  • "In this unique account, Gracie describes his personal experiences and remarkable escape from death in the icy waters of the Atlantic, painting a vivid picture of what it was like on board the Titanic in its final hours. Tracking down other survivors for their stories and attending court hearings to obtain the official record, Colonel Gracie filled in the details of his account, struggling to complete it in spite of illness."@en
  • "Archibald Gracie was probably among the last to leave the sinking Titanic on that cold April night in 1912. His is the most accurate contemporary account of what happened from the moment that the great liner hit the iceberg. He describes his personal experiences and remarkable escape from death in the icy waters of the Atlantic, and chronicles the rescue of the survivors who escaped from the Titanic in her death-throes. He gives the names of passengers and crew loaded aboard; those picked out of the water; the stowaways found; the men who jumped from the deck onto boats being lowered, injuring the occupants and endangering their lives; and the passengers transferred to the rescuing Carpathia. Throughout the summer of 1912, Gracie felt unwell but struggled to complete his account of the sinking of the Titanic."@en

Tracking down other survivors for their stories and attending court hearings to obtain the official record, Colonel Gracie filled in the details of his account, struggling to complete it in spite of illness. Largely due to the effects of his ordeal and exposure in the frigid Atlantic, he finally succumbed on December 4, 1912. His book was published in 1913 to universal acclaim and remains one of the most vivid and first-hand accounts of the disaster."@en
