The Titanic Inquiry 2: Lady Duff-Gordon

The Mariner's Mirror Podcast - A podcast by The Society for Nautical Research and the Lloyds Register Foundation - Mondays

Categories:

In this, the first of four dramatisations of witness testimony given at the British Titanic Inquiry of May 1912, we hear directly from Lady Duff Gordon. A First Class passenger, and one of only two passengers interviewed at the inquiry (the other being her husband), Lady Duff Gordon was also one of only three women to give testimony. Along with her husband, she was also one of only two witnesses to actually request to be interviewed. Lady Duff Gordon's perspective, therefore, is unusual and significant in many ways and makes for riveting listening, casting an entirely new light on the tragedy. Hosted on Acast.
