When History Happened: I Was on the Titanic

When History Happened: I Was on the Titanic 🚢🌊 transports young adventurers straight into the gripping true story of the RMS Titanic's fateful 1912 maiden voyage. Through the wide-eyed perspective of 10-year-old Alex Chen—a curious Canadian boy traveling with his aunt, little sister Mia, and new friends—listeners experience the thrill of boarding the world's largest "unsinkable" ship in Southampton, England, and the rapid shift from luxury to life-or-death survival.​

From Majesty to Mayhem 🏰❄️

Savor the ship's wonders: grand staircases rivaling palaces, swimming pools 🏊‍♂️, and gourmet feasts that dazzle Alex and his family. But as iceberg warnings mount on April 14, excitement turns to chaos at 11:40 PM when the hull scrapes ice, flooding watertight compartments. Short, pulse-pounding 25 chapters chronicle the collision's shudder, frantic lifeboat launches under "women and children first," and Alex's heroic swim through freezing waters—blending verified history like the missing lookout binoculars with raw emotion and family bonds.​
