Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An in-depth insight into the man at the heart of the world's most infamous maritime disaster. Following the Titanic disaster, Bruce Ismay was savaged by both the British and American press for deserting the ship while women and children were still on board. Some papers called him the 'Coward of the Titanic' or 'J. Brute Ismay', and suggested the White Star flag be changed to a 'yellow liver'. History has portrayed Bruce Ismay as a cold, heartless character who showed little compassion for others. Clifford Ismay's new book explores the life and motives of this misunderstood man, delving into family letters and diaries, and revisiting the public enquiries, to reveal a shy, compassionate man, who walked Titanic's boat deck for over two hours, assisting with preparing and loading the lifeboats before finding a spare seat in the last lifeboat to be successfully lowered from the starboard side, and who possibly suffered with post-traumatic stress for the rest of his life. AUTHOR: Clifford Ismay is 5th cousin to Bruce Ismay. He is currently engaged as director of Maryport Maritime Museum. Until the death of its founder he was privileged to have been Governor and Northern England representative for the Titanic Heritage Trust, and is a member of the British Titanic Society. He has appeared in many Titanic documentaries and been interviewed for television and radio news, and given a number of talks on the subject. He lives in Cumbria. 47 b/w illustrations An insight into the man at the heart of the worlds most infamous maritime disaster Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
