About the Author

Stephen Cameron, a retired station commander in the Northern Ireland Fire Brigade, was born in Belfast in 1952. His interest in maritime topics resulted in him becoming co-founder and past chairman of the Ulster Titanic Society. His previous publication, 'Titanic: Belfast's Own', was a best seller in 1998. The loss of the Princess Victoria has been a long-time interest of Stephen's, resulting in the devotion of four years' intensive research to produce this book. Stephen is married with two grown-up children and resides in Bangor, Co Down.
