The wreck of the Titanic remains one of the most closely studied disasters at sea, and this Eyewitness volume lays out the ship, the voyage and the aftermath through photographs and annotated objects.
The Eyewitness format pairs short blocks of text with detailed images on every spread, so a reader can move through the ship's construction, life on board across the passenger classes, the night of the sinking and the later search for the wreck without working through long chapters. Captions carry much of the information, which suits readers who prefer to explore a page rather than read it straight down. The paperback edition runs 72 pages.
Quick facts for buyers:
• 72 pages of photo-led spreads in the Eyewitness series style
• Recommended for readers around nine to twelve years old
• Captioned artefacts and cutaways instead of long prose chapters
• Coverage of the ship itself, the voyage and the discovery of the wreck
A good fit for upper-primary readers, school projects and history-minded families, published by DK Children and stocked at Boipoka.
