Final 10 minutes of Titanic! 

hes a good story teller and knows his stuff. i stutter, pause and just terrible at making speehces. have to read off a script for my own videos lol

Sometimes a few new details are told I think it's worth it.

It’s blown my mind how many new details about the ship That have emerged since I had my episode of obsession of the ship as a kid a decade ago

You’re jinxing it he will soon be scraping the bottom of the barrel unless he researches other stuff

Thats so true. Titanic is a hell of a drug

Thinking about the fight to the death those men held their own in for so long gives me chills every time. The firemen absolutely deserve more credit in the Titanic story

Yes!! Because of them the sinking took an hour longer than it was supposed to. I read somewhere that Titanic should have sunk within an hour like Britannic, but because of engineers working on pumping out water from compartments and preventing boilers from exploding delayed the sinking. They are such heroes I'm both sad and proud of them.

And most of them sacrificed their lives for that extra hour

They extended a predicted "1 hour, 2 at most" to 2 hours and 46 minutes, almost a full 3 hours.

Good call, I watched this yesterday On RU-vid search “The Engineers who died to keep the Titanic’s lights on” The link is below ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xZwzqmRJB4I.html

robert ballard is a genuis hes found other shipwrecks as well i wonder if hes still alive today i wonder if today he still is finding shipwrecks

@@DarthVaderReturns1 Dr. Ballard, 79, is alive and well and resides in Wichita, Kansas. He’s still exploring the oceans and has written many books on the subject.

I imagine the hair stood up on the back of his neck when he saw those shoes.....the photos I saw of them I found to be disturbing.

@@taraswertelecki3786 The most powerful were the women’s boots , still laced and tied, next to pairs of children’s shoes, still buckled.

@@LDDavis911 Meaning they fell 12,500 feet to the sea floor while still on the feet of their owners. Imagine the horror that would have greeted Ballard if he located the wreck site days after Titanic sank.

That survivor’s name was Frankie Goldsmith.

@@Maniac61675that's crazy thanks I'll look him up

Yeah, sometimes it is so hard to imagine this happening to real people

When I’m learning about this topic, so much information comes out that I sometimes have to stop and remember all these tales of tragedy and heroism all happened on its first voyage.

This is very sad!!!

You may be right.

That’s an interesting thought

And would feel like the ship was rising out of the water if you were standing on the boat deck.

Titanic Animations did address this in his debunking V break theory video where the Titanic coming back to an even keel looked like the bow was rising out of the water.

Exactly. The bow did NOT lift out of the water -- even "briefly." It would have been physically impossible.

I love this comment and you are 💯 % right about Sam his channel is absolutely great and factual I've learned so much watching his content.

Yes. I would love a story about them, too.

That story is absolutely heartbreaking, I’d love to see this too.

Thomas Andrews had 8 of his assistants with him on the maiden voyage. Nothing is ever said about them. None survived. It would be an interesting story to know what happened.

@@1940limited Yes, the Guarantee Group. I would like to hear more about them, as well.

@@kellydaunis I bet Sam can sniff out the details if any are in existence anywhere.

That reminds me of another male survivor who went to a football game and the cacophony of the cheers and shouting triggered post traumatic memories of the thousands of screams he heard while the ship was sinking. He avoided all sporting events after that.

It’s still amazing really that they were able to save 500 people could saved more probably but 1500 people died that’s insane

@@ryans413 712 survived and 1,496 died

There was also this story about a woman who also survived the sinking of the Titanic who was in a church at a mass, suddenly people began to sing "Nearer my God to thee" and at that moment she began to remember the horror she felt that night when the Titanic sank while that song was playing. She couldn't take it anymore and ended up leaving the church, horrified.

Me too

Glad you enjoyed it!

i disagree, as the 2nd funnel fell to starboard, not forward

@@frank4925 exactly, thats what I was gonna say

I visited, it was a great experience. I’ve just discovered this channel too. Learning so much!

One survivor, (who was a child in a lifeboat,) said in an interview that, right after the ship was gone, the sound of people in the water screaming was the worst sound she had ever heard. But then, after a little, while, she realized that the silence after the screaming stopped was worse.

Follow the chief bakers example. Get drunk and keep your head dry.

I thought the same, find deck chairs, or go into rooms and find wooden headboards, etc. Tie it all together with bedsheets and curtains, and you should be able to float.

Have fun building your Titanic. I have a Titanic, too, but it came already assembled.

Agreed. When I watch the movie, I skip all of the Jack and Rose nonsense. I mean, who cares? That was a predictable, contrived romance that can be found in many other movies. Yawn.

Most of the 3rd class passenger who survived could speak and read English. Below decks, it was a maze of corridors and all signs were only in English. I cannot imagine what it would have been like to have been a 3rd class passenger who can’t speak or read English, trapped in a maze of corridors and the water level is quickly rising.

@@devastator6570 Mazes is right. I’ve “walked” through Titanic: Honor and Glory’s MegaDemo and I actually got lost a number of times while walking about the ship. Heck, I STILL get lost in some parts of the ship.

"However, not all gates were locked as shown in James Cameron's movie" Not only that-the gates shown in the 1997 film didn't even exist. The only gates of that kind were for the pantries. Mainly it was doors that separated the classes, generally with signs saying "Passengers not allowed beyond this point" or "Crew Only". That leads me to believe that those doors weren't even locked. The few gates that did exist to separate classes were only waist-high and could be jumped over in an emergency, but they also likely weren't locked. WSL wasn't much of a stickler about segregation in that regard; these barriers really only existed to comply with US immigration laws. Thomas Andrews himself probably would have even invited some third class passengers to dine with the wealthy elite in the first class saloon had the law allowed it.

Not all the gates were locked in Cameron's movie. Go back and watch and you will see some open gates.

@@LordAmerican No, there were gates similar to those seen in the film. I worry at times that people who are wanting to "debunk" Cameron's film are creating their own modern day myths and even making information up just because they don't want to acknowledge the any sort of accuracy in Cameron's film. Read about the account of Daniel Buckley, a third class passenger who was trying to work his way up with a fellow passenger and stated that the crew member closed and locked the gate behind him. He and his friend broke the lock and escaped. "At one point Buckley was gathered with some other steerage men when one attempted to ascend a small flight of stairs into a first class area of the ship; a crewman came along and pushed the man back and snapped the gate shut and locked it. The same steerage passenger angrily chased after the man and broke the lock on the gate; he could not find the offending crewman and said if he had he would have chucked him into the ocean."

Just proof that you don't mock God and win, as if any proof was needed

Well if they were near the end the saddest version

Nearer my God to Thee was most likely the last song played, Autumn has little evidence. - Autumn being on the songbook doesn't necessarily mean they'd play it as the last song. - Harold Bride's account is dubious, coming from a newspaper that appears to have been edited. - There are only two more survivors who mentioned it, and one mentions it as the second to last song. - Nearer my God to Thee has several survivors mentioning it as the last song. - Honestly, regardless of what they played, it wouldn't calm anyone at this point in the sinking. - Evidence points to the Horbury version of Nearer my God to Thee being played.

One of the survivors confirmed hearing this song though. In an interview she said which version. It's possible they played both/many others as well(?)

They did play nearer my god to thee you nasty little liar.

Maybe they are because there is an orb that passes behind him from the right side of the screen timestamp 9:16+

Olympic and titanic were almost identical and that ship outlived the other two. Britannic was supposed to look like titanic but after titanic sank she had to be altered to comply with new regulations. Then Britannic become a hospital ship so they had to do more work on it

@@Truecrimeresearcher224 I mean the original Olympic class design. The one that had four masts and three funnels.

They stuck to their posts to the end. None were saved.
