Archibald Gracie IV

Oberst Archibald Gracie IV (født 15. januar 1859 i Mobile, Alabama død 4. desember 1912 i New York City, New York) var en amerikansk forfatter, amatørhistoriker, investor og overlevende etter RMS «Titanic»s forlis. Han var den siste overlevende til å forlate skipet, og han berget seg selv ved å komme ombord i klappbåt B som fløt opp ned. Gracie har skrevet en populær bok om det han opplevde, og den er fortsatt i trykk den dag i dag.^[1] Boken het Sannheten om Titanic og ble først publisert i 1913. Her prøvde Gracie å identifisere hvem som satt i de ulike livbåtene.^[2]

Gracie har i ettertid blitt portrettert flere ganger, men mest kjent er han i Bernard Fox' tolkning fra James Camerons Titanic.
