PREFACE TO THE DOVER EDITION

i

W hat really happened on board the Titanic on the morning of April 15, 1912? Why did a ship that responsible naval architects and builders proclaimed unsinkable sink so easily and so rapidly? Is it true that the captain was drunk? Was the White Star Line trying to establish a speed record through waters that were known to be studded with icebergs? Did the band really play Nearer My God to Thee as the ship towered on end for its plunge into the sea? Was the crew heroic, or did hordes of panic-stricken stewards pile into the lifeboats and have to be rowed away from the ship by women? Did an American millionaire try to buy his way into one of the boats, and did another disguise himself as a woman to escape? Why did the California stand some four miles away, watching distress signals, yet make no move to save the fifteen hundred men, women, and children?

Draw your own conclusions from the documents presented in this book. Here, in this reader about the Titanic, are reprinted for the first time all of the most significant accounts by survivors of the great ships destruction: the full text of Beesleys book The Loss of the S. S. Titanic, Colonel Gracies book The Truth about the Titanic , and the narratives of Second Officer Lightoller and Assistant Radio Operator Bride.
