The Loss of the S.S. Titanic: Its Story and Its Lessons

THE LOSS OF THE S.S. TITANIC is a personal memoir of TITANIC survivor Lawrence Beesley. Published just nine weeks after the disaster, Beesley's account was one of the first to reach print. Among his experiences, Beesley witnessed two second-class women being told to return to their deck, as lifeboats were awaiting them there.
