Origins of Titanic Myths
22 Sep 2000
By J. Soloway
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This reproduction of a contemporary publication is an interesting artifact that illustrates the exploitation of the Titanic disaster by the press at this time. It also demonstrates how much of the mythology about the Titanic got started. If you want to learn as much about the truth as can be learned about happened that night the transcripts of the American and British hearings are far superior as are the better organized and accurate accounts by survivors including Mr. Beesley, second cabin passenger and Col. Gracie, first cabin passenger.

4.0 out of 5 stars
a time capsal of the sinking.
26 May 2008
By Kelsey May Dangelo
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Published only months after the Titanic disaster, this is a collection of accounts of the tragedy. Although the book contains much hearsay and inaccuracies for sensationalization, reading the stories from the lips of the survivors and witnesses is moving and meaningful. The accounts are infused with the feeling of the times, with both melodramatic sentimentality and the thoroughly offensive racism, sexism, and classism. Despite all of this, the book is an intriguing perspective on the Titanic, fully capturing the psychology and sociology of the times, in its reaction to the disaster and also reflecting what caused it to be. Grade: B+

Dover does it again!

I'm glad that Dover publishes these replica editions, because it would be nearly impossible to find this material elsewhere. These accounts, straight from the survivors, are important to those of us that study the Titanic, and should be shared with the public at large.
