About this book

Published in 1912, Jay Henry Mowbray's account brings together reports of the Titanic disaster in the North Atlantic and testimony attributed to survivors. Its opening sets the ship's luxurious fittings and confidence in its safety against the shortage of lifeboats. The author treats the loss as a public tragedy, praising personal courage while calling for stricter rules, inspections and crew drills. Accounts of other disasters also appear in the volume.

The passenger recollections give the history a more immediate scale. Mrs. Hogeboom describes hurried preparations, warm coats pulled over night clothes and the lowering of a lifeboat. Miss Andrews recalls taking an oar herself. These voices sit alongside the author's emphatic language of grief and duty. Readers interested in maritime history can study both the experiences recorded here and the way an early account framed responsibility, rescue and remembrance.
