It is 110 years since the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. The magnificent ship was a floating microcosm of Edwardian society, from the very rich to the poor. Its story is one of hubris for the wealthy, and the death of so many ambitions and dreams among passengers and crew. There were people from the area now covered by the Borough of Camden in all classes and among the crew representing a cross-section of society. See how their experiences of the voyage differed according to their place in a very stratified society and follow their stories.
