TITANIC - The Missing Link
When Titanic launched in May 1911 it was a triumph for
two ambitious men: Lord William Pirrie, and his chief naval
architect –and nephew –Thomas Andrews.
In creating the ship both men drew inspiration from the family
patriarch Captain William Pirrie, largely forgotten now but a highly
successful 19th century transatlantic trader. In the centenary year of
Titanic’s launch his descendants reunited in Belfast to break a
longstanding family silence over the ship.
With exclusive access to family archive including a never seen before
image of Titanic, the documentary captures the family’s exploration
of their history including a visit to the former Pirrie residence in
London where the deal with the White Star Line was sealed and a
trip back in time to a whitewashed cottage on the west coast of
Scotland where the story of Titanic really began.
