Phillip's Blind and Timothy's Compass: The Cay

A survival story set on the Titanic, where choices affect the outcome of the passengers' fate.

"Violet Jessop was probably the only rescued person with a toothbrush after the Britannic struck a mine and sank. But then she had been on the Titanic four years earlier and remembered what she had missed...". "In 1934, she wrote her memoirs. After a childhood in Argentina and formative years in England, she became a stewardees aboard a variety of passenger ships. She was there when Titanic sideswiped the iceberg and sank; four years later, she was a wartime nurse aboard the hospital ship Britannic. Service with the White Star Line put her literally in harm's way, at the center of two epic maritime disasters. Her life was saved on the Titanic because an officer asked her to get into a lifeboat so non-English speaking emigrants would follow her example.". "But apart from these historically significant occasions, there is much, much more. Few, if any, ocean liner stewardesses ever wrote their memoirs; hence, Violet Jessop's life story is doubly valuable - one of a kind as well a articulate, authoritative and informative. From her unique vantage point, whether in pantry or glory hole, on deck or in a lifeboat, we are suddenly privy to below-stairs life aboard the great ocean liners."--BOOK JACKET.

A tale of survival and loss, Revenge of the Whale chronicles the harrowing experience of the Essex crew as they battled for their lives after their ship was sunk by a giant whale.

Discusses the Titanic, including its design, how the ship sank, the passengers onboard, and why the ship's legacy lives on.

This book is a brilliantly original and gripping new look at the sinking of the Titanic through the prism of the life and lost honor of J. Bruce Ismay, the ship's owner. Books have been written and films have been made, we have raised the Titanic and watched her go down again on numerous occasions, but out of the wreckage Frances Wilson spins a new epic: when the ship hit the iceberg on April 14, 1912, and 1000 men, lighting their last cigarettes, prepared to die, J. Bruce Ismay, the ship's owner and inheritor of the White Star fortune, jumped into a lifeboat filled with women and children and rowed away to safety. Accused of cowardice and of dictating the Titanic's excessive speed, Ismay became, according to one headline, "the most talked-of man in the world." The first victim of a press hate campaign, he never recovered from the damage to his reputation, and while the other survivors pieced together their accounts of the night, Ismay never spoke of his beloved ship again. Using never-before-seen letters written by Ismay to the beautiful Marion Thayer, a first-class passenger with whom he had fallen in love during the voyage, Frances Wilson explores Ismay's desperate need to tell his story, to make sense of the horror of it all, and to find a way of living with the consciousness of lost honor. - Jacket flap.

An engaging, fact‑packed guide for young readers that explores every aspect of the Titanic—from its design and voyage to its tragic sinking and lasting mysteries.
