New Titanic Books for Kids

Why books about Titanic for kids? Everyone is interested in learning more about Titanic these days, and that includes kids.

It's been 100 years since Titanic sank, and many commemorative activities took place this year. New books about the sinking of the Titanic have been published, and some were written especially for young readers.

There are books about the passengers on the Titanic- the ones who survived, and the ones who didn't. There are books about the ship - how it was built, and how it sank.

There are even fictional stories that take place against the backdrop of the great sea tragedy.

Many of these are books written specifically for kids, or that kids will want to read. So, I'm siezing upon this opportunity to encourage kids to read by presenting a page of recently published, and about to be published books about Titanic for kids.

For a newspaper to devote the entire front page to one event meant it was most important!

The family was sleeping. Awakened by a jolt, Millvina and Bertram's father went out to see what happened, then came back and got his family up and dressed. The went up on deck. Mrs. Dean and the two children escaped disaster in lifeboat #10. They never saw Mr. Dean again, but he made sure his wife and children were safe that awful night.

Little Millvina grew up and lived a long life. A very long life. She was, in fact the last one of Titanic's survivors left when she passed away at the age of 97.

How many children were lost?

The lives of 52 or 53 Children
age 12 and under were lost that night

What About Loraine Allison?

Was she number 53?

type=textSome sources say 52 children were lost, but all 6 first class children survived. Was Helen Loraine Allison number 53?

Loraine (2) and Trevor (11 months) were in first class. As lifeboats were being loaded, Mrs Allison had Loraine, and nurse Alice had Trevor.

In the confusion, they got separated. Mrs. Allison refused to leave until she found the baby, and never made it off the ship. She didn't know Alice and Trevor were already safely in lifeboat 11.

But the story MAY not have ended there....

In 1940, a woman claimed to be the same Loraine Allison, saying her mother finally handed her off to a Mr. Hyde, who raised her in America. The Allison family never believed her.

Some passenger listings name all 6 children in first class as survivors, making the number that perished 52. But what about Loraine Allison? She would have been number 53.

Where Did Titanic Sink?

type=textTitanic began sinking before midnight on April 14, 1912, and it was after midnight when she finally slipped beneath the surface. She fell amost two and a half miles to the ocean floor.

The RMS Titanic was bound for New York City, and was about 450 miles away from her destination when she sank. The nearest land to the shipwreck of the Titanic is 370 miles away, at Mistaken Point, Newfoundland.

The great ship literally broke in two, and the two parts of the ship lie separately on the ocean floor, each being slowly eaten by microbes.
