Saved from the Titanic (1912)

Saved from the Titanic is a 1912 silent motion picture short starring Dorothy Gibson, an American film actress who survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912. She had been one of around 28 people aboard the first lifeboat to be launched from Titanic and was rescued about five and a half hours after leaving the ship. On returning to New York, she co-wrote the script and played a fictionalized version of herself. The plot involves her recounting the story of the disaster to her fictional parents and fiancé, with the footage interspersed by stock footage of icebergs, Titanic's sister ship Olympic and the ship's captain Edward Smith. To add to the film's authenticity Gibson wore the same clothes as on the night of the disaster and her rescue. The filming took place in a New Jersey studio and aboard a derelict ship in New York Harbor. It was the first film to be made about the disaster and premiered in the United States just 29 days after the ship sank.
