"Titanic was on fire before it hit iceberg! Shortly after the Titanic sank on the morning of April 15, 1912, author Logan Marshal compiled a history of the tragic event. His narrative reads like a novel, yet every word is true. Today, Marshall's work, published within weeks of the ship's demise, will help to dispel many of the myths which hve surrounded the sinking of the Titanic. Myth: The Titanic was safest when it left port. Reality: The ship was on fire from the very moment it left Southamption. Not a tiny blaze, but a roaring inferno that probably contributed to the disaster. Myth: All the men patiently stood by and let the women and children enter the few lifeboats. Reality: Men were shot on deck as they attempted to board the lifeboats and save their lives." - from the rear outer cover. Signed by Author(s).

4pp., 4to. On three leaves. In fair condition, aged and creased. The poem, headed 'Titanic', is 64 lines long, divided into 15 stanzas (the first ten numbered), and is signed and dated at the end, following 'R.I.P.', 'William Hall | May 1912'. The verse is heartfelt and devout, in style something of a cross between Walt Whitman and William McGonagall. Apparently unpublished. The author is unknown, but the poem reflects the popular response to the celebrated maritime disaster. The four stanzas on the first page read: 'T'was [sic] the eve of the Day of Rest | That the mighty Leviathan | Plowed her way through the Ocean's | Sleeping breast. || Lis't [sic] to the throb of her stately tread | Mark her proportions | From anchor to lofty head | Its harmony sublime || True to her name Titanic, = the vast | Immensity with triumphant symmetry bold | Tis like the pondrous Greeks sculptured cast | This though is silent, this energy untold. || Her maiden voyage! | See how she sweeps along | Joyful and free but alas alas, | The retreating waves echo | Alpha and Omega = | The first and the last.' The poem continues through the remaining eleven stanzas, with references to 'Gloomy forebodings' and 'silent heroism'. The Titanic's captain is envisioned as a 'noble figure on yonder sloping bridge', 'As the hymn "Nearer my God to thee" | Wafts its kindly benediction from below.' Final stanza: 'So do not mourn nor fret their loss, | They are in His Presence & tender care | Rather learn from the Vast never mind what it costs | That in our life the Eternal God must have a share'.

Two fine volumes owned by the infamous chairman and director of the White Star Line, Joseph Bruce Ismay who failed to provide sufficient lifeboats for the Titanic but managed to survive the 1912 sinking of the company's flagship when he boarded one of the last to be launched from the doomed liner. Appropriately enough for copies owned by a transatlantic shipping magnate this edition is a joint publication between J M Dent in London and Little Brown in New York. Bound in fine green cloth with gilt decoration and fleur de lys to the spine, top edge gilt; leafy endpapers on which is Bruce Ismay's armorial bookplate in both volumes. Slight cracking to paper over inner hinge of Vol I and a very little spine lean. Otherwise both volumes are near fine, illustrations all present and both bindings bright and in excellent condition. JOSEPH BRUCE ISMAY (1862-1937) was the son of the founder of the White Star Line, Thomas Ismay, who toured the world after serving his apprenticeship with the family firm, living in New York City in the late 1880s where he married Julia Florence Schieffelin, daughter of a New York lawyer. After succeeding his father as Chairman of the White Star Line Ismay commissioned the two luxurious Olympic class liners, RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic. After the Titanic collided with an iceberg on 14 April 1912 and it became clear that it would sink before rescue ships could arrive, Ismay stepped aboard Collapsible C which was launched 20 minutes before the ship went down, to be rescued by the Carpathia 3-4 hours later. After the disaster he was savaged by both the American and the British press and withdrew from public life to avoid the criticism which was levelled at him for his misjudgement about the Titanic's lifeboats and his personal behaviour on board the Titanic. In the many subsequent films about Titanic he is depicted in an unfavourable light or almost as a villain, from the German propaganda film Titanic (1943) via James Cameron's Titanic to Julian Fellowes' 2012 miniseries. PROVENANCE: The bookplates have been authenticated as the 1902 version of Bruce Ismay's bookplate by a representative of the Bookplate Society. The book was acquired in the north west of England - Ismay was born in Crosby, Lancashire. Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
