Episode 218 - This Week in History : Titanic + Lincoln

Listen Later

We are excited about a new regular segment that we will be presenting titled "This Week in History."

Our very own history-loving librarian Jim Ward will join us to discuss historical events that happen to take place around the same time...but years apart.

This week, Jim chats about the Titanic disaster, which took place on April 14-15th, 1912 and coincidentally the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, who was shot on April 14, 1865 and died a day later.
