One of the sources I used in an effort to capture something of the atmosphere aboard Titanic was Titanic, Honour and Glory. It’s a computer game but so much more. The developers have been working on this for YEARS, trying to make it not just a game but the most accurate virtual recreation of Titanic ever attempted. The amount of research they’ve done is truly staggering. There’s a demo walk-through you can download at their website, but to give you a taste, here’s a demo video of the sinking (released in June this year). There’s probably still some work to be done, but as a sample… imagine what it would be like to be on board and see this freezing water edging towards you! Terrifying! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdgXjBVyo8M
