À propos de cet audio

The extraordinary true story of a mother's dedication to reveal the lies, deceit and corruption, which surround her son's untimely death

In 1985 Mark Litchfield, ex-Naval Officer, millionaire, member of Lloyd’s, asked Nicholas Ridley, Transport Minister, to allow his ship, the Marques, to enter the Tall Ship’s Race without an inspection. Fatally, Ridley agreed. His decision was the start of a series of events that ended in the tragic sinking of the Marques and the death of 19 people. Unbeknownst to Shirley, her 18-year-old son, Ben, was one of them.

Following the tragic death of her son, Shirley went through further torment throughout the investigation, cover up and court case. She dedicated her life to finding the truth, despite harassment by the media, claims that the wind was to blame and her grief, Shirley never stopped fighting for justice for her son. Her strength, motivated by love for her son, kept her going even after years without the truth.

This story follows the challenging days, months and years after the tragic event, highlighting the struggles of Shirley and her family as she works tirelessly to piece together the full story. Despite the turmoil and pain, Shirley's commitment acts as glimmer of hope in an otherwise hopeless situation.

Now, years later, at the age of 94 Shirley shares Ben's story and uncovers the incompetence, secrecy and duplicity that surround the tragic and avoidable event.
