This is the story of how Maud Mary of Liverpool missed the boat and lived to tell the tale. Not just any old boat — the Titanic! A widow with three young children, Maud purchased four tickets on the maiden voyage of the most unsinkable ship of all time! But circumstances prevailed and thankfully Maud and her children were made late for their seeming date with destiny on April 15, 1912. Now her tale of survival passed down by three generations of family is destined to be conveyed in this charming short film by filmmaker Geraldine Carr, Maud’s great-granddaughter.
