Synopsis

On April 15, 1912, at around 12:20 a.m., the RMS Carpathia received an urgent distress call from the Titanic. The Carpathia's captain, Arthur Rostron, didn't hesitate. He steamed his ship toward the disaster at top speed, navigating through a minefield of icebergs along the way. Through quick action, more than 700 souls survived the sinking of the Titanic. How did the Carpathia captain, crew, and passengers carry out the life-saving effort, and what is the enduring legacy of their heroic act? Through the compelling, easy-to-read graphic novel format, young readers can learn why the maritime rescue is among the greatest moments in history.
