Preface: A vast ocean of things I didn't know --
Of those in peril on the sea --
As far from the sea as a person could get --
Caught in a maelstrom --
Deliver us from seasickness --
To the lifeboats--women and children first! --
'To see how the sea flap-dragoned it' --
Pull for the shore, sailor --
Tossed on the ocean of life --
Navigating new waters --
Phantom from a watery grave --
Afterword: Titanic memorabilia.
