The Loss of the S. S. Titanic by Lawrence Beesley
This analytic, yet personal, account of the sinking of the Titanic by Lawrence Beelsely, scholar of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, provides a valuable complement to the American and British governmental inquiries and modern movies.LAWRENCE BEESLEY (1877 - 1967) was a Titanic survivor who worked as a science teacher, journalist, and author. He was born in the Derbyshire town of Wirksworth. Beesley's book about the accident, which came released only nine weeks after the disaster, was a major hit. Beesley famously gate crashed the set during the sinking sequence in A Night to Remember, hoping to 'go down with the ship' that time. Nevertheless, owing to actor's union rules, the director saw him and vetoed his unscheduled appearance.
Lawrence Beesley's grandson, NICHOLAS WADE, has contributed a additional prologue to this version as well as new illustrations from the family archives. He is a scientific correspondent for the New York Times, and he recalls his grandfather telling him amazing stories about the Titanic's battle for survival. He resides in the state of New Jersey, in the United States of America.
