A Deep Dive with Parks Stephenson

Join hosts Tad Fitch and J. Kent Layton for a gripping exploration of maritime history with renowned researcher Parks Stephenson. A retired Navy veteran and Executive Director of the USS Kidd Museum, Parks brings unparalleled expertise from his extensive research and multiple expeditions to the Titanic wreck site. In this episode, we challenge long-held assumptions and dive into the technical mysteries of the world’s most famous shipwreck: * Engineering Icons: A comparative look at Titanic’s watertight bulkheads and design against its 1912 contemporaries. * The Collision Revisited: Could Titanic have experienced a grounding event in addition to the famous sideswipe? * The Ultimate "What If": Examining the physics and probability of whether the ship could have survived a direct, head-on impact with the iceberg. * The Coal Fire Theory: A fresh perspective on how the bunker fire impacted Titanic's stability—but in a way you likely haven't heard before. * From the Abyss: First-hand accounts from Parks regarding his submersible dives to both Titanic and USS Johnston.

episode A New Study of the Lifeboat Launching Sequence: Reexamining the Evidence cover

A New Study of the Lifeboat Launching Sequence: Reexamining the Evidence

Join hosts Tad Fitch and J. Kent Layton as they welcome fellow researcher Bill Wormstedt for an exclusive look at their upcoming paper, Titanic: The Lifeboat Launching Sequence, A New Study. Ahead of its April 10, 2026, release, the trio discusses a multi-year project born from a desire to critically examine an alternate chronology recently proposed by another researcher. By returning to the primary sources to reconcile conflicting accounts, they have worked to refine our collective understanding of the ship’s final hours and provide a clearer perspective on the launching sequence.  Rather than simply adjusting existing models, the team returned to the primary sources to reexamine their own chronology, which was developed with researcher George Behe. This methodical "back to basics" approach has yielded a wealth of fascinating new insights, uncovering subtle details and overlooked testimony that shed fresh light on the sequence of events during the sinking.  In this episode, the authors pull back the curtain on their research process and present a summary of their most significant findings. It is a must-listen for anyone interested in the technical history and the evolving narrative of the Titanic disaster. *Titanic: The Lifeboat Launching Sequence, A New Study, which is a book-length article, will be available for free on wormstedt.com, beginning on April 10, 2026.

episode Titanic: Newspapers, Testimony, and the Problem of Truth cover

Titanic: Newspapers, Testimony, and the Problem of Truth

Hosts Tad Fitch and J. Kent Layton are joined by fellow researchers, authors, and longtime collaborators Bill Wormstedt and Mike Poirier for a lively and thought-provoking discussion on historical research methods—and the ongoing debate over how the story of the Titanic should be studied and understood. Should historians rely only on official inquiry testimony and private letters from survivors, or can newspaper interviews and trade-press accounts also be trusted? Are later-in-life recollections valuable, or should researchers limit themselves strictly to statements given in 1912? What can be learned by comparing conflicting accounts from the very same survivor—and can we ever truly be confident that we know the full and accurate story of the sinking? Join the conversation as specific survivor statements—both credible and questionable—are examined, challenged, and debated, in a revealing search for where the truth really lies.
