The Loss of the Ss. Titanic: Its Story and Its Lessons

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.

The Loss of the Ss. Titanic

The sinking of the Titanic has captured the imagination of the public like no other tragedy of the modern age.  Lawrence Beesley's eyewitness account of the disastrous voyage stands as one of the most carefully written and authoritative books on the subject, despite the fact that it was published only months after the event.  Beesley was uniquely qualified to write this book, having himself been a second class passenger aboard the SS Titanic.  He gives a detailed description of his personal experiences aboard the doomed luxury liner, setting the record straight on many topics, as well as presenting the event from a variety of other perspectives.   Rich in both narrative detail and compassion, The Loss of the SS Titanic should be the first port of call for anyone interested in the famous ship.
