good story of facts about the Titanic that you may not have known
December 7, 2022
I work as a elementary school librarian for a K through 5 school. A lot of my students are very interested in the Titanic but have difficulty digesting the large fact books with paragraphs of information. When I received this from a book swapping site, the format intrigued me and I read it in one quick sitting. What a fun way to read facts! There is so much information that even I, as a 30-year old, wasn’t aware of. I really enjoyed the fact that there was a glossary in the back. My students are going to love this book!

This was an impressive book. For its short length, it contains a lot of facts that aren't all well-known. The book is laid out a little differently in a statistic format. There are photos interspersed with questions and answers, true or false questions, stats, myth versus truth, charts, and did you know facts. This format makes it a quick read.
I learned several new facts even though I've read many other Titanic books. The inventor of Hershey's chocolate, Milton Hershey, was supposed to sail on Titanic but an emergency kept him from going (20). The most lavish first class rooms, the Promenade Suites, would cost $100,000 in today's money (24). Perfume bottles recovered from the wreck still smell like lavender and rose (34). Bandleader Wallace Hartley's body was found with his violin case, and his violin sold in 2013 for $1.7 million (35). On April 14, the day the Titanic hit the iceberg, there was supposed to be a lifeboat drill, but Captain Smith canceled it (45). The Carpathia was actually headed for Europe, but Captain Rostron decided to turn around and bring the survivors back first (58).
As the title states, this book is geared towards kids with over 100 facts. Any tricky words are highlighted in blue and defined in the glossary. This is even helpful for adults at times for those unfamiliar with nautical terms. Therefore, I wouldn't necessarily restrict this to just kids.
My only concern with this book was I found a fact that contradicts several other books I have read. "Myth: The Titanic's passage was supposed to be Captain Edward John Smith's last voyage before retirement" (14). Several other books such as Titanic: An Illustrated History (35) and Exploring the Titanic say this is not a myth but is, in fact, true. However, this book says, "Truth: This was a popular tale just after the sinking, possibly created by newspaper reporters. However, just days before the ship set sail, the White Star Line said Smith would continue to be the Titanic's commander until a bigger, grander ship was built" (14). It's true that misinformation was a big problem at the start of this tragedy because there was no advanced technology around to help record the sinking. We had to rely on the crew's accounts and the survivors' eyewitness accounts and newspapers and telegrams. I need to research this more myself to see if this really is a myth because I thought it was his last voyage.
There are many facts we have debated before such as the survivors weren't sure if the Titanic split in two or not. Until we discovered the wreck, no one was sure. I'm not necessarily saying Mary Montero is wrong, but I would like some specific sources and proof of this particular fact. While I know this is a kid's book, it would be nice to have footnotes for specific facts so I could cross reference. Otherwise, this is a great addition to my Titanic book collection, and I highly recommend this for Titanic and history fans.
