The purpose of the interview was to get an expert on your topic to help you with your notes. This part was super hard for me and not being able to do most of this blog post the first time I saw it was harder. I am happy that I got it done and the person that I interviewed, Dr.Paul F. Johnston was really kind to let me interview him. I am very grateful that he allowed me to interview him.

The process of finding an interview was the hardest part. There wasn’t anyone that me, my parents, or people I knew that worked with the Titanic. Then I read one of my resources and found that there were many places to go to that involved the Titanic. But when I went back to tell my parents, they said that they found someone I could interview from a museum! His name is Dr. Paul F. Johnston and he is Curator of Maritime History, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institute. He was very kind. Also coming up with questions was hard. I wanted mine to be really good, but they all came out really bad.

The experience conducting the interview was okay. It went as planned because we did it on zoom. It was lagging a lot but it got better near the end. I learned that Dr. Paul F. Johnston works on more than just the Titanic. He works on many types of shipwrecks and  he is very talented and hardworking.

The interview was hard at first, but it got better as it went on. Thank you Dr. Paul F. Johnston.
