Hey Matt, I have a question in regards of the correct orders Murdoch's made. I do believe he ordered stop, but I found out that Boxhall wasn't the only person to have claimed the engines were in reverse. In a 1957 interview, Quartermaster George Rowe, who was standing on the poop deck at the time of the collision, said "The engines were going Full Speed Astern, and so I put the log in." I suppose he allegedly saw this on one of the telegraphs on the docking bridge. Here's the interview: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIqAy7yoZrPRkc4.html. I'm just curious about this and would like to hear your take on it.

13:55 Thomas Andrews was last seen with Captain Smith on the bridge. That's something we didn't know.

I was under the impression that prior to the Titanic, most people assumed that pretty much any modern vessel was "practically unsinkable". Captain Smith's famous comments about not being able to imagine a condition under which a modern ship would founder were regarding the Adriatic, when he took her over on her maiden voyage a few years prior to the Titanic.

@Daniel_Huffman

2 жыл бұрын

That is correct. During Smith’s command of the _Adriatic,_ Dr. Williams, a friend of his, asked what would happen if _Adriatic_ struck a concealed ice reef and was damaged badly. Smith replied, “Some of us would go to the bottom with the ship,” hinting that he would go down with his command if confronted with disaster. Part of me wonders if Smith’s statement about modern shipbuilding was just something to increase the public’s trust in the White Star Line, and not a view he actually had.

The manner in which the ship broke apart is such a big topic he'll probably do an entire video on it sooner or later.

Yes they were called unsinkable, but a lot of it wasn’t meant to be taken literally. Everyone knew that if you put a good enough hole in the thing it would sink. And the claim of “God himself cannot sink Titanic” is very questionable. People today think that the entire public of 1912 was fascinated by the unsinkability of Titanic and were defying God to sink her. That’s not true at all, and it’s a shame that so many today think that. Also, Lusitania and Mauretania were called unsinkable too, as well as many other (at the time) modern ocean liners.

I feel the same for Stanley Lord of the Californian. He did his job by the book, and gets blamed for not coming to Titanic's rescue. We know now that there was cold water mirage which made Titanic look smaller to the crew of the Californian. The Californian wireless operator did warn Titanic's wireless operators about icebergs and was insulted. Since Californian's operator worked for Marconi and his shift was done, it was his right to go to sleep. They tried Morse Lamping and missed each other signals. History showed that Lord was right about Titanic's coordinates (17 miles apart), and even though the Californian was in the area, they were still too far in an environment filled with ice to come to Titanic's rescue. People like to say that Californian could have saved everyone on Titanic, but forget that Californian is a smaller and slower ship filled with cargo. Most nautical experts say had Californian attempted a rescue, they would have arrived the same time as Carpathia (even Carpathia had a hard time finding the survivors because they were given the wrong coordinates). Unfortunately Titanic just wasn't lucky that night.

It was HIS COMPANY that skipped the second lifeboat drill. It was HIS COMPANY that drove the ship full speed into KNOWN ICE DANGER. And if you say “well every ship was doing that”, the Californian stopped for the night. Ismay didn’t ram the berg, but as the chairman of the line, he was on the hook for a whole hell of a lot of the circumstances that led to that event. Then he has the audacity to escape WHEN OTHER FIRST CLASS MEN WERE DENIED A PLACE (Astor).

Thanks, Matthew. Here's another little fact that might be interesting: according to Milton Watson in his book “Flagships of the Line” (page 98), the term “practically unsinkable” was applied to the Augusta Victoria of 1889. HAPAG, the owner, printed this term (presumably in German) in a brochure where they stressed the safety features, such as the double bottom and the redundancy built into the engines, of this ship. The Augusta Victoria was the first of a new class of luxury express Atlantic liners, conceived by HAPAG director Albert Ballin. This very much suggests that the claim “practically unsinkable” might well have been a common advertising ploy intended to reassure prospective passengers already two decades before the Titanic, and that when “The Shipbuilder” later described the new Olympic class in the same terms, that journal was merely borrowing an old cliché. Incidentally, not only the Augusta Victoria but also her three sisters - Columbia, Normannia (later L’Aquitaine) and Fürst Bismarck - enjoyed successful fifteen-year careers on the North Atlantic, and ended their days peacefully at the scrapyard.

These make alot more sence then alot of the other titanic facts that I've read or seen videos on.

Oh the passive aggressive shade is on point lol. Keep these coming, Matthew, you’re a riot 😂

Thank You Matthew. Ive subscribed because of this video!

Another myth is that titanic would still be around today and be one of the most famous ocean liners of all time if she never sunk. Uh-huh so famous her identical sister must be huge today. But whenever I mention the Olympic to anyone they tilt their heads in confusion "the what?". Also titanic would've been scrapped anyway.

It was a luxurious ship for sure.

Generally speaking, I imagine every ship ever constructed from the beginning of shipbuilding was designed to be unsinkable. Excepting perhaps submarines…and the rowboat with the Flex Seal screen door for a bottom.

If there was ever a historical figure I HATED more than life itself. It's William Randolph Hurst.

(This is meant as a joke, btw). In a geriatric home in Louisiana in 2005, a patient in his 90’s suffering from Alzheimer’s says: “My name is Frank ‘Lucky’ Towers, and I survived the Titanic disaster, the Empress of Island sinking, the Lusitania torpedoing, the Hindenburg explosion, the Andrea Doria capsizing, 9/11, and served in both world wars. I might also have survived Noah’s Flood and the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, but I can’t remember.” Then Hurricane Katrina hits. “Oh, no, here we go again!”

What I find quite interesting is that most of these facts were portrayed with quite a degree of accuracy in A Night To Remember, discounting the break and Andrew's last moments, I find that film remarkable in how even handed it portrays everyone from Captain Smith to Bruce Ismay... with the possible exception that they overstated Lightollers importance. I do enjoy the fact that, in the scene where the last collapsible is being lowered off the officer's quarters, the actors playing Murdoch and Moody are actually there when the wave comes up. They were trying to follow where these men were reported as best they could... though why Wilde and Pitman are ignored I dont know. What a great film that is.

And, yes, he was identified by effects on him, but in this scenario, I’d imagine that they’d be in bad shape too. In fact, I’d say that if Astor was crushed, his body would have been buried at sea, much like the body of, for example, Chief Purser McElroy. Despite what the press may tell you that first-class were prioritized, the crew’s decisions on which bodies to bury at sea were based on their condition, not class. There were plenty of first and second-class bodies that they buried at sea, and many third-class bodies that were kept aboard and taken to Halifax.

No idea if this can be confirmed or not, but was Captain Smith going to retire after Titanic's return maiden voyage, or would he have remained in command until Britannic was ready, then taken her on her maiden voyage as well? I once heard that Smith would've remained in command of Titanic "until a larger, grander ship was ready". Is there any way to know if there's any truth to that?

When the Titanic sank you didn't know that the stunts the Titanic split in two of the inspection joint plus the water the watertight doors and the Buckhead if they had water pumps with pump out the water out not the newest ships have

Actually, Titanic was rammed by a special U boat made entirely out of ice as a clever disguise. It was also 100 percent unmanned thanks to the new innovations in ice technology at the time.

I was watching a documentary on a DVD of A Night to Remember that I have where one of the people being interviewed said that Eva Hart “swore” that it was 1958 film’s version when it came to being asked about the version. That’s the only source I have though. It came on a DVD of A Night to Remember that I bought back in 2006. I’m going along with what Titanic Honor and Glory’s team says, because I do believe them to be the most accurate, but I am curious, did Eva Hart actually say anything about the version of the hymn?

14:18, the Titanic could not have broken in two like that, here is why: If the ship had broken from the top-down, the bow section wouldn't have hung off the stern section by the keel because it wasn't that strong. If that had happened, the keel would have snapped almost instantly but the bow section would still start swinging downwards and dislodging the boilers, but ALL of the bow section's boilers are still on their beds. If the ship had broken from the top-down, the stern section would've caused a huge splash, but a few survivor accounts comment on the fact that there wasn't one. Most people don't take the Titanic's expansion joints into account, they were made to allow the ship to bend. Here are some other interesting things about the breakup: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZupl6-omZWtdbA.html

I've seen one hypothesis (besides that he was simply wrong, which is still probably the most likely) about why Boxhall reported engines Astern that's based on a variation of rudder cycling (a way of stopping the ship before _eventually_ putting it into reverse,) but with the current evidence we have, we probably can never confirm that's what happened, and it's safer to say it was just engines stopped.

Matt, you and the team have gone on QM2 before, right? I really want to do at least one crossing in the next few years, but I have such a hard time doing it because I'm pretty sure 90% of the passengers are above the age of 50 and I'm not sure what would keep me occupied beyond trying to tour the ship and see the cool areas like the bridge and stuff if they'd let me.

Titanic is just chilling at the bottom rn

My bad if hypotheticals are too much of a rabbit hole to dive into but what do folks have to say about the claim that the disaster could've been avoided hadbthe iceberg been spotted just 30 seconds earlier. Also apparently there's a claim she could've stayed afloat had the ship rammed the iceberg head on, but some iirc had argued "Who would want to go down in history as the person who rammed head first into an iceberg?"

That last one is true. Porting around an object to avoid collision was standard practice. Deviating from it would be quite disastrous for that person's career, even if it had saved the ship.

@@ChakatBlackstar it wouldn't have saved the ship either. It would have warped her frame so badly the bulkhead doors may not have been able to close, not to mention knocking out all power completely. It would have been like the situation in _Futility_ if not worse. As for avoiding the collision by just another thirty seconds' warning? In all likelihood, yes, it would have worked. With how light the impact was, it's reasonable to say that the turn necessary to avoid the collision was almost complete. Another half minute would have been plenty of time to clear it. Just another tragic near-success that could have saved so many that night.

I keep wondering where do you get those high resolution pictures of both Olympic and Titanic. I've been searching for some to print ant frame but they're quite expensive. Would gladly accept any indications where to find some.

I have a question for @Titanic University. So we see many photos of titanic stern bridge what would of operations been like using the bridge. So I know it would of been used for docking and such. What would those operation be like on titanic how many officers would have been their and just other types of things that would of gone on while it was in use

I love Titanic University! Thank you for your work! ❤️ This ship has been my obsession since I was 6. I agree with 100% of these facts. However, as my profession and degree is acting, I need to point only one thing - sometimes, and only sometimes, it’s a little little difficult to understand you. But only sometimes. Consider of improving your diction just a little bit. I’m sorry, it’s not hate, just a small suggestion from your faithful student. ❤️

I hate to do it Matthew but I have to say your like my childhood hero but real... Fox Mulder the truth is out there... Keep up the good work.. and p.s. you guys could make a killing selling operational light fixtures that are replicas of the Titanic I know a lot of people that would but them

Hey there, I was wondering what your opinion of the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN is!

I have long been thinking if the titanic hit the iceburg head on would that have helped the ship with either not sinking or have had lasted longer afloat to have saved all the passengers and crew

if Titanic hit the berg head-on, the bow would’ve crumpled like an accordion, crushing and killing anyone inside, and (possibly) would’ve sunk even faster.

I'm curious as to where the nursery was aboard Titanic or if it even existed. I can't find any references other than passengers stating it existed, and a single reference from one of my books saying it replaced the starboard side verandah and palm court. However, I believe there was a photo that father Brown took showing the starboard vpc and it was a distant shot that still showed dining tables. Does anybody have a source? Thanks!!!

Could use some info about whether Ismay really took part in changing the outdated lifeboat regulations after the sinking or not. that oughtta help putting his record straight

He didn't, but _Olympic's_ designer, Alexander Carlisle, did his damnedest-he even quit H&W to go work for a davit manufacturing firm designing bigger and better systems for launching more boats.

All things that happen on a ship are the sole responsibility of the captain. Where or not you think it is fair or right or even agree with this, Captain Smith is responsible for the Titanic disaster.

I think if he had lived his career would have definitely been over there's just no way he would have been able to continue with the White Star line given the amount of deaths The public's perception of a disaster and the newspapers relentless coverage. He would have definitely lost his master license if he had lived.

Question. When Titanic was sinking i have seen different depictions of her power outages, some showing the power fluctuating wildly and some depictions showing a more consistent flow of power ? - i don't know why this question was deleted so i'll write it again.

@DarthMeteos

The power likely did fluctuate. There was a general trend of the lights dimming more and more as the power level dropped. Late in the sinking, there's testimony of the lights flickering, and earlier on people saw lights on under the water.

Yeah I've seen different fluctuations, some depictions show the occasional outage that lasts up to a minute or two with no power, while others show a less aggressive fluctuation. In Saving the Titanic docu drama theres no power for a good few minutes shown.

Yeah theres a bit where the Electricians have to divert power and the stokers are willing the Lamps to come back on after being off for a moment, its quite a tense scene. i enjoyed Saving the Titanic for its perspective of the crew below deck.

Question: when i search up "The iceberg that sank titanic" i see tons of pictures of pointy shaped bergs, and then i see another article, claiming that a man saw an iceberg a few miles away from the site where titanic sank, but he didnt know at the time that titanic had sunk, and he allegedly saw red paint on the iceberg, indicating that a ship collided with it. So, Red paint, ship collision, few miles from Titanic sinking area... Seems legit right? what do you think? What baffles me is the fact that this was apparently 6 hours after titanic sank and this man didnt see any bodies laying around in the water.

I have a question about NMGTT song . Was Wallace Hartley the only one playing the song or was the rest of the band playing and if the band was playing would they have to play the version of NMGTT they all knew?

if titanic didnt stop engine would it turn faster? since the center properllor wouldnt handy cap the rudder if it stopped

@evanb244

4 жыл бұрын

That is correct: the easiest way to get a high rate of turn in a ship is to put the rudder over with the engine operating ahead. However, flat plate rudders (like the Titanic's), are incredibly inefficient; modern rudders are foils that produce a sideways 'lift' when turned. This is more or less a moot point, however, as a ship at sea speed takes a LOT of effort to turn, and in this case likely only would have shifted the point of impact further aft (ships turn from the stern), unless the maneuver was started much sooner. In addition, even with a rudder hard over, it is counter-intuitive to add MORE throttle when you are pointing at danger, unless it was planned. Source: I am a licensed ship's officer
