The Truth About The Titanic, Annotated

by Archibald Gracie

The author, Colonel Archibald Gracie, survived the sinking of the ship by climbing aboard on to an overturned collapsible lifeboat, thus living to tell the tale of the tragedy that captivates the world to this day. As soon as he got back to New York, while his memories were still fresh, he began writing this book. He gives a complete account of the sinking of the great ship, along with personal references that will make the book an absorbing interest. In addition to the personal narratives, he has added a detailed account of the launching and adventures of lifeboats, passengers, and crew, and the names of those who said goodbye to their wives and children and stood aside, bravely facing their own impending mortality. It is a fascinating and vivid picture that Colonel Gracie has drawn; a picture not merely memorable, but ineradicable. First published in 1913, the book, which has become a classic, has been reprinted many times. This particular publication is annotated with a short biography of Colonel Gracie, what became of his wife and daughters, along with additional pictures to the ones in the original book.
