The captain was nowhere to be found. The ship started taking in water in the auxiliary engine room just a few hours after it had set sail from East London.

The ship's entertainment staff bravely started to calm passengers and coordinated the abandon-ship operation and rescue effort.

The story of this dramatic rescue, which made headlines across the world, is told from the perspective of all the key role players and describes their extraordinary heroism.
