The Complete Story of the Titanic - and more | History for Sleep (2 Hours)

Tonight, drift slowly back to the year 1912, to the story of the RMS Titanic, the greatest and most luxurious ship the world had ever seen, and to the tragic and unforgettable tale of her first and only voyage. From the dream and the building of the great ship to the grandeur of her decks, the passengers and the crew, the maiden voyage, the iceberg, and the long night of the sinking, to the rescue, the aftermath, and the discovery of the wreck upon the ocean floor — calmly and gently told, with respect for those who were lost, to help you relax and fall asleep. So dim the lights, maybe turn on a fan for that soft background hum, and let's ease into tonight's journey together. Soft campfire ambience throughout. No loud music, no sudden sounds — just calm, quiet history.
