We all know the story of the Titanic, but the story most people do not know is the story of eight brave musicians who continued to play on while mass chaos ensued as the titanic sank. On April 14th 1912, at 23:40, just four days into her maiden voyage, that Titanic struck an iceberg and sank the following morning. While the ship was sinking, 8 brave musicians began playing in the lounge, to calm passengers. As the chaos moved to the deck, the band followed and continued playing. Steve Turner does a great job of depicting the heroic acts of Wallace Hartley, John Wesley Woodward, John Fredrick Preston Clarke, Theodore Ronald Brailey, John Law Hume, Roger Marie Bricoux, Percy Cornelius Taylor and Georges Alexandre Krins on that fateful night in 1962.
The Band That Played On is a very inspirational story. The way these eight men sacrificed their lives to attempt to calm the mayhem that was swelling on the deck of the Titanic as it sank, is truly inspirational and an ultimate act of accepting the path that God set for them. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the history of the Titanic or interested in learning more about what happened the night the Titanic sank. This also is a great story for anyone who enjoys reading about people who live their lives for Christ and seek to follow the path that He has for them.
