Focusing on Titanic's safety features, and the heroic efforts of the engine room staff, who gave their lives in a bid to help evacuate the sinking vessel and summon help.

The team also explores the impact of the 1912 tragedy on the city of Southampton, which lost 549 of its citizens, who had been employed as crew. Last in the series.
