The HMS Victory Story: On 7 May 1765 HMS Victory was floated out of Chatham s Royal Dockyard. Over the years to come she would become the most famous flagship in the Royal Navy, and of course achieved everlasting fame as the flagship of Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson in Britain s greatest ever naval victory, the defeat of the French and Spanish at the Battle of Trafalgar. Head of Historic Ships, Andrew Baines, takes us on a unique tour of the ship, outlining how Victory functioned at sea and in battle. How they fed themselves, where they lived, how they were disciplined, and how and why Victory became the deadly fighting machine that played such an enormous part in so many historic battles. Our story culminates in the Battle of Trafalgar and the moving death of Vice-Admiral Nelson. It is an extraordinary story, superbly told. Titanic - The Shocking Truth explores the conspiracy theory that the Titanic never sank to the bottom of the Atlantic. Evidence is documented to support the theory that the Titanic and her sister ship, the Olympic were swapped and the weakened Olympic tragically sank. Review evidence and reports of the day that show the Titanic was never ready for sea by the time of her maiden voyage. Analyse the motives of the unscrupulous owners of the famed White Star Line to see if they swapped the twin ships which were built side by side. Investigate a scheme to secretly recoup the losses from the disastrous early history of accidents involving the Olympic. Find out if White Star Line scuttled the imposter ship for financial salvation not realising the tragedy they would unleash. Were White Star Line and the British government responsible for possibly one of the greatest frauds and sea tragedies in living history? [show more]
