The Day the Titanic Sank

by Don Brown

"The Unsinkable Ship" has a storied history and the events leading up to her unlikely end are intriguing. Many famous families from Britain and America were aboard Titanic on her maiden voyage from England to New York in 1912. The luxurious ship offered travelers the finest of amenities, including staterooms, restaurants, and a swimming pool. Although it didn't seem that anything could sink this floating palace, an iceberg proved to be an unbeatable enemy late in the night. From the misuse of life boats, to the disadvantages of the second- and third-class passengers, only 711 of the 2,200 passengers survived the sinking.

Young readers will enjoy the facts and fast-paced text about one of history's favorite mysteries.
