Muhich’s talk, titled Keeping Afloat: A Bittersweet Chronicle of Two Women Who Endured the Sinking of the Titanic, tells this story through the lens of a Pacific Northwest passenger on the Titanic, Mrs. Anna Warren, who lived to tell the tale.
This well-known story has new life and local focus as Muhich shares the experience of this brave woman, who found herself traveling first class on the Titanic in order to return home to the Pacific Northwest after an anniversary trip abroad with her husband.
Muhich says to expect, “A very personal perspective of a world renowned event!”
