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!

It's well known that women had a better chance at surviving the Titanic disaster than men, but have you ever actually heard from one? Allow me to introduce you to Ella.

Most of those onboard Titanic saw their story come to an end in 1912... Diana of Versailles' story, however, was just beginning. Last month, she was rediscovered after 112 years on the ocean floor, 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.
