Voyage on the Great Titanic The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady R. M. S. Titanic 1912 Orphaned Margaret Brady accepts an opportunity to act as a companion to a wealthy American on the maiden voyage of the Titanic. Dear America Monday, 15 April 1912 It was after midnight, and I could still hear people moving about in the passageway. Before I had time to go out and join them, there was a sharp knock on my door. I opened it to see Robert. He was smiling, but his eyes looked urgent. Good evening, Miss Brady, he said. You need to put on something warm, and report to the Boat Deck with your life belt. Miss Brady When I heard that, I felt alarmed for the first time, but I was also startled.... A routine drill, he said. No need to fret. I knew he needed to get on with his duties, so I found a smile for him and nodded.... Robert started for the next stateroom, but then stopped. Youll not want to take your time, Margaret, he said in a very quiet voice. It did not seem possible - but maybe this was not a drill. In her diary in 1912, thirteen-year-old Margaret Ann describes how she leaves her lonely life in a London orphanage to become a companion to a wealthy American woman, sails on the Titanic, and experiences its sinking. Written from the point of view of a young passenger aboard the ill-fated Titanic, this title combines an award-winning series with the disaster of the century.
