April 10th, 1912: Welcome onboard the 'Titanic'

In this episode, first broadcast in 2021, Northern Irish historian Gareth Russell - author of THE SHIP OF DREAMS: THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC AND THE END OF THE EDWARDIAN ERA - brings you onboard the 'Titanic' on the first day of her legendarily tragic voyage. He's joined by Cáilum Carragher and Rebecca Lenaghan to read the words of eyewitnesses - Irish author Shan Bullock and first-class passenger, Ida Straus.

Gareth Russell’s book about the Titanic’s fateful maiden voyage, “The Ship of Dreams”, is an excellent read, especially as he highlights the stories of six of the passengers, thus placing the ship’s story in the context of its time. Highly recommended!
