  • Kelly Skwarcan - Author | "Iron & Ice: The Full Tale of Titanic"
    Sep 24 2024

    Author Kelly Skwarcan joins "Titanic: Legacy" podcast host Paul Carganilla to talk about Titanic and her book "Iron & Ice: The Full Tale of Titanic".

    ABOUT "Iron & Ice: The Full Tale of Titanic"
    "The Titanic arose from the Belfast gantries as the crown jewel of her time, the conqueror of the ocean itself. During her maiden voyage, seasoned first-class personas sparkled, humble third-class immigrants anticipated a fresh start, and stokers sweltered in the bowels of the engine room’s grit and grime. Amidst all this buzz, a competent shipbuilder stood, worrying over the compromises his shrewd superior insisted upon.

    Iron & Ice: The Full Tale of the Titanic is sure to captivate both those with no prior knowledge of the ship and long-time enthusiasts. Narrative in nature, character-driven, and tastefully detailed, Iron & Ice is set apart by its exploration of previously-glossed-over topics and its fresh perspective on familiar ones. This book explores the Titanic’s “best-of” narratives, divulges little-known facts, and simplifies pedantic technicalities to render the iconic tale engaging and meaningful to the modern reader.

    With Iron & Ice, readers embark on a spellbinding journey that begins before the Titanic’s first sketches and ends over a century later in summer 2023. As one of the first books to connect the eerie parallels between OceanGate’s Titansubmersible’s implosion and the Titanic disaster, Iron & Ice forges new ground, enthralling readers all the while."

  • Brad Payne - Author | "11:40: Analysis of Evasive Manoeuvres & Damage Assessment on RMS Titanic"
    Jul 16 2024

    Host Paul Carganilla sits down with author Brad Payne to talk about Titanic, inspiration, and his book: "11:40: Analysis of Evasive Manoeuvres & Damage Assessment on RMS Titanic".

    ABOUT "11:40: Analysis of Evasive Manoeuvres & Damage Assessment on RMS Titanic'":
    A new in-depth study into those pivotal moments, both leading up to the striking of the iceberg, and across those crucial minutes afterwards, during which the fate of Titanic, and the 2,208 souls aboard, was realized

    At 11:40pm on April 14, 1912, Titanic collided with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic and began to sink. From the moment the iceberg was spotted, the ship was on a collision course with destiny, with the immediate aftermath of the collision becoming a race against time for those on board to inspect the damage and determine Titanic's fate. In this new study, the events of both the evasive maneuvers and the subsequent damage assessment are broken down, order by order, moment by moment, giving a forensic analysis of these crucial events. In doing so, with the backing of an exhaustive collection of both historical and modern data, along with over twenty years of personal research by Brad Payne, facts are separated from myths and the most accurate truths about what really happened aboard Titanic during these critical moments are revealed.
