Spedden was an American heiress who survived the sinking of the Titanic, and her account of her family's trip and the eventual disaster, written as a tale to amuse her seven years old son, was published about 45 years after her death. The story is told from the point of view of a stuffed bear. == How the story was written == Spedden was born in Morristown, New Jersey and lived with her husband Frederic and son Douglas in Tuxedo Park, New York. The family traveled frequently, and she kept detailed diaries of the trips. In April, 1912, the Speddens booked passage on the Titanic. After the ship sank, Daisy was rescued by the RMS Carpathia.〔"Mrs Margaretta Corning Spedden (née Stone)", (encyclopedia titanica )〕 All members of the Spedden entourage survived the disaster.〔(Titanic Titanic.com )〕 The next year, Spedden wrote and illustrated a book which told the story of the trip, sinking, and rescue from the point of view of Douglas' toy bear. She gave the storybook to Douglas as a Christmas present.〔("Tuxedo Historical Society to raffle Steiff Titanic bear, book". ) ''Record Online''.〕 Two years later, Douglas was killed in an automobile accident.〔Dunaief, Daniel.
