Wow it's big enough that if you were actually on another sinking ship in this model just happened to be on it that you could probably cling to it for a while to stay afloat
Who was the moron that put this together? 9.30? How about Nine-thirty.? That is where I stopped playing the video. By the way Ismay would have had an English accent.😊
It was a clumsy question. He may have said, “ What material might an iceberg contain that might render it more difficult to see, especially at night” You see the ice in our freezer at home is made up of clear clean water. Ice in nature is likely to include rocks, solid mud, plant growth and the like and if the berg flipped over it might be showing a “dark” side to an approaching ship and not the clean white sight we are used to seeing. Hence it would be more camouflaged.
Its mind blowing to me that people cannot interpret his evasive corporate horseshit, for what it is. _Managing CORPORATE director_ _whos job it was to oversee and_ _MANAGE the entire ship_ Yet, cant manage to remember even a single thing. Ive heard the accounts from witnesses who were small CHILDREN who could articulate in better detail than this lying jerk. I dont buy for a single second that he wasnt on the job. "Oh I was totally off the clock and purely on the ship only for leisure" That lends to a much more convincing testimony for his RIDICULOUS evasive account of what happened. Someone "Only there for leisure" wouldn't be running to the engine room and back up to all of the Captains cheif engineers and the officers" "Only there for leisure" isnt parking his butt right next to the Captains in the grand decision making suite. Im supposed to believe that the Starliner Corporation doesn't deploy an executive officer to oversee its MAIDEN VOYAGE and to answer all of the press reporters to brag about their new product when they arrived and docked EARLY in NYC?!😂 Hes such a lying phony. HE WAS THERE TO MANAGE, and like every other phony corporate liar, he was micromanaging the Captains and instructing them to do dangerous stupid shit against all advice, and when the disaster happened he caught wind early and made sure to save his own ass. Hes a liar and deserved everything he got and worse B.s
Выжить для него было определенно смелым поступком, учитывая, что ответственность нести ему и разгребать последствия тоже 🤔 Ему было несложно предположить, что именно он персонально станет объектом травли, даже стоя на шлюпочной палубе и размышляя, садиться в лодку или нет.
Mr. Ismay seems to get a bad rap. Everything he's stated is absolutely true and he's not hiding anything at all. Very straightforward with all his answers. What's odd is that so soon after the accident that even he knew that if the Titanic would've just hit the iceberg straight on, it would've been fine. (Fine, meaning it would've stayed afloat).
The US Government should have sentenced Ismay to prison because he conveniently slipped back to England where he was tried in court. Politics in 1912 as it is in this day and age, the English Board of Trade had no intention of holding him accountable for his actions
I think how he was treated was horrible. Listen at those last moments it was every man for himself. I would have made my way down to the lowest part of the ship and dived into the water towards a life boat.
I can't help remembering what Walter Lord said about shipowners during the North Atlantic run, namely that they overpowered committee members of the British Board of Trade responsible for the lifeboat regulations talking them into not asking for boats for all because they thought it was too costly, for one, and then they argued that the new liners could easily override the storms that oftentimes engulfed ships in the past (especially before steamship companies). Ismay is on record for that too; he decided against full lifeboat capacity (for the Olympic and Titanic anyway) so he was himself party to wrongdoing. I know I know - I have totally heard that lifeboats were looked at as ferries between the sinking ship and the rescue ship. Come to think about that, though - much rather than get the crew tired by rowing lifeboats with no motors of their own back then - on the normally choppy and stormy North Atlantic - to the rescue ships, and then make them go back for more, wouldn't it have been far easier for rescue ships to come to the lifeboats, like the Carpathia did? :-D Also, by the time the boats made it back for more, the sinking ship might've been gone - with people still waiting on board So, ocean liners needed boats for all so all the boats could be lowered at the same time. Besides, the Titanic's sinking is proof that there weren't always other ships nearby to help if anything happened (I mean, in the Titanic's case there was the Californian but she was only one and she didn't bother).
Very impressive model! Doesn't look to be over seventy feet, as is the model from the movie, which survives as well. However I love the detail, working engine and did I mention the amazing detail?
The Titanic didn't carry the British flag on her stern. She carried the White Star Line Pennant. We know this because one of the survivors removed it from the staff as the ship went down. The pennant hangs in a museum in England.
Really awesome when I was in 7th grade I made a titanic model out of cardboard and toilet paper tubes for a class project 27 years later I still have model and also decided to make a model of the carpathia to
Ismay may not acted with honour, but they asked technical questions that were certainly beyond his field of expertise. A person might be a CEO of an airline but that does not mean they can fly.
belle maquette mais on peux y voir des erreurs , des aérateurs sont positionnés dans le mauvais sens derrière la première cheminée à tribord , des erreurs de peinture à la base de certaines grues .j'ai déja remarqué ces erreurs sur des maquettes au 1/400 du commerce .et l'emplacement des grues à l'avant (je n'ai pas le nom correct , peut etre l'écubier ) me parait un peu trop large ; dommage ça gache un peu le plaisir
You get the feeling from the US hearing that they had already made up their mind about Ismay, and all of the questioning was done to try and expose him as a coward, a liar and a businessman who wanted to achieve speed over safety. That is not a fair assessment of Ismay. The man has had too much mud thrown at him over the last 112 years.
Titanic historians and ship builders now believe that even if Titanic had enough lifeboats for everyone, she wouldn't have been able to launch them all. Remember it took an hour after the collision before the first lifeboat was launched. By 2.10am they were still trying to launch the collapsible boats. Imagine if by 2.10am they still had to launch another 20 boats. Those 20 boats would have been mostly destroyed in the final plunge.
You are probably correct. Because the training was hopeless and Captain Smith lost his nerve and gave poor instructions. His officers repeatedly approached him looking for instructions and eventually just took their own decisions. However there are two critical factors. With enough lifeboats Lightholler would have allowed men on the lifeboats. While steerage would have been allowed up to the boat deck earlier before most of the lifeboats had left. Would everybody have been saved? Almost definitely not. Would more have been. Almost definitely yes.
Ismay not only cut the number of lifeboats from 48 to 16, he actively campaigned to discourage treating Titanic as if it were subject to sinking and needing the lifeboats at all. It's little wonder then that Captain Smith canceled the lifeboat drill for the last morning of the Titanic's existence. Don't make self-fulfilling prophecies.
