GENERAL NOTE
General note "Deep in the dark North Atlantic night, the majestic ocean liner Titanic strikes ice and quickly begins to sink. It radios out an 'S-O-S' distress call into the night. But all the ships who receive the call are too far away to help. All apart from the humble Carpathia. But surely it is too small to help, and how will it navigate the perilous ice fields? Follow the brave crews of both ships and find out what happened on this fateful night. It's all hands to deck as the little ship races on its brave journey to save 706 passengers from the world's most famous maritime disaster." --back cover

SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "This exquisitely illustrated story of quiet bravery tells in rich detail how the little ship Carpathia saved 705 passengers of the Titanic from the icy waters of the North Atlantic. In the middle of the night, the Carpathia received a distress call from the sinking Titanic. The intrepid little ship heroically changed course and headed straight into the frozen sea to help save as many people as it could. Follow the Carpathia as it risks everything to navigate remote, treacherous ice fields in the dark and come to the rescue of passengers on the world-famous ocean liner. Along the journey, you will learn all about Morse code, navigation tools, the different roles of the crew, how the ships found each other, and by-the-minute details of exactly what happened on this cold and fateful night. The illustrations set the scene and take the reader into the frozen eerie night in the North Atlantic. Beautiful full-bleed illustration and vignettes give great detail about how everyone on the ship made their own contribution and showed true bravery. Rescuing Titanic shows that a glimmer of hope can be found even in great tragedy and that heroes are not always big and mighty, but can also be small and unassuming." --WorldCat.org
