On the 170th anniversary of this devastating tragedy, Gill Hoffs reveals the probably cause of the fatal blaze and highlights the heroism of an anonymous black stewardess and the many sailors who came to the rescue, as well as the unpleasant actions of some of the "saviours" that day. Red cloth boards, silver title to spine. A few b/w photos. xii and 241 pages including index. ISBN: 9781526734396. A lovely copy.
