    About this ebook

    This book commemorates the enduring legacy of the world’s most famous ship – TITANIC.

    Her story is one of all those bound together on that fateful voyage. On board were: writers, artists, honeymooners, sportsmen, priests, reverends, fashion designers, aristocrats, millionaires, children, crew and emigrants looking for a better life.

    This book tells of their lives, and shines the spotlight on:

    • Some of the great ship’s surprising treasures
    • Her fêted voyage from Belfast’s
      Harland & Wolff shipyard
    • The fascinating museums devoted to her memory, including Titanic Belfast
    • The iconic music and movies
    • Her winged and four-legged passengers
    • The sister ships of Olympic and Britannic
    • Tales of heroism
    • Theories surrounding Titanic’s fatal collision
    • The lifeboats and just how close the SS Californian was on that tragic night
    • How Arctic explorer Ernest Shackleton and the inquiries viewed events

    These stories and much more lie inside.

    Nicola Pierce

    Nicola Pierce published her first book for children, Spirit of the Titanic, to rave reviews and five printings within its first twelve months. City of Fate, her second book, transported the reader deep into the Russian city of Stalingrad during World War II. The novel was shortlisted for the Warwickshire School Library Service Award, 2014. Nicola went on to bring seventeenth-century Ireland vividly to life in Behind the Walls (2015), a rich emotional novel set in the besieged city of Derry in 1689, followed by Kings of the Boyne (2016), a moving and gritty account capturing the Battle of the Boyne (1690), which was shortlisted for the Literacy Association of Ireland (LAI) awards. In 2018 Nicola delved in to the true stories of the passengers, crew and the legacy of the fated ship Titanic, in her illustrated book of the same name.
