Shipwreck Tales NZ by Radio Live NZ

Episode notes

In this episode of Shipwrecked Tales, Graeme Hill is joined by John McCrystal to revisit the most famous maritime disaster of them all: the sinking of the Titanic. Beyond the familiar story of an iceberg and a doomed maiden voyage, they explore the ambition, technology, class divisions and human decisions that shaped the tragedy. From the ship’s construction in Belfast and the confidence of Edwardian engineering, to the wireless messages, lifeboat failures and rescue efforts that followed. It is a story of hubris, heroism and lasting change in safety at sea.
