11 Ways to Raise Titanic but Only 1 May Work 

Hey there! When was the last time you watched the movie ‘Titanic’?

From what I have heard the Titanic is so delicate from being underwater so long that any tricks to raise it would probably cause it to fall apart.

The only solution is to build a time machine to travel back in time and save the titanic with everyone in it.

Two problems: First, it’s a mass grave. Second, it’s been down there for more than a century. It’s very nearly reclaimed by nature at this point. You try to move it, it could very well fall apart. Memory serves, there have been incidents where well-meaning tourist expeditions have in fact damaged the wreck. Most of these ideas are silly anyway.

My idea was to build a giant dome around the titanic and filter the water out.

One thing I WISH to happen but will probably never happen is to see the wreck of the titanic wreak raised and preserved in a museum

Salvagers: Raising the Titanic is impossible! Bright side: *step aside nubs*

"The ship is its own memorial. Leave it there." -- Eva Hart, Titanic survivor Also the ship is too deteriorated to raise even if we could work around the moral problems with raising her

This titanic task keeps getting more and more unlikely. I think Robert Ballard in the 90’s q(the man who discovered the wreckage) was asked if the ship could be brought up. He said the ship was in bad shape and decades of being underwater didn’t help. Couldn’t imagine over a hundred years later after the sinking would help.

These theories are, in theory, possible. They’re just not possible in practice 😂 But seriously, they’re really cool

Bright side : 11 Ways We Can Raise Titanic Scientist's : OH WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!!!!!!

4:15 "3, 2, 1, stahp." That honestly killed me

I think the best option is the most obvious one (and the simplest). Build a floating donut-shaped island (not as difficult as you might think) and attach many many strong cables to the most sterdy parts of the ship, spreading them out across as much of the surface area of the ship as possible. Then slowly turn winches to pull it to the surface. Now, the problem with this is the ship is likely fragile from being under water for over a century and may break apart. But barring that likelihood, this is probably the best option.

It's no doubt too rotten to withstand being moved around, especially with all the water pressure in it and around it

It will be historic if it is possibly happens.

I don't think the makers of this video don't really realise how deep the wreckage actually is.

It didn’t sink right next to the iceberg like that. It actually went about two miles at a steady pace before sinking, and the forecastle was way more submerged. Plus, it didn’t snap in half like that, the front end was so submerged that the pressure pulled it apart, the front half fell incredibly fast pulling the back down with it almost vertically, the front snapped off of the back leaving it there to bob for about 30 seconds before it started flooding and sank, once the ship snapped in half, it only took around 2 minutes for the whole titanic to be underwater, leaving most passengers to float in their life vests and die from hypothermia, they drowned and froze together in a big group in the pitch black, middle of the sea. Absolutely terrifying

I think the titanic deserves its own under water museum 🤔

One or the other day, a technology will come and Titanic will be raised

As cool as it would be to raise the Titanic and save it, but we have to remember that the wreckage is also a grave site. So many people died inside of it.

I think that physically, the most realistic way to raise the Titanic is to dismantle it, deck by deck and retrieve individual steel pieces to the surface so they can be treated chemically and reassembled somewhere else with the help of a separate supporting structure, like the bones of a dinosaur.

I think BRIGHT SIDE is titanic obsessed .. just like me ❤️

We bigfoots never get on ships designed by humans

“11 ways to raise titanic but only one may work” *doesn’t tell us which one will might work*

Solution: We just cut into pieces that are salvageable. We use sub drones to pick up each piece. And then we capsulize each piece so that way it is protected from the water pressure upon the ascent to the surface. It would cost ALOT of time and money but it is honestly the easiest and most time efficient way of recovering the ship.

Love the comments but here’s the thing. Whether maritime law applies or not is pointless to argue because as the video shows, it’s difficult and none of these ideas would work. Second, someone commented someday someone will think of a way for it to be raised, but it might not even last that long. The 2019 visit to the wreckage showed that the sea life is eating and corroding the wreckage at a fast rate. The estimated that in 30 years, the wreckage would be completely gone. So if someone does think of something, they need to do it quick before the wreckage disappears.

This person is smarter than people trying to find it-

The Titanic is impossible to raise. The HMHS Britannic, her sister ship, however...

Does anyone remember the 1970's movie, "Raise the Titanic", where they supposedly did just that and towed it to New York Harbor? Unfortunately, at that time, they were not aware that the Titanic had broken into two pieces and could not have been brought to port intact! It's a great idea, but no longer practicable! p.s.( I have touched one of the steel plates of the ship when it was on display in Atlantic City & also own a piece of anthracite from the ship!)

Nothing is impossible, we thought going to mars was impossible shortly after the moon

That ship is huge, it's not going anywhere. But the next best thing would be to preserve it where it's at. Terraform the whole area around it. Perhaps in the future we can bring it up from the depths. If anyone does this I want full credit.

Now if they wanted to bring it up they should have thought about that back in 1912

Who else wants to go in titanic for all the loot over there😂

Whats amazing is for me to see Bright Side using 3D animation throughout the entire video.

Almost all talk about titanic but almost nobody talk about her sister ship who suffered the same fate 😔

For all of them, The R.M.S Titanic is way to delicate.

Make air bags that can withstand the pressure tie them around the titanic and wait for it to come up

I got a better idea, how about if we drain the entire Atlantic Ocean and then just take a big crane to pull the ship up?

No one should even consider raising Titanic! She would crumble if an attempt was made to raise her!! Leave her where she is, resting peacefully at the bottom of the Atlantic ❤️

I've always thought the one way to do it would be to manufacture a large box like container. It could be lowered in 2 sections & placed on either side of the wreck. Then once in place could somehow be attached at the top & bottom, allowing the ship to remain intact on the trip up.cables, airbags whatever would attach to the outside of the box. This way nothing would be lost during ascension

Bro, leave that grave yard alone. Leave those souls to lie in their final resting place. Its not necessary to raise that vessel. leave em be!

The titanic can’t be raised legally, even if was possible, due to international maritime law as it’s a protected maritime graveyard / resting place of the deceased.

I think(!) the Cussler book suggested using basically liquid urethane foam, carried in pressure-stable containers to the wreck, nozzle inserted directly into spaces that weren't structurally compromised but very vented to let water escape, and open the foam tank valve. Do that in EVERY resealable space, attach the inflatable aluminum tanks on the outside of the hull, and plant the charges in the mud and silt to break the Horrendous suction. That was "supposedly " enough the break her free and the foam inside, with the floatations bags outside, would raise the wreck. But now, with the hull in three major pieces, plus enough minor chunks that even a metal detector couldn't find them all, and the rusticles competing with the iron-eating bacteria for who will digest the hulk first - she's down, she's staying down, and it doesn't matter, because Byzanium isn't real anyway.

how about we temporary remove all the waters in the ocean?

Would love to see a "If the world didn't use money" video!!

I hope this happens in real life I’m a big titanic fan

Hey bright Side,for the ping pong ball idea,you might need titanium for the outside of the ping pong balls+titanium is a type of metal that has a ton of lightweight but is really strong.

If it's even possible I'd love it if they could take a massive wide angle shot of the ship/wreckage site. It'd be cool to see a full picture of the ship at the bottom of the ocean.

Great video, love your facts bright side😍🤗

I'm just fascinated of how frequent they upload

The only time the titanic will ever be brought up is in conversation. 🎤 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

“11 ways to raise the titanic, but only one way is even remotely close to being a way to raise the titanic”

The bottom of the ship would be deep into the seafloor. It'd be like a huge suction as it was being pulled up, plus the weight of the water over it. Much of it is rotting away, and it is in two halves. Both would have to be raised to complete the ship. And where would it be taken to, if both halves were successfully raised? It sure wouldn't look as it did in 1912.

It is not a matter of "Can we raise the Titanic", but rather "If we should raise the Titanic." I remember hearing (and agree) that the Titanic is like a grave site or last resting place for all those who did not survive.

My dream is to see Titanic being raised someday

So, I’m other words, it’s impossible. I like the freezing idea. The Titanic is too rusted and fragile to lift. The question is why would anyone want to?

I would try using multiple hooks around the perimeter of the ship's bottom, then thread steel cables from one side to the other then use a fleet of hot air balloons to raise it up. Its easier to manage things from the surface. If it takes adding another balloon each month to get enough lift then do it. But the process can be slow and methodical so you can get it out without damaging the ship.

I wish I could be smart like him but I luv him he knows everything almost

Historic Travels needs to see this

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!

This is quite a fascinating topic for a video ngl

What makes people think the ship wouldn't fall apart if you tried to move it?

better leave the wreck where it is but find ways to clean it with under water robots that would clean the hull and paint it with an anti fouling paint so it preserves it for longer, find ways to support the deck for it collapsing further. keep it as a underwater memorial to those who died on it don't take anything up from the site again.

Hey!!! Just replace the main engine under water and it will start automatically using petrol etc👍👍👍

Not to sound rude or start an argument but I dont understand why scientists and explorers keep messing with history. That ship is the final resting place of the deceased. So y'all just need to leave that ship alone and stop giving people ideas. Just like how people thought it was okay to take mummified pharaohs out of their tombs, this is not okay.

The big problem is that the water pressure down at the bottom of the ocean is extreme. Also, Titanic is buried in sand and in very poor shape as it is being eaten by bacteria called rusticals, so if we tried to lift it, Titanic would fall apart. Since we cannot lift Titanic, if only we could find a way to preserve her before she is gone

There are so many poor and hungry people in this world Use all those salvage money to help them Use it for better hospitals Leave Titanic alone Respect that place It's a sea grave for 1500 people

hey! i have an idea! leave it alone. its literally a maritime graveyard. it'd just be easier to build a replica as a floating hotel or something.

we all know that it’s impossible to raise the titanic since it’s been underwater for so long

It's soo hard to rise the Titanic due to the international law

The Titanic is so rusted and weak due to being under the water for over a century, that it is meant to dissapear by 2030. It's like attempting to recover a paper-ship, it just sort of melts.

Use big ballast tanks that were used to raise the Concordia and use cranes on a floating oil rig. They’re pretty sturdy

Please do a face reveal! I’ve been watching you for like 3 years now, and I’ve always wondered how you looked like

Wait a minute! What if we put a giant plate under the seafloor where the ship is and then lift it up?

Best thing we all could too is respect the people that died that night and leave there resting place alone forever

It's been down there so long that it would disintegrate as soon as it hit the air

By the time there's a viable option that could actually bring it up, it will have already be far beyond being worth the trouble. It will be gone within 2-3 decades anyway from now. People also theorize that there may still be bodies kept preserved inside deeper parts of the ship such as the engine room and inside the radio room where there hasn't been any animals able to eat the bodies and extremely cold water has kept the remains preserved like a freezer which is why the wireless radio was never recovered, as it's possible as soon as you open the door you would find remains. Leeave the ship alone, film what you want while she's still here, and let it go.

The only method that would probably work is to pump the water out of the Atlantic Ocean, raise the Titanic, and then pump all the water back xD

Amazing!

It’s been confirmed that it’s Impossible it could be raised but on the trip up the pieces would slowly break off until it’s nothing.

We would probably have to test it first. Maybe build a scale model of the wreck site to be as realistic as possible. Then use different methods of raising it to see which one is feasible. The only problem is the tests would be tedious... After we raise the model it might fall apart (if we make it as realistic as possible) so to test it again we would have to stick it back together like when James Cameron was filming the ships breakup scene.

You could probably build an exact working replica of the titanic for less than half the price of raising the original

The magnet part would even make any sense because we don’t have wires that could go at least 3000 m into the water which is how deep the titanic is

I’m gonna do those when I grow up

I wonder if it would be possible to build a metal sarcophagus around the wreck. Like completely around it essentially cutting and enclosing a chunk of the seafloor and titanic inside. The water could then gradually be pumped out and air pumped it and it would raise on its own. The box would have to be made out of a durable material and have support so it would not implode once the water is pumped out and air is pumped in and have tow mounts on it so it could be moved once it floats to the surface. Then once it is moved to where it needs to be they can just disassemble the sarcophagus and recycle the material they used to make it or turn the sarcophagus structure itself into a museum

0:05 titanic sinking accuracy is totally on fleek

This video was funny and very interesting. Great ideas though!

I have a great idea which probably is the most realistic one. They should bring down a huge pipe / tube that consist of 60 sections which every section has a diameter of at least 200 meters and a length of 50 meters totalling 3km reaching down the bottom and surrounding the ship. The tube can be made out of thick aluminium, steel or even glass. As its round it would hold the extreme water pressure. After its sealed at the bottom they can start pumping out the water. After that you will have a 3km deep and dry hole with the ship at the bottom.

It’s not possible guys .No way this ship can be brought up after being under water for 100+ years . It’s obviously so delicate that just by moving it slightly from the ocean floor it’ll fall apart . Or by the time it reached the surface it’ll look like a pile of dirt. Crumbling like a wet cookie in a cup of milk. But it would be cool to see if it was possible

i like how the thumbnail of the video shows a minecraft titanic

On one hand I'd love to see it preserved in a museum. On the other hand it's a gravesite for so many people so should be left be

As much as many people would love to see this once stunning ship raised I'm afraid it's far to gone, it would also just simply crumble to bits, personally myself I would also love to see her raised but I'm sure it's impossible and right now even with today's technology we just don't have the resources

To be honest, it won't be raised, sadly, it's just to big,heavy,and weak because it's to damaged and bulky, it would be better to just not risk breaking the wreck (My opinion)

I did have an idea a few years ago that wouldn’t work but thought I’d say it anyway, if the wreck was covered in a strong material like an object in a display case, drain the water, construct a elevator to go up and down, and maybe find a way to attach a base to the “display case” and bring it up

I want it raised. Been waiting for 110 years! Sick of waiting. Raise it

The ice way is the only way to raise it other than cutting it up and bringing individual pieces up. If you adjust the ice idea a bit it would work. You wouldn't release the liquid nitrogen instead you would have multiple hollow loops filled with watter to stop them from collapsing under the pressure. You affix these loops all over the ship. In the areas where it seems the mist structurally sound. Next you apart pumping liquid nitrogen from the surface down through the loops and back up to the surface. This will cause ice to start to form on the loops keep pumping the liquid nitrogen through as more ice starts to form on the loops eventually the ice will start to form on the surfaces of the ship as well. Keep doing it until the entire ship starts to be coated in ice from the underside. You don't want a cage arround the ship you want the ship it self to become ice. Next if you can't find a ship large enough to bring it to the surface go find a large ice berg in the area tow it above the wreck and afix machinery onto the iceberg. Use it to lift the ship. You don't need enough ice to lift the ship on it own you just need enough to take some of the stress off the structure while cranes lift it.

This was a video about a bunch of nothing. Great work. I watched and you got paid.

Leave it alone. The Titanic is a sacred underwater museum now.
