survivor United Kingdom

Colonel Archibald Gracie was a prominent survivor of the Titanic disaster, known for his first-hand account of the tragic sinking on April 15, 1912. He was a wealthy American businessman and author who had boarded the ship as a first-class passenger. Gracie was notable for his efforts during the disaster, helping women and children into lifeboats and later managing to survive by clinging to an overturned lifeboat. His detailed recollections of the event were later published in his book 'The Truth About the Titanic,' which remains a significant historical document.
