6335 Service Rd, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 9E8, CanadaThe Tragedy of the Lusitania: Embracing Authentic Stories by the Survivors and Eye-Witnesses of the Disaster, Including Atrocities on Land and Sea, in the Air, Etc. — Memorial Edition (1915) by Captain Frederick D. Ellis Published by George W. Bertron, Office of the Librarian of Congress, Washington, D.C. This Memorial Edition, published the same year the RMS Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat (May 7, 1915), serves as one of the earliest collected records of the disaster. Compiled by Captain Frederick D. Ellis, it draws together firsthand survivor accounts, eyewitness testimony, and reports of atrocities occurring both at sea and on land during the wider context of World War I. 324 pages. Hardcover. Illustrated throughout with photos and depictions of the ship, passengers, and the broader wartime setting. Full Title: The Tragedy of the Lusitania: Embracing Authentic Stories by the Survivors and Eye-Witnesses of the Disaster, Including Atrocities on Land and Sea, in the Air, Etc. Bound in black cloth with gilt spine title, this copy remains dark and unfaded, protected in a removable cellophane wrap. Condition Notes: Seam split between the front board and title page. The front free endpaper is fully detached but present. All other pages remain securely attached to the hinge. Light edge rubbing, consistent with age. Internally clean and unmarked. Published swiftly in response to the tragedy, this Memorial Edition stands as a raw and immediate tribute to the lives lost, and as a window into how the event was understood in its time—before the political and historical lenses of later decades reframed its legacy. Happy to discuss shipping options!
