Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters

by Logan Marshall

Overview

The Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters was written by a journalist called Logan Marshall soon after the disaster. The book is therefore based on interviews and eye-witness accounts soon after they were rescued and is a must read for anyone who is interested in this disaster. The book tells the stories of those who survived in the water or in life-boats until the arrival of the RHS Carpathia to rescue them, and then the tremendous welcome in New York City a few days later. This book is a new publication, but does not contain any of the pictures in the original.

Logan Marshall (born 18 November 1883), was the pen name of Logan Howard-Smith of Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Howard-Smith was the son of Robert Spurrier and Elizabeth (McKinney) Howard-Smith. The father was an executive of Link-Belt. Howard-Smith attended the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in 1905. Upon graduation he took a position as assistant editor at The John C. Winston Co., a publishing firm. Winston was later acquired by Henry Holt and became part of Holt, Rinehart & Winston. At Winston, Howard-Smith both edited and wrote a large number of books, mainly under the pen name Logan Marshall. These were often quickly produced and designed to satisfy public curiosity concerning a current event. As a result, Howard-Smith has been characterized as a "hack", and his language criticized as "strained, excessive, or melodramatic." Howard-Smith's (as Logan Marshall) The Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters, however, achieved a great deal of fame as a result of being quickly at the market, and continues to be cited in bibliographies about the incident. Logan Howard-Smith married Amelia Sparks Douglas on 22 April 1917. He died at age 53 on 22 September 1937 and is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, Section J, Plot 182 & 184 N Part.
