Episode 03: Fire in the Hull!

From Did Titanic Sink?, 5:00 am on 13 September 2022

We've all heard of Titanic's sinking but few know that the ship was on fire the day it launched. Tim and Carlo discuss the long-running blaze in the lower decks, how much damage it might have caused and more chillingly, whether it was deliberately lit? Could an insurance-fuelled switch-a-roo really be at the heart of Titanic's downfall?
