The book opens with a foreword in which Hopkinson discusses the enduring legacy of the RMS Titanic and includes a detailed diagram of what the ship actually looked like. First published in 2012 by Scholastic Books to coincide with the centennial anniversary of the ill-fated ship's sinking, Titanic brings together a series of compelling voices and vivid archival information that usher the disaster and the drama resoundingly into the present.
