Review of "The Maiden Voyage" by Geoffrey Marcus

by Terri Bey

The Titanic Book Club's "Book of the Month" for February is author Geoffrey Marcus' "The Maiden Voyage." The historical information included in the book is somewhat outdated as it was first published in 1969. After all, much more has been discovered about the RMS Titanic when the wreck of the great liner was found in 1985. However, the information in the book was very helpful to "Raise the Titanic " author Clive Cussler who said of Marcus, " I am Particularly indebted to G.J. Marcus, whose book, "The Maiden Voyage, has been invaluable to me."

Overall, I really loved this book, even if it was outdated concerning the facts. The book was very well-written. Marcus tells the story of the RMS Titanic from the Boat Train, to departure, to the tragedy, to the inquiries. I really enjoyed reading about the trip that passengers would take on the Boat Train. That was very interesting. I could imagine the excitement of the passengers who were going to be on the brand new liner. Marcus captures departure day as if the reader were there. I easily imagined myself there and going about the largest ship in the world at that time.

When the reader comes to the part where the RMS Titanic is on what wound up being just 5 days at sea, the author gives the reader a vision of a ship that is completely splendid and for me, magical. The way the author described all the rooms and decorations made me feel like I was on a ship that had a certain magical aura about her. Before that tragic event, being on that grand liner had to have been like Heaven on earth, at least that is how the author portrayed it. The author did a great job of describing the collision and the tragedy, with the facts he had.

I also appreciated that Marcus delved into both the American and British Inquiries. According to his book, the American Inquiry conducted by US Senator William Alden Smith (R-MI) was not received well in Great Britain as the liner was British operated and considered "British" even though technically the RMS Titanic was American owned via American businessman J.P. Morgan's International Marine Merchant, a conglomerate which owned several shipping companies, including the White Star Line and ironically, the Leyland Line, which ironically operated the S.S. Californian , Senator Smith's line of questioning was seen as a joke.

The author gives an interesting picture of the events of the British Inquiry. Titanic Second Officer Charles H. Lightoller, the highest ranking officer to survive the disaster, called it a "whitewashing." The way Marcus described it, it certainly was. What was the most interesting about it was how spectators reacted when certain witnesses came to testify. When the Duff Gordons testified, the audience was dressed up, as they were going to a day at Royal Ascot. It was a huge event. When it came to Captain Stanley Lord and the Officers of the S.S. Californian , the audience hung on every word.

Of course, the author obliterates Captain Lord in his book. That was predictable. However, the author also blames the Californian 's wireless operator Cyril Evans for the " Californian Affair", all because he didn't put that fateful iceberg warning in a proper message format. Evans had sent the Titanic a message warning of ice, starting with, "Say, old man...." As most people know, Titanic operator Jack Phillips was busy working Cape Race and sending private messages that were backed up. Phillips replies rudely, "Shut up, Shut up. Keep Out. I'm working Cape Race." Evans never makes an attempt to resend and shuts down his equipment at 11:30 pm, Californian ATS. The author went on and on about how Evans was supposed to get permission from the captain to get a message and do all these things. I just think it was a bit much to blame the whole thing on Evans, just because Evans didn't put "MSG" on the ice warning. Evans should have, but he shouldn't take the blame.

Overall, I highly recommend this book. Geoffrey Marcus' writing is easy to read and comprehend. The book is very interesting and I think this book will be good for Titanic Enthusiasts to enjoy.

“Maiden Voyage: A Titanic Story”

By sarah jane.

"Maiden Voyage: A Titanic Story" by Sarah Jane

Three remarkable young lives intersect in this thrilling tale, set in April 1912 during the last days of the doomed luxury liner, Titanic.

Isabella James is an unwilling passenger. Her poor but loving parents purchase for her a third-class berth from London to New York—it’s all they can afford. But they will not be coming with her. Instead, they bid farewell to the anguished twelve-year-old girl, handing over their hard-earned savings and an envelope that she is not supposed to open until just before the Titanic docks in New York. Isabella has no idea that the envelope conceals clues to a true identity that she had never imagined—one that could change her life for the better, or possibly for much, much worse.

Lucy Miles, just into her teens, inhabits an entirely different world. She will be traveling first class, with her parents Phillip and Elisabeth. Her father is a hard man. Unbeknownst to his wife and daughter, he also is a fugitive from justice with plans that could ruin the family. Elisabeth, once a vigorous woman who campaigned actively for women’s right to vote, has fallen strangely ill and is now an invalid. As the Titanic enters its last hours before sinking, Lucy, who had hoped the trip would unite her family, will be forced to make a terrible choice between her parents.

Abigail “Abby” O’Rourke is an orphan. She is also a maid for the Miles family, who have given her a second-class berth. Abby’s mother, once a maid to the same family, has recently died under mysterious circumstances. Now all Abby has left in the world is her seven-year-old brother Felix, whom she has smuggled onto the Titanic as a stowaway. When they get to New York, Abby plans to run away with Felix, and make a new life in America.

This is only a dash of the drama that packs Maiden Voyage . As the three girls face their personal challenges, their lives intertwine further and further; and the more they learn about themselves, the stronger they become. At the novel’s action-packed crescendo, with the Titanic striking an iceberg, Isabella, Lucy and Abby must join forces to overcome an unexpected villain. Not only their own lives are at stake, but others they love, too—including Felix and a young crewman, Jasper, who has shown Abby the meaning of hope.

Maiden Voyage succeeds as a thriller and a historical novel. The story runs at a breakneck pace, and its occasional errors and plot holes disappear quickly in the rearview mirror. Young readers will enjoy the historical descriptions of the magnificent Titanic while learning how its opulence barely concealed often cruel class and social divisions. Most important, readers will draw inspiration from the stories of Isabella, Lucy and Abby—pointing to the vital humanity that emerges from study of the past.

MAIDEN VOYAGE

Written with Bernadette Brennan immediately following her circumnavigation, Maiden Voyage, Tania Aebi’s spellbinding account of her epic solo journey around the world, is currently in its fourteenth trade paperback printing. It has been translated into eight languages, and portions of it have been anthologized in many collections. It also spent three weeks on The London Times bestseller list, and was selected in 1998 as a Best Book For Young Adults by the American Library Association. As Walter Cronkite put it, Maiden Voyage is “an exciting tale of an extraordinarily brave and romantic adventure.”

“Like most first-class yarns of passage-making heroics, Aebi’s story is a much deeper adventure of the kind of self-discovery that one finds only when pushing toward one’s limit. ”  – The Boston Globe

AVAILABLE NOW

I’VE BEEN AROUND

In 1997, Tania Aebi was hired as a columnist by the fledging sailing magazine Latitudes & Attitudes. “Casual and friendly in its approach to the sailing world, the magazine’s tone provided me with a place to explore my own reflections on what I already knew and continued to learn about the sailing way of life and how to share it all with others.” In over twenty years of cruising by herself and with family, and leading ten-day flotillas to charter destinations in a professional capacity, she has gathered many anecdotes, observations, opinions, cautionary tales and advice. Indeed, she has been around. In this, her first book since Maiden Voyage, there is something for the armchair sailor dreaming about sailing off one day, as well as for the sailor in the cockpit actively chasing those horizons.

“Aebi helps us remember that sailing and being on the water are the important things, not how much the boat costs or whether we have all the latest gadgets and doohickies. Since she sailed around the globe in a 26-foot boat without GPS, perhaps we can learn a few lessons from her.” –  Carolina Currents

THE LOG OF SHANGRI-LA

In 2007, with her sons aged 16 and 14, Tania bought a steel sloop in Saint Maarten, a Deviliers 36, and with her boys, sailed it across the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, and across the South Pacific, via the Marquesas and Tuamotus, to Tahiti. There, she handed the boat and boys over to their father, and they continued on for the second half of the voyage across the Pacific, stopping in the Cook Islands, Samoa, Wallis and Futuna, Fiji and New Caledonia—joint custody goes to sea for one school year. See the pictures and read all about it in a chronicle of the voyage Tania kept underway for Boat US.

Maiden Voyage

Author: keegan bruce, item summary, shipping information, replacement/refund policy, about the book, about the author, reviews (0).

Stephan Downs is quite possibly one of the luckiest boys alive. He gets to travel on the new ship RMS Titanic with his father on her maiden voyage. While he only travels in second class, the features and amenities of the class are still jaw-dropping. The libraries, lounges, and saloons of the second class are still on par with first-class facilities on other ships. On board, he begins to make new acquaintances, explore the ship, and uncover every best spot to roam around.

The night of April 14 is inconspicuous. However, after the ship infamously strikes an iceberg, Stephan uncovers the truth hidden by the crew; the unsinkable ship is sinking. However, once the discovery is made, it's already too late. Stephan and his father must now battle the icy Atlantic as the ship sinks lower and lower, and Stephan becomes moments from an icy demise . . .

Keegan Bruce was born March 12, 2009, in the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. He first learned of the Titanic and her story when he was seven, directly providing a topic for the book. He likes to read, write, and play video games; and he plays hockey during the winter. He lives with his mother and father, brother, and two dogs in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

It’s safe to assume that everyone is eagerly expecting the arrival of The Thursday Murder Club , which is still yet to announce a release date. Nevertheless, Richard Osman , whose book the upcoming film is based on, has the most fantastic update regarding filming, and of course, fans will definitely be here for it. Produced by Amblin Entertainment , Jennifer Todd Pictures, and Maiden Voyage Pictures, The Thursday Murder Club began filming in June of this year and will tell the story of a group of elderly unprofessional detectives who try to solve a murder.

During a sit-down on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X , Osman revealed that today, Wednesday, September 11, marks the last day of filming on The Thursday Murder Club , which has been in production in the UK for months. The acclaimed author said, "I've been down [to set] a few times, I'm leaving them to it – my job is to write the book, they're making the film of it – but I've been down a few times."

Despite being on set, Osman has confirmed that he will not make an appearance in the new movie, but he might do “one little voice thing.” In his words, "I might do one little voice thing, but I can't be [in it]. People going, 'Why is the guy from Pointless in a Sussex police station?' It'd be a bit odd." The novelist then went on to hint at a release window for The Thursday Murder Club movie, saying it "should be out next year;" however, not give fans unrealistic expectations, he added, "Who knows with films."

What Is ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ About?

​​​​​​Directed by Chris Columbus from a screenplay he co-wrote with Katy Brand , The Thursday Murder Club features quite an extraordinary cast with the likes of Helen Mirren , Pierce Brosnan , Ben Kingsley , David Tennant , Jonathan Pryce , Naomi Ackie , Daniel Mays and Henry Lloyd-Hughes making up the list. Furthermore, Netflix is scheduled to release this highly anticipated film, whose official synopsis reads:

“Four septuagenarian friends live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. But when a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime."

One other big name attached to the crime comedy film is Steven Spielberg , who appeared on set with Osman and may or may not appear in the movie, as the English writer failed to rule out the possibility in the recent interview with Chris Moyles. At the moment, no release date has been set for The Thursday Murder Club movie, so do stay tuned to Collider for further updates.

Editorial Reviews

"The crime-infested dystopian world Mr. Girod created in his novel, The Maiden Voyage of New York City , is inventive and animated. This character-driven story takes the reader on an adventure through the eyes of the haves and the have-nots, the gangsters and the protagonists who are fighting for their city and their lives. I thought the book was a dynamic contrast of innovation and classic corruption." - Dorlana Vann, author of The Trouble with Snowmen
