Plot Summary of Survival
"Gavin and Karolina did not know each other until they boarded the Titanic. Gavin was a ship steward, and Karolina was a third class passenger. These two people bonded during the sinking of the Titanic. They tried to help those who had difficulty escaping the flooding lower decks. Fear gripped Karolina and Gavin as they became separated. Seeing others die made them wonder of their own fate and wonder if they would ever see each other again."
Tracey Ray, Resident Scholar
