On the night the Titanic slipped beneath the black waters of the North Atlantic, over fifteen hundred souls were lost.
One man; an ordinary ship's baker; performed the extraordinary.
Charles Joughin, Chief Baker of the Titanic, was known for his speed, his stamina, and his steady hands in the ship's massive galleys. But when the great liner struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912, his world changed forever. As panic spread across the decks, Joughin worked relentlessly; helping women into lifeboats, throwing provisions to the boats, and refusing to abandon his post even as the bow vanished beneath the waves.
When the stern rose into the sky, Joughin climbed to the very last rail and stepped off the sinking ship with uncanny calm. In water cold enough to kill within minutes, he swam. He kept moving. He held onto an upside down lifeboat for hours until rescue came at dawn.
Told with historical accuracy and gripping clarity, this biography traces Joughin's journey from a childhood in Birkenhead to the galleys of the White Star Line, through that unforgettable night, and into the decades of quiet life that followed; a life forever shadowed by the ship he refused to leave until the end.
A story of endurance.
A story of survival.
A story of a working man who defied the Atlantic.
Discover the incredible true account of the man history calls the Unsinkable Baker.
