Early on the morning of April 15, 1911, the passenger liner Titanic sank in the North Atlantic. Of the 2,224 passengers on board, 1,514 died. Orchestras in first and second class on the Titanic that night played popular songs of the day. Irish musicians in third class played rousing jigs and reels. Popular songs such as Alexander's Ragtime Band as well as energetic Irish tunes and songs about the sinking of the great ship are included in one-of-a-kind music performance by Phil Passen, singing and playing the hammered dulcimer.
