"First published in 1912, just two short months after the sinking of the Titanic, this hauntingly immediate account opens with Lawrence Beesley's story of arriving onshore and soon after walking through the doors of Messrs., Houghton and Mifflin to tell his tale. The Loss of the S. S. Titanic represents Beesley's attempt not just to record the events of the sinking but to set the record straight.
In so doing, he captures both the majesty and the tragedy of this legendary voyage - the view from the lifeboat as well as that from the deck."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
The circumstances in which this book came to be written are as follows. Some five weeks after the survivors from the Titanic landed in New York, I was the guest at luncheon of Hon. Samuel J. Elder and Hon. Charles T. Gallagher, both well-known lawyers in Boston. After luncheon I was asked to relate to those present the experiences of the survivors in leaving the Titanic and reaching the Carpathia.
