"Oh No, Not the Titanic!"
Felicity would like you to welcome John Wilson, who is the first of our PMF Members to present a talk and presentation for us.
With Poole being just down the road from Southampton, John will be asking us why there is so much fascination in what happened to RMS Titanic 111 years ago and will be asking us whether RMS Titanic is worthy of all the attention in the maritime world, does she live up to the facts?
