They say that 'curiosity killed the cat' and that 'greed damns your soul', and seldom have these sayings been more terrifyingly true than in one of the greatest horror stories of our times, Robert J. Serling's bestselling 'Something's Alive on the Titanic'. Ten years before the official discovery, in 1985, of the Titanic in its watery grave by Dr. Robert Ballard, a code-breaker, Derek Montague, fixes on a reference in the Titanic's manifest to 'Sovereign Metals Ltd. - 34 cases nails, screws and bolts'. Montague knows that Sovereign Metals' operations centered on smuggling and what they usually smuggled was gold. So, in his mind at least, the Titanic was probably carrying 34 cases of gold bullion when it went down in 1912 - 34 cases that are still lying there for the taking by the first people smart enough and brave enough to retrieve them from a probable depth of a daunting 12,000 feet under the sea. And so an expedition is launched with mixed motives - to be the first people to discover the Titanic and understand what really happened on that fateful voyage, and to be the only people to profit from the shadowy riches that were buried with her. And so, with reverence to the actual findings of Dr. Robert Ballard's expedition and the language and attitudes of the times, this heroic, ghostly and tragic tale begins ....

TITANIC. This is still the greatest, most recognized name in the history of ships. And it still resonates -- a great, dramatic story of pride, error and tragedy. This is the story of the voyage of the Titanic, from embarkation to disastrous iceberg contact, sinking -- and rediscovery by Dr Robert Ballard. It is told by focusing on two real young men who sailed on the great ship: wireless operator Harold Bride, and passenger Jack Thayer, son of the wealthy Marion and John Thayer, American socialites. How the ship sank, but Jack Thayer and Harold Bride survived, is part of the greater story of the Titanic, told here by the respected Canadian children's book author Shelley Tanaka, and with period photographs and beautiful paintings by Ken Marschall, with charts and illustrations that show the workings of the ship, the impact, and why it went down. First published in 1997, this edition has been revised and updated to reflect new information.

This is the graphic, first-hand story of the maiden voyage and disastrous sinking of the RMS Titanic, told by the survivors themselves. The story of the sinking of the great liner has been told countless times since that fateful night on April 14, 1912, by historians, novelists, and film producers alike, but no account is as graphic or revealing as those from the people who were actually there. Through survivors’ tales and contemporary newspaper reports from both sides of the Atlantic, here are eyewitness accounts full of details that range from poignant to humorous, stage by stage from the liner’s glorious launch in Belfast to the somber sea burial services of those who perished on her first and only voyage. In this book, the voices of the survivors share their own stories, as well as the official records, press reports, and investigations into what went wrong that night.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl comes the richly imagined story of Valora and Jamie Luck, twin British-Chinese acrobats traveling aboard the Titanic on its ill-fated maiden voyage. Valora Luck has two things: a ticket for the biggest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world, and a dream of leaving England behind and making a life for herself as a circus performer in New York. Much to her surprise though, she's turned away at the gangway; apparently, Chinese aren't allowed into America. But Val has to get on that ship. Her twin brother Jamie, who has spent two long years at sea, is there, as is an influential circus owner, whom Val hopes to audition for. Thankfully, there's not much a trained acrobat like Val can't overcome when she puts her mind to it. As a stowaway, Val should keep her head down and stay out of sight. But the clock is ticking and she has just seven days as the ship makes its way across the Atlantic to find Jamie, perform for the circus owner, and convince him to help get them both into America. Then one night the unthinkable happens, and suddenly Val's dreams of a new life are crushed under the weight of the only thing that matters: survival.
