Understanding J. Bruce Ismay: The True Story of the Man They Called 'The Coward of Titanic' - Softcover
Synopsis
Coward. Brute. Yellow-livered.
For over 100 years, J. Bruce Ismay has been the scapegoat of the Titanic disaster. He is the villain of every film and TV drama: a fit and able-bodied man who sacrificed the lives of women and children in order to survive. Some even claim that it was his fault the Titanic sank, that he encouraged the captain to sail faster.
But is this the true story?
In Understanding J. Bruce Ismay, Clifford Ismay opens up the family archives to uncover the story of a quiet man savaged by over a century of tabloid press. This is a must-read for any enthusiast who wishes to form their own opinion of the Titanic’s most infamous survivor.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An in-depth insight into the man at the heart of the world's most infamous maritime disaster. Following the Titanic disaster, Bruce Ismay was savaged by both the British and American press for deserting the ship while women and children were still on board. Some papers called him the 'Coward of the Titanic' or 'J. Brute Ismay', and suggested the White Star flag be changed to a 'yellow liver'. History has portrayed Bruce Ismay as a cold, heartless character who showed little compassion for others. Clifford Ismay's new book explores the life and motives of this misunderstood man, delving into family letters and diaries, and revisiting the public enquiries, to reveal a shy, compassionate man, who walked Titanic's boat deck for over two hours, assisting with preparing and loading the lifeboats before finding a spare seat in the last lifeboat to be successfully lowered from the starboard side, and who possibly suffered with post-traumatic stress for the rest of his life. AUTHOR: Clifford Ismay is 5th cousin to Bruce Ismay. He is currently engaged as director of Maryport Maritime Museum. Until the death of its founder he was privileged to have been Governor and Northern England representative for the Titanic Heritage Trust, and is a member of the British Titanic Society.
