The visuals are STUNNING, skin-pinchingly REAL. At least we have a sense of what the construction and hand-over of the Olympic-class liners must have looked like, as well as the emotion conveyed at those times.
I just finished watching this series, so good. Although I'm aware that this is a work of fiction and not 100% historically accurate, it's still very informative and gives a good sense of the social and political climate that surrounded the building of the Titanic. And what really stood out for me is that things haven't changed that much since the early 1900s, we're still as divided now as we were then. My only gripe is the ending. Of course we know the Titanic is going to sink but I feel they were a lot of loose ends.
A good portion of this amazing series, while fictional and conceived in a production studio, nevertheless captures the Edwardian world of Titanic's birth in1909 to her maiden voyage three years later within the industrial shipyards of Harland & Wolffe, representing the dedicated shipbuilders and their incredible skills to perfection! It was an evocative journey into the past, illustrating the struggles and tragedies of two opposing religious factions in Belfast during the creation of, perhaps, one of the most iconic, man-made marvels of the Industrial Age. A refreshing endeavor to offer Titanic buffs a chapter of her history that has rarely been seen on film before!
The two things that drove me crazy in this series: 1. Olympic was launched in late 1910 after Titanic's construction was well underway so for most of the series we should have seen Olympic right next door until her launch and fitting out. 2. The damage from HMS Hawke was to her starboard stern, not port bow. This was huge in Titanic's delay in construction as Harland had to cannibalize Titanic's propeller shaft to repair Olympic.
This movie is full of mistakes. The Titanic was built on the left and the Olympic on the right. IN THE FILM, THE TITANIC IS BUILT TO THE RIGHT AND THE OLYMPIC IS NOT BUILT AT ALL. Also, the damage to the Olympic was at the stern and not at the bow as shown in the film. This film had a great potential to be great, but I see that they didn't try to be historically accurate at all, that bothers me a lot.

It's funny who if the great ship never sank, she'd be a footnote in marine engineering history. Her size and tonnage being quickly surpassed in a few years by Aquitania, and later by Queen Mary. We wouldn't be talking about her as much except for a passing mention. I mean, how many people talk about Aquitania, Queen Elizabeth, Imperator, France, Empress of Britain etc? Funny how that works.
+InflatablePlane Not just that.. Titanic was never the biggest ship .. as she was identical in size to Olympic wich was 2 years older.. it was the largest displacement because luyury adds to B deck made her 1500 tons heavier meaning she displaced 1500 tons more (she sat a bit lower on the water).. but had she not sank.. she would be just the number 2 of 3 identical ships wich as you say were soon surpased by newer bigger ships..
+sparrowlt Since it weighed more, titanic can technically be classified as being larger than Olympic. However, you'd b mistaken in saying all three were identical as the last one, Rms Brittanic was slightly longer than the other 2
William Bassignani All info i saw says Britannic was identical lenght.. 269m ... she was 60cm wider than her older siblings thought due to double-hull upgrades to the design
Actually, Titanic and Britannic were slightly longer than Olympic by a few inches, but Britannic was always intended even before the Titanic disaster to be 2 feet wider to improve stability. Both Olympic and Britannic received the same near double-hull upgrade post-Titanic, but Britannic had additional features added to her in the form of the large electric davits.
Queen Mary might never have been built in that alternate timeline, since without the sinking of the Titanic, the White Star Line would have been in somewhat better shape in terms of reputation and financial stability, perhaps enough that they would have been able to build a ship similar to the Oceanic III, only years earlier than in actuality, and thus beating Cunard and the French Lines to building and operating the first 1000 foot ship. Of course, it's hard to say about all that with World War I and whether or not Titanic would have survived that conflict as Olympic or got unlucky as Britannic did. Of course in an alternate reality where Titanic never sinks, Britannic would have been finished much sooner and like Aquitania , Imperator/Berengaria, Vaterland/Leviathan, and Bismark/Majestic, seen a few months of service before hostilities broke out.
imagine building something that took you so long and you worked the most just find out that it sank and also split in half then find out many years later its stern section up to the 3rd funnel is damaged to the point where it is almost gone
@@ikickchildrensforliving4740 that would be cool to see how Jack and rose would end up, but I see why James Cameron wrote the script how he did, the film would never be as popular as it still is today if Jack survived
1:40 if your wondering what that hole is it’s the Olympic Titanic sister ship.The Olympic crashed the the HMS Hawk and was Badly damaged but parts from the Titanic were used to fix the damage on the Olympic
yup its just sad to see it i mean like people that worked on it probably paid out of their own pockets and went down with it sorry for my grammar i was playing mine craft factions all night long :l
Siempre se recordara a en barco mas chingon del mundo y de las vida .y pues como no recordarlo si lo ando haciendo a escala (2 mts),cada le salgo demo casa eslobprimero que veo. TITANIC.EL BARCO INHUNDIBLE.
كم هي محزنة تلك الليلة ومؤثرة لجميع سكان العالم 😔 قصص وروايات وإعلام وتساءلات حول كل ذلك لما حصل لسفينة عملاقة وضخمة جداً على وجه سطح المحيطات والبحار في هذا الكون 🖐🏼 كم أنا متأثر وأحزن كلما تابعت ذلك ورأيته وأحسست بما حصل لهئولاك الأشخاص الذين غرقو. سبحانك يا الله ما أعظمك فليناموا بسلام 😭💔
If only titanic survived the iceberg head on and the First World War Titanic might’ve been saved from scrapping in 1936 in favor of her sister Olympic being scrapped and Titanic being Commissioned as a floating museum or still would’ve been operating to this day if she survived the Second World War. Achievement unlocked Antique Collector: start in the Digital Era with an Edwardian Era Ocean liner. Just because something’s old doesn’t mean you throw it away.
It was a complete mistake scrapping the Olympic in my opinion. It could have been a floating museum like you said being that it was near identical as her sister, Titanic.
@@nikobellic5968 come to think of the multiverse of alternate histories if the Britannic survived ww1 then the Olympic would’ve been chosen for scrapping since Britannic is a more modern design. If Titanic hit the iceberg head on she possibly would’ve stayed afloat (unlikely in the event of a catastrophic impact) and if she successfully survived WW1 either as a troopship or hospital ship and Britannic did not in this case then the titanic would’ve either been scrapped or kept as a floating museum however if either sister would’ve survived there demise in WW1 and whatever Olympic class ship was chosen to stay afloat it would’ve sit abandoned and rusting hulk just like the SS America for instance. Just because something’s old doesn’t mean you throw it away perhaps future generations would want to sail into history.
There were a number of errors in showing how the parts of the Titanic were built and assembled, each section of the vertical keel plate were 30 feet long NOT six or so feet and the way they were joined was incorrect too also each of the ship's ribs were one long cast section NOT built out of riveted together sections.
Problem with some of these scenes is that they launched the wrong ship down the wrong slipway. Olympic was launched from the left slipway while the Titanic was launched from the right slipway.
Never seen this show and it looks great, but not very accurate...I mean why is the Titanic build in the wrong slipway ? People who created this movie must have done some research for the film to create it, but at this time even the youngest Titanic enthousiast knows that the Olympic was build on the right slipway and the Titanic on the left slipway...That's a very big mistake !!
Well there are the theories about the white starline switching the ships identities in an insurance scheme. Perhaps they are trying to bring that into play in the show in a sence . . .
You are absolutely right!I mean everyone, everywhere, recognises that those weren't the real workers in that ship yard, and it is so obvious that those tools that they were using were not the actual tools.... And..... For Christ sake man, it's a movie! I bet you are a real joy to be around in everyday life!
Mistakes made in this show 1. Titanic was built on the left slipway, Olympic was built on the right. In this show it shows her being inaccurately built were Olympic's slipway was. 2. The damaged area In Olympics Hawke collision is in the wrong area, Her stern on the port side was only slightly gashed in two areas flooding 2 compartments. In this show the damage from the collision is shown to be a massive gash by her port bow area slightly past the forecastle which is incorrect. 3. During Titanic's launch her condensers were never used. The purpose of condensers is like using waterpumps in the ships double bottom or peak tanks to adjust leveling. But since the Titanic was nothing more then a bare shell at launch, there was no reason for the water condenser pumps to be active shortly after launching as seen in the show. 4. There are also a large variety of historical errors in the events that played out during her construction and of that with the company white star and its employees but there are too many to point out.
With Risk comes Progress. Industrial Revolution, and the Victorian Era are perhaps the most captivating times in human history. It was a time in which the western world shot so far ahead technologically than the rest of the world, that she was able to almost effortlessly conquer the world. There was a time in which we literally thought ourselves as gods among men. A time in which anything was possible. Then the world wars came, and we literally ripped ourselves a part, and in turn we castrated ourselves with fear of the horror it brought. Now the Western World Bleeds as new Contender's rise, and we just sit watching our light boxes.
at this point my biggest issue is Titanic here is being built where her sister Olympic was being built (as in, being built in Olympic's spot in the gantry)
to the average person it's a good series but yes some inaccuracies. The best part is the truth of Irish discrimination. Hopefully Ireland will be reunited soon..
I feel very sorry for the people who died in the sinking of the Titanic. But I'm glad the Titanic sank. As much as I admire the technology and scale of ship production in the 19th century, the Titanic symbolizes the monstrous injustice and exploitation of human by human. It is in our power to make the future better, so that the people who were roasting in the huge cauldrons inside the engine room of this monster did not suffer in vain. This applies not only to them, but to all of us.
Wish this show didn't fuck up on the fact that Titanic wasn't built on Olympics side and it would have been more accurate, all tho, really impressed with how real the ship looks
