SOS im Atlantik

The untold story of the Carpathia, which rescued over 700 passengers from the Titanic.

The Titanic remains the most famous ship in the world to this day. Its story is unforgettable and as tragic as few others. On its maiden voyage, the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank just a few hours later in the North Atlantic. Almost all ships that received its SOS were too far away—except for the Carpathia, which immediately changed its course to rescue the Titanic's passengers from the icy sea. The small ship risked everything to navigate through treacherous ice fields in the dark, ultimately reaching the survivors of the world-famous ocean liner.

On this journey, we learn all about Morse code, navigation instruments, and what life on board was like, the roles of the various crew members, and how the captains navigated their ships through the ocean. In this richly illustrated nonfiction book, readers can accompany the brave members of both crews minute by minute through the events of that cold and fateful night.
