On its maiden voyage, the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic on April 14th, 1912. While the story of the tragedy is world-famous, the granular details of how the disaster unfolded reveal a complicated series of events, decisions, and mechanical failures.

Join maritime archaeologist Caitlin Zant as she returns for an immersive breakdown of the night Titanic sank. This presentation provides a deep dive into the sinking's timeline, from the first iceberg warnings to the moments before the ship disappeared beneath the waves forever.

About the speaker:
Caitlin Zant is the Research & Communications Specialist at NOAA’s Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary. She has led numerous Great Lakes archaeological projects, public presentations, and outreach events, and has assisted in nominating over 25 Wisconsin shipwrecks to the National and State Registers of Historic Places. She is a leading voice in preserving underwater heritage sites.

Doors and cash bar open at 6:00 PM. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the limited bar. The presentation and livestream will begin at 6:30 PM. To access the livestream of this event, please register here: https://forms.gle/ZLjr8ehAUSWXxrto8
