Leaving New York for Genoa on April 11th, 1912, Philip Mauro and his wife had little idea that they would become eye-witnesses to history four days later, when their ship, the Carpathia, picked up 700 cold and bedraggled survivors of the Titanic disaster. For the first time since 1912, Mr.Mauro's small and extremely rare book reflecting on the lessons of the disaster is available. Using his knowledge of the scriptures, Mauro talks of the religious, spiritual and theological background to the catastrophe.
