"That Sinking Feeling: Michigan and the RMS Titanic" with Robert C. Myers of
the Historical Society of Michigan will be the debut presentation and will
take place on Wednesday, March 15, at 7 p.m. This presentation explores the
Titanic's history, her fatal maiden voyage, and the Michiganders who figured
into her story.

Michigan had more than a passing connection to history's most famous
maritime disaster. More than 60 passengers aboard the White Star liner were
either Michigan residents or immigrants bound for the Wolverine State.
United States Senator William Alden Smith, who was from Grand Rapids,
organized and chaired the United States inquiry into the sinking. Senator
Smith's inquiry and findings became the basis for new maritime safety laws,
including the requirement that ships carry enough lifeboats for all aboard.

The Historical Society of Michigan is our state's oldest cultural
organization, founded in 1828 by territorial governor Lewis Cass and
explorer Henry Schoolcraft. A nongovernmental nonprofit, the Society focuses
on publications, conferences, education, awards and recognition programming,
and support for local history organizations to preserve and promote
Michigan's rich history.
