Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. On April 10, 1912, Stead boarded the S.S. Titanic bound from Southampton to New York, to take part in a peace congress at Carnegie Hall. On the morning of April 15 the ship struck an iceberg and Stead, along with hundreds of others, drowned. At that time his daughter, Estelle, an actress and also a spiritualist, was on tour with her own Shakespearean company. Amongst its members was a psychically gifted man named Pardoe Woodman, who foretold the disaster as they sat talking after tea. Through Woodman's clairvoyant powers W. T. Stead was able to communicate the messages contained in \"The Blue Island.\" Ten years after the Titanic went down, Stead's daughter Estelle published \"The Blue Island: Experiences of a New Arrival Beyond the Veil,\" which purported to be a communication with Stead via a medium, Pardoe Woodman. In the book, Stead described his death at sea and discussed the nature of the afterlife. The manuscript was produced using automatic writing.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1614275661\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1614275661.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stead, W.
