Content Warnings

Graphic: Child death, Death, Racial slurs, and Death of parent

Moderate: Racism, Injury/Injury detail, Xenophobia, Alcohol, Alcoholism, and Addiction

Minor: Blood

Much of the events of this novel take place aboard the Titanic, and a good chunk of the novel deals with the events of its 1912 sinking, in which over 1500 people died due to drowning and hypothermia. Some anti-Asian (particularly Chinese and Japanese) racial abuse is directed towards the MC and the other Chinese people aboard the ship, and a major plot point deals with the Chinese Exclusion Act, a racist policy banning Chinese people from entering the United States of America.
