A Night to Remember really holds up! Thanks for sharing your experience! I know exactly how you feel- let me recommend On a Sea of Glass if you're interested in another stellar (and slightly more accurate) account of the sinking.
Glad to have you here!
TubiTV has a few documentaries including an exclusive one Mysteries From The Grave that came out this year. There's also 100 Years Below from 2012 which I assume is an update of 90 Years Below though haven't seen either.
This AMA has ended. I'd like to extend a huge, public, and emphatic THANK YOU to Inger for sharing her knowledge and being so generous with her time.
If you haven't yet picked up Titanic Valour: The Life of Fifth Officer Harold Lowe do yourself a favor and get one! Furthermore, if you're ever in Sydney, make sure you stop by the Australian National Maritime Museum or consider dropping them a small donation to help support their incredible work.
Anytime. The last two aren't exclusively about Titanic but does include chapters on their experiences aboard. There are quite a few compilations of survivor accounts as well- taken from diaries, letters, and newspapers. My favorite is George Behe's On Board RMS Titanic.
Memories of the Maiden Voyage by George Behe is a collection of every known written account of people on the Titanic. Specifically, this is on letters/telegrams/accounts etc. written either on the ship or on the Carpathia, with a little wiggle room pre-and-post disembarking.
Here's the Amazon link.
Another good one is Titanic Voices. (see it here) A good lifeboat-by-lifeboat collection of survivor accounts. Some of the author's historical conclusions have been debated, but this is still a solid collection.
I know YoutubeTV has it as one of their standard channels. You can get 7 days free as a trial- so you always could sign up the day before, watch it, then cancel the service.
This was mentioned on more than occasion in Wyn Craig Wade's book (https://www.amazon.com/Titanic-Dream-Wyn-Craig-Wade/dp/0140166912 ; as I recall it it also included SOPs from the relevant authorities which I could not locate in a few minutes of searching in the book. I did find the following by searching for 'ramming':
>[Ismay said in committee hearings] "When we built the Titanic we had that especially in mind. If this ship had hit the iceberg stem on, in all human probability she would have been here today." A murmur filled the room...Joseph Conrad would groan as he imagined the seamanship of the twentieth century: "When in doubt try to ram fairly--whatever's before you."
Have you read this book? You might find it interesting.
Lowe was definitely an interesting character!
It was such fun to build. I have never done a model before despite having a few boxed ones, they are way too daunting, but I’m so pleased with this that I’m going to start them!
The Dimensions are 88 x 10.4 x 24.8cm and this is where you can buy it:

To answer your question on the other response. I am not sure if any books talk at length about the people sitting in the life boats but there is a commednum book that includes some well known passengers books they wrote on the subject. Archibald Gracie writes in depth about the lifeboat process, which ones were loaded and when they left. He was also one of the men on the upturned boat. This is probably my favorite book I have read and includes Gracies book along with Second Officer Lightoller and a second class passenger named Lawrence Beasley. https://www.amazon.com/Story-Titanic-Survivors-Dover-Maritime/dp/0486206106/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1LIKY8DYH2Y4E&dchild=1&keywords=archibald+gracie+titanic&qid=1598381937&sprefix=arcibald+gracie+%2Caps%2C229&sr=8-8
