All Stations Distress! April 15, 1912: The Day the Titanic Sank By Don Brown It took 4,000 men to built it, 23 tons of animal grease to slide it into the ocean, 100,000 people to wave bon voyage, but only one wrong move to tear the Titanic apart. On a cold moonless night in April 1912, 2,000 passengers, the rich enjoying a luxury cruise and the poor hoping to find a new life in America, struggled to survive. Only 700 did. Lifeboats were launched half-full; women were forced to leave their husbands and sons behind; and even those who made it out alive were forever haunted, constantly wondering “why me?” 6-10 years It is also worth mentioning that Rigel, the huge Newfoundland hound, based on a fictional newspaper article from 1912, survives this story. Like its British counterpart some weeks later, the Senators had the advantage of questioning witnesses while events were still fresh in their minds and before stories could be conveniently changed. No stone was left unturned: the ice warnings about the danger of icebergs, the inadequate number of lifeboats, the Titanic’s unanswered SOS calls from nearby ships, the shameful statistics of those who lived and those who died…and so on. The White Star Line’s chairman, Bruce Ismay, was accorded no favours.

It wasn’t until 1955 when Walter Lord wrote the definitive account of the sinking, A Night To Remember, that interest in Titanic was reignited across the world. Lord had sailed on the Titanic’s sister ship Olympic as a child and developed a fascination with the Titanic, collecting old newspaper cuttings and memorabilia. His parents thought him very odd.

Titanic Sinks: Experience the Titanic’s Doomed Voyage in this Unique Presentation of Fact and Fiction By Barry Denenberg To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, Barry Denenberg has created high-concept book that’s a unique combination of fiction and nonfiction. He uses a fictional framework to present the true story of the building and launching of the ship and to give a “you are there” feeling as it goes down. Designed with authentic period photographs and illustrations, Titanic Sinks! immerses you in the era and tells why it’s still a cultural touchstone a hundred years after its demise. 9-12 years The parts of the story aboard the Carpathia, reduce the tension, at least initially, and are written in the first person through Clara’s eyes. She is a fun main protagonist and fits in well with both actual and imagined passengers and crew. Sid Daniels’ part in the story is changed but the most important historical aspects remain. He is depicted as being much younger than his eighteen years, as some of the crew were, with his rescue a far more exciting affair than its factual counterpart and those of others detailed earlier in the book.
