Three survivor perspectives aboard the Titanic

This graphic nonfiction account approaches the Titanic disaster through the experiences of three groups of survivors: Syrian Lebanese siblings Jamilah and Ilyas Yarred, the Haitian French Laroche family, and American socialite Margaret Brown. Their differing circumstances place class disparity alongside family ties and survival, showing how passengers’ backgrounds shaped their experiences before, during, and after the sinking. Full-color illustrations carry the historical narrative in a 64-page format, making the book a focused introduction to the voyage and its human stakes rather than a broad ship-history survey.
