It's incredible isn't it? Imagine being down there crawling along and then she's right infront of you where you could almost touch her and the only thing separating the two is the sub. Definitely would give you a very eerie feeling.
I cannot understand how this does not have way more views. I have watched this probably a dozen times or more. It is- and always has been a dream of mine to visit here. One dream I sadly won’t ever be able to afford.
Matthew Roos unfortunately, money and positions of elite, did then, still does, and will always rule the world! so, along w/ you, yes, another incomplete and unfinished dream will be forever and ever ♾ lost
My heart ❤️ is all for this tragedy to all the unfortunate soul lost on this cursed journey I’ve been in love with titanic since I was 11 I’m fascinated by the legend of titanic
2020. Starting the year by paying tribute to all those lost souls. RIP. Heres hoping the malaysian aircraft that mysteriously disappeared is found and tributes to those lost souls can be paid at last .
I'm not too hopeful about the Malaysian aircraft which vanished. Probably would have disintegrated on impact with the water making finding remains so much harder. Then again, if i were 100 years back i'd probably have said the same thing about the Titanic, it's too deep in Davy Jones locker and we'll never find it. It may take decades, but we'll find it, remembering and honoring those who perished.
I don't expect that Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 will ever be found. Whether it went down in an attempted controlled landing by a conscious pilot or whether it crashed from a 30,000+ altitude ... either way no recognizably "large pieces" could possibly have remained intact for sonar equipment to detect. The seas in that part of the Indian Ocean were known to have been between 3m and 5m that evening. They would have ripped an aircraft attempting to land into tiny little pieces. A crash from great height would have resulted in the same thing as hitting concrete. (Look at the evidence after the Florida swamp plane crash .. nothing much larger than a postage stamp remained). Anything without the ability to float would have sank to the greatest ocean depths, too small to return any significant sonar signals to search ships - and the experts are still arguing about the right location of where it went down! Some of these world experts say that the search areas should have been another 50km wider than the searches that were actually conducted. And the only pieces that could stay afloat did .. and the ocean currents sent them thousands of kms away to where the only pieces of MH370 have ever been found: in the Reunion Islands. The barnacle-encrusted wing section with the ragged trailing edge flapperon belonging to MH370 was found there and, according to several experts, indicates that the pilot was trying to land the jet on the water because they were in a fully extended position, and the damage done to the trailing edge is indicative of catastrophic contact with the rough ocean waves. This indicates to some of the panel of experts that a landing was attempted but the aircraft was ripped apart. Other experts on the panel disagree with this hypothesis. But I don't believe that any pieces large enough to be detected miles beneath some of the world's deepest and wildest oceans exist after crashing into such rough seas. The pilot intended for it to never be found and I believe that he has succeeded. NOTE: My views and opinions are formed based on the research as presented and discussed by the panel of experts on whose advice the search for MH370 rests, and who are interviewed by journalists on the Australian 60 Minutes program, all of which are available for free view on RU-vid. Interestingly, only 4 Australians were aboard Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, yet the Australian government has spent many millions of dollars in trying to find remnants and any other evidence of the aircraft's final flight. This seems to raise more questions than there are answers for, but although the pilot had turned off all navigational tracking to the aircraft, he was certainly unaware of the 'pings' that each of the aircraft's engines sent out at regular intervals and which were picked up by a satellite which identified the aircraft as being MH370 and the area in which the plane finally crashed. Although the search is akin to the proverbial 'needle in the haystack', those data pickups by the satellite certainly have made the haystack all that much smaller ... and yet no trace of MH370 has ever been identified - all except for the flotsam and jetsam which have washed up on the Reunion Islands, just East of Africa's East Coast. And that includes the large piece of MH370's wing that was recovered there. Certain other items such as personal luggage have been known to have also washed ashore on Reunion's beaches - but these were soon after burned as rubbish because those who are responsible for cleaning up the beaches were completely unaware of what it was they had discovered. And now it's unlikely that any further pieces will wash up after such a long period of time. That opportunity to identify any more of the passengers' personal belongings is now lost to time, as those ocean currents have long since passed by the only known landfall where any traces of MH370 have ever been discovered. The rest is surely at the bottom of one of the world's deepest oceans in pieces too small to be detectable by current methods. If you are interested in further information about MH370, I highly recommend that you look for the Australian 60 Minutes programs on RU-vid about it.
That was very touching towards the end. I really respect the thinking of the Russians. Titanic is a grave site, respect the dead. Even thought her age is showing, I am sure she and the souls that went down with her is happy to be remembered. "No dumping of refuse. Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but memories."
For anyone interested - the plaque they brought back up is now framed and situated in Belfast City Hall. I visited there in 2017 & whilst watching this today, I wondered if this was one and the same, it is.
@@1940limited It's a brass plaque that they took with them down to the ship and brought back up again, before bringing it back home to Belfast. They wanted the plaque to get tarnished by the trip down to the Titanic, as well as the time spent around her and the time it took to go back up again. They didn't take anything from her
@@lisamorrison214 what part doesn't make sense? That they removed something they had placed themselves or that they continued to honor the lives lost with an emotionally based plaque?
I really enjoyed this documentary .. it was respectful in every way possible, and I even shed a tear with the granddaughter of the fireman from Belfast who's grandfather was buried in Nova Scotia. No one should be taking anything from the Titanic ..Firstly, it is the gravesite and final resting place of some 1350 souls - remember that of the 1500+ who died, only approx. 150 of the bodies that were picked up by the Mackay-Bennett et al were actually taken back to be buried in Nova Scotia. Although they actually picked up approx 322 bodies from the water - give or take a few, they only had coffins for less than half of that number and they only brought back those who were not too decomposed for burial - remember also that by the time the recovery boats reached the site where the great unsinkable ship had sunk, they had already been in the water for a week! So those that were too decomposed were sewn into canvas, weighted with lead bars, and prayer services were held as they were finally committed to their deep, watery graves almost right over Titanic's resting place - and after around two and a half hours they would have finally reached the bottom and at 3,800 metres below the surface they, too, rejoined those fellow passengers who went down with their ship. Secondly, Titanic Inc. owns all rights to the wreck of Titanic ... they certainly wouldn't be happy to find out if American tourists were stealing artifacts from the wreck site!! Everything about Titanic should always command respect for the many lives lost - actually, Titanic is now 15 square miles of cemetery on the ocean floor. And it's alarming to hear regular divers to the wreck commenting on her very poor state of health. But she's in such a bad way that she really doesn't have long before she totally collapses under the incredible pressure of 4kms of ocean above her, and her very own unique bacteria eating away at her. And once she collapsed her total rustification will be very swift, indeed !! One day soon - in perhaps 50 years - she will physically be nothing more than a bright orange smear of rust stain on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. But those personal artifacts will always remain, along with the ship's things - like her massive propellers which can never rust because they're made of brass, and those ceramic items like plates from the kitchens, etc. But, of course, Titanic's memory and that of her fate will never, ever be forgotten, even though many of the real names of those died on her maiden voyage will never now be known - because Titanic's story is the stuff of legend. Even more than 100 years since she went down interest in her is more popular than ever - thanks to movies about her and the expeditions to her wreck each year (which also brings wealthy tourists and research dollars) we can watch her closely whilst respecting that it's a 15-acre grave site for 1350 people who died violently, tragically. Wherever you see the pair of boots and shoes on the ocean floor .. that was once a living, breathing, laughing and crying human being! They're still on the ocean floor exactly where they came to rest almost one hundred and six years ago .. they've survived because the tannins and uric acids that were used to tan the leathers are so unpalatable to the very same creatures that willing ate away their human occupants that they are still laying right there bearing witness as silent grave-markers - and will continue to do so for many years to come. But they won't last forever .......
bettygoodbody Oh, I know just how you feel. And me too .. no details regarding the tragedy are too big or too small to be meaningful to someone. And I feel very strongly that taking anything from the wreck is tantamount to grave robbery!
It’s not a graveyard unless there’s bodies. The stuff belongs in a museum, or to the relatives of family members. I will agree that it is wrong to take things off the ship to hock it
@@habs8715 no, or every place where an accident or tragedy happens is considered a graveyard now?, the atlantic was the graveyard of the vast majority of the people, not the ship, and the ship is a cultural heritage and should NOT be letting to rot and dissapear in order to preserve all these people's legacy alive, the titanic tragedy played a huge role in waking up people about the dangers of the ocean and not taking the security measures seriously. As sadly nothing can be done for the ship's remains, the objects in it should be recovered and given back to the families if they want them or put them in museums to be remembered for the future generations
I've been studying Titanic for more than twenty years. It never stops amazing me. Edit: May the souls of all those who died with the ship rest in peace. 🙏
Great information that I didn’t know. My grandma was young when this tragedy took place. She talked with me about her great sadness for all people that lost their lives.
Really sad especially since he was a fireman. These poor guys were always in the dirtiest place on the ship to power her with all the coal and heat in that environment. These guys were locked in during the sinking and were hopeless being stuck in with those boilers and were probably one of the first ones to die as the water would have flooded the rooms and drowned everyone inside all while everyone couple floors up were rushing to the stern of the ship.
I wonder how people use the loo down there?...ten hours, and what if someone has a panic attack... perhaps the claustrophobes won't pay to go... Heck, I had a panic attack in the Channel Tunnel...and could barely hang on til we got to France to loose the bowels of hell{ panicky gut action brought on by claustrophobia}
This is a great video that shows respect to the 1500 souls that lost their lives on that terrible night. Sadly as in just about all Titanic videos, the ship is being eaten away by natural resources on the bottom of the ocean.
There needs to be more on RU-vid and around the web in general about the MV Wilhelm Gustloff. It sank in 1945 with an estimated loss of life being 9400. It's not very well know and was the worst disaster at sea in the history or marine disasters.
@@enochpowel4580 It was packed with civilians fleeing Nazi Germany. In any case I wasn't making a judgement one way or the other. I was just saying it's a sinking worth talking about.
so sad to see this once beautiful ship in this state one cud say its down to arrogance n not heading iceberg warnings in 1912 so with that it's history n fate of the titanic God bless the souls in heaven xx
I know it's probably a great possibility that if the ship hadn't of sank none of us would know what Titanic was, but I still wish it didn't sink. It's just so sad what those people went through. Most of the third class passengers didn't survive because they were trapped in their cabins below. RIP Titanic and those who perished with her. 😢😢
Autumn R Ryan that’s a very interesting thing to contemplate. None of its passengers would be known or researched the way they have been. Encyclopedia Titanica has researched every passenger and crew member in its website with detailed biographies. All of these people would have disappeared into history. Yet due to the sinking people are reading about their lives over a hundred years ago. It’s fascinating reading about what the passengers had been up to previous to boarding, and why they were traveling and what they’re plans were after the voyage. It’s deeply sad to read about the survivors and how their lives were changed forever from losing a loved one.
@@cliff9685 We probably wouldn't have known the lives of the passengers, but the ships would have gone down in history as they beat Lusitania and Mauritania with ease when it came to luxury and sheer size
That first group who went down were disgusting as they said they were disappointed not to get “souvenirs “. It’s a gravesite, you bastards! Money can’t buy you class.
You have to take into consideration that it is literally these people’s jobs to salvage things from wrecks all around the world. Of course they are going to want to bring things up. It’s not always about the money it’s about the history and sharing what they have found. But I also understand that 1000s of people lost their lives and it is more than a ship full of jewels. It’s history and a gravesite. It’s strange how often those two words coincide.
I don't know what's down thee to take as a souvenir anyway unless you could get inside the ship somehow. I believed in leaving the ship entirely intact as Ballard found it, but we knew that would never happen.
As a American i am very sad to hear that my fellow countrymen wanted to take objects from that grave site. I bet they would be pissed off if a 100 years from now people took objects from their grave site or those who they love. It's a grave site where men , women and children lost their lives and should always be treated as such.
@@robotbjorn4952 Why don't we harvest the tombstones of graveyards and build cottages while we're at it? Besides, the metal of the Titanic is worthless. It would gradually dissolve as it got raised, due to it merely being a bunch of rust held together by sheer pressure by now. Sure, there's a small bit of integrity left, but that integrity is merely temporarily preserved by the amount of rust. The only metal at the Titanic that could be reused, is her propellers (good luck raising them) and certain parts of the bridge, as well as the plaques laid at her bridge and some of the decorative metal parts throughout the ship. In other words, all the brass, copper and bronze is salvageable... If you can raise it successfully. I say good luck with the propellers because each propeller weighs in at 38 tonnes. We don't have the technology to raise anything of that weight from at depth of 3.8 km down, neither can we cut it. So it's practically impossible. Same goes with 90% of the remaining brass, copper and bronze, as they are attached to the ship and thus needs to be cut away (or wait till the entire thing has become a pile of hydroxide dust and then dig through it). In other words, the only metal you can salvage by this point and actually make something out of, is the memorial plaques. Removing them to make $1000 key chains gives you one hell of an explanation problem for the 1500 families who lost family members in the tragedy. In other words, the court trials would ruin you financially for the same amount of time it takes Titanic to rust entirely away, counted from the moment she sank.
@@Arterexius _Of course_ you wouldn't bring up all 38 tonnes of propeller at once. That's ridiculous. I can't even begin to imagine the costs involved with such an endeavour. The obvious approach would be to shave of bits little by little. Maybe make a limited edition Jack and Rose heart necklace from the bronze or something like that. I could imagine those going for $100K easily, way more valuable than rusty keychains. And I sincerely doubt there'd be 1500 _seperate_ famalies lining up sue me. You're forgetting that many of the casualties came from within the same household, with some being wiped out entirely, and let's face it, the 3rd class passangers likely didn't have too many branches on the ol' family tree, if you know what I mean..

Watching those people, reminds me of how sick I was staying in the middle of the ocean for 3 days and 2 nights.. I suffered a very horrible sea sick..
Fascinating. Love the Titanic. She was such a beauty. Ships of today are so ugly. It's October 2020. Wonder What she looks like now. Thank you for the tour and Long live Titanic. She will never be forgotten. Touching with the lady and her grandpa. Really sweet.
She rests noble in the ocean depths. Titanic will never be forgotten in people's minds and hearts even when she in gone. Rip rms titanic queen of the ocean.
I can imagine myself falling asleep on the dive down. Just because of the sheer boredom. I would probably be speechless when I would see the massive rusting wreck of the Titanic in all her glory. Probably my best buddy would be like "Are we there yet?" I would love to dive her but probably by the time I can afford to go she'll be nothing but a faint rust stain on the ocean floor. It's sad.
I always see people saying it’s not right to take anything away from the this amazing ship!, But can’t you see the amazing things that are being put in World museums and that brings to life all those who lost there lives. Keeping there stores alive . Truly I feel this is right . We don’t take away and it’s all eaten by the sea , what’s the sense in that!.
Fabian Wylie As Robert Ballard has said before, “You don’t go to Gettysburg with a shovel. You don’t take belt buckles off the Arizona.” I get what you’re saying, ok, I do. Those who take things from that ship and either give it to the families or preserve it for memory, that’s fine. But there are those who use if for publicity, money making and/or auctions. Plus, leave their trash around the ship. That crap needs to stop!
Seth , with everything there always some that are not thoughtful. But I love the fact these people and titanic will never die., I was born on the 14th April , kind of ironic ans have been fascinated by Titanic for a very young age. Preserving history is very important, especially when it comes to Titanic 👍
30mins wasn't enough to watch the wilderness of this massive ship. It is so ere to go deep into the ocean knowing the fact that is the exact location 100 years ago where this gigantic ship sank.
It is interesting that Titanic is the reason the Empire State Building exists today. If John Jacob Astor hadn't died, then his son wouldn't have sold the land as to where it stands today. Crazy how everything seems to fit together.
Both my grandparents n my mother's side met in the RAF in the 1940s,they would never have met if not for that so I suppose if it wasn't for that swine Adolf Hitler I wouldn't be here,but anything happens,lot's of reasons,why things happen and can change alsorts like you said it all fits together some how
If JJ Astor had lived.....we would not have the federal reserve.!!!!! He was opposed to it....as was Benjamin Guggenheim and Isadore Strauss. JP Morgan wanted the federal reserve. Morgan candles his titanic ticket whilst the others did not. Morgan survived....scammed the victims by having immigrants settle for 25$... no matter what they lost on board the titanic....or how injured or traumatized...and created the federal reserve.
@@dianebrady6784there are literally no evidences to show JJ Astor or Guggenheim were against federal reserve. Not even a single statement privately or publicly documented. As for Isidor Straus, he was an open supporter of federal reserve (New York Times October 16 and 18, 1911). As for Morgan, he wasn't even going to be in the ship. Cancelling in last minute is just another made up thing from conspiracy theorists. He was already going to be in Venice by April 23, it was publicized. If he made titanic voyage, he wouldn't have returned back in time, considering transatlantic voyage takes 5 days. By mid April, he was in France to overlook his art exports, now in Metropolitan museum of art, before France passed a law to prevent Americans from exporting art treasures of France.
If this fails in any way you're dead, idk if I would take the risk but imagine seeing this amazing ship with your own eyes o m g . Definitely a risk worth taking. I hope more expeditions are made to the ship.
Very nice video with an excellent insight into the remarkable design, technology, metallurgy, engineering, telecommunications and construction skills that go into building vessels capable of taking three people more than two miles to the seabed over a ten hour period, and return them to the surface, all in relative comfort, and with the highest degree of safety imaginable! Today safety is designed and regulated in, whereas in the time of Titanic, neither the designer, owner, builder or regulator cared about the safety of the passengers and crew, and so it sailed in the absolute certainty that more than half the people on board would drown or freeze to death in the event that the ship sank! The third class passengers made up the bulk of those lost.
The original chief architect of Titanic abandoned the project when she was almost done, out of concern over the number of lifeboats and that H&W's owner Lord Pirrie, wouldn't add more lifeboats. So he simply quit as he couldn't stand as the chief architect of something that could cost over a thousand lives (which it did). The original chief architect was Alexander Carlisle, but Thomas Andrews took his job after he quit. Another notable architect of the Titanic, was Edward Wilding, who contributed with a lot of the mathematical calculations for the Olympic Class ships. Harland and Wolfe's ships were generally a lot safer than most other ships of the day (and a heck of a lot sturdier). It was consequently Lord Pirrie who made the fatal decision to not include enough lifeboats on Titanic, although this was immediately corrected after her sinking, so both Olympic and Britannic had enough lifeboats. Both remaining sisters also got a full double hull, as well as increased height of their bulkheads. Just to add in extra safety. Source for Architects: titanicfacts.net/who-designed-the-titanic/
17:28- that opening is where they entered the Mast to climb up the ladder to the Crow's Nest which is where they saw the iceberg. that's where they spotted it, not from the doorway
That doorway used to have remains of the crow's nest wrapped around it. However, over time, the actual platform has rusted away. You can see that in some of the videos and pictures taken in the late 1980's.
vic vega and how would they see it? They would just see a patch of missing stars however first officer murdoc or how ever it is spelled would not see it like that and spotted it first titanic honor and glory has explained this.
@@countalucard4226 It's claimed that it could have withstood a head-on collision but at full speed it doesn't seem convincing. It would definitely have killed a lot of people as well.
Honestly, if the hatch door becomes open at 13,000 feet, they wouldn't even have time to realize what just happened. They'd just get crushed instantaneously. The pressure is absolutely insane. A single cubic meter of water weighs 1 ton. Idk how to calculate with imperial units, so here's how with metrics: 1 cubic meter of water (1x1x1 meter) weighs 1 ton Titanic lies about 3.8 kilometers down, which is 3,800 meters. This means that there are at least 3800 tonnes of water pressing down on every square meter (1x1 meter) of the Titanic. According to Google, an average fire truck weighs 40 tons. This pressure is then equal to the weight of at least 95 fire trucks stacked on top of one another. Or in the case of the hatchet opening at the site of Titanic, it would be 95 fire trucks stacked on top of one another vs. 3 adult human beings. No chance of surviving that. I've over explained this to make it easier to grasp the sheer pressure for anyone seeing this in the future
I am watching this at 12:30 am April 14th 2020 in 24 hour's it will be on it's way to sinking,taking many soul's with her. May they forever rest in peace.
@pricktroooollll There's nothing left down there that can be restored now, except anything made of bronze, brass, copper, glass or ceramics. All the wood and textiles are long gone and besides the materials mentioned above, there's only iron left. Iron which is in such a bad state that the vast majority of it is just rust held together by pressure and saltwater.
Go see it should be fine. No touching, just visit her and show that we're still here and we still care. And we will care even after she's no longer there.
Yes, that's true, but how about the 60 feet of bow that planted into the mud. To this day, it's said that it's in near perfect condition. As morbid as this sounds, I can't wait until it collapses and shows what we haven't been able to see yet
Soon.. It's gonna be a few decades more. Yes, she has begun collapsing on herself, but all this talk about the Titanic being completely gone at the end of this new decade is like comparing her to a fishing trawler. She will collapse more, yes. But Harland & Wolfe made some god damn solid ships back in the day. It's going to take quite a lot more time before she's a pile of hydroxide
They've been able to get a camera down inside to rooms below the sea bed and they are in much better condition. Absolutely amazing. Even woodwork still there. Look for a James Cameron documentary here on RU-vid.
In the past two days I have watched roughly a dozen video documentaries on the sinking of the Titanic & I have heard the number of lost souls is 1486 to 1522? Do any of these so-called producers/directors know just how many people died due to the actual sinking? How can there be so many different numbers lost more than 100 years after the fact???
The problem is due to several things. First, the reports were horribly confused in the days after the sinking. There reports that there were none lost or that all were lost. Other reports indicated a few numbers. Secondly, not all survivors wanted to come forward - they wanted to leave everything behind. I remember hearing one family only learned of their matriarch's connection to the disaster shortly before her death. So the numbers are always going to be a bit off. But it's within the 1500 range.
Texas Hi-Railer, I'am afraid we'll really know how many died on that tragic night so long ago. it must of been utter hell for these people who had no-way to a life boat knowing that their going to die. I wonder what would of happened if they had of hit the iceberg head on? I know there would of been damage but would it of been so badly that it would of sunk anyways? what do you think???
As I understand it the official count is 1512 lives . This does not include members of the crew as they were not counted among the passangers at the time . Just as Wallace Hartly and members of Titanics band were not counted as crewmen but independent contractors by White Star Line . And the workers who were still on board to do finish work in some areas were not included in tally of survivors or those who perished .
There's supposed to be a fairly recently published book that is alleged to list all the passengers lost and saved on The Titanic, as accurately as possible, especially given false names, people jumping ship, people changing their minds at the last minute, people who disembarked at various ports etc. I find it very far fetched and arrogant for anyone to actually say that they have a complete list of people with very little information to go on. I've heard anything from 1512-1572 were lost.
Nice. I also liked the last James Cameron documentary where they got cameras down into the bottom of the ship buried in the seabed... all remarkably well preserved compared to the rest of it. Even woodwork has survived in those lower levels.
I agree with leaving Titanic and it’s belongings but someday people and relatives of those who lost their life’s should be able to appreciate what is inside her. Not to sell but in a museum.
There's nothing of relevance left inside her. All the wood and fabrics are long gone. It's just metal, glass and ceramics by now. And in the end, the only things left down there will be a pile of hydroxide dust, as well as anything made from glass, ceramics, brass, bronze and copper. Including her propellers, although they won't ever be lifted back to the surface as each of them weighs 38 tonnes. There are at least 3800 tonnes of pressure on every square meter down there. No way they'd be getting those propellers up again.
Wasn't that very sad right near the end. They took Marjorie Wilson all the way to see her grandad, that was a very poignant moment, very very sad but i suppose for Marjorie a happy moment too
menacegtr. Aw for sure, I was very moved and had a cry over that moment when she was talking to her GrandDa at his graveside. That was powerful enough as it gets. Really good of those who made the programme to have taken her all the way there. A beautiful gesture on their part. Sure ti's a great shame that so many of those graves have no name on them, but the most famous one now does, that of the formerly unknown child, thanks to forensics and DNA testing, he now has a name, identity and family that knows of him. That had me in tears too. Greatly moved too that the Harland and Wollf plaque now lies on the bridge, quite rightly too.
I read somewhere that Titanic would be completely gone in 50 years. There will obviously be scattered debris left but even that will eventually be eaten away.
I would like to point out one error - the KELDYSH does NOT go out to the TITANIC wreck every year. If she is chartered to go out there, then she will go. Also, it should be noted that, as of now, the TITANIC's wheelhouse\bridge has now had a NUMBER of 'memorial' plaques placed there (6 or more), and it's almost progressed to the level of "littering" the spot. I can respect the thought behind it, but sometimes too much is just too much. As one famous author said, "The TITANIC is in danger of being loved to death".
Absolutely incredible. I would love to be able to go down to the bottom of the Ocean and see R.M.S Titanic. It would be mind blowing but a little nerve racking knowing if anything happened at that depth you'd most likely be part of the mass grave😟
I’m a little upset that William McQuillan’s Family were not informed until this documentary was made that his body was recovered and buried in Halifax. He had a wife and kids who should’ve been informed of that at least. It would’ve given them at least some bittersweet closure in knowing that, although he was gone, that his remains had been given a decent burial and was no longer floating in the ocean along with some 1200 other victims whose bodies were never recovered, 1500 victims total.
Would have loved to know what the lad thought about it, I mean come on, only 13, experiencing a once in a lifetime opportunity like that and just nonchalantly drinking full fat Coke? Shameful! Why wasn't he interviewed? Money talks! Only the privileged few who can financially afford it get to go to the wreck, unless you're involved in the scientific research field or get invited. Seems like father and son were playing a rich man's game!
Fay Goodwin agreed I happen to be the so many great niece of the Titanic's captain and I would give anything to dive to it just to pay my respects to him and all those unfortunate souls.
something a lot of people also don't know is that this wasn't the only ship captain smith had a accident in he also crashed and sunk another ship years before he got command of the titanic
Titanic wasn't almost safe from icebergs. That'd why the captain believed she was. 1912 turned out to be an unusual year for icebergs. The next one was 1962. The bergs went further south before melting those years.
Sadly they can't but I hope they bring up more pieces. I got to see the piece brought up and it is pretty incredible. I just hope they will start to bring more.
Darren T the ship is too far gone. Should they try to raise it now, even if it were possible, the forward section would fall apart and look just like the aft section.
People who regard this as a graveyard are in error. There aren’t any dead bodies there. All that’s left is the ruins of the ship. Bringing up pieces of it to display in museums it’s not sacrilegious. It is a good thing that the people I remembered. It is also good to continually learn from this disaster.
If the Titanic did not sink on it's maiden voyage as it did, it probably would have led a normal life of 20-30 years then been scrapped. Or it might he been torpedoed in WWI or WWII if it lasted that long. Under the tragic circumstances of the ship's early demise, we are left with something tangible to visit and remember the ship by. It's sister ship, the Britannic, lies in the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, a victim of WWI. Thus we have two 4-stackers still extant.
I believe your "she" is a "he". The box is ventilated and they're most likely placed there to protect them, so no one accidentally steps on them and kills them. Your eyes aren't exactly on the deck when you're swaying from side to side. You'd be more busy making sure you stay on the ship and doesn't get swept off of it.
I'm sure you could Google their names and get information. Charles Lightoller went on to serve on other ships and died in 1952. Jack Philips did not survive the sinking. Neither did James Moody. I do not know if their bodies were recovered.
I would love to be able to raise the titanic to the surface and thoroughly explore every nook and cranny and try to analyze its contents and positions of said contents in an attempt to try to piece together what's sorts of things people where doing shortly after the order to abandon ship was given...i know there are no human remains left on the titanic but id also like to try and find a way to determine where bodies had once been trapped inside the ship and how many of them died in their cabin room....and then I'd loot the contents of each room...once I was finished I'd drop her back down to the bottom and divide the loot between museums and black market collectors willing to pay high prices.
I was joking about the black market remark...everything else I meant 100 percent...if that means I'm a sick bastard than I'm guess I'm a sick bastard....oh well....at least I'm not a serial killer or a pedofile.
@@thespian302 it doesn't matter someday you and I will be dead and we will just be another tombstone that living people will walk past with out giving a single thought to what we did in our lives...just like you and I do when we walk past tombstones...our hopes, dreams, hard work, accomplishments and failures won't matter a flying crap to them or anyone else. So don't take life to serious because someday nobody will have a clue that we ever existed ....nor will they give a shit. Just be genuine and kind to others and don't take this life to serious because it's to short and brief to be waste your time being a prick...if it is important to you than buy a tombstone that says "here lies a prick"
I get so sad every video i watch its almost like she has a living about her an so sad to think she is where she is becauuse of mistakes made by man she will always live in my heart
@@julianneh.wathneit was there when Dr Ballard discovered the wreck. Too many divers down there ripping things off the ship for money. BTW the tub looked absolutely brand new.
And the died 1500, in the soul of a Ghost hanging Out on Deck in the Restaurant in the Turkish Bath say again: OK Folks Here Comes some other disturbing visitors. Let Them see what they want and stay quiet. They are, as Always, gone soon.
it's hard to believe that it's been over a hundred years since she went down, I truly hope that every single passenger knew the Lord and they are all in heaven
Stacey Geist That's utterly false and if not then it's hipocritical. Ballard was the first to leave a plaque on the Titanic. Choosing to place it on the wreck of the stern rather than bridge. The plaque was later stolen by salvagers and is probably sitting somewhere in a private collection.
