the only thing that is accurate is that they still cannot confirm whether it was a torpedo from a U-Boat or an underwater mine that caused the first hole on port (right side) of the ship
Grant Mctaggart yeah but they don’t show that, and most people probably drowned or died from hypothermia before that. Would probably take like a whole minute of the titanic being completely submerged for it to reach a depth for people’s heads to explode.
Well this happened after titanic sank. She’s open the eyes of every mariner on her time. Changes on martime was done and her sister ship is more prepared now (lifeboats and safety). There are things we cannot control though (her sister ship struck by mine). Titanic needed to sink so other ships can be prepared. Of course every ship sinking is a different story.. and every story has different scenario. Plus according to wikipedia: Compared to Titanic, the rescue of Britannic was facilitated by three factors: 1. The temperature was higher (21 °C (70 °F)[54] compared to −2 °C (28 °F)[55] for Titanic), 2. More lifeboats were available (35 were launched and stayed afloat[56] compared to Titanic's 20[57]) 3. Help was closer (arrived less than two hours after first distress call[56] compared to three and a half hours for Titanic.[58])
A reminder that from the WSL Olympic models (Olympic, Titanic, Britannic), only the Olympic survived until retirement in 1935. It rammed a U-boat in half in the WW1, and in 1934 a light ship on the coast of New York (accidentaly).
That's were the theory titanic was swapped for the Olympic comes from they had to use titanic parts to fix the Olympic so 401 titanic is on the Olympic I believe a propeller was used
Between the sinking of the Titanic, Lusitania, & Britannic, the sinking of the Titanic was more frightening because it happened in the middle of the night, unlike Lusitania & Britannic at least during the daytime but during World War I
And the fact after titanic the safety of the ships were completely redone ensuring there was more lifeboats warnings were taking serious lifeboats must be filled before leaving ect this also impacted it , the fear of being on the titanic and no lifeboats left is unthinkable , Im sure the crew were extremely panicked too knowing this not to mention in the darkness of night it really is one of the most saddest and terrifying events in modern history ...as far as history goes
Actually this movie is I think represented to when the investigator taught at was a spy and torpedo but also captain C.A Bartlett did not leave when there were still people leaving. he left until everyone left and when the bridge was going under water also the ship did not sank that fast at sank a bit slower before it went underwater also the movie doesn’t even have a noise that means the bow hit the water because when it sank I went down onto the ocean and also the ship sank cause of a mine
Lole lieu:in the case of britannic Yes you are Write! But this hapand because the propelers of The ship got up bacause the front of The ship was taking a lot of water and this made the front part of The ship gone so the back part got up with the propelers together is that why the people died in the propelers spinning but this Never have to hapend bacause the capitan of The ship became responsible for turn off the propelers this was the captain fault because the captain didntturn off the propelers!
I couldn't agree more with Captain Bartlett's last words to the HMHS Britannic, "What a waste, all of it for nothing..." Such a shame for a beautiful ship like her to go down.
I’ve been looking into ship sinkings lately and it seems like the Titanic had a pretty awesome crew on board to delay the sinking of such a relatively small ship (in the modern day, anyways). It seems like most ships have a proclivity for capsizing first.
James Cameron mentioned that: Unlike all other shipwrecks in recorded history, the Titanic didn't heel over or capsize during the sinking, at least until it cracked in two and all power/control was lost.
Yeah you right but i think this movie will be great if there will be someone (hopefully like james cameron) recreate this film with better quality and great actors too.
@@pungolay6586 Actually, now that I think about it. It would've been a good line for Caledon to say as he'd been the one constantly praising the Titanic as unsinkable. But then again he's the villan of the story so... I don't know.
All hail Violet Jessop for surviving 3 ship crashes, The Titanic,The brittantic,and ofc(this one doesn't really count since it didn't actually fall :)) but the Olympic :( she might not be alive anymore due to heart complications,but she lived a pretty hectic and amazing damn life and I'm so happy she got to write a book of all her ship experiences and she didn't let it stop her from still working as a nurse on a 4th SHIP! 🥺😌👍 She really is,Miss Unsinkable ♥️
@@Firemarioflower The Britannic received much more damage than the Titanic. About 10 minutes after the explosion, the Britannic was in roughly the same condition as the Titanic was after one hour. The captain had thought to beach the ship on the shores of Kea as a safer alternative to sinking. He sent out orders for the lifeboats to be prepared but NOT launched at that time as it was unsafe. When he realised that his desperate dash for the shore was causing the water to enter more rapidly, he ordered the engines stopped. Unbeknownst to him, several lifeboats had been released without authority. Most of the deaths were from these lifeboats that were sucked into the propellers. Apart from these poor souls and a few others, all in all it was a rather successful evacuation, with most passengers and crew surviving. For a ship that sunk quite quickly (in less than an hour), the captain was very quick thinking and made sure all people were evacuated and signaled last call to abandon post before he and his chief engineer simply walked into the sea and swam to a lifeboat.
This is one of the biggest disasters ever. I was hurt when that mine hit me. Surely you all feel bad for me. Also I need friends! One like: One friend.
"You sir, so much for your unsinkable ship." What a great one liner.... would've been even better had it been in Titanic, the ship that was actually labelled as unsinkable.
Not quite the way it happened. The Captain didn’t order the lifeboats deployed until he stopped all engines. But some of the crew panicked and launched boats while the screws were still turning.
The starboard propellers were ordered full stop to make an effort to make it to the island of Kea but i never heard anything about all engines stopped. He never gave orders to stop the engines as it would only make things worse than grounding out
It was a fair assumption at the time, though. RMS/HMT Olympic survived not one, but three collisions with other ships. One with the Nantucket light ship in New York harbor, one with u-boat U-103, and one with HMS Hawke, a ship literally designed to sink ships by ramming. Really the only reason Britannic didn't survive the detonation was because the angle of the blast warped her bulkheads at compartments 5 and 6 which jammed their water tight doors in the open position.
@@jaytadeo8238 wrong, there was a fire in the bottom of the ship, it had gotten so unbelievably hot that by the time they got it put out, it had weakened that part of the ship. that being said, if they hit the iceberg head on, they would have sunk so much faster. if the fire hadnt sprouted, the ship would have been literally unsinkable. the small collision with the iceberg would have done almost nothing to the ship, (cant really say the same about hitting it head on. most likely would have still sunk the ship) they could have made a thousand trips to new york.
Violet Constance Jessop (2 October 1887 - 5 May 1971) was an Argentine ocean liner stewardess, memoirist and nurse who is known for surviving the disastrous sinkings of RMS Titanic in 1912 and her sister ship HMHS Britannic in 1916. In addition, she had been onboard RMS Olympic, the eldest of the three sister ships, when it collided with a British warship, HMS Hawke, in 1911
Because Britanic is part of the Olympic class of White Star Line. There are 3 titanic-like ships. Olympic, Tiatanic and Britanic they are the 3 olympic class ships, Titanic and Britanic both sank while Olympic became a navy vessel and rammed 2 german U-boats.
A correction, actually the ship didn't sink in the afternoon, but in the morning, that's why a lot less people died than the Titanic, because the water temperature was hot.
The only "unsinkable ship" was the first one which was the Olympic which rammed a u boat and transported troops everywhere from atlantic to Mediterranean
1:46 “so much for your unsinkable ship!” What in the world 🌎? Who said the Britannic was unsinkable? People said The Titanic was unsinkable, But calling Britannic unsinkable makes no sense at all. Plus, Britannic used to be called Gigantic. Edit: Turns out I’m a idiot.
WARNING: don’t take this movie as fact, there are many wrong things such as the ship suddenly plunging and the mine hitting at night. Also no torpedo was fired at the britannic
I like how the lights sudennly went off, and it started to sink on the right side. How those two first funnels imediatly fall in to the ocean, but the last two are standing still.
Granted by the time he was off everyone else was off so he wouldn’t get arrested and the people killed by the prop would be their own recklessness as Barllet ordered no boats be launched.
After Titanic sank White Star Line began construction on the HMHS Britannic around two months after Titanic sank. The Britannic looked very similar to her sister ship Titanic. Also, even though the Britannic was the last of the trio of ships it was also the biggest. White Star Line intended to name the ship Gigantic. But after the Titanic's disaster they changed the name to Britannic because it was a lucky name. In 1914 Britannic was transformed into a hospital ship during World War 1, hit a mine in 1916 in the Aegean Sea and sank. Violet Constance Jessop worked as a stewardess on the Olympic and disembarked safely after the ship hit the HMS Hawke. She escaped the sinking of the Titanic in Lifeboat number 16 and showed some people it was safe to board the lifeboats. She even worked as a nurse on the Britannic when it was used as a hospital ship. When the ship was sinking, Violet jumped into the water and hit her head on the ship's keel. The Britannic sank in the morning when the water was warm. Also when the Britannic was sinking the propellers were still working so the lifeboats got destroyed. Unlike Titanic's death toll. Only 30 people died on the Britannic and 1000 people survived.
There are a number of inaccuracies portrayed here in the movie. Time of day issues, kia was visible as was another island and the timing of the life boats getting chopped up is wrong. The captains first attempt at beaching was not a bad idea and we're it not for people disobeying orders and launching boats at this point the bulk of the death would not have happened. The second attempt was just pure madness that drove the bow under the water line and expedited the sinking. Brittanic had motor launches and the water temperature was not a death sentence like with Titanic so they had a much better shot all around. Still evacuations are dangerous hence the attempt to ground her.
Sou fascinado pelas histórias desses 3 irmãos (Titanic, Britannic e Olympic) e tbm dos outros transatlânticos centenários. Pelo menos o Olympic poderia ter sido preservado. 😓
Bruh if im on one of those lifeboats, i can survive by jumping out of the boat knowing that the water is not cold i can also survive the propellers destroying lifeboats
Britannic: Britannic is one of the Olympic class Ocean Liners. It was built in 1911, launched in 1914, and sank in 1916. The cause of sinking was hitting a mine. The reason why the ship was sinking fast because it has open portholes.
like the capsizing looks so fast that it looks like the movie creators almost forgot the ship was almost on its side and needed to capsize it to its side
me: Siri say Titanic Siri: britannic Me: no Siri say Titanic! Siri: BRITANNIC me: NO SIRI U NEED TO SAY TITANIC!!!! SIRI: BRITANNIC ME: SIRI SAY POSEIDON Siri: i dont understand thx for the 250 likes!
The britannic, had torpedo attempts, but survived, then hit a mine, and started flooding, then suffered an boiler explosion, then tilted onto starboard, then sank.
“So much for your unsinkable ship!!” If this would’ve been in Titanic 1997 it would’ve been the best one-liner in the movie in my opinion XD But in any case, the deaths of both Titanic and Britannic should be a reminder that no ship is completely unsinkable, no matter how hard people have tried to make that possible. Once the damage is done, the ship you worked so hard on can end up on the bottom of the sea in minutes. Titanic was declared unsinkable, but a combination of multiple things such as the coal bunker fire, inadequately sized watertight bulkheads, and the deliberate disregard of the ice warnings caused her to sink just like that. Britannic was also declared unsinkable but ended up sinking due to a mine detonation jamming the watertight doors. These incidents are a lesson to never call a ship one single word: *Unsinkable*
The rivets were not made right too which giving the limited technology available then wasn't uncommon but they were not made to sustain a impact I believe this had a huge impact on Titanic's ability to hold together during the impact with the iceberg , the fact the iceberg didn't tear a gash in titanic only confirms that sadly the rivets failing allowed the steel to separate and water to flow in
