Talk – “Lost Ship – Found”

By Dr Ian Friel

The talk is about some of the shipwrecks Ian researched as a historian – an English ship from the 1400s, a Dutch vessel from the 1600s, and a British passenger liner from the 1850s. The last of the three remains lost, and its story has odd resonances with that of the Titanic, nearly 60 years later.
With a lifetime’s enthusiasm for history and archaeology, Ian is committed to helping people appreciate how important it is to understand the past as a way of understanding the world. He has many years of research and writing experience, and a specialist knowledge of maritime history that ranges from the Middle Ages to modern times.
