Archibald Gracie Books
Archibald Gracie IV was an American author known for his detailed account of the Titanic disaster. His writing is characterized by precision and personal insight, offering a unique eyewitness perspective on the events of that fateful night. Gracie's work stands as a valuable contribution to the documentation of this historic tragedy, providing readers with a profound look into human experiences in the face of disaster. His style is direct and impactful, emphasizing the human dimension of the catastrophe.
Here is a survivor's vivid account of the greatest maritime disaster in history. The information contained in Gracie's account is available from no other source. He provides details of those final moments, including names of passengers pulled from the ocean and of those men who, in a panic, jumped into lifeboats as they were being lowered, causing injury and further danger to life. Walter Lord, author of A Night to Remember, comments that Gracie's book?written shortly before he died from the exposure he suffered on that night?is "invaluable for chasing down who went in what boat," and calls Gracie "an indefatigable detective."
