Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Shelley Jory-Leigh have a special programme examining the impact of the loss of RMS Titanic, 100 years ago this week.

They hear from Southampton based Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) about their work implementing the government's maritime safety policy in the UK.

They also talk to Professor Ajit Shenooi who's director of the new Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute and Stephen Payne OBE to find out how Titanic's legacy is dictating the design of cruise ships today.

And Perry Simpson from Poole based RNLI has advice for mariners taking to the water for pleasure.

Also, our series previewing the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant continues with a profile of D-Day veteran HMS Medusa.

And from the archives, remembering the Portsmouth finish for first Whitbread Round the World race in 1974.

The H2O Show is also available as a podcast and you can get news and features from the programme on Facebook and via Twitter.
