`An important and moving contribution to the study of the Titanic.' - Gareth Russell, author of The Ship of DreamsAs Titanic left Southampton in 1912, neither the aristocrat nor the able seaman could have imagined they would end up navigating a tiny lifeboat together at night among towering icebergs. But when Thomas Jones realised No�l Rothes' calm capability, he put her at the tiller of his boat, and for seven long hours they did all they could to shepherd twenty-five other people to safety. Their ordeal forged an unlikely rapport that lasted until No�l died in 1956. Drawing on contemporary sources, personal papers and letters, Angela Young, No�l's great-granddaughter, brings their incredible story to light - a story of courage in the face of unthinkable tragedy.
