Titanic was an international vessel that became an international sensation. Despite this, her stories can be inaccessible if you don't speak the right language. This week, we hear the testimony of a bilingual Titanic researcher working to bring English stories to Italy and Italian stories to our podcast.

BONUS EPISODE! Join me in the weeds for a FIFTH newspaper article recounting Charles Dahl's escape from Titanic. And in the spirit of hyper-fixation, let's rank the articles by the likelihood they actually contain Mr. Dahl's testimony.

Big thanks again to Johannes Kristian Dahl for sending me the article that inspired these episodes.

And thanks to Jørn Magnus Karlsen for providing me with a better photo of Charles to use for this episode's cover art!

This week, we dissect the testimony of a passenger who overheard a private conversation between Titanic’s villainous owner and push-over Captain the DAY BEFORE the disaster. It’s the most damning known evidence against Bruce Ismay and his demand for speed records… At least, that’s how the story goes…

Let’s see what our witness actually heard.
