The most appealing thing about the Titanic, the author says is the fact that you get to die together with other and not alone. It is a good way to die because you die together with a crowd, after being well fed and surrounded by friends, servants, music and light.
The speaker starts with a question therefore it sounds like a calm, meditative monologue. The speaker feels a death like the one on Titanic would be a pleasant one, with the cries of others remind you that you are not alone and with the certainty that history will make note of your death so that you can be remembered by future generations.
