Talk by Steve Herra

Most of us know the story of this British passenger liner that struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage in 1912, resulting in the deaths of approximately 1,500 people. But now is the chance to learn some of the inside stories you might not know.

What did the ship builders claim Titanic to be? Why did John Coffey leave the ship at Queenstown? Who were the ‘Titanic Orphans’? Who was Henry Morley accompanying whilst his wife was in the UK and why did the SS Californian captain ignore the distress rockets?

We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
