The Baker: The Life and the Mythology of Charles Joughin

Join me as I take a look at the life of Charles Joughin, known in pop culture as "Titanic's Drunk Baker." It wouldn't be Unsinkable without a title myth-busting, would it? There's actually a LOT of myth-busting here. I examine his testimony about the events of the night of the sinking, recount the hardships and successes of his eventful life at sea, and question whether the alcohol in his system (which probably wasn't even that much, spoiler alert) did or didn't help him survive in the icy waters that night.For more on the food, drink, and food WORKERS aboard Titanic, see Veronica Hinke's The Last Night on the Titanic, available here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-last-night-on-the-titanic-veronica-hinke/1130204164Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unsinkablepod/LOTL: Queer ConversationWe all crave Queer Conversations.
