This week, we interview Tomasina Ray, Director of Collections (and now President) of RMS Titanic Inc. She literally witnesses Titanic every day as she oversees the 5,500 artifacts recovered by RMST. She is also a member of the 2024 Expedition team - but she doesn't know it at the time of recording!

Video of this interview is available on YouTube!

Hello from the middle of the Atlantic! No new episode this week, so I recorded this quick bonus episode from the research vessel of Titanic Expedition 2024 to give you an idea of what it's like at 41.43 N 49.56 W. Things are going well, we are terribly busy, but I'm doing my best to stay present and keep Witness Titanic episodes coming! 

Next week we will continue the investigation with the conclusion of Officer Lightoller's testimony.
