Description

Based on an article written by Ray Hanania for Middle East Monitor (as well as many other articles on the subject), this presentation tells the story of the Arabs on the Titanic, where they came from and why they were making the journey to the United States of America. From this, we look at theories about their time onboard, some heartbreaking personal stories and also learn more about the Arab community in the USA at that time.
