The Wreck of the Ethie by Hillary Hyland is a great one! It is based on the true story of a shipwreck and rescue (everyone survived) of the "Ethie." It wrecked off the coast of Newfoundland on December 11, 1919. There is a part in Chapter 12 that should be pre-read by the teacher for adjustments to the read aloud if the teacher feels it's too dramatic for little ones to hear. I used it with 1st graders and was able to do a bunch of cross-curricular tie-ins. Good Luck!
