To understand Titanic, you have to meet the people for whom she was built — and we mean ALL the people, not just the first-class men. Today on Witness Titanic, we call a witness with almost no Titanic knowledge to offer! Instead she introduces us to the astounding women of the Progressive Era who will one day fight for — and WIN — the right to vote in America... they just have to make it to America first...
We dedicate this episode to you, "oh sorrowing women of the disaster."

Last week, we heard of Ella White's escape from Titanic including her frustrations with a pair of "Stewards" who didn't know how to row a lifeboat... This week, we hear from one of those Stewards...
It was tradition onboard ships like Titanic to skip a certain unlucky number when labeling cabins, deckchairs, etc. Well, this practice clearly didn't make a difference, so please enjoy episode THIRTEEN!

Most onboard Titanic saw their story come to an end in 1912... the story of today's witness, however, was just beginning. After 112 years on the ocean floor, Diana was rediscovered, and though she may be an inanimate bronze statuette, she has so much to tell us.
This week, WITNESS TITANIC host James Penca dives into Diana's history, analyzes her new photographs, and recounts what it was like to witness her rediscovery during Expedition 2024.

Hello from the middle of the Atlantic! No new episode this week, so I recorded this quick bonus episode from the research vessel of Titanic Expedition 2024 to give you an idea of what it's like at 41.43 N 49.56 W. Things are going well, we are terribly busy, but I'm doing my best to stay present and keep Witness Titanic episodes coming!
Next week we will continue the investigation with the conclusion of Officer Lightoller's testimony.

Tue, 23 Jul 2024 - 20min - 5 - 05. Charles Lightoller - 2nd Officer - PART ONE
This week's witness is the most questioned of Titanic's 712 survivors. 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller remembers the sea trials, the delivery to Southampton, last-minute preparations and, of course, that fateful Sunday... but how truthful are his memories? Let's discuss!
NOTICE:
I'm told I have an odd way of saying the 2nd Officer's last name. I attempt to break this habit in later episodes!Passenger Ella White and author Gunter Babler are mentioned in this episode.

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 - 48min - 3 - 03. J. Bruce Ismay - First Class Passenger - PART TWO
Today we rejoin Bruce Ismay aboard Titanic for the collision, sinking and rescue. No Hollywood magic here. This is the Titanic disaster in a survivor's own words.
NOTICE:
I mention there is "no evidence" to say Ismay pushed Captain Smith to go faster. You may believe the experiences of passenger Elizabeth Lines would count as evidence. If so, I encourage you to listen to episode 26 where we call her to testify and hear what sheactuallywitnessed.I also mention the "toxic masculinity of 1912" and have received a handful of messages from listeners saying I am incorrect and/or the mention of toxic masculinity upset them. I would like to point out that many men that night, rather than fall short of the 1912 standard of masculinity, chose to die. So I find my use of the term appropriate in a terribly literal sense. It was this exact unnecessary behavior that led survivor Maggie Brown to begin calling for gender equality for women AND men. So to my listeners I say, be as manly or as unmanly as you would like, but board that lifeboat!----------------------------------------------

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 - 38min - 2 - 02. J. Bruce Ismay - First Class Passenger - PART ONE
Our inquiry's first witness is none other than Managing Director of the White Star Line and surviving first-class passenger, Mr. J. Bruce Ismay. In PART ONE of his testimony, he relays his unique experiences from Titanic's conception to the night of the sinking.
Stay tuned for PART TWO when Ismay recounts the collision, sinking and rescue.
NOTICE:
The testimony of passenger Elizabeth Lines is known to contradict some of what Ismay tells us in this episode. To settle this, we call her to testify in episode 26.I mention "300 feet of damage" around the 24min mark. This is an often repeated number but I should have specified that it's not one continuous opening but likely a series of small openings spread out along 300 feet of the ship.----------------------------------------------
