One hundred and fourteen years after its sinking, the Titanic remains a source of fascination and one of history’s major cautionary tales. Via Zoom, Elizabeth Kaye tells the riveting story of what happened to passengers after the “unsinkable” ship was fatally wounded by an iceberg. We’ll focus on women who boarded Lifeboat No. 8 and found themselves adrift in the icy, open sea, in the dead of night. These women were led by the Countess of Rothes, who calmed other passengers and manned the lifeboat’s tiler, a determined, valiant figure in her ermine coat and heirloom pearls. Her story, and those of other passengers, makes this timeless saga totally new, and compelling.
