It is April 14, 1912. The Titanic is speeding through the icy North Atlantic Ocean. The luxury liner, on its maiden voyage to New York, is considered unsinkable. But on this night, the most famous disaster in maritime history will happen.

What circumstances led to the dramatic sinking of the world’s most famous ship? How did people on board cope with the unthinkable, what are their stories? Maja Nielsen grippingly recounts the dramatic moments after the Titanic hit the iceberg, how Second Officer Charles Lightoller rose above himself during the events of the sinking, and how the long-lost wreck was located in the depths of the Atlantic.

For this non-fiction picture book, I contributed many color illustrations and a wraparound cover, as well as assisting with layout, typesetting and cover typography and design.
