The 1912 disaster of RMS Titanic became one of the century’s most famous, perhaps infamous, events – and spawned many legends.
From her construction in the Harland and Wolff shipyards amid political chaos in Belfast, to her nickname as the ‘millionaire’s special’, the Titanic became a perfect window into the Edwardian era that created her.
Historian Gareth Russell makes a welcome return to Warwick to explore the myths of the Titanic: what life was really like onboard the supposedly unsinkable ‘ship of dreams’, and the mistakes, heroism and scandals of its tragic sinking.
