    Plight of the Peacocks

    Of the many things that the average person knows, or at least thinks they know about Titanic, the phrase “women and children first” is certainly among them. But if women and children first were the rule, then why did almost half the children on board Titanic die, including Treasteall and Albert Peacock? This episode features voice acting by Conor Charlton as John Collins. I am grateful to the Encyclopedia Titanica and Titanic Inquiry Project websites as invaluable sources of information. Titanic New Jersey is hosted and produced by me, Steven Schwankert, for Purple Medusa Productions. Arthur Jones is our executive producer. Our engineer is Alexia from Crow’s Nest Podcasts. Special thanks to our Patreon patrons Jacqueline, Jennifer Ambrose, Craig LaCava, and Kaiser Wilhelm III.

    Titanic, New Jersey, and me

    What is it with New Jersey? Titanic wasn’t headed there, wasn’t built there, wasn’t registered there, and didn’t sink there. Well, about 60 Titanic crew and passengers had New Jersey connections, in all three classes, and all over the ship, and over the course of this podcast, we’ll explore them all, especially the tale of a certain chief baker, with whom I have a historical bone to pick. But this time, we’re going to introduce yours truly, your unreliable narrator for the series.

    The Titanic New Jersey Podcast Trailer

    When Titanic sailed in April 1912, more than 50 of her crew and passengers had strong ties to New Jersey. Renowned architects, tennis stars, wealthy industrialists and even a couple of Nazi sympathizers. Many of them didn’t survive the voyage.  The Titanic New Jersey podcast heads up and down the Garden State Parkway in search of unsolved history. From Asbury Park to Trenton, from Paterson to Wildwood, we uncover stories of unimaginable tragedy and thrilling rescue. Along the way, we’ll seek Titanic memorials and memories throughout New Jersey. We’ll also pick a historical bone with one of the ship’s most legendary figures and see once and for all if Titanic’s greatest tale of survival is true. Titanic New Jersey is hosted and produced by Steven Schwankert for Purple Medusa Productions. Arthur Jones is our executive producer. New episodes appear on Mondays.
