TITANIC: A SURVIVOR’S STORY / THE SINKING OF THE S.S. TITANIC
Book ID/图书代码: 12580011B46249
English Summary/英文概要: Two eyewitness accounts in one book. This unique volume combines two survivors’ vivid accounts of the greatest maritime disaster in history: the sinking of the Titanic. The information contained in Col. Archibald Gracie’s TITANIC: A SURVIVOR’S STORY is available from no other source. He provides details of the final moments, including names of passengers pulled from the ocean, and descriptions of men who, in a panic, jumped into lifeboats as they were being lowered, endangering other passengers.
Walter Lord, author of A Night to Remember, comments that Gracie’s book – written shortly before he died from the exposure he suffered that night – is “invaluable for chasing who went down in what boat,” and calls Gracie “an indefatigable detective.”
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 兩個倖存者,一部記錄真實事件作品……
史上最大海上災難的兩位倖存者用生動的描述創作了這本曠世奇作—《沉入海底的泰坦尼克號》。阿奇博爾德.格雷西上校在《泰坦尼克號:一個倖存者的故事》中所提供的資訊絕對獨此一家。他對沉船的最後時刻做了詳盡的描述,包括從海水中救出的乘客的姓名,以及那些由於位置不斷下沉而驚慌失措的男人們紛紛湧上救生船,從而將他人置於危險的境地。
沃爾特.路德,《銘記的夜晚》一書的作者,在即將離世(路德死於焦慮症)的夜晚寫下這樣一段評價:“該書對於弄清那艘油輪死者將是十分珍貴的材料,”並稱格雷西為“一位不知疲憊的偵探。”(XMM)
Awards/获奖情况:From Library Journal With Titanic mania still gripping the country, especially its younger women, material on the doomed ship is in high demand. This volume combines accounts from two survivors of the disaster and is a good value for libraries.

About the Author/作者介绍: 1922年4月那個寒冷的夜晚,阿奇博爾德.格雷西上校在泰坦尼克號即將沉入海底的最後一刻逃離危難。作為一名倖存者,格雷西將對那艘豪華巨輪撞上冰上後所發生的一切提供最準確無誤的描述。
約翰.泰勒也是從冰冷的大西洋中死裡逃生。和格雷西一樣,他是17名順利在乘船之前逃離危難的乘客當中的一員。他所提供的記錄,也就是我們這本《沉入大海的泰坦尼克號》,詳細地記錄了當時所發生的一切。1940年,該書僅在作者家庭內部傳閱。此書之所以能夠問世要特別感謝作者的表兄—美國海岸警衛隊的上校Richard Fremont-Smith。
Colonel Archibald Gracie was among the last to leave the sinking Titanic on that cold April night in 1912. His is the most accurate contemporary account of what happened from the moment that the great liner hit the iceberg.
John Thayer also had a remarkable escape from death in the icy waters of the Atlantic. Only seventeen at the time he was, like Gracie, one of the last to leave the ship. His account, THE SINKING OF THE S.S. TITANIC, is meticulously detailed. It was privately published for members of his family in 1940. It is published here courtesy of Capt. Richard Fremont-Smith, USCG (Ret.), a cousin of the author.
