On the night of April 14-15, 1912, while passengers aboard the Titanic were enjoying the luxurious accommodations of the White Star fleet's newest ocean liner, the ship struck an iceberg off the coast of New-foundland.
Described as "unsinkable"," the largest and most elegant ocean-going vessel of the period quickly sank with the loss of more than 1,500 lives.
For this exciting coloring book, artist Peter Copeland has dramatically recreated events leading up to and including the monumental tragedy. Twenty-nine realistic drawings, accompanied by fac-filled captions, depict the Titanic docked in Southampton, England; the ship's captain and pfficers on the bridge,
passengers dining, strolling on deck, and relaxing in the elegant first class lounge; the ship striking the iceberg, a wireless operator sending an SOS from the sinking vessel, passengers jumping into the water, survivors huddled in lifeboats, and much more.
Capturing all the excitement, drama and anguish of one of history's greatest maritime disasters, this impressive volume will delight coloring book fans with its combination of detailed, realistic illustrations and carefully researched historical information.
