Sample event image Refreshments (tea, coffee and biscuits) followed by a talk by Stephen Goss: When news broke that RMS Titanic had sunk with the loss of 1,500 lives there was shock across the world. The impact of the sinking (as well as the conspiracy theories that emerged) are discussed, and the clandestine Cold War reasons for the ship’s discovery revealed. Stephen adds stories of his family connections to Titanic and the Belfast shipyards to explore her history and why Titanic is still claiming lives.
