On Saturday, May 13, 2023 from 2-3:30pm in person in the Kingsley Room, join us for a lecture about the Titanic.
The RMS Titanic sailed in 1912. It was a magnificent ship, the largest moveable man made object of its time. Join John Cilio as he tells us stories from Titanic's construction, preparations for sailing, its crew and passengers. Hear how the courageous crew tried to keep the ship afloat until help arrived. Was it destiny or bad luck and misfortune that sank the Titanic - you can decide?
John Cilio has been telling the stories of history for over 15 years. As an historian and storyteller, he thrives on researching the ghosts of our past; uncovering the underlying forces and historical trends that one single event rarely impacts.
Like all Southbury Public Library programs, this program is free to attend and open to anyone regardless of town of residency. This program is sponsored by the Leroy Anderson Foundation.
