Join us on Thursday, June 24 at 7 PM for Untold Stories of the Titanic: Last Port of Call, a virtual lecture by Sonia Joyce of the Titanic Experience Cobh, Ireland. The Titanic Experience Cobh is a museum housed in the original White Star Line Ticket Office. On the morning of April 11, 1912, the RMS Titanic dropped anchor in Cork Harbor. In this lecture, Ms. Joyce will tell the history of the town and introduce the story of the Odell and May family, who took some of the last photos of the Titanic. She also notes that the Irish passengers traveling in Third Class had a party below deck that included dancing and musicians playing traditional instruments. Niall O’Leary, a World Champion Irish dancer, celebrates the lives of the passengers with a special dance and spoon performance, as the presentation's finale.

This lecture is the tenth in our Noble on Watch (NOW) series and will premiere on the museum’s Facebook page or here on the website.
