Description

To commemorate the 102nd anniversary of the sinking of the RMS TITANIC, I decided to draw the moment when I first discovered about the tragic event that happened so many years ago. 

I was in the third grade in 2000. I was walking around in the library of my elementary school when I came across a book called “Polar the Titanic Bear”. Something about the book struck a chord in me about a little boy and his stuffed toy polar bear and their trip on the TITANIC. I wanted to know more about this ship and the people onboard and what happened to them. From there, I would read every TITANIC book I could find. 

The stories about TITANIC has touched my life and in some way has touched yours as well. It’s what inspired me to be an artist and to be a little historian about this famous liner. The passion still grows in me and will continue to do so for years to come.

1912-2014

To all the passengers and crew, may you all rest in peace.

Reading the story was fascinating, and it was heartbreaking finding out the boy died a few years after he survived the ship. Makes you wonder whatever happened to that bear...

I remember reading that book when I was younger! I was sad when I learned that Polar's boy had died in real life.

I loved that book when it came out, it was a very neat perspective of the sinking. I was heartbroken to find out Douglas Spedden ended up losing his life in 1915.
