Selected Materials at the Halifax Public Libraries

Halifax was witness to one of the most tragic shipwrecks of the 20th Century – the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. On April 14th, 1912, at 11:40pm, the Titanic struck an iceberg, about 650 kilometers south-east of Newfoundland. More than two hours later the ship — which many believed to be "unsinkable"– was lost to the Atlantic. It is thought that over fifteen hundred souls rest with the wreck of the Titanic. The following resource list includes both fiction and non-fiction works in English and French, music on compact discs, feature films and documentaries on DVD, magazine articles, and children’s literature. These materials will guide the curious and the knowledgeable alike through the fascinating world of the Titanic’s first voyage and the legacy of her demise.
