Titanic Myths in Popular History: Examining the Evidence





Many aspects of Titanic's history are misunderstood. Errors are often repeated from one book or television programme to another. Mark Chirnside, the well known maritime author, discusses a few common beliefs about the ship, focusing on the importance of going back to the primary sources.

 

Whether you already know a lot about the Titanic or not, there is something for you.He has authored many critically acclaimed books, including Olympic, Titanic & Britannic: An Illustrated History of the ‘Olympic’ Class Ships (2012).

 

He gives regular talks on the subject:

 

‘I am not exaggerating to say that you are one of the best lecturers I’ve heard…; so articulate, precise and unassuming as you share your in-depth and impeccably referenced knowledge’.

 

16.00 to 16.15: Book signing of Mark's fantasic new book 'Titanic Myths in Popular History :Examining the Evidence'
