Awakened by the shuddering of a huge iceberg puncturing the side of the ship, Colonel Archibald Gracie was quickly dressed and on deck to see the aftermath of what was to become the most famous collision in history. The night of 14 April 1912 had seen him go to bed early in his first-class cabin abroad the world's most luxurious ship, but by morning he was standing atop an overturned lifeboat awaiting rescue from the frozen North Atlantic. The night's exertions were to have a hug effect on him and he sat down to write the story of the tragic events soon after he was back on dry land, completing the task in the autumn of 1912. Telling the story of the last few hours of the sinking ship, and his miraculous escape as she plummeted to the ocean floor 14,000 ft below, Gracie's book is recognised as simply the best account of the disaster. He died in December 1912 before the proofs were completed, but The Illustrated Truth about the Titanic remains today, however, the most accurate of all the eyewitness accounts recounting Gracie's own story as well as that of each of the lifeboats as they left the doomed Titanic.
