What If: Robert Ballard Never Found the Wreck of Titanic? (with Pablo O'Hana)

from Unsinkable: The Titanic Podcast · host L.A. Beadles

Join me and Pablo as we reflect on the wonder that swept the world when the shipwreck of Titanic was finally found in 1985 by Robert Ballard, and how it changed not just history books, but our own lives. We dive into a fascinating “what if”—imagining a world where Ballard never found the wreck. We discuss how the cultural history of the Titanic would be completely different: museums in Belfast, Southampton, Cobh, the United States might never have opened, millions of people may never have become enamored, and the ship’s story might have faded into obscurity. This series is a study of the world’s enduring connection to the Titanic.Support my work on Patreon, or consider leaving a review on Apple or Spotify!
