In this, the second of our dramatisations of witness testimony given at the British Wreck Commissioner's Inquiry into the Titanic disaster we hear from Fred Barrett, a stoker from Liverpool.

If you are interested in what happened in the bowels of the ship during the sinking his testimony is one of the very best. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
