The Story of the Wreck of the Titanic by Marshall Everett

Published in the immediate wake of the famous maritime disaster, this graphic and thrilling account of the sinking of the greatest Floating Palace ever built sold briskly to an eager public. A century later, its tragic tale continues to captivate readers. These contemporary reports describe the luxury liner, its passengers, and the circumstances of the wreck. Gripping narratives by survivors recount episodes of heroism and cowardice along with dramatic rescues and moving incidents of self-sacrifice.
In addition to chronicling the wide-ranging outpouring of grief and the establishment of many memorials, this fascinating compilation presents expert analysis of the shipwreck's causes and the findings of a Senate investigation convened to determine responsibility for the catastrophe. Historic photographs and specially commissioned drawings appear throughout the book.

Marshall Everett (1863-1939) was a master at chronicling recent misfortunes in a timely manner. The Entire Biography of William McKinley and the Account of His Assassination, The Great Chicago Theater Tragedy, and The Full Narrative of the San Francisco Earthquake are only a few of his works.
