Rescuing Titanic: A True Story of Quiet Bravery in the North Atlantic

12th August 2021

A new illustrated story of quiet bravery tells in detail how the little ship Carpathia saved 705 passengers of the Titanic from the icy waters of the North Atlantic.

The intrepid little ship heroically changed course and headed straight into the frozen sea to help save as many people as it could.

Along the journey, you will learn all about Morse code, navigation tools, the different roles of the crew, how the ships found each other, and by-the-minute details of exactly what happened on this cold and fateful night.

Flora Delargy is an author and illustrator from Belfast who loves to bring to life true tales and events from the past. Her grandfather and great grandfather both worked in the Belfast Shipyards where the Titanic was built.
