MIDDLETOWN, NJ — The Middletown Public Library will host local historian Greg Caggiano as he presents “The Titanic: 110 Years Later” on May 11 in the community room.

Caggiano will lead a program on the story of the Titanic, its voyage and sinking. The presentation will include an overview of passengers' life on the ship, a study of how the ship was constructed, and reasons why it sank.
