Contact Details

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.

Where to start with Titanic?

If you are new to Titanic, or are looking for a book to tell you a little more you really can't go wrong with this one:-


 Titanic, The full story of a tragedy, by Michael Davie (published 1986).

I've spotted it with several different covers over the years.

Michael Davie (sadly no longer with us) was a journalist. Maybe because of this he had checked, and researched his facts so throughly. Mr Davie interviewed some of the men who worked on the Titanic and you will find extracts from those interviews in the book.

Its not a 'coffee table' book and my copy (now getting very brown around the gills) is weather beaten and has no illustrations.

It is however, a cracking good read. No wishy stories of 'legends' or curses' but the truth and a good investigative report.

Over the years it has been in an out of print, I suspect as 2012 comes along it will be reprinted (hopefully without a lot of gaudy photos). Please look out for it.
