The latest episode of #History Bites looks at the war memorial at #EdinburghWaverley railway station. So many names it is hard to imaging them all being stood in front of you. #scottishhistory #scotland #warmemorial @Britwarmemorial youtube.com/shorts/Zmef3PL…

It is always great to see my latest history page in the @bridlingtonecho , this December's edition talks about William Becker and the 1917 Halifax explosion. #bridlingtonecho #halifaxexplosion1917 #bridlington #albertmedal #hero #author #blueplaque #history #ssmontblanc #halifax

#OnThisDay 1941 Battleship HMS BARHAM struck by 3 torpedoes from U-331 in the Mediterranean. She capsizes to port & sinks within 4 mins after a massive explosion. 862 men were killed from a ships company of over 1200. I cannot imagine the terror of those 4 minutes.

Thrilled to get my proof copy of Titanic - The Movie Ships through the post today! #titanic #movieships #history #maritimehistory #ships #liners #raisethetitanic #athinai #asturias #rmsqueenmary #caparcona #anighttoremember #sostitanic #shipwrecks #historical #author #research

Who was Norman Fowler? This is my mission at the moment to find out more about a young man who died on board a raft in the Atlantic after initially surviving the sinking of his ship, the Lulworth Hill. #sslulworthhill #normanfowler #shipwreck #merchantnavy #bridlington

This December's @ShipsMonthly has three parts dedicated to the #Titanic, one of which was written by myself talking about the ships of the Titanic story, a combination of 1912 and modern day vessels that have been instrumental in the history of this tragic yet iconic #liner.

The front cover for the upcoming book on the ships used in the Titanic movies has been released today. Official publishing date is 1 December 2025. #titanic #movieships #rmstitanic #history #maritimehistory #oceanliner #author #books #publishing #historical #maritime #research
