Three viewpoints on the Titanic’s final voyage

This Who HQ graphic novel approaches the Titanic through the experiences of three survivor groups: Syrian Lebanese siblings Jamilah and Ilyas Yarred, the Haitian French Laroche family, and American socialite Margaret Brown. Their differing circumstances place class, migration, family bonds, and survival alongside the well-known disaster itself. The book’s full-color graphic format organizes a major historical event around individual passenger perspectives, tracing what these travelers encounter before, during, and after the sinking. It offers a focused way to consider how social background shaped life aboard the ship and the aftermath of its voyage.
