Titanic was the second of three ships. Learn the stories of these ships and what happened to them.

While almost everyone knows the tragic story about the RMS Titanic, few people may realize that Titanic was the second of three ships. Join historian and researcher Philip Vitiello Sr. to learn the stories of these ships and what happened to them. Included are stories of passengers traveling to Connecticut; a young local boy from New Haven, Roland B. Barnum, hearing some of the early distress call on his home wireless; and the amazing life of Violet Constance Jessop, who would survive the sinking of two of them.
