Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Gripping first-hand testimony by survivors, rescuers, and others brings the great maritime disaster into harrowing focus in this 1912 "memorial edition," first published shortly after the tragedy. Eyewitnesses recount heart-breaking tales of parting with loved ones, watching the great ship sink, and floating helplessly for long hours on icy seas until rescued by the Carpathia. Numerous rare illustrations—photos of crew, celebrity passengers; drawings of the decks and luxurious interiors. Preface. Introduction. Great Marine Disasters from 1866 to 1911. List of Passengers Missing and Rescued.

3.0 out of 5 stars Origins of Titanic Myths, September 22, 2000
By J. Soloway (Sacramento, CA U) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This reproduction of a contemporary publication is an interesting artifact that illustrates the exploitation of the Titanic disaster by the press at this time. It also demonstrates how much of the mythology about the Titanic got started. If you want to learn as much about the truth as can be learned about happened that night the transcripts of the American and British hearings are far superior as are the better organized and accurate accounts by survivors including Mr. Beesley, second cabin passenger and Col. Gracie, first cabin passenger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dover does it again!, April 1, 2000
I'm glad that Dover publishes these replica editions, because it would be nearly impossible to find this material elsewhere. These accounts, straight from the survivors, are important to those of us that study the Titanic, and should be shared with the public at large.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Reproduction!, March 16, 2003
Great glimpse into the attitudes of the time...even the typeface, factual errors and misspellings add to the dramatic documentation of the stunned and outraged reactions to the sinking of the great RMS TITANIC. Will be especially enjoyed by TITANIC scholars and enthusiastis who now know the "real" story of her sinking...these personal, tragic tales will greatly enhances anyone's technical knowledge and interest in that Night to Remember!

2.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive
I was really looking forward to reading this book but got bored within the first two chapters. It is repetitive, over and over the same thing. Don't waste your money.
