Don Lynch is a renowned author and historian, Ken Marschall is the celebrated artist and Titanic visual historian... together they assisted James Cameron on his 1997 film, they dove to Titanic on multiple expeditions, and they brought us the must-have book "Titanic: An Illustrated History."

This live testimony was recorded during our four-day Titanic Anniversary Weekend onboard the RMS Queen Mary. Join us in 2027!
