Tells in graphic novel format the raising of the Mary Rose, the discovery of the Titanic, and the sinking of the Bismarck. - Rosen Pub Group
The notorious shipwrecks highlighted in this graphic nonfiction volume include King Henry VIIIâs flagship Mary Rose, the âunsinkableâ steamship RMS Titanic, and the German battleship Bismarck. The details surrounding the hunt, discovery, and raising of the Mary Rose, the last moments of the Titanic, and the sinking of the Bismarck and the 1989 discovery of the wreck by Dr. Robert Ballard are narrated and illustrated in graphic-novel style. These richly-illustrated, high-interest stories are perfect for the reluctant reader, and the engaging, informative narratives are accessible introductions to this fascinating topic.
