Titanic's Fatal Flaw: Parks Stephenson

After five expeditions to the wreck of the RMS Titanic, maritime historian and naval expert Parks Stephenson presents a compelling and controversial perspective on how the ship truly met its end in the North Atlantic. Drawing on firsthand observations from the wreck site and decades of research into the legendary White Star ocean liner, Stephenson sheds new light on Titanic's structural flaws and reexamines the proceeding redesign and hull modifications. The discussion also covers the work of filmmaker James Cameron, who brought renewed global attention to the tragedy and its enduring legacy. Was it simply an iceberg collision, or did deeper structural failures and design decisions ultimately seal the ship’s fate on the ocean floor? This conversation explores Titanic history, wreck analysis, deep ocean expeditions, maritime engineering, ship design, iceberg collision theory, and the final hours of the ill fated voyage.#Titanic #RMSTitanic #TitanicSinking #TitanicDisaster #History #Shipwreck #Archaeology #DeepSeaExploration #HistoryDocumentary #HistoryPodcast
