Who’s to blame for the White Ship Disaster?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Sara Wile, Matt Roen & Xen (creators of the Midst Podcast series) to discuss the tragic circumstances around the White Ship Disaster in 1120. Was this a celebrating too soon kind of situation? Could the fact that hardly anyone knew how to swim during this time be part of the problem? Or maybe they were all underestimating the awesome power of The Sea? Fact checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
