{"product_id":"9781837051144","title":"The Aristocrat and the Able Seaman : The Countess of Rothes, Thomas Jones, and the Tragedy of Titanic","description":"\u003cp\u003e`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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":59258012860750,"sku":"9781837051144","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781837051144.jpg?v=1774552808","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781837051144","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
