DUSK TO DAWN

Survivor Accounts Of The Last Night On The Titanic

Paul J. QUINN

Fantail - 1999

More than 85 years after her sinking, the story of the Titanic continues to fascinate us. Now Paul Quinn brings us a fresh narrative featuring extensive survivor testimony and all new artwork. Dusk to Dawn opens with a foreword by Edward Kamuda, the president and founder of the Titanic Historical Society. Beginning at 8 o'clock as the sun sets, each chapter takes the reader through another hour of the unfolding tragedy. Numerous eyewitness accounts provide details from the passengers and crew - their actions, thoughts and feelings on that night. The narrative continues until dawn, when we see the last lifeboat taken aboard the rescue ship Carpathia. Dusk to Dawn is illustrated with twenty-seven of Paul Quinn's original color paintings, and eighty black and white archive photographs. Diagrams and inserts on special topics accent the narrative. A glossary, a bibliography and an index complete the book.
