What really happened the night the Titanic struck the iceberg—and how much of what we think we know is actually wrong? In this gripping episode of Truth Be Told, Tony welcomes renowned maritime historian Mark Chirnside from the UK to break down the myths, misconceptions, and overlooked truths surrounding one of history’s most infamous disasters. From the critical minutes after impact to the mistakes and decisions that sealed Titanic’s fate, Mark dives deep into the real timeline of events—and why the story is far more complex than Hollywood ever showed us. They explore the role of Captain Smith, First Officer Murdoch, and the controversial legacy of J.
