New and powerful survivor’s account of the sinking of the Titanic

Frightening “Survivor’s Tale” by John “Jack” Thayer III published for the first time for centenary

“The trip back to New York was one big heartache and misery. It seemed as if there were none but widows left, each one mourning the loss of her husband. It was a most pitiful sight."

Having survived the Titanic Thayer married another heiress to a railway fortune and carried on in business. In 1944 his son, a US air force pilot, was killed over the Pacific. His mother also died.

Tragically Thayer committed suicide at the age of 50, the age his own father was when he died on board the Titanic.
