BRUCE ISMAY PDF Frances Wilson | 352 pages | 14 Mar 2012 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781408828151 | English | London, United Kingdom The Life of Bruce Ismay After Titanic’s Sinking – Part Two How to Survive the Titanic. Or The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay Frances Wilson, Bloomsbury. Frances Wilson invokes Herman Melville to compare Ismay to Captain Ahab and even to Noah in this often ludicrous bookbut predominantly plumps for Joseph Conrad in her meditation on the life - and the elemental living - of this single individual, in whom is seemingly forever embarked the fate of fifteen hundred. The first syllable asserts enduring existence, the second an implication of twin alternatives. Ismay lived, and his reputation died. Had he not entered collapsible C it is scarcely imaginable that anyone would have branded him a coward. Instead mere mortality would have conferred its very opposite, in the palpable vein of an Isidor Straus or any other drowned potentate of the merchant classes. But such is a preserved-in-amber afterlife. With Ismay, though he now be dead, we can still poke the wounds. And so Wilson, as sanguinary soothsayer, enters into her very own launch — because this is a commercial voyage, complete with the richly absurd sales claim that Ismay fell in love with a married passenger on the maiden voyage. He did no such thing. It is as well that this work is largely a meditation — albeit with some interesting photographs and detail provided by the Cheape family — as the author seems only rudimentarily acquainted with the Titanic story. Indeed in many respects her escapist craft leaks like a sieve. The reverse jacket illustration claims to show collapsible C, whereas it is a well- known image of D. That How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay is repeated in the caption to a How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay inside — a pretty gruesome error when it concerns the lifeboat in which your literary subject was saved. D for dunce? Bull of the highest order! Anglo-Saxon passenger and other names are misspelt. Filson Young is described as an Irish journalist, the cork of lifejackets was apparently spread over where the ship went down it was insulating refrigeration corkand the author repeatedly claims that the deck was awash when collapsible C launched, yet also includes occupant accounts about the long descent to the sea, pushing the strakes off from the rivets along the side, and even avoiding the low pump-water jets. She sees no contradiction in any of this, or in the many more instances that might be cited, and is evidently a scatterbrain in both style and substance. He is one of us. The expectations of class station and honour do not exist to the same standard today, because elevations have been torn down. Ismay was vilified inyet recently another marine disaster gave rise to useful modern comparison not mentioned in these pages. Anger had its arrow point, and Hayward resigned. How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay his momentary personal reflection is understandable. Nobody went so far as to genuinely suggest that honour dictated that he should have been suffused in the surf like an oil-suffocated seabird. And should he now live out his life in endless self-recrimination? It would be an extreme response to answer in the affirmative. Those who fled were the smart ones, yet such nonsense gained traction. O tempora, o mores! The higher the class, the higher the bar, such that newspapers extolled sacrifice, even to needless and thus counter- productive levels. Thus the outrage was never really about Ismay personally. Had he died, the fickle finger of fate would have moved on to the next highest ranking, most especially if British. But Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon was only ever spattered with modest mud…. Ismay probably recognised cant for what it was. He had been through a fiercely searing experience in which his perspectives must have been instantly righted. Ismay insisted in evidence that he searched his own conscience, and found it clear. But the evidence is that he just got on with it as best he could, not that he was not immensely scarred by what he had undergone, in common with all others to escape. If Ismay in his soul-searching etched in letters subsequently written to Marian Thayer and discussed by the How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay had absolved himself of responsibility, who are we to thrust it back upon him? But Wilson rehashes apocryphal guff about Ismay booking two seats when going to the theatre — one for his hat and coat. But what about his other side? Why not book three seats, one each for the hat and coat, if a sociophobe? How attend at all for that matter? Too much indulgence is paid to such drivel. There are a lot of literary excursions in this book, which are diverting in every sense. Ah but she does cite Freud! Wells, Henry James, D. Lawrence, E. It would be unkind to say that Ismay gratefully slips into the background, away from such a delirium of the socially celebrated, but the truth is that this book is about the idea of him, rather than the reality. And that suits the author, who inveighs against armchair judges, because philosophising and name-dropping can be a soft option. Yes, perhaps it is a pleasant-enough boat trip in a harmlessly opposite direction. Two stars. Information about How to Survive the Titanic. Bruce Ismay PDF.

Bruce Ismay At 6ft 4in, Ismay towered over the other survivors sitting on the boards, most of them Lebanese women and children, none of whom had any idea who he was. Thirty minutes later, those few who had been allocated places in the half-empty boats now rowing away from the sinking ship watched, mesmerised, as the she turned on her nose and made her final plunge, taking with her 1, people. Ismay, however, with his back to the scene, kept his eyes fixed on the distance. He said he had been helping with the rowing, but this seems unlikely: not only was he facing the wrong way, but he was in no state to do anything physical. When he left the sinking ship, Ismay stepped into a bottomless well. On board the Carpathia, while other survivors slept on dining room tables, Ismay insisted on a private cabin. Here, he spent the next four days under an opiate. Meanwhile, stories about his conduct began to circulate among the widows on board. In his public testimony, Ismay said that he jumped from the Titanic of his own volition, leaving behind him an empty ship. The mystery of his actions intensified when Emily Ryerson, a first-class passenger — returning to New York for the funeral of her son and now also burying her husband — revealed that she and her friend, Marian Thayer, had met Ismay on deck on the fatal day and been shown How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay him an ice warning. Instead, they would be speeding up. The news of an ice warning came as a shock. It is no exaggeration to say that men who went through all the experiences of the collision and the rescue… with hardly a tremor, were quite overcome by the knowledge and turned away, unable to speak. The only person to stand up for Ismay was Mrs Thayer, whose husband had also died that night. It seems that Ismay, who had met Mrs Thayer during the voyage, had fallen in love with her. He leaves his ship to sink with its powerless cargo of lives and does not care to lift his eyes. He crawls through unspeakable disgrace to his own safety. Why litter the deck, Ismay is said to have argued, when the ship is How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay a lifeboat? Within hours of landing in New York, Ismay was called as the first How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay at the hastily convened US Senate inquiry into the tragedy. Barely able to speak — Ismay had never made a public statement in his life — he described himself as a passenger and not a member of the crew, and thus justified in saving his own life. He knew, he said, nothing about navigation, but witness after witness described how he had behaved on board with the authority befitting a captain. Returning How to Survive the Titanic or the Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay England following the US inquiry, Ismay was a broken man. His nightmares woke the house, he received hate mail, an old friend turned him away from the front door. Other survivors published accounts of the night or told their stories to journalists. Putting together a narrative made some sense of it all, but apart from insisting that he had jumped from an empty ship, Ismay said nothing, in public or in private, about his experience. The horror and chaos remained unarticulated horror and chaos. What an ending to my life. Perhaps I was too proud of my ships and this is my punishment.

  • “R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W
    “R.M.S. Titanic” Hanson W. Baldwin I The White Star liner Titanic, largest ship the world had ever known, sailed from Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York on April 10, 1912. The paint on her strakes was fair and bright; she was fresh from Harland and Wolff’s Belfast yards, strong in the strength of her forty-six thousand tons of steel, bent, hammered, shaped, and riveted through the three years of her slow birth. There was little fuss and fanfare at her sailing; her sister ship, the Olympic—slightly smaller than the Titanic— had been in service for some months and to her had gone the thunder of the cheers. But the Titanic needed no whistling steamers or shouting crowds to call attention to her superlative qualities. Her bulk dwarfed the ships near her as longshoremen singled up her mooring lines and cast off the turns of heavy rope from the dock bollards. She was not only the largest ship afloat, but was believed to be the safest. Carlisle, her builder, had given her double bottoms and had divided her hull into sixteen watertight compartments, which made her, men thought, unsinkable. She had been built to be and had been described as a gigantic lifeboat. Her designers’ dreams of a triple-screw giant, a luxurious, floating hotel, which could speed to New York at twenty-three knots, had been carefully translated from blueprints and mold loft lines at the Belfast yards into a living reality. The Titanic’s sailing from Southampton, though quiet, was not wholly uneventful.

  • 1 Titanic, the Real Cause of Its Sinking and Hidden Stories 1: a Century Has Sailed by Since the Luxury Steamship RMS Titanic Me
    Titanic, the real cause of its sinking and hidden stories 1: A century has sailed by since the luxury steamship RMS Titanic met its catastrophic end in the North Atlantic, plunging two miles to the ocean floor after sideswiping an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Rather than the intended Port of New York, a deep-sea grave became the pride of the White Star Line’s final destination in the early hours of April 15, 1912. 2: The Royal Mail Steamer Titanic was the product of intense competition among rival shipping lines in the first half of the 20th century. In particular, the White Star Line found itself in a battle for steamship primacy with Cunard, a venerable British firm with two standout ships that ranked among the most sophisticated and luxurious of their time. 3: The same year that Cunard unveiled its two magnificent liners, J. Bruce Ismay, chief executive of White Star, discussed the construction of three large ships with William J. Pirrie, chairman of the Belfast-based shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff. Part of a new “Olympic” class of liners, they would each measure 882 feet in length and 92.5 feet at their broadest point, making them the largest of their time. 4: Titanic’s Fatal Flaws According to some hypotheses, Titanic was doomed from the start by the design so many applauded as the most sophisticated art. The Olympic-class ships featured a double bottom and 15 watertight bulkheads equipped with electric watertight doors which could be operated individually or simultaneously by a switch on the bridge.

  • Observations Onboard the Titanic
    OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC www.oldepaths.com OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC While there are many things that Belfast has been famous for in her long and rich history, the craft of shipbuilding has probably headed that list. Out of all the vessels that have slid down the slipways in Belfast, the most famous was undoubtedly the R.M.S. Titanic. This was of course due to what occurred on that fateful night 14th April 1912 when she sank on her maiden voyage. The sinking of the Titanic is one of those events in history that even though it happened over a hundred years ago, it is still much talked about and debated to this day. The reason for this is that the tragic story of the Titanic is an event that stands out from all the rest as a landmark event. Not just was this a tragic event that generated great sadness, but one that was a great surprise. It was inconceivable that such a thing could ever happen. The sure horror of the sinking was what made it stand out, not unlike the horrific events that unfolded on 9/11 of this generation. In order to relate to the impact that the news of the sinking of the Titanic brought we should think of the events on 9/11 when we watched the live television footage; this is of similar magnitude to what the world witnessed as news of the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic “sunk” in. The Titanic, along with 2,224 passengers and crew (the exact number is actually disputed as some who had booked to travel failed to turn up and there were believed to be a WWW.OLDEPATHS.COMWWW Page 2 OBSERVATIONS ONBOARD THE TITANIC number of stowaways), left Southampton with 75,000 pounds of flesh-meat, 40,000 eggs, 1,500 gallons of fresh milk and 40 tons of potatoes.

  • Howtosurvivethetitanic 9780062
    A Q&A with Frances Wilson, author of HOW TO SURVIVE THE TITANIC, OR THE SINKING OF J. BRUCE ISMAY (Harper/HarperCollins Publishers; on-sale: October 11, 2011) Q.: How did the idea for your book originate? A. The book began as a short piece I was asked to submit to a newly formed publishing house called Notting Hill Editions, who specialize in 30,000 essays. At that point my subject was the survivors’ responses to the Titanic as she went down – how mesmerized by her beauty everyone was, despite the fact that it represented the death of their husbands, fathers, sons, and the loss of everything they owned. J. Bruce Ismay, the chairman and managing director of the White Star Line of steamships and the owner of the Titanic, was the only one in the lifeboats not to watch as the ship went down, and I was struck by the man who kept his back to the scene and reminded of the many myths and tales in which characters are told not to look behind them or something bad will happen. I then became interested in the idea of having an experience which cannot be turned into a narrative, which is too overwhelming to be absorbed into consciousness. At this point I realized that I was not writing an essay, but something bigger – closer to a case study, although even then I wasn’t entirely sure, until Conrad came into the picture, what sort of book was emerging. Q.: Your book is the only history of the Titanic that focuses on J.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 20, 2011, Designation List 450 LP-2474 R. H. MACY & CO. STORE, 14TH STREET ANNEX, 56 West 14th Street, Manhattan. Built 1897; [William] Schickel & [Isaac E.] Ditmars, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 577, Lot 12. On July 12, 2011, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the R.H. Macy & Co. Store, 14th Street Annex and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Manhattan Community Board 2, Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, and Historic Districts Council. Summary Located near the intersection of 14th Street and Sixth Avenue in the midst of New York City’s then-primary retail shopping district, Ladies’ Mile, the R.H. Macy & Co. Store, 14th Street Annex was the last phase in the expansion of the complex – including older remodeled structures and several purpose-built annexes – occupied by the famous department store during its 44-year tenure at this location. Founded in 1858 by Rowland H. Macy as a fancy goods store, Macy’s became known for innovative retailing strategies and emerged as a full-service department store, one of the city’s largest. After R.H. Macy’s death in 1877, and the acquisition of controlling interest in the business in 1888 by brothers Nathan and Isidor Straus (who had operated a china and glassware department here since 1874) and sole proprietorship in 1896, the Strauses hired the firm of the prominent New York City architect William Schickel, well known within the German-American community, for a number of commissions.
