To the 1635 souls who were lost with the ill-fated Titanic, and especially to those heroic men, who, instead of trying to save themselves, stood aside that women and children might have their chance; of each of them let it be written, as it was written of a Greater One--"He Died that Others might Live" "I stood in unimaginable trance And agony that cannot be remembered."--COLERIDGE Dr. Van Dyke's Spiritual Consolation to the Survivors of the Titanic The Titanic, greatest of ships, has gone to her ocean grave. What has she left behind her? Think clearly.

Das wohl größte Unglück der modernen Schifffahrt, der Zusammenstoß der Titanic mit einem Eisberg im Nordatlantik im Jahre 1912, ist beispiellos in der Geschichte. Diese Kathastrophe, bei der weit mehr als die Hälfte der Passagiere den Tod fanden, hinterließ Fragen und Zweifel, aber auch ein Apell an Konstrukteure und Kapitäne. Denn wäre etwas weniger Größenwahn und Leichtsinn und mehr Vorsicht und Respekt vor dem Meer und seinen Tücken Antrieb für die Fahrt der Titanic gewesen, sie hätte Amerika planmäßig erreichen können. Das vorliegende Buch von Logan Marshall enthält spannende Geschichten über dieses Unglück wie auch weiterer Schiffsunglücke, welche ungemein packend und authentisch erzählt sind und somit bis heute interessantes Lesematerial darstellen. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine englischsprachige Ausgabe.

When she set sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York on April 10, 1912, RMS Titanic, the pride of the White Star fleet, was the largest ocean liner in the world. Deemed "practically unsinkable" because of her double-bottomed hull and watertight compartments, she carried more than 2,000 passengers and crew, although only sufficient lifeboats for just over half that number. Four days out of Southampton, on the night of April 14, she struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank within a matter of hours; 1,503 lives were lost. Logan Marshall interviewed the survivors in the immediate aftermath of the disaster and in this book he records the facts as they were known. Well established as part of the canon of Titanic literature, this book is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the ship and her sorrowful fate. Logan Marshall was the author of several books, including a study of the First World War, an account of the building of the Panama Canal, a collection of favorite fairy tales and a life of Theodore Roosevelt. In 'Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters' Logan Marshall interviewed the survivors in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Their raw testimonies fill the pages of this book with unflinching honesty and drama. It is well established in historical literary circles as "the must have book" in every Titanic enthusiast's library. "Logan Marshall, whose book, 'Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters' suggested that the term 'chivalry' was a 'mild appellation' for the 'conduct of the gentlemen' on board. 'Some of the vaunted knights of old were desperate cowards by comparison. A fight in the open field, or jousting in the tournament, did not call out manhood in a man as did the waiting till the great ship took the final plunge.'" -Frances Wilson, "How to Survive the Titanic, or The Sinking of J.
