 As Buckingham was a journalist, his vivid account of the incident was published first in the "Boston Courier", picked up by other papers including "The Times" (London) and also reprinted in a book published in the same year, thus gaining wide currency.A more noted instance occurred during the 1852 evacuation of the Royal Navy troopship .It is, however, most famously associated with the sinking of RMS "Titanic" in 1912.
