About this listen

Join us as we set sail on a voyage that spans the literary and historical; exploring the fascinating, glamorous – and sometimes dark – world of the ocean liner in Professor Faye Hammill’s Ocean Modern research project.

Professor Hammill shares how the power and public fascination with the ocean liner has been captured in literature; and how real ocean liners - some even built on the Clyde – along with their crews and passengers – have been documented, commemorated, and mythologised.

Join Professor Hammill and Cia as they explore literature, archival material, and even the role played by Glasgow’s own shipyards.
