We now call to the stand Günter Bäbler, a Titanic researcher and author so dedicated to understanding Titanic, he once kept a Junior Officer's sleep schedule of 4-hours-on and 4-hours-off for a whole week. His book “Guide to the Crew of Titanic” is a staple in the Witness Titanic library. This week, we ask him about all of this and more!

BONUS EPISODE! Join me in the weeds for a FIFTH newspaper article recounting Charles Dahl's escape from Titanic. And in the spirit of hyper-fixation, let's rank the articles by the likelihood they actually contain Mr. Dahl's testimony.

Big thanks again to Johannes Kristian Dahl for sending me the article that inspired these episodes.

And thanks to Jørn Magnus Karlsen for providing me with a better photo of Charles to use for this episode's cover art!
