survivor accounts

I am interested in compiling a digital archive of any sound recordings of any Titanic survivor's recollections, opinions and any other Titanic related information. Digital copies of radio broadcasts, 78rpm records and speeches are sought. Web links or information leading to other collections...

Do you think at this late date of 2008, that there is somewhere stashed away in some old trunk, some drawer, or whatever, any unpublished accounts of a Titanic survivor?

Both Archibald Gracie and Lawrence Beesley seem to get the spotlight in regards to being the 'definative' passenger/survivor's accounts of the Titanic disaster- Are there any survivor's accounts that for some curious reason have been overshadowed, overlooked or neglected by the Titanic...

Hey guys, Any ideas which survivor's accounts appear to agree with our best understandings of the technical aspects of the sinking today? It's amazing how many people witnessing the same event can give such varying accounts of what transpired. I've seen this happen in day to day events, I...

Maybe this has been done already, but I should very much like to see a comprehensive volume of first person accounts by survivors only (other than Bride, Beesley etc.) There is so much information on ET alone that surely some of this could be collated and published? I get very tired of...

Hello! I have a book called 'The sinking of the Titanic eyewitnesses accounts' which states it was 1st published in 1912. Can anyone give more info on this book? Does it deserve credit in terms of the tales of witnesses being truly true? Nuno

When reading about any shipwreck, i prefer reading first person accounts- Id much rather read the account of someone who was there, over the account of an author who was born decades after the disaster occoured. Thus for Titanic books, the Thayer,Gracie,Beesley,Lightoller and US and Brit...

Hi All - I have looked through the topics to see if this was already asked and answered but I didn't have much luck finding anything. Have there been any books or articles written from Third Class Survivors accounts of the disaster? I think it would be intersting to know what they thought...

I would like to start a list of qutes and recollections of the Titanic's passengers. Please add on whatever you may know.

Naurally most of the accounts from surviors were from the perspective of being on the boat deck, or in the lifeboats. I have been trying to assemble accounts by survivors who witnessed the flooding deep within the ship. Any votes for the most interesting accounts? My picks are: *Officer...

Here is the full account of Mrs. Astor's experiences in the Titanic sinking as they were related to family members and then reported to the press. This is from an unidentified, undated clipping from a New York newspaper, probably the New York Herald or American, of about April 22-25, 1912...

Hi! Does anyone know where I can find Mrs Harris and Mrs Crosby accounts of the disaster, and Lady Duff Gordon memoirs? I have already seen some bits of Lady Duff memoirs but I can not find exactly where I see it. Best regards, Charles
