Description

First published in 1912, just two short months after the sinking of the TITANIC, this hauntingly immediate account opens with Lawrence Beesley's story of arriving onshore and soon after walking through the doors of Messrs. Houghton and Mifflin to tell his tale. THE LOSS OF THE S.S. TITANIC represents Beesley's attempt not just to record the events of the sinking but to set the record straight. In so doing, he captures both the majesty and the tragedy of this legendary voyage -- the view from the lifeboat as well as that from the deck. Full of wonderful nautical detail and written with a hair-raising clarity, THE LOSS OF THE S.S. TITANIC is an altogether spellbinding tale of that fateful night -- one you won't soon forget.

Author Biography:

Lawrence Beesley was a science teacher, journalist, Titanic survivor, and author of the successful book, The Loss of the S.S. Titanic, based on his experience that harrowing night. A second class passenger, Beesley had been in his cabin reading when the collision occurred, and through a chance of fate happened to be on A-deck when men were allowed to board the lifeboats. After the sinking, Beesley returned to England and resumed his career in education. Lawrence Beesley died on February 14, 1967, at the age of 89.
