The loss of the s. s. titanic its story and its lessons

A chilling, first-person account of the sinking of the Titanic, first published by Houghton Mifflin in 1912, just two months after the tragedy. 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.
