Mainers on the Titanic traces the stories of passengers on that fateful ship who had ties to Maine. Many of them were wealthy summer visitors to Bar Harbor, but there were other residents of state aboard as well. Their tales are retold, along with what was occurring in the state at the time. Meticulously researched, this book reveals the agonizing day-to-day wait of Mainers for news of what really happened and tells the stories of Maine passengers from their boarding to the sinking and rescue, and, for those who survived, of their final coming ashore in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It''s a unique and fascinating addition to the Titanic story.
Industry Reviews
Until I read Mainers on the Titanic, I had no idea of the scope of that tragedy or how it impacted our state. Mac Smith of Stockton Springs brings it home, in a very compelling way. I was captivated – and astonished.
Published this year by Down East Books, this is no dull history. Mac’s book includes everything from various newspapers’ accounts to poems written by survivors and others. It’s not a long book, just 200 pages, but Mainers on the Titanic is a story you will never forget.
