THIS WEEK'S SHOW COMMEMORATES THE 100 ANNIVERSARY OF THE SINKING OF
THE TITAN. WE BROADCAST FROM THE HOME OF ONE OF SURVIVORS, SURROUNDED BY ARTIFACTS, S.O.S. SOUNDS, THE TITANIC FOG HORN, THE MUSIC AS IT SUNK AND MORE!
On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic embarked on its maiden voyage, sailing from Southampton, England, to New York City. One of the largest and most luxurious passenger liners at the time, the Titanic was also considered by many to be unsinkable. On April 14, however, the ship struck an iceberg, and early the next day it sank. Some 1,500 people perished. Because of the tragedy, the Titanic became perhaps the best-known ship in the world, capturing the public imagination and inspiring popular books and movies. After the 1985 discovery of its wreckage, interest in the famed liner only increased. Some 100 years after its sinking, the Titanic remains an enduring legend.
