Gareth Russell gives such a consistently fascinating interview, and is an excellent historian. I watched every one of his Single Malt’s on the subject of the Titanic.
This was so interesting! Gareth’s book takes a human approach to the disaster, rather than a technical approach, which isn’t what I imagined the book to be. I’ve been to the museum in Belfast, which is fascinating, even down to the design of the building. The tour was too short IMO, so I was only able to skim the surface rather than being able to actually soak it in. TBH, I’ve never thought about the “afterwards”. This talk has made me want to use an Audible credit. Well done!
I recently visited the grave of Maj. Peuchen at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto ( a few other Titanic survivors are also buried there), and it was an interesting experience. This is the cemetery which has long been the place where the monied elite of Toronto are buried or interred (among others). There are many large monuments to the very wealthy and Maj. Peuchen's grave is very small, anonymous and sadly unkept, reflecting what Gareth was talking about with respect to how surviving the Titanic basically destroyed his wealth.
Very well done by the Author & host ! I look forward to more interviews and programs. I am joining from New Jersey, USA. I will check Gareth’s book on Catherine Howard, too.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, it’s much appreciated. You may find my previous interviews with Tracy Borman, Heather Darsie and Antonia Keaney of interest too. There is also another interview with Gareth coming out on 14th April, on this channel about the downfalls of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. - Philippa 😀
Fabulous interview. That’s my next purchase sorted! So refreshing to have a different take on this tragedy in the fact that it’s the aftermath. So many people would have suffered from ptsd, unheard of at the time. How could anyone have known when to get on or stay off the life boats? No one knew what was going on. In the end it’s human nature to survive. Such a sad part of history.
Thank you both for such an interesting and in depth insight into this event . Ive ordered the Audible version of your book , which I hope to start very soon . My great grandfather Andy Thompson Maitland , worked at Harland and Wolff shipyard as a joiner. We like to think he worked on the great ship but who knows ! Those we could have asked are long gone .
A headstone in Halifax cemetery................... Sacred to the memory of Everett Edward Elliott.....of the heroic crew S.S. Titanic died on duty April 15 1912 aged 24 years. EACH MAN STOOD AT HIS POST WHILE ALL THE WEAKER ONES WENT BY, AND SHOWED ONCE MORE TO ALL THE WORLD HOW EMGLISHMAN SHOULD DIE.
