by Thomas Cornwall (Author)
On April 15th, 1912, the RMS Titanic slipped beneath the waters of the North Atlantic, taking 1500 people to their deaths. Only about 700 people survived, one of whom was 1st class passenger John B "Jack" Thayer Jr, who was on the ship till nearly the end, and then spent an unforgettable night, huddled on top of an overturned lifeboat waiting for rescue with over two dozen others. Although his mother survived, his father perished in the frigid waters.Jack described his experiences in various writings from 1912 to1940. For the first time, these are compiled into one volume, with footnotes and analysis, allowing us to witness his own experiences that night.
