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.

Titanic review - Shadow Of The Titanic - Andew Wilson

This has been my Christmas treat.





A quick look through the up and coming on Amazon.com will tell you to expect a tidal wave of new and revamped Titanic books to coincide with the 100th anniversary in April. Some of them do look pretty dire. The two minute trailer for Julian (Gosford Park) Fellowes drama ‘Titanic' during the Christmas Special looked disappointing too. We had the usual and I believe factually incorrect, third class trying to get through locked gates. I’m aware I may be a lone voice in this, but I can’t find any proof that this happened, on the contrary the reports show the opposite, but why spoil a good story with the truth?


Andrew Wilson is a journalist, and it shows. All his facts have been checked and the sources are listed in the back of the book. I have to say it was a joy to find a well researched and well written book..


It’s a different and fascinating way of looking at Titanic. The book tells you what happened to a handful of passengers when they left Titanic. Titanic certainly cast a very dark shadow all the way through the lives of those who survived. Some of the stories are very moving, Isamy I was pleased to see was treated in a sympathetic and adult way and not as a pantomime ogre which you find in some books.


 I really do recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did
