The Loss of the S.S. Titanic is a historical account of the sinking of the famous ocean liner, written by survivor Lawrence Beesley. The book provides a detailed chronicle of the events leading up to the disaster, as well as the aftermath and the rescue efforts. Beesley gives a first-hand account of his experience aboard the Titanic and provides insight into the lives of the passengers and crew members. He also examines the possible reasons for the sinking, including the design flaws of the ship and the inadequate safety measures in place. The Loss of the S.S. Titanic is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of one of the most tragic maritime disasters in history.It is related that on the night of the disaster, right up to the time of the Titanic's sinking, while the band grouped outside the gymnasium doors played with such supreme courage in face of the water which rose foot by foot before their eyes, the instructor was on duty inside, with passengers on the bicycles and the rowing-machines, still assisting and encouraging to the last. Along with the bandsmen it is fitting that his name, which I do not think has yet been put on record--it is McCawley--should have a place in the honourable list of those who did their duty faithfully to the ship and the line they served.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
