319 // Titanic Obsessions w/Daniel Stone

Welcome to Crawlspace. In this episode Tim Pilleri & Lance Reenstierna speak with Daniel Stone about his new book, Sinkable. In Sinkable, Daniel spins a fascinating tale of history, science, and obsession, uncovering the untold story of the Titanic not as a ship but as a shipwreck. He explores generations of eccentrics, like American Charles Smith, whose 1914 recovery plan using a synchronized armada of ships bearing electromagnets was complex, convincing, and utterly impossible; Jack Grimm, a Texas oil magnate who fruitlessly dropped a fortune to find the wreck after failing to find Noah’s Ark; and the British Doug Woolley, a former pantyhose factory worker who has claimed, since the 1960s, to be the true owner of the Titanic wreckage. Daniel is a national bestselling writer on science, history, and adventure. He's a senior editor for National Geographic and a former White House Correspondent for Newsweek. He's a professor of environmental science at Johns Hopkins University. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2154901/daniel-stone/ https://www.danielstonebooks.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Sinkable-Obsession-Deep-Shipwreck-Titanic/dp/B09MVCQ74Y https://www.amazon.com/Food-Explorer-Adventures-Globe-Trotting-Transformed/dp/1101990589/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Follow Daniel on Twitter: https://twitter.com/danenroute Daniel mentions Project Azorian in this interview.
