\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The Loss of the S.S. Titanic by Lawrence Beesley on my Kindle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 100th\u00a0anniversary\u00a0of the sinking of the Titanic is only a few days away (Titanic sank on April 15th, 1912). \u00a0And for those who want to explore its history, I can recommend a free Ebook.<\/p>\n

The Loss of the S.S. Titanic<\/em> by Lawrence Beesley is a first hand account from one of the survivors. Mr. Beesley survived the Titanic tragedy and, after encouragement, wrote his own story of how the events unfolded.<\/p>\n

The book is in the\u00a0public\u00a0domain and\u00a0available\u00a0for free download at Project Guttenberg.<\/a> It can also be downloaded for free through amazon.com for Kindle.<\/p>\n

I own a couple of Kindles and downloaded the book. \u00a0Rather than download the free editon, \u00a0my Kindle edition was purchased for only .99 from amazon.com.<\/a>\"\" (I started reading it last night and it’s hard to put down!)<\/p>\n

What’s the difference between the free version and the paid version? \u00a0The free version is just text. \u00a0The paid version, however, \u00a0has illustrations plus an interactive table of contents. \u00a0I like to make use of all the\u00a0interactive\u00a0features on my Kindle, so I felt the .99 was a real bargain.<\/p>\n

Another free Ebook regarding the Titanic is Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters<\/a>\"\". \u00a0I downloaded the free edition, but amazon.com also offers it as a paid Kindle Ebook with\u00a0additional\u00a0features.<\/p>\n

If you have the extra coin, you can also download the classic A Night to Remember<\/a>\"\" by Walter Lord. \u00a0Many feel that this is still the definitive retelling of Titanic’s final minutes.<\/p>\n

If you want to enjoy a quick read on Titanic (something\u00a0you can readi n one sitting) I recommend Lifeboat No. 8: An Untold Tale of Love, Loss, and Surviving the Titanic (Kindle Single)<\/a>\"\". \u00a0It was historically accurate and gave yet another side of what the survivors endured on that fateful night. In this case, the survivors of Lifeboat No.8.<\/p>\n

And, I stumbled on a new offering regading the history of the Titanic. It’s 101 Things You Thought You Knew About the Titanic . . . but Didn’t!<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

So, get a Kindle and grab a free Ebook about the Titanic. Or, buy any number of\u00a0other\u00a0Kindle books which recount Titanic’s tragic maiden voyage. \u00a0And, with a Kindle, you can download and be reading in less than 60 seconds.<\/p>\n

I love my Kindle! \u00a0It opens you to a whole new world of learning, history, and\u00a0entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
