NEW VIDEO: The Two Tragedies of the Marchioness

Added 2024-11-23 01:49:28 +0000 UTC

Hello deathlings,

We've been working on this video for several months, and it's a fun one. And by "fun" I actually mean "an absolute s*%tshow of incompetence from a dredger captain and a coroner that made a boating tragedy on the Thames a million times worse than it had to be. "

While researching for the Titanic book I came across the story of the pleasure cruise boat Marchioness. When I heard how the bodies were treated, the story became a bit of an obsession. Thank you to the whole team- including the ringers we brought in, the lovely maritime animators from the channel Oceanliner Designs–for helping me bring this obsession to life.

Thank you, as always, for letting me follow my interests and tell these stories. It is an honor.

Caitlin
