1912réf. 7159Washington DC: Government Printing Office for the U.S. Senate 1912. First Edition. Hardcover in custom clamshell case. Very Good/Clamshell case Fine.

I did not realize it the whole time even to the last moment . I would never believe such a thing could happen." The US Senate investigation convened over 18 days with 86 witnesses informing the record at-hand. Among them Bruce Ismay the Managing Director of the White Star Line; Second Officer Charles Lightoller who figures prominently in the Walter Lord bestseller A Night to Remember Guglielmo Marconi inventor and electrical engineer whose name was synonymous with radio wave-based wireless system telegraphy and whose company provided wireless service for both the Titanic and the Carpathia the ship that responded to the Titanic's distress signal and Captain Arthur Rostron of the Carpathia among many surviving passengers and crew. The colossal meeting of hubris poor navigation and exceptionally bad timing resulted in a disaster that reverberates ad infinitum. Books on the subject continue to pour forth running perhaps fourth behind Jesus Napoleon and the Civil War as fodder for speculation fresh insight and metaphorical discourse.

1912réf. 101999Newspaper large folded newsprint sheets some ad illustration 12 pp. Probably removed paper is browned and brittle but mostly intact some small tears and chips at extremities pages partially split at center fold small hole in page of one article with loss of a letter or two paper name label on front page covering a letter or two of the lead Titanic article rubber stamp in upper right corner not affecting text front page indicates 22 pages but there are only 12 with this paper but it appears complete and all the Titanic articles are in these pages. While published about five days after the Titanic disaster this paper is full of articles on the sinking. The lead article provides details on testimony of second officer Lightoller which he gave to the American Congressional inquiry. However there are many articles on the subject and some of which appear to be the start of various Titanic legends and myths. A widowed woman tells how the men of the Titanic were "needlessly sacrificed and how she saw some men dressed as women to get into life boats. While the captain is praised for going down with the ship another article has American Senator Raymond denouncing White Star Managing Director Bruce Ismay who was CEO of the company as a coward he survived by getting into one of the boats and the person who risked lives for speed. Another article praises Col. John Jacob Astor who helped save a boy’s life by getting him on a boat when he was refused by a member of the crew there is also a story of how wireless operator Philips was pulled from the sea but died in a lifeboat. There is also one of the first reports about how first officer William Murdock shot a passenger aand than turned the gun on himself. The rescue by the Carpathia is covered and a strange comment on how some Chinese Coolies survived by hiding under lifeboat seats. books

2018ill., br. Nella notte fra il 14 e il 15 aprile 1912, al suo viaggio inaugurale, il transatlantico Titanic colò a picco dopo la collisione contro un iceberg al largo delle coste di Terranova. Oltre 1500 persone morirono, poco più di 700 si salvarono in una delle tragiche storie del mare che più di altre continua a destare interrogativi e a coinvolgere il pubblico. Questo libro narra la storia della nave, del suo equipaggio, dei suoi passeggeri in un affresco dettagliato e fa luce su molti aspetti di una vicenda il cui interesse non è mai stato completamente sopito.
2019ill., br. "Il picasass sopravvissuto al Titanic" e la lunga storia della vita di Emilio Portaluppi, scultore e architetto, nato ad Arcisate, americano d'adozione. Una biografia che e quasi un romanzo storico, con molta attenzione ai dettagli. Una storia che va ben oltre le avventure del protagonista e comprende le ampie vicende dell'emigrazione, del lavoro e della società tra Ottocento e Novecento. Una vicenda avvincente e struggente che trasmette emozioni.
2012br. La notte tra il 14 e il 15 aprile 1912, durante il quinto giorno del viaggio inaugurale, il Titanic strisciava contro un iceberg con la fiancata destra. Meno di duecento minuti dopo si spezzava e scompariva nell'oceano immobile. In quel momento iniziava il mito del Titanic, "La Nave" che ha sfondato i confini dell'immaginario, simbolo perpetuo della fallibilità della tecnica sostenuta dal delirio di onnipotenza degli uomini. Il gioiello della White Star Line si è inabissato portando con sé circa millecinquecento persone e le loro storie. Una tragedia mondiale, quasi un prologo delle catastrofi che di lì a poco avrebbero travolto il mondo. Una matassa di reticenze e menzogne ha coperto i responsabili della catena implacabile: errori, omissioni, incuria e negligenze che hanno provocato il disastro destinato a essere il manifesto e il simbolo del Novecento. Ogni frammento della vicenda viene ricostruito con un rigore storico inappuntabile e con uno stile incalzante come un romanzo. Del Titanic si sa "quasi" tutto, ma quella che riemerge da queste pagine è "un'altra storia" dove il dio denaro e il potere commerciale sui mari si intrecciano con la miseria e la frenesia dei mass media. E il dolore con l'amore, l'indifferenza, l'eroismo, la viltà. Sulla "Nave" c'erano il passato e il futuro del secolo breve. Una metafora eterna del nostro tempo.
2012ill., ril. La fine è nota. L'impatto del Titanic con l'iceberg è però soltanto il punto geometrico in cui convergono innumerevoli traiettorie, forze, vite: non tutte altrettanto celebrate, anzi alcune decisamente poco note, quando non misteriose. Capitani di industria ed ereditiere, disperati in fuga dai loro paesi e piccoli bottegai in cerca di fortuna; ladri, truffatori e anche un rapitore di bambini; artisti e scrittori insieme a contadini analfabeti che non avevano mai visto il mare; amori e tradimenti, relazioni fugaci o passioni travolgenti: sono le particelle elementari di cui è composta la Storia, atomi che quando vengono guardati da vicino hanno la sconfinata vastità della vita. E ci sono le grandi forze collettive che plasmano il mondo. Ad esempio le migrazioni che, proprio grazie ai transatlantici, iniziavano a divenire veramente globali. O le altrettanto globali speculazioni finanziarie: lo stesso Titanic in un certo senso, era il prodotto di una bolla speculativa. Il Titanic - la storia di chi l'ha progettato e di chi vi ha viaggiato - conserva lo stesso fascino di certi romanzi storici o enciclopedie: l'ambizione di contenere al proprio interno un'intera civiltà. Un mondo lontano un secolo eppure sorprendentemente simile al nostro. È anche per questo che l'affondamento del Titanic non smette di ossessionarci e di raccontarci la sua storia di ambizione e arroganza, di lusso e ingiustizia, di viltà e coraggio.
1900Roy. 8vo., Second and Best Edition, with portrait frontispiece, title in red and black, and 21 plates (one double-page); original buckram gilt, gilt back, bevelled edges, uncut, covers lightly age-marked else a very good, internally spotless copy. King's work, first published in 1879, immediately established itself as the standard popular reference on the ancient New Forest town; local interest generated the inevitable additions and corrections, but the planned second edition, incorporating the numerous addenda, was deferred by the author's death. This best edition, compiled and published by the author's son from his father's meticulous notes, benefits from much new material and many fresh illustrations. This copy was formerly in the library of Professor [Sir] J H Biles, the eminent naval architect [of 'Titanic' Enquiry fame], and bears his elegant blind-embossed art nouveau bookplate (with press-mark in manuscript) on front paste-down. John Harvard Biles (1854-1933) was apprenticed at Portsmouth Dockyard, studied at the Royal School of Naval Architecture and joined the Admiralty in 1877. His talents were quickly recognised and in 1880 (at the age of only 26) he was appointed chief designer to the major shipbuilder J&G Thomson on Clydebank where he created the revolutionary designs for the 'City of Paris' and 'City of New York'. In 1883 he left to join the foundling consultancy established by Sir Edward Reed, where he quickly became a driving force (the consultancy continues to the present day as Sir J H Biles & Co.). In 1891 he was awarded the Chair of Naval Architecture at Glasgow University (then perhaps the most prestigious such appointment in the world) where he devoted himself to teaching and consultancy on a world-wide scale. IN VIEW OF HIS EMINENCE IN THE FIELD OF SHIP DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, PROFESSOR BILES WAS AN ASSESSOR IN THE ENQUIRY INTO THE LOSS OF RMS 'TITANIC' AND SUBSEQUENTLY HE SERVED ON THE BOARD OF TRADE ENQUIRY INTO LIFEBOATS AND LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES WHICH AROSE AS A RESULT OF THE TITANIC LOSS. For his services to the 'Titanic' Enquiry and naval architecture in general, Biles was knighted in 1913
