The most entertaining and compelling series of five lectures covering all aspects of the RMS Titanic Story. Morag Irvings, encyclopaedic technical knowledge of the intricate detail, made the wide ranging Q&A sessions, an event to remember.
Julian Brays delivery of the story was deeply moving and powerfully illustrated with pictures and documents, many not seen before. The personal stories of the passengers on board were all brilliantly researched.
We had to move them from the 400 seat Conference Centre into our 1,200 seat theatre, and repeat some of the lectures, such was the sustained demand for places, on the maiden voyage of the Independence of the Seas which retraced the RMS Titanic journey to Queenstown (COBH) Ireland. Julian and Morag were as always a professional delight to work with.
On subsequent voyages with us, when they have been asked to repeat the series, it was noted that all of the subjects had been updated, and the theatrical on-screen presentations infused with new material reflecting the actual 100th Anniversary of the sinking.

The Hawke



Titanic’s sister ship Olympic had collided with a naval ship the ‘Hawke’ in September of 1911. It was repairs to Olympic following this collision which delayed Titanic’s own maiden voyage. The Hawke had an underwater steel and concrete ram. This ram caused the most damage, when her bow struck Olympics hull the sound could be heard one mile away. Fortunately the incident happened just outside Southampton water so passengers were disembarked on the Isle of Wight.
