People were angered and frightened that the world\u2019s largest ship, with the most modern safety features, had failed. As the world\u2019s newspapers slowly filled with stories from the survivors of incredible hardship and some remarkable feats of courage and sacrifice, the public\u2019s fascination with the <em>Titanic<\/em> story intensified and has remained strong to this day.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Titanic<\/em> saga has particularly appealed to genealogists, as family historians map out family lines and ancestors lost that day, and trace those that miraculously survived.
