Sunday’s event will dive into the experiences of passengers on the Titanic, from the two days spent sailing without incident, to the crash and tragic sinking, to the rescue on the Carpathia for those fortunate enough to survive

Area residents are invited to join an afternoon of storytelling on the anniversary of the tragic sinking of the Titanic. The Two Rivers Heritage Museum presents Peri Muchich, a local historian who has a particular passion for researching and shedding light on lesser known stories of remarkable individuals from the Pacific Northwest. 

Sunday’s event will dive into the experiences of passengers on the Titanic, from the two days spent sailing without incident, to the crash and tragic sinking, to the rescue on the Carpathia for those fortunate enough to survive. 

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!”

This program is presented by the Two Rivers Heritage Museum, and is being hosted by Zion Lutheran Church. Come learn about Mrs. Anna Warren, Titanic survivor from the Pacific Northwest, and the woman who helped her endure this tragedy.

Date: Sunday, April 12

Time: 2 to 4 p.m.
