- This week's witness is one of Titanic's most famous survivors. And as a Second Class passenger, he is also one of the most unique. In PART ONE, Lawrence Beesley's curious mind and tragic words take us aboard Titanic before the iceberg.
THIS EPISODE IS AUDIO ONLY
Welcome to WITNESS TITANIC, a podcast where we interview witnesses of the infamous Titanic disaster including modern experts, enthusiasts, and even the survivors of the sinking. Like the century-old inquiries that came before us, we may never fully determine what really happened on that cold April night but you may be surprised to find how close our efforts will bring us to Titanic herself...

I just found this pod cast a few days ago. I’m almost caught up!
Please continue these James! Great work!
Lawrence sounds like a person I would have love to have known. Thank you, James.
Epic. Absolutely epic. You really were tuning up for something big, and if Mr Beesley needs 3 parts to tell his story, give him all that he needs....thank you James!
Yeah I imagine he will need a part 2 for the sinking and Part 3 for the rescue
Fantastic that this podcast is covering Lawrence beesley! Really appreciate it.
Oh, this is going to be good.
Mr. Beasley is a prominent passenger and notably one of the few men from second class to survive.
I knew that going in and it is literally and 8% survival rate.
So nice to hear of his book and finding out from a second class passenger what happened that horrible night. I will be here for the next installment. Thanks for this channel.
A love story between a famous writer and someone who can't read! I'm sold. 😂
I read a little of Beesley's memoir about the sinking but did not get a chance to finish it. Excited to hear more about this VIP of Titanic history!
Very interesting this one James Beesley tells things in a very precise way he certainly makes you think he is probably more believable and totally honest than some who testified sure he was affected by all this but did not let that affect his view of what occurred, cool ,calm and collected you might say, thanks James looking forward to pt 2 x
Hi James! im writing this as i listen this episode in school.
Im fairly new to the titanic community, and ocean liner community in its entirety. Ive learned so much about both Titanic, and the people aboard her just from listening to this podcast on my spare time. I always come out of this podcast with more and more questions and fixations. Its so facinating to see all these perspectives of people. Tis podcast also helped me stay level headed while doing work in school or personal projects at home. I thank you for that🎀🎀🎀 Anyways, have a great rest of your day, Mr. Penca
PS. The expedition episodes are my personal favorite ones
I love Lawrence Beesleys detailed description. He makes mention in his book of seeing an engineer in the library excitedly discussing a new patent he had for an automobile part and was on his way to the US to show it to over there. That engineer was called Denzil Jarvis and he was from my home town of Leicester, England. A memorial cross is dedicated to him and stands in a churchyard at the bottom of my road.
I enjoyed this talk.
Always perfect, James. You should do the same kind of Interview with Edith Russel... Using her 1913 account. And your wife could voice her 😊
Thats a great idea!
Love this series, thanks James!
Very interesting as usual! Derbyshire is pronounced DARbyshire and Dulwich is like DULLICH as the w is silent 🙂
Thank you! I’ll mention this in part two!
Haha that’s correct. And in fact. For a lot of us in England, we don’t pronounce it “shire” either, we say “sheer”, so in fact Derbyshire would sound like Darbysheer
@@stuartcross5663 aye, I'm in Scotland and we say shrr for Aberdeenshire sometimes.
We'd say Darbysha up here in Yorkshire (yorksha)
Once had to attempt a Yorkshire accent for a play... hardest accent for an American to copy...
This was my favorite one so far!!
Oh good! I'm always worried the newest one isn't as good as the ones before it.
@@WitnessTitanic i’ve enjoyed all of them so far, but this one, Larry B. feels like a real person… probably because you’re using a novel he wrote and he was second class so if I was alive then, I could have seen him on the street that I walked down
Came back to say this is also the first we are hearing of the *New York* incident.
haha Thanks! I needed the reminder :)
@@WitnessTitanichappy to help. This is a great podcast.
Excellent! I don't know that I've read Beesley's book. Heading off now to see if I can find it.
And, yes, if it takes three (or four) sessions - by all means, do them.
Somewhat off topic question for you - what day was the last time Titanic saw land - 11th or 12th?
The entire book is here! www.gutenberg.org/files/6675/6675-h/6675-h.htm
And Titanic would have seen land for the last time on the 11th.
