Description: This book covers the six days surrounding the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, as seen through the eyes of two survivors: 17-year-old Jack Thayer, a passenger, and Harold Bride, the 22-year-old assistant wireless operator. Tamaka attributes fictionalized words and feelings to these actual historical figures. Stunning, full-color illustrations, detailed diagrams of the ship's interior, and rare photographs convey a wealth of information to complement the gripping story.
