# Titanic A&E Home Video Documentary Part I

She was the pride of the White Star Line. Nicknamed "The Wonder Ship" and the "Millionaire's Special" the ST Titanic's size and luxury were unprecedented. So was her passenger list: John Jacob Astor, perhaps the richest man in the world; Mr. and Mrs. Straus, founders of Macy's department store. At the helm would be the White Star's best, Captain Edward J. Smith, making his last voyage before retirement. The "unsinkable" Titanic was a dream come true. Four city blocks long. A passenger list worth 250 million dollars. But on her maiden voyage in April 1912, that dream became a nightmare when the giant ship struck an iceberg and sank in the cold Atlantic. More than 1,500 lives were lost in one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century. Now, the sensational history of the premier liner is recounted definitively in TITANIC. Using newsreels, stills, diaries, and interviews with survivors, TITANIC charts the fateful history of the ship and its passengers in a gripping and authentic account of the legendary disaster.
