1912: don't take pictures at meal times Today: procedes to take picture of toasted white bread and avacados

To think we might not even had some of those well-known photos if Browne's boss hadn't made him come back. Apparently, Browne had befriended a millionaire couple while on board, and they offered to buy him ticket all they way to New York. When he telegraphed his boss, the response was "Get off that ship".

Actually since the Titanic and Olympic were supposed to be furnished and decorated almost identical to each other the Olympic photos are still relevant - interesting because the Cunard Line’s Mauretania and Lusitania were quite different internally, as if they wanted each ship to have its own identity. I don’t know if there are photos of the Brittanic of a few years later to see how it may have differed from the Olympic aside from some additional features (children’s playroom, hair salon etc.).

I thought there was only around 5 interior photos. Boy was I wrong! It's surreal knowing that that is inside one of the most famous piece of history in the world! Another great and informative video of this channel!

Tbf, a lot of these photos aren't actually of the Titanics interior. Fun little fact is the majority, if not all of these, are from the Titanics sister ship, the RMS Olympic, the first of the Big 3 'Olympic Class' to be completed. Although the RMS TITANIC had a huge fanfare, it was nowhere as to that of the Olympics' fanfare, and thus very few photos were ever taken of the Titanic, and even fewer inside the ship. Either way, it's rather hard to spot, due to the Titanic and Olympic having a very similar interior design. One of the biggest giveaways is B Deck, which had the exclusive A la carte restaurant, of which Olympic didn't have, as well as an enclosed promenade deck. To this day, many of the shots taken on the boardwalk of Titanic are disputed, as it could very well be that of either Olympic or Titanic. Sorry to be a bit of a downer, but it's still fascinating nevertheless.

I would love to try it out that bicycle racing simulator they had in the Titanic gymnasium. Photographs of it make it look so interesting.

I wonder how many pictures went down with the ship.

There was a passenger in Second Class by the name of Willliam Harbeck, and he was photographing the maiden voyage so that some of it could be used later for White Star publicity. Harbeck was traveling with his associate (and likely mistress), Henriette Yrois. They both died in the sinking and the film and pictures they had were destroyed. According to schoolteacher Lawrence Beesley’s account, Harbeck and his “wife” were present in Southampton to witness the near collision between the Titanic and the S.S. New York, and they captured the moment. It would have been interesting to see the film and photographs, if they had only survived.

The picture of Lightoller Murdoch was most interesting considering it still shows Lightoller with first officer stripes. Murdoch most certainly had chief officer stripes, neither having time to change when Wilde came aboard on April 10th.

And this is exactly why I’m THAT person taking photos on every trip, or just any old fun excursions I do. I refuse to have my memories like Rose so beautifully said, “He exists now, only in my memory.”

It's a shame that there wasn't anymore photos of Titanic.

Amazing job on the video! It is still a great number of photographs considering the short amount of time Titanic was around.

Agreed. Even with digital pictures, the timing it still absolutely everything. I treasure the first pictures of my mixed-media maritime art when I started at 10 26 years ago. I did not have the fuller forethought to take more of what I was doing to then accurately record what I did make. Now at over 300 works and a few exhibitions, its important to remember those first steps. (The original first piece of mine was recreated for the biggest show mostly because I still had the rudimentary parts and from memory!) With regards to the real ships mentioned here, we have to figure that Titanic was an evolutionary event before the sinking at a time when crossings were not as romanticized as they are now. If we were still traveling by ship as most people still were by the 1950s, we would probably not love it as much ;) (Who will remember jet liners until they are replaced by something new.)

Hey, I just watched you vid, thank you so much for sharing. I never knew that all the photos were not of Titanic! Always loved everything Titanic. Have a 3 foot model of it in my living room.

I am not an expert by any means and never claim to be but have witnessed it on various platforms online especially some FB groups & I just feel it's so toxic. I've seen one lady I know post a photo of herself in the Thomson Dry Dock and because she got the name wrong, had a few people "correct her" in a very nasty way. Just was so unnecessary likewise today I just posted some artwork of Titanic found online that was never meant to be a true mathematical depiction of her at sea, it was just a beautiful piece of artwork of seeing the ship during the evening from a beach & someone proceeded to comment "a little too close to the shore" I just grit my teeth and think why? Why be that person? I've posted about it before and had a lot of people resonate with what I've said. I know it's only a few and thankful many of the community are gracious and happily share their knowledge without the elitist attitude.

Matt, when you mention the Cork Examiner, would you care to expand on what retouching was done to that image please?

Double exposures on antique cameras are extremely easy. The film advance, shutter wind, shutter release are all separate mechanisms. I learned photography on a 1930's-1940's 2.25" x 3.25" Speed Graphic, and often questioned myself if I had advanced the film or not. Classic photography is definitely and art where you learn for your mistakes.

What is the piano music in the background?? It's so good!
