Colonel Archibald Gracie IV (January 17, 1859 – December 4, 1912) was an American writer, amateur historian, real estate investor, and survivor of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. He survived the sinking by climbing aboard an overturned collapsible lifeboat, and wrote a popular and valuable book about the disaster which is still in print today.
Gracie returned to New York aboard the Carpathia and immediately started on a book about his experiences aboard the Titanic and Collapsible "B". His is one of the most detailed accounts of the events of the evening; Gracie spent months trying to determine exactly who was in each lifeboat and when certain events took place. His work is not without faults; Gracie referred to every stowaway or man who jumped or sneaked aboard a lifeboat as a "Latin", "Japanese", or "Italian", and only gave the names of the men who put their wives aboard lifeboats and remained on the ship if they had been in first class. It is still a valuable resource for Titanic researchers and historians.
Gracie never recovered from the ordeal. Although he survived the sinking, he did not survive the year. His health was severely affected by the hypothermia and physical injuries he suffered, and he died of complications of diabetes on December 4, 1912, less than eight months after the sinking. He was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx; many of his fellow survivors, as well as family members of victims, attended his funeral. He was the first adult survivor to die.
Gracie was so preoccupied with the Titanic's sinking and work he had done on the subject that his last words were, "We must get them all into the boats."
