The Sinking of the S.S. Titanic, April 14-15, 1912

Descripción

First edition, first printing. Number 303 of a limited 500 copies signed by John Thayer on the limitation page. Near Fine with light rubbing to spine and covers, small bit of paint to bottom cloth at edge, modest edge wear and faint toning to contents. An account by a survivor who was 17 at the time of the Titanic's sinking, and one of the 40 or so people who fell off or jumped into the water and was able to survive. His father, also named John, was not so lucky. Only 500 copies of this book were printed, privately, for family and friends. While not a commercial success, it did assist a later author in determining the exact location of the Titanic's demise, as well as in determining that the boat split in two before sinking, contradicting conventional wisdom. A very scarce Titanic item.
