| Summary | "Sinking of the 'Titanic': Most Appalling Ocean Horror" by Jay Henry Mowbray, Ph.D., LL.D. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the harrowing tragedy of the Titanic's sinking, detailing the experiences of the passengers and crew during one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history. It delves into the themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the catastrophic failure of human pride in the face of nature's might. The opening portion of the text establishes a solemn tone as it reflects on the beauty and grandeur of the Titanic on its fateful maiden voyage. The narrative begins on the night of April 14, 1912, describing the peaceful atmosphere before the ship struck an iceberg, leading to its eventual sinking. It emphasizes the contrasting emotions of joy and impending doom felt by passengers who were blissfully unaware of the disaster that awaited them. The excerpt recounts the chaos that followed the collision, highlighting the actions of men who chose to sacrifice their safety to ensure women and children could escape, setting the stage for a rich exploration of human courage amid tragedy.
