The Titanic The Sinking of the Titanic

The Titanic: The Sinking of the Titanic for 9-12-year-olds The Titanic, which was built in 1912, was the largest and fastest ocean liner the world had ever seen, and it was considered to be unsinkable. The maiden voyage of the Titanic, which began at Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, picked up passengers from France and Ireland before heading across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. There were 2,200 passengers and crew onboard the Titanic for its historic voyage, but many would not make it as far as New York. They would lose their lives in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Michael Grant brings you the story of the Titanic tragedy for young people ages 9-12, and how the so-called unsinkable ship met its end with the tragic loss of hundreds of lives.
