Publisher's Synopsis
"On April 15, 1912 an ""unsinkable"" ship called the Titanic unexpectedly hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Right? Well, that's not quite the real deal. The cruise ship company never really claimed the Titanic was unsinkable, and there were plenty of reports of ice coming in from other ships in the area. From the building of Titanic in Belfast to the rescue of passengers by the Carpathia, acclaimed author Kate Messner smashes history by exploring the little-known truths behind the tragic story of the Titanic. Don't miss History Smashers: The Mayflower, Women's Right to Vote, and Pearl Harbour."
