One of the books on the shortlist of the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Illustration (an award for books for children and young people), is this gorgeous book:

Rescuing Titanic 
A true story of quiet bravery in the North Atlantic

By Flora Delargy


As the Titanic begins to sink after striking ice, radio distress calls are sent out. But all the ships who receive the call are too far away to help. All apart from the humble Carpathia. But surely it is too small to help, and how will it navigate the perilous ice fields?

It is wonderfully illustrated with detailed and engaging drawings, see extra for an example - the crew of the Carpathia.

The grandaughters approved of it anyway!
