Although the fall of the massive vessel known as the Titanic is very much a tragedy. Within its story is hidden many inspirational lives. We will touch very briefly on several heroes that stood out above the crowd towards the end of the episode… but tonight’s main focus is going to be on a preacher who went by the name of John Harper. First we’ll dive into a hefty set-up looking at first the religious boom of the time and then we will uncover the origins of the “unsinkable ship”. Yes… that was one of its nicknames. Apparently instead of christening the ship with a bottle of wine,  they christened the Titanic with a heavy dose of irony. We’ll cover the details of why it was built and how.

After that we will go over a sad… but inspiring story of a preacher/father, his daughter and also his niece. And the tragic night that changed all their lives forever.
