In this episode of The Compendium, we're jumping onboard the highly requested Titanic! This is the first episode of our two-part series, where we delve into the ambitious conception of the RMS Titanic and the enduring stories of its passengers and crew that make this Titanic story unforgettable.

Today, you'll learn about key figures like J.P. Morgan and Bruce Ismay, whose dreams and ambitions led to the construction of what was then the largest and most luxurious ship ever built. We'll explore the history and timeline of the Titanic, from its launch in Southampton to its ill-fated maiden voyage destined for New York.

We also bring to life the experiences of the Titanic's passengers and crew, from the elite millionaires in first class to the hopeful immigrants in third class.

Join us as we uncover the artifacts and tales that survived, and prepare to load all the luggage and passengers onboard as we get ready for the Titanic's maiden voyage in episode 2.
