This Day in Disasters, Shipwrecks & Survival

Five minutes a day on the disasters, shipwrecks and survival stories that happened on this date in history. Each episode brings two stories, from storms and great fires to ships lost at sea and expeditions against the odds: the people who lived through them, the rescuers, one vivid detail, and what changed afterward. Every episode is researched from reliable sources, listed in the show notes, and told with respect for those who were lost. A new episode comes out every morning.
