    FREE HOW TO SURVIVE THE TITANIC OR THE SINKING OF J. 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.

  • It Was a Shock to Everyone, Something No One Could Have Believed
    The Arrival That Never Took Place, Page 1 ©2005 by J. Kent Layton The Arrival That Never Took Place… A Monograph by J. Kent Layton ©2005 J. Kent Layton Atlantic Liners www.atlanticliners.com The Arrival That Never Took Place, Page 2 ©2005 by J. Kent Layton The Arrival That Never Took Place… It was a shock to everyone… it was something no one could have believed possible. After months of planning, expectation, anticipation and intensive labors at the Belfast shipyards of Harland & Wolff, the Titanic – the largest steamer in the world – had departed on her maiden voyage and promptly sunk. In an era when technological breakthroughs were viewed as a basis for confidence in man’s forward progress on all levels, the greatest technological wonder of the age had sunk in less than three hours, after running afoul of a simple piece of ice. More stunning than any technological or monetary loss, roughly two-thirds of her passengers and crew had gone to the bottom with her. The public was outraged, as well as afraid. Something had obviously gone very wrong, many questions had been raised, and answers had to follow poste haste. The Captain of the ship had gone down with her. However, some of her officers, not to mention the Managing Director of the White Star Line, Joseph Bruce Ismay, had survived, and they would all face some serious questions. This was especially true of Bruce Ismay, son of the Line’s founder. Whereas the ship’s senior officers had stayed aboard until the last possible moment, fighting to save others, Ismay had boarded a lifeboat and had escaped the sinking without even getting his feet wet.

  • Le Comportement D'ismay
    Le comportement d’Ismay. Philippe Chevalier. Le comportement de J. Bruce Ismay à bord du Titanic a fait polémique. La principale accusation portée à son égard est qu’il ait survécu, alors que quinze cents personnes ont perdu la vie dans le naufrage. D’un point de vue moral, c’est une abomination. Mais peut-on, cent ans plus tard, porter le même regard qu’à l’époque ? A-t-on le droit de juger de la vie d’autrui ? A-t-on le droit de dire qu’il aurait dû mourir ? Personnellement, je n’ai pas de réponse. Retenu par l’Histoire. Le film Titanic, de James Cameron, montre l’armateur voulant faire augmenter la vitesse du navire. Il désire que le voyage inaugural du Titanic fasse les gros titres de la presse. Le capitaine Smith est réticent, ne voulant pas pousser les moteurs tant qu’ils ne sont pas rodés. L’armateur, se déclarant simple passager, lui propose néanmoins une glorieuse fin de carrière en créant la surprise générale en arrivant le mardi soir1. Dans le film Titanic, d’Herbert Selpin et Werner Klinger, à mille lieues de la réalité, c’est par cupidité et esprit de lucre que l’armateur pousse le Joseph Bruce Ismay (1862-1937). capitaine Smith à battre le record de vitesse2. simple passager pour prendre place dans une La bande dessinée Titanic, de Richard Nolane et 6 Patrick Dumas, présente l’armateur comme un embarcation de sauvetage . homme sournois, proposant de décrocher le ruban Néanmoins, tout le monde ne le pointe pas d’un Bleu3.

  • Titanic's Band
    www.encyclopedia-titanica.org This article is copyright Encyclopedia Titanica and its licensors © 2004 It may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form without permission. Titanic’s Band: Killing Them Softly by Senan Molony MUSIC hath charms to soothe the savage breast… but sometimes a savage breast, in one aroused to action, is just what’s needed. The playing of music on the boat deck of the RMS Titanic contributed to the death toll in that disaster. Bandmaster Wallace Hartley is the unwitting author of needless extra fatalities. While celebrated for nearly a century for their undoubted gallantry, any rounded assessment of the actions of the band that night should be tempered by the realisation that their playing had subtle psychological effects that encouraged at least some passengers to choose death instead of life. The strains of classical music early in proceedings conveyed the message that everything was as near normal as could be. Every wafting note spoke sweetly that the emergency was not what is was – an emergency - but instead a temporary inconvenience. The playing of the band ran directly counter to the entreaties of officers and crew that women and children should enter the boats. As such, whoever asked for or instigated the music made a terrible mistake. Classical music in particular has a comforting, relaxing effect – which is why it is increasingly to be heard in dentists’ and doctors’ waiting rooms. But it also creates a mood of conviviality, of unity, of optimism. Conviviality meant staying with the crowd; optimism meant safety in numbers; unity meant preferring the majority.

  • CHRONOLOGY of EVENTS with REFERENCES and NOTES Revised: 07 July 2018
    CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS WITH REFERENCES AND NOTES Revised: 07 July 2018 This chronology reflects the order of events pertaining to the maiden voyage of Titanic. It is the most comprehensive and extensively referenced chronology of Titanic’s maiden voyage ever assembled, and first appeared in: Samuel Halpern, et al., Report Into the Loss of the SS Titanic – A Centennial Reappraisal, The History Press, 2011. It is primarily based upon evidence that comes from survivor accounts as given in sworn testimony, affidavits, letters, and other credible sources. The sources for the events included in this chronology are listed alongside each set grouped under a specified time. There is also a set of notes that explain how certain event times were derived, or offer additional pertinent information. In some cases, reference is made to specific articles and other publications where more details and in-depth explanations can be found. For most of the wireless messages shown, reliance was heavily placed on primary sources such as wireless logs or wireless station office forms that are available, rather than using some previously compiled list. In all cases, we have tried to insure the relative accuracy of event sequences. However, the accuracy of event times themselves cannot be guaranteed. The reader must understand that actual clock times were only known for a relatively few events where someone took the time off of a clock or a watch. Even for the times associated with wireless messages, where messages were recorded using a standard time reference such as New York time or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), we find variances in the reported times put down by different operators describing the same communication.
