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.
