Think & Drink Series: The Sinking of RMS Titanic
April 2 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
On its maiden voyage, the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic on April 14th, 1912. While the story of the tragedy is world-famous, the granular details of how the disaster unfolded reveal a complicated series of events, decisions, and mechanical failures.
Join maritime archaeologist Caitlin Zant as she returns for an immersive breakdown of the night Titanic sank. This presentation provides a deep dive into the sinking’s timeline, from the first iceberg warnings to the moments before the ship disappeared beneath the waves forever.
