Titanic's passengers weren't just European, they were Chinese, Syrian, Lebanese, Bulgarian, Croatian and others.
The Atlantic crossing for them meant leaving behind everything familiar, decoding new worlds, and hoping the next stranger would show you the way.
For Lebanese passenger Hinnah Tu’mah traveling with her two young children, the journey began with a camel ride from their Lebanese hill town, followed by ships and trains, each step fueled by the promise of family and a better life.
On April 10, 1912, they boarded the Titanic as third-class passengers; risking everything for the hope of reuniting with a husband and father waiting in Michigan. Their story is one of trust, courage, and unbreakable bonds. Read Hinnah's story in Steerage and Steel: True Stories of Titanic's Immigrants and Crew, available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and www.unboundpressbooks.com.
