The Titanic’s older sister hid some dark secrets!

This is no ordinary porthole. In today’s video, Justin from On The Square Emporium uncovers the unbelievable story of the SS Laurentic — a luxury liner turned wartime cruiser with a direct connection to the Titanic, a secret cargo of gold, and a chilling tale of murder on the high seas.

Built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast (just a mile from our shop!), the Laurentic sank off the coast of Northern Ireland in 1917 with 3,200 gold bars, 475 crew members, and one suspected serial killer aboard.
