Answers

GPT-5 mini
Do you mean a specific book titled "Titanic," or do you want a general description of books about the Titanic?

If you mean generally: books called "Titanic" (or books about the Titanic) typically recount the 1912 maiden voyage and sinking of the RMS Titanic after it struck an iceberg. They focus on the ship’s design and hubris, the sequence of events on the night of April 14–15, personal stories of passengers and crew, rescue and aftermath, inquiries and causes, and the disaster’s cultural legacy. Depending on the book, the approach may be:
- non‑fiction narrative history (chronological, eyewitness testimony and research),
- first‑person or compiled oral histories,
- historical fiction following specific characters,
- illustrated reference books about the ship and wreck.

If you had a particular title or author in mind (for example Walter Lord’s A Night to Remember, Deborah Hopkinson’s Titanic: Voices from the Disaster, or the contemporary account by Logan Marshall), tell me which one and I’ll give a specific summary.
