Description
The Carpathia to the Aid of the Titanic. The Story of a Legendary Night.
Night of April 14-15, 1912. North Atlantic Ocean. The majestic “Titanic“, reputedly unsinkable, hits an iceberg and immediately begins to sink. 1,300 passengers and 900 crew members are in great danger. The liner immediately sent SOS and distress flares, but no boat could come to her aid. Except one, perhaps: the “Carpathia”, 58 miles away. Determined to help, this modest ship does everything it can to increase its sailing speed and avoid blocks of ice in its path. This book explores the courageous crew who saved 706 people from the world’s most famous maritime disaster.
A fascinating, never-before-seen documentary on the world’s largest maritime disaster.
Everyone knows the “Titanic”! But who knows the “Carpathia”, this shadowy boat which saved many passengers from drowning?… Particularly well documented, the breathtaking story, narrated in the present tense, gives the reader the impression of experiencing the scenes as if they were there. Strong sensations and a whirlwind of emotions are guaranteed.
Graphics with very strong narrative power
The poignant text is accompanied by remarkable watercolour and pastel illustrations, enhanced by the large format of the book. This documentary is not only a source of information on the “Titanic” and the “Carpathia” but also on boats in general.
