Titanic: A Survivor's Story (The Truth About Titanic)
Gracie Archibald
Awakened by the shuddering of a huge iceberg puncturing the side
of the ship, Colonel Archibald Gracie was quickly dressed and on deck to
see the aftermath of what was to become the most famous collision in
history. He had gone to bed early on the night of 14 April 1912,
expecting to be up with the larks, and enjoying a session in the gym and
a game of squash before breakfast but by morning he was standing atop
an overturned lifeboat awaiting rescue from the frozen North Atlantic.
The night's exertions were to have a huge effect on Gracie. He began to
write the story of the tragic events soon after he was back on dry land,
completing most of the task by Autumn 1912. Telling the story of the
last few hours of the sinking Titanic, and his miraculous escape as she
plummeted 14,000 feet to the ocean floor, Gracie's book is recognised as
simply the best account of the disaster. He died in December 1912,
while proofing the manuscript, but the Truth about the Titanic remains
today as the most accurate of the eyewitness accounts, recording
Gracie's own story as well as that of each of the lifeboats as they left
the doomed Titanic
