Join hosts Tad Fitch and J. Kent Layton for a gripping exploration of maritime history with renowned researcher Parks Stephenson. A retired Navy veteran and Executive Director of the USS Kidd Museum, Parks brings unparalleled expertise from his extensive research and multiple expeditions to the Titanic wreck site.
In this episode, we challenge long-held assumptions and dive into the technical mysteries of the world’s most famous shipwreck:
- Engineering Icons: A comparative look at Titanic’s watertight bulkheads and design against its 1912 contemporaries.
- The Collision Revisited: Could Titanic have experienced a grounding event in addition to the famous sideswipe?
- The Ultimate ”What If”: Examining the physics and probability of whether the ship could have survived a direct, head-on impact with the iceberg.
- The Coal Fire Theory: A fresh perspective on how the bunker fire impacted Titanic's stability—but in a way you likely haven't heard before.
- From the Abyss: First-hand accounts from Parks regarding his submersible dives to both Titanic and USS Johnston.
Don't miss this deep dive into the mechanics, myths, and modern discoveries of maritime history.
