On the night of April 14, 1912, 2,224 people faced doom in the middle of the fridge north Atlantic. The luxury liner hailed as unsinkable was about to do just that and disappear beneath the waves. The tragedy has long captured the public imagination with heroic tales of millionaire John Jacob Astor going down with the ship like a gentleman and fictionalized romances about people who weren’t really on board. Today lets met a handful of the real women who were on board that terrible night. We’ll learn more about the famous first class ladies like Madeline Astor and Molly Brown but also met some of the lesser known passengers of second and third class including the only black family aboard. And we’ll meet a crew member who was truly unsinkable.
First Class:
Helen Churchill Candee
Molly Brown
Lady Lucy Duff-Gordon
Madeline Astor
Noël Leslie, Countess of Rothes
Ida Straus
Second Class:
The Hart Family (Eva Heart)
The Laroche Family
The West Family (Barbara West)
Third Class:
The Goodwin Family (The Unknown Child)
The Dean Family (Millvina Dean)
Crew:
Violet Jessop

He said the man responded with a snarky comment about how he wasn't going to relay the message to the captain for them to stop. The guy on the other ship got upset by his remark and turned his machine off for the night and went to bed.

While my husband and I were on our honeymoon in Gatlinburg TN we visited the Titanic museum. It is one of my favorite tourist attractions ever. They have the violin on showcase that was found in the wreck. They also have a replica of the grand staircase (perfect for pictures) In the Orchestra room, they have a grand piano and someone started playing Nearer My God to Thee. Gosh it gave me goosebumps. I suggest everyone who can, go see it. It’s a wonderful experience. They also give you a name card with someone who was on board the Titanic, you read their story and sometimes find their names through out the exhibit. At the end you can find their names and whether they died or survived.

@BriarMB13 3 года назад

They travelled with the exhibit and came to my town about two years ago now. It is absolutely amazing, they even provided a piece of an iceberg that you could touch to get a better idea of just how cold it was. The museum that hosted it even held a Tiantic party the first weekend it was here! When I finally got to go, there was group in front of my mom and I that was so disrespectful. As they sat in front of the recreation of the engine doors they said, "Well all those men would have died from black lung in a year or two anyways, that's not much of a loss." Mom stopped me from chewing them out, bu got so angry I burst into tears.

Its such a vivid memory because despite knowing little about the titanic, being around all of the items shook me up. It was like the energy of everyone on the ship, filled with fear and anger, was absorbed by the rusted forks and chipped china.

Eh it was a freak accident. I mean, sharing their stories really didnt prevent future sinkings but it is extremely important for their stories to be told. It actually did help some of the safety protocols tho. Especially those that locked the 3rd class passengers to the bottom floor thus dooming them to death. After that there had to be multiple entrances on every floor and no floor can be entirely locked if said floor is the only way to "exit" to the top deck.

My ancestor died on the Titanic, after comforting a family he’d grown close to. He was just 21, I’m proud he was remembered kindly.

All these stories are so fascinating they could have done a whole movie series with each movie focusing on different families and their lives before and after (for those who survived) the Titanic!

I can't help but wonder if the baby Violet Jessup saved really belonged to that crying woman 🤔 such a random reaction to grab and run without a word

@nathy0308 3 года назад

I immediately imagined the fantastic movie that this story would make. Maybe the mom only realized it was a different baby once she saw its sex, I surmised.

@piratesswoop725 3 года назад

The only baby that was in Violet's lifeboat, boat 16, was Assad Thomas, but he was being held by Edwina Troutt, not Violet. The women perhaps took turns soothing him during the night, but he did get reunited with his mother. But Assad Thomas died in the 1920s, so that phone call couldn't have been from him.

@Lulu-ut9pv 3 года назад

Its such a sad story, so many people were so heroic I think because of this tragedy they changed the number of how many lifeboats must be on ships Before it was based on weight instead on how many people there were actually on board so the sad truth that even if all of the lifeboats were full only 2/3 amount of people would have survived

Think about how scary it would be to have to make the decision to say goodbye to your family knowing that your children would have to grow up without you and that you will likely drown in the frozen water.

Thank you Lindsay for this video. This is by far the best video that I have seen that tell the stories of the Titanic passengers that I have seen. I have watched many because of Lady Noel, Countess of Rothes being a survivor. Being a Leslie myself, she is part of my heritage. I also had the honor of meeting her grandson, Lord Rothes a number of years back. You have done a great honor to a great lady.

@@kate_cooper Yess! It always frustrates me how people talk about space when the movie makes it to obvious that the issue isn’t space, it’s that they’re two grown adults trying to climb onto something clearly not intended to support the weight of two adults. Heck, even when it was just Rose she was still halfway in the water.

"a crying woman, presumably the mother, grabbed the baby and ran off without saying a word" 🤔🤔🤔 I can't help but think it was a mother that lost her baby, saw this one, grabbed it and ran off...wouldn't a mother be thanking the person that helped saved her baby? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

@psychedelicyeti6053 2 года назад

I thought the same

@xXbubbelXx 2 года назад

Well, somebody in shock or panicking is the last person a "would" or "should" applies to as some kind of "proof". And if the phone call is true she at least told the story to the child. But apart from that I had exactly the same thought!! What if it was a grieving mother just grabbing the next best baby. 😨 Just imagine, the real mother survives and has to assume her child is dead...

My great great grandpa was on the titanic,he had a tour to go to Europe. He was going to France first and you know everything was going good until the titanic situation occured. He was one of the last people to hop out and got severly injured and died 1 week later. Ik this because my grandma told these stories that her grandparents did[Obviouly he died way before she was born however he told her grandma]also my great great grandma was pregnant when he died,she had my great grandma and got married 18 years later and had 1 other child and never had kids again. Who died in the Korean war in 1952. Ok that was unecessary but I love sharing.I was born in 1989.[I forgot to mention he went with his brother who died in the korean. edit-so i found at that Helen was good friends with my great great grandma] Also so at the time my great great grandad was afghan however his dad was pakistani. However growing up people said he had an "unmistakable european look". He also was nearly killed after people nearly found about him however ran away to germany with a new look,new eurpoean name and even married a european girl. But sneaked in an afghan girl in the mix[a.k.a]a mistress who he ended up marrying[WERE NOT ROYALS OK LOL]but you know his german wife hated him anyway. Also people found a little bit of info on his mom but killed her anyway]but the point of this was that his dad was Abdul Karim's brother. However his brother lived in pakistan and never said a word to my family until his son died
