Elizabeth Kaye – Lifeboat No. 8

Elizabeth Kaye, an award-winning author, offers a compelling and poignant presentation about one of history’s most dramatic and timeless events. This true and previously unknown story is based on her New York Times and Amazon @1 bestselling e-book and recounts the riveting saga of passengers who left the doomed “ship of dreams” on Lifeboat No. 8.

A central figure is the young and lovely Countess of Rothes, one of Titanic’s most distinguished passengers, who took command of Lifeboat No. 8, calming those who were hysterical or feuding, comforting the abruptly widowed, and ultimately manning the tiller, as she deftly steered the boat through icy, black waters, a valiant, resolute and unlikely vision in her ermine and pearls.

Despite all that has been written and portrayed about the timeless tragedy of the Titanic, Ms. Kaye is the first to focus on what happened when the lifeboats left the ship and passengers, newly roused from their opulent Queen Anne and Louis XV beds, found themselves in tiny wooden boats on the forbidding sea, staring up at the mightiest ship ever made and rowing away from her because she was sinking.

This unique talk, beautifully researched by Ms. Kaye, a Titanic expert brings to life the heart-wrenching drama of that unthinkable night and tells of how those hours in Lifeboat No. 8 changed the lives of everyone on board forever. The program includes a power point presentation of rarely seen photographs of the Titanic and the passengers of whom she speaks
