"The text in the book is quite accessible for the elementary
student and yet will appeal to an older audience as well... For use
in school and public libraries as well as in personal collections."
-Resource Links. There is no limit to our appetite for the Titanic.
The ship's demise more than 100 years ago still invites curiosity,
fascination and conjecture. This is a meticulously reconstructed
adventure of the legendary disaster. Author Jim Pipe assumes the
role of one of the many journalists that covered the maiden voyage.
He describes the facts: the financiers and builders, the shipyard,
the layout and state-of-the-art technology, the passengers, the
appointments, staterooms, dining rooms and more, and also 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. The chapters are: Birth of
the Titanic - with technical details; The Voyage Ahead - with guide
to whales and seabirds; Boarding the Ship - with gatefold; Cabins
Fit for a King - with "door" flaps; The Height of Luxury - with
meal menu; Exploring the Ship - with playing cards; Full Steam
Ahead! - with cutaway diagram; The Wireless Room - with secret
message in envelope; The Iceberg Hits - with passenger diary;
Abandon Ship!; The Rescue - with 1912 newspaper; Aftermath - with
booklet showing sinking. From excitement to horror, Titanic is a
richly detailed and dramatic experience for readers of all ages.
