Reddit mentions of Titanic, First Accounts: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

You’re welcome! If you’re interested in eyewitness accounts, which I agree are riveting, there are a lot to choose from for Titanic. Some of the classic ones are Jack Wincour’s edition of survivor accounts, The Story of the Titanic as told by its Survivors, which includes Col. Archibald Gracie’s account which he compiled by interviewing survivors, of which he was one. It was published posthumously; he died of the traumas he sustained in the wreck 8 months after the event. His account is also in Titanic, a Survivor’s Story, which also has young Jack Thayer’s memories, The Sinking of the SS Titanic, which he compiled from notes a few decades after the sinking. John Mowbray’s Sinking of the Titanic, Eyewitness Accounts was published in late 1912, months after the sinking. Like Gracie, he too pulls together accounts from surviving passengers. Titanic, First Accounts by Tim Maltin (2012) excerpts selections from survivors’ accounts. Finally, Violet Jessop was a nurse who survived the sinking of both Titanic and the Britannic. Her memoirs, Titanic Survivor, written in 1934, were just discovered in 1996. The Encyclopedia Titanica is a great online resource, so too are The Titanic Historical Society and The British Titanic Society.
