Titanic did not have enough time. By the time the FINAL two lifeboats were being prepared, water was washing onto the top deck so the 2 collapsables they were trying to prepare couldn't be lowered from the davits and were simply washed off the deck. And by this time, Titanic was sinking at a RAPID pace and had about 10 mins left. 10 Mins from the moment the water reached the top deck to the entire ship going beneath the waves. It was a miracle that titanic lasted so long, but not only would more lifeboats be absolutely useless, but there wasn't even time to prepare the the last 2.

@@MrWill1985 Again she didnt have enough time. If you look it up there wasn't enough time for the last 2 lifeboats to be properly prepared and were washed off the deck. And for that ship off in the distance. Its name was the SS Californian and its boilers were completely shut off for the night, which meant it would've taken hours to start up again. Not only that but it was in the middle of an ice field, so even if it wanted to go help, it was stuck. Plus the ships Wireless room was shut off after the Californian tried to warn Titanic about Icebergs, just for Titanics wireless operators got annoyed and told them off. So Californian shut its wireless room off for the night. After the sinking they stated that they thought Titanics flares were company ships communicating with each other. So they didn't even know Titanic was sinking.

The fact she sank so fast makes it so terrifying. Awesome job, too.

Your use of perspective, sea conditions, gravity, physics, and well research facts, makes this the best computerized simulation of a sinking. That's not to say some of the recent "Titanic" sims aren't as good, but this employs every true applicable condition on the liner and above the liner. This is above anything produced to date.

“yes, so what? Maybe I did look up ship sinking animation”

The thing i like about Jack's animations is how some shots are mirrors to actual shots used in movies/films about the ship in question. Around the 1:30 mark is a shot very similar to a Lusitania docudrama from the 2000s

WOW! Just WOW! The graphics are getting so realistic nowadays that it feels like we are observing the ship in 1915. I wish you could make more of this video's like an alternate reality where Britannic makes her maiden voyage after the First World War.

Hey just remember as we spoken last year to change the funnel number 4 (most forward) connected to boiler room 1 below to not smoke; boiler room number one as an auxiliary boiler room for high speed crossing was off on that trip. However all other 3 boiler rooms were on. So funnels 1, 2 and 3 (counting from the aft towards bow as Cunard did in opposite to White Star; same as we counting boiler rooms in opposite from bow to aft on Lusitania), do make lot of smoke. Water rushed inside; 45seconds - 1.30 minute later second explosion - most likely steam ruptured- occurred, crew panics or is simply unable to fight incoming water and run away leaving manually operating bunker hatches between boiler rooms and the flooding coal bunkers wide open for the sea. Ship becomes to flood and within probably 9-10 minutes takes on as much as 10-12,000 tons of water. She was, after 15 minutes roughly in the same condition as Titanic after 2 hours and 20 minutes of sinking. As portholes opened on F and E deck, watertight compartments above the boiler rooms become redundant, and water progresses further up, getting to C deck within 10 minutes after the torpedo impact. Simply a combination of massive destructive damage caused by 250kgs of TNT on the torpedo, steam rapture, crew inability to close the door, and extreme rate of flooding on multiple decks simultaneously, nailed all Lusitania’s abilities to stay afloat and survive something what theoretically was constructed for, based on war ship designs.

OUTSTANDING!!! Well Detailed And Well Accurate. I Call This Video A "Ture Blockbuster Original Masterpiece." And It Deserves An Emmy Award.

RIP To the 1,195 passengers and crew who were killed in the sinking of the RMS Lusitania

This is beautifully done. The animation, the sounds, the shot composition. Top notch! While I'm not very knowledgeable about Lusitania, this looks pretty accurate to me. Interestingly enough, there is a sketch from a survivor that depicts Lusitania plunging bodily, while quite a few accounts recall the stern rising into the air.

How am I just now finding out that you have a KZread channel?! First of all, this animation was breathtaking from start to finish!! Secondly, I must say that every single time I see your work whether it’s the Lusitania, Empress of Ireland, or the Titanic. You always never cease to amaze me!

Excellent video! For those curious about the significance of the sinking of the Lusitania in the context of World War I, here’s some insight: Among Lusitania’s dead were 123 Americans, and this sinking enraged the United States, who was largely committed to not getting involved in WWI at this point. In response to this sinking and to stave off the potential US entry into the war, Germany established the Sussex Pledge, where they promised that any ship targeted by a U-boat would be warned beforehand and the people evacuated before the ship was sunk. The United States would not enter World War I until 1917. Contrary to popular belief though, while the sinking of the Lusitania was a big factor in the United States’ eventual decision, it was not the deciding factor or the biggest factor- that would be the Zimmerman telegram; which came about a year and a half after the Lusitania sank EDIT: It was brought to my attention that it was the sinking of the SS Sussex that actually inspired the Sussex pledge; I apologize for the confusion; seems my history textbook from high school oversimplified the story

Also, i noticed that some elements lost their hard edges during the export. Like funnel bases or boxes with ropes and life-vests.

My great great grandfather survived the sinking, he was deck hand and was on promenade deck working when the Torpedo struck. His best friend was trapped in the forward storage bunker which only had a electric elevator in and out. When the electric went out all the men down there were doomed. Ome of the reasons that emergency exits became mandatory. He lived a long life and never forgot his friend. My grandmother said he would talk of him even up until the day he passed on. He was gone before I was even a thought but 40 years on the oceans.

Omg fantastic work

fantastic Animation... feeling real event

Finally s theory that's very accurate to the survivor testimony and new sketches I found

Nice one Jack, just one mistake though - funnel number 4 wouldn’t have been smoking as boiler room number 1 was non operational at that crossing (we remember of course in Cunard line we count funnels from aft to bow and boiler rooms in opposite direction - differently to WSL). As you know the most forward boiler room was treated as auxiliary one and used at maximum speeds, as otherwise the hot steam would have lose too much pressure while travelling all ten way aft while boiler room 4 was being off, made no sense, a standard practice back in days. Kaiser Klass liners used their unique boiler rooms layout in exactly same way. As for saving the coal due to war effort the auxiliary boiler room 1 was off, thus your animation is mistaken here as the smoke would have come from funnels 1,2 and 3 not 4. Also the explosion would have most likely occurred about 30-60 seconds after the first one, as water would have first flood shattered by torpedo’s explosion coal bunkers and then enter the boiler rooms via open hatches. The boilers would probably explode, damaging some area inside, but above all making the crew to panic and escape, consequently leaving bunker hatches open and allowing thousands tons of water to flood 3 boiler rooms almost simultaneously. I am working on a book, where i will explore it in more details, however you can read my articles here; facebook.com/groups/titanicandhersisterscommunity/permalink/961920731722223/ Otherwise, mate, you do an incredible job, thank you!!! 👏👍👍

This is 1 of my 2 favorite ships, i couldnt pick just 1 do i put both together, the hmhs britanic and lusitania are amazing to me

Very well done!

I watched the documentary today about that ship very sad what happened I kind of wish they had your animation very very well done

This is remarkable!

Amazing video!

The fact that out of 48 lifeboats only 6 were launch successfully those were lifeboats 1,11,13,15 and 21 lifeboat 19 floated upside down after its failed launching

It is awful how some of the lifeboats broke loose and crashed through the crowd on deck - that would have been terrible to see in real life

Great work🎉

Amazing animation, I also think the sounds are great! Though if you read about the sinking itself the decks were apparently actually quite quiet and eerily calm. (If u want a minor tip check your use of apostrophes! A couple are wrong)

Amazing!
