Inside the Titanic

By (author) Ken Marschall






| book description |

Frank Goldsmith can hardly believe his luck. He is going to America on board the newest and largest ocean liner in the world. Once he and his family have found their small room in third class, Frank goes off to explore the Titanic. Several decks above the Goldsmiths, twelve-year-old Billy Carter is sharing a luxurious first-class suite with his sister and parents. He is just as eager as Frank to discover the ship, to try the equipment in the Titanic's gymnasium and go for a dip in the liner's swimming pool...The illustrations in this book usher readers down the Grand Staircase to the huge dining saloon or to the luxurious Turkish baths and take them to the very heart of the ship, its bridge, on the night of the disaster. Full-page illustrations show how the liner struck the fatal iceberg and depict water slowly filling the ship after the collision. Words and pictures re-create the final hours of the Titanic's life, as Billy and Frank watch while the 'unsinkable' ship disappears beneath the sea.
