Archibald Gracie IV (1858–1912) was a passenger on the RMS Titanic and the first adult survivor of the ship’s sinking to die. He wrote a popular book about the disaster, which was published posthumously. He was also an American writer, amateur historian, soldier, and real estate investor. (Source: Wikipedia)
