Summary
On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with Harriet Strahl about the White Ship Disaster. A PHD student at Durham University, Harriet has done extensive research on the various accounts of the tragic event from different scholars at the time and lends an equally balanced 12th century and 21st century take on the problematic circumstances of this doomed voyage across the English Channel. Afterwards, Patreon subscribers can revisit the board with Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early and see if the verdict sinks or swims. Not part of the Patreon family yet?!
