This engagingly illustrated book tells in thrilling detail the
story of the Carpathia, the small vessel which saved hundreds of
people from drowing during the sinking of the Titanic. Written and
illustrated by debut Northern Irish artist Flora Delargy, whose
grandfather and great grandfather both worked in the Belfast
Shipyards where the Titanic was built, this exquisitely illustrated
story of quiet bravery tells in rich detail how the little ship
Carpathia saved 705 passengers of the Titanic from the icy waters
of the North Atlantic. 'A visual feast [...] Exquisite artwork
[...] A triumphant debut'- The Observer, Best Picture Books 'A tour
de force - a gripping account [..] spare, well-judged text and
delicate but powerful illustrations'- The Guardian 'I don't often
cry while reading non-fiction, but this powerful story, beautifully
told, brought me to tears [...] one of my books of the year'- Irish
Examiner With the approaching 110-year anniversary of the ship's
sinking, Rescuing Titanic and its story of the Carpathia offers a
fresh perspective on the incident from an author-illustrator
uniquely connected to the story. In the middle of the night, the
Carpathia received a distress call from the sinking Titanic. The
intrepid little ship heroically changed course and headed straight
into the frozen sea to help save as many people as it could. Follow
the Carpathia as it risks everything to navigate remote,
treacherous ice fields in the dark and come to the rescue of
passengers on the world-famous ocean liner. Along the journey, you
will learn all about Morse code, navigation tools, the different
roles of the crew, how the ships found each other, and
by-the-minute details of exactly what happened on this cold and
fateful night. The illustrations set the scene and take the reader
into the frozen eerie night in the North Atlantic. Beautiful
full-bleed illustration and vignettes give great detail about how
everyone on the ship made their own contribution and showed true
bravery. Rescuing Titanic shows that a glimmer of hope can be found
even in great tragedy and that heroes are not always big and
mighty, but can also be small and unassuming. This is the debut
book in the Hidden Histories series, which explores with beautiful
illustrations and vivid details the untold parts of stories we
thought we knew.
