From: National Lighthouse MuseumTalk & Book Signing with Author Kelly Skwarcan
Iron & Ice: The Full Tale of the Titanic is sure to captivate both those with no prior knowledge of the ship and long-time enthusiasts. Narrative in nature, character-driven, and tastefully detailed, Iron & Ice is set apart by its exploration of previously-glossed-over topics and its fresh perspective on familiar ones. This book explores the Titanic’s “best-of” narratives, divulges little-known facts, and simplifies pedantic technicalities to render the iconic tale engaging and meaningful to the modern reader.
With Iron & Ice, readers embark on a spellbinding journey that begins before the Titanic’s first sketches and ends over a century later in summer 2023. As one of the first books to connect the eerie parallels between OceanGate’s Titan submersible’s implosion and the Titanic disaster, Iron & Ice forges new ground, enthralling readers all the while.
Kelly Skwarcan is graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Notre Dame this year with plans to pursue graduate degrees in performance, and thereafter, counseling psychology. She is looking forward to a career intertwining her long-time love of the Titanic with the psychology of performance in deep-ocean exploration and submergence expeditions.
