Voyage on the Great Titanic

Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, R.M.S. Titanic, 1912    Voyage on the Great Titanic was written by Ellen Emerson White. It has no illustrations except for the photos in the back of the book. It was published in 1998. You can get this book at the Brookfield Public Library. It is historical fiction.
     Voyage on the Great Titanic is the diary of Margaret Ann Brady, a  British passenger on the Titanic (Note: she is fiction). She lived at an orphanage until a wealthy American woman named Mrs. Carstairs was to be her guardian on the Titanic. Once she reached America, she would meet up with her brother, William. She was a survivor on the Carpathia and met her brother in America.
      My favorite part of the book is at the end. Margaret and William are on a train headed somewhere. All you know about their future is that they were going to get two cats the next day. What else will their future bring them? I don't know. I hope something good will happen but I will never know.

  1. The Third Class Dining Saloon was located on the Deck F which was two floors below the dining hall for first class. They enjoyed large hearty meals each time which satisfied there hunger. The food served to them was fairly basic but was very well designed with freshly baked breads, pastas and fruits at every meal.

  2. AJ, you are quite the reader. I will have to read the book. I think you should create a sequel to the book. Then everyone will know what happened to the siblings.
