Manage episode 323899742 series 2932834
What if the events of the Titanic happened in the 1840s? Could the events of the Titanic have been prevented? As it turns out the answers is, no. Because they did happen on the William Brown in 1842. The similarities? An iceberg, in April, and a lack of lifeboats. The difference? The captain went down with the Titanic and it's likely due to the trial against Alexander Holmes that we have to thank for the difference.
This week join the ONUC gals as they discuss the sinking of the William Brown, how Alexander Holmes ended up on trial, and how the rules of seamen changed forever.
