Sinking of the Titanic, Most Appalling Ocean Horror

by Jay Henry Mowbray

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. Published in 1912, within months of the sinking of TITANIC, this book features first-hand accounts by survivors, people in rescue boats, and other on-the-scene witnesses who offer heartwarming testimony about the great disaster.
