‘Still the sea seems strewn’: The Mackay-Bennett and Titanic’s Bodies

I began researching this episode uneasy about what I might find, nervous; and while it is an incredibly somber and sobering part of the Titanic story, I was also shocked at how exhilarated I felt uncovering it, shedding light on the stories of the bodies found, what we can learn from them. Join me as I look at the story of the recovery ship the Mackay Bennett and the process of bringing some Titanic victims back ashore. The Mackay Bennett's fate is tied to Titanic's forever.  Halifax's story is as well. In the rows of graves there we find our grief, their grief, a part of the Titanic narrative that is too often ignored.To support the pod on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/unsinkablepodFor a list of sources, see my blog: https://www.unsinkablepod.com/blogTo purchase any of the books I mentioned in this episode and others, see my Bookshop lists: https://bookshop.org/shop/unsinkablepodLOTL: Queer ConversationWe all crave Queer Conversations.
