100 years ago this week, the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic. To mark that anniversary, here’s a listing of some of the Titanic books available in Andruss Library:
“Exploring the Titanic” by Robert D. Ballard Juvenile Collection 363. 123091631 B189e
Children’s book, which describes the Titanic’s first and last voyage as well as the discovery and exploration of the ship on the ocean’s floor.

“Maiden Voyage” by Geoffrey Marcus General Collection G530. T6 M 28 1969b
