I’m reading 1912 Facts about the Titanic which I heartily recommend, it’s a good read – loads of human stories including of the ‘little people’ which a lot of the accounts tend to focus on the Astors and Guggenheims and Strausses.
I also bought a replica of the 3rd Class White Star Line coffee cup, which is as camp as hell but lovely.
