The Titanic Provenance Files: History Through the Evidence She Left Behind
How do we know what we know about Titanic?
The Titanic Provenance Files is a Titanic history podcast that goes beyond retelling the familiar story to investigate the evidence behind RMS Titanic.
Through artifacts, documents, eyewitness testimony, photographs, books, films, and conversations with leading Titanic researchers, host Damon Henrichs traces how the history was discovered, disputed, reconstructed, and remembered.
Each Case File takes one object, source, or story and asks what it can really tell us about the ship, the people aboard her, and the night Titanic was lost.
The story of Titanic, told through the evidence she left behind.
