A large-format, fully illustrated exploration of the Titanic that details both the sailing experience and the tragic sinking. Includes reproductions of period items, a narrated tour of the ship, eyewitness accounts and the official investigation.
There is no limit to our appetite for the Titanic. The ship's demise in April 1912 still invites curiosity, fascination and conjecture. This is a meticulously reconstructed adventure of the legendary disaster.
Jim Pipe assumes the role of one of the many journalists who covered the maiden voyage. He describes the facts: the financiers and builders, the shipyard, the layout and the state-of-the-art technology, the passengers, the appointments, staterooms, dining rooms and more, as well as the 'hidden' spaces used by the lower-class passengers and the crew.... And of course, he conveys the public astonishment at this new 'wonder of the world', the biggest ship ever, and unsinkable!
The narrator's imaginary account is combined with period photographs, illustrations, tip-ins, booklets and other ephemera and eyewitness accounts of the sinking, including those by surviving children. He covers the aftermath of the tragedy and includes the reports and inquiries of the official investigation.
From excitement to horror, Titanic is a richly detailed and dramatic experience for readers of all ages.
Jim Pipe studied Ancient & Modern History at Oxford University, then spent ten years in publishing before becoming a full-time writer. He has written numerous non-fiction books for children, many on historical subjects. He lives in Dublin.
Keeps the memories of that fateful event alive with incredible detail... An engrossing and revealing read. Titanic is a fascinating read.... Written in the first person, it details, to the minute, life onboard ship, from its departure to its last moments.
