Starting today! Titanic: History and Legacy
Our exciting new online course starts today!
On 15th April 1912, the RMS Titanic sank on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City after striking an iceberg. The disaster saw 1517 passengers and crew perish, while 706 survived. The shocking tragedy quickly became a news sensation, triggering books, movies and TV adaptations. But what is the real story of the Titanic?
We’re delighted to offer a new online course that sets the story of the Titanic within its global and historical context to explore the social history of those on board, the cultural impact of the sinking, and the far-reaching influence of the Titanic legend.
Lead by a team of expert tutors, including Gareth Russell (The Ship of Dreams), Stephanie Barczewski (Titanic: A Night Remembered), Mark Glancy (The New Film History) and Duncan Barrett (The Girls who went to War), this four-week online course will go beyond the headlines to investigate its complex history.
