About this episode
The episode covers the moment Titanic strikes the iceberg and the ensuing chaos as the crew attempts to manage the disaster.
First Officer Murdoch takes evasive action, attempting to swerve around the iceberg. As Titanic sustains multiple hull breaches, water starts flooding in. As chaos engulfs the engine room, Jimmy McGann and his pals do their best to shut down the engines. And the two wireless operators broadcast their first ever SOS… A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann. Featuring Stephanie Barczewski, Julian Fellowes, Clifford Ismay, Tim Maltin, Stephen McGann, Susie Millar.
