You can find it too,i know quite a bit myself Google dr Paul lee and his pages he covers alsorts and there are all the lifeboat survivor accounts it's really interesting and fascinating. Pretty much covers everything,j just put in 'Dr Paul lee TITANIC ' one thing most don't know is that the fourth funnel was used for the smoke from the 1st class smoking room and also one of the gallies. Only a bit came through but it's true,other things like Alexander Carlysle was the builder of TITANIC not Thomas Andrews he just finished her and there are lots of things it's really interesting I spent hours looking through stuff then reading it again.

You totally need to use the sippy cup in the next video, but without mentioning or addressing it. Just deadpan drinking from it. Lol.

Video ideas : What if the damage had happened to the back of the ship? Could it have changed how quickly the Ship went down? Also, if there had been enough Life Boats, could everyone have been saved in the time they had? Keep up the good work. I'm hooked on your channel.

That look on his face when Rachel gave him the sippy cup---priceless. Another great video as always, Sam. Can't wait for the next one. (Jan Griffiths).

Man I am loving this channel. Being a Titanic enthusiast, I’ve learned a lot about the ship, so I decided to binge watch a your vids and man have I learned a lot more. I’ve been fascinated by this ship since I was around 8 and have seen the Cameron film nearly 1000 times. I may be a little obsessed haha. Anyway man, I just wanted to say hello and encourage you to keep going. Not only have I seen the Titanic stuff but your video on Mt.

I live in Sydney Australia, like you Iam a huge Titanic enthusiast, have been since watching a movie in 1974 when I was 11 Titanic with Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb, and have been fascinated with it ever since.when I was 30 in 1994 I took my first big trip to Canada and America.The high light of the trip was going to Halifax in Nova Scotia,to Maritime museum of the Atlantic they have a Titanic wing there wasn't much there at the time.I went back in 2005 and the had more relics it was very fascinating.I went to Fairview cemetery where 150 victims are buried for me it quite emotional experience thinking of the hell these poor went through. Like you have seen James Cameron's Titanic don't how many times. I saw it the day it opened in Sydney, and must have gone once a week for it's entire run got the video when it came out then the DVD I must be crazy. LoL.

The square footage of the ice damage was about 12 square foot, about 3 feet by 4 foot area. The square footage of the gangway door was about 34 square feet, a big difference, I think I got my math right.

The coal they had moved from the starboard side to the port side to deal with the bunker fire would have played on the list as well. Also while on the subject of sippy cups they have some pretty cool ones now. My 1 and half year old has some cups I can recommend lol.

Every time I think I there is nothing else I can learn you teach me something new. I had no idea that the gangway door space was greater than what was created by the iceberg. Absolutely nuts

That ending was so good and hilarious 😂😂

First of all, your Videos are just great, informative and made with this very special touch. This kinda makes me feel at home just like Tom Lynskey does when he starts talking about the Titanic or anything White Star. I'd love to see you two have a discussion about Ocean Liners and White Star or Cunard. Also I needed to laugh out so loud when Rachel came and gave you that sipy cup. Your face at 11:20 was just hilarious Keep it going man

I like this narrator. Very well researched and smart.

The gangway door started flooding at 1:15. It took another 1 hr 5 mins to sink. Since the area of the gangway door was equal to the rivet damage, if this door was closed, the titanic would have had an additional 1 hr 5 mins. That means, instead of sinking at 2:20, she would have gone down at 3:25. And ya, apart from that as in my last comment in the last video, the stern may have stayed afloat, thereby preventing the full ship from sinking. And even the bow would have sunk after the break at around 3:15 or so.

Nice cup Sam. Good thinking Rachel. At least the video got to have the cutie on it LOL

10.15. i would say that this image shows a much later point of the sinking, more around 1.50 or even close to 2.00 AM. With the Gangway door submerged, the flooding increased at a factor of 2-3 and that would gave the ship not much time to stay afloat. 1.35 AM was-in my opinion-the earliest time the water even reached this Gangway doors base. ...The water did not reach the door zone until around 1:40 a.m. Survivors reported that the bow and the well deck only disappeared into the water shortly before 2 a.m. and that, given the inclination of the ship, that was about the time the door must have been completely sunk. With a size of 2.6 m², the door had twice the area of ​​the suspected iceberg damage of 1.3 m² and the open door increased the flooding of the ship by a factor of 3! It is relatively easy to mathematically calculate when the door was flooded by using two different sink rates, one before the door was flooded and one after it. Before that, the average rate of descent was 8-10 cm per minute; after the door was flooded, it increased by a factor of 3 to approx. 25-30 cm per minute. The distance between the sea level when the door was submerged and the bridge was around 7 meters. So when the door was completely submerged, the navigation bridge only protruded approx. 7 meters above the water level and the forward welldeck was already clearly flooded. 7 meters divided by 25 centimeters accelerated rate of descent as a result of the open door result in about 28. 28 minutes! So after the open door was completely flooded, the ship still had 28 minutes before the outer waterline reached the bridge - in very simplified terms. As is well known, the water reached the bridge at around 2:10 a.m. This time minus 28 minutes gave us the time 1:41 a.m. In summary, this means that the sinking could have been slowed down considerably if the door had been closed completely. The ship would not have sunk by 25 centimeters per minute over these last 7 meters, but more slowly, perhaps per only 8-10 centimeters. So the last twenty to thirty minutes of the sinking could have been delayed almost twice as long, i.e. about 45-55 minutes longer. Of course, this calculation does not take into account the additional open portholes, the flooded welldeck or the foredeck, through which additional water flowed in and we dont know the number of open portholes.

I accidentally stumbled on your videos. Now am hooked. Coming from what was a big shipbuilding town on the North East coast of England ☺️

i love your videos! the way you talk and smile shows that you really love making those videos! you deserve way more subscribers, thanks for everything!

If the gangway door and portholes were closed do you think the sinking would have been delayed long enough for the Carpathia to reach Titanic?

I hope they find Sir John Franklin's Crew in this episode.

Thank you for another great video, Sam. That sippy cup... Gotta love siblings! 😆

What I think is that the 300 tons of coal that was added may have contributed a little to the list to port, the D deck gangway door was the main cause for the titanic to list to port, Scotland road was also a factor of the list. Had Andrews looked into these factors more closely, he may have gotten his predictions correct. Once again a great video sam! Also the ending was funny haha!

Thanks. I like your comprehensive looks at the Titanic and other ships.

Another good one. Keep em coming.

Here's a suggestion---attach a cup holder to your desk. An adjustable one. I did, and no more spills. The one I have has a velcro strap, and can hold any size drink can or cup. (Jan Griffiths).

She knocked a glass of juice onto my laptop 😱 there was no saving it... It fried - smoked a bit... I still have it... I don't want to throw it away incase photos can miraculously be retrieved.. my daughter is now 14 😁😁

The Fist Class Reception Area door was still open when the wreck was discovered. I believe it has since fallen off.

I've often wondered if there have been any studies of how the sinking would have been different if the D deck gangway door hadn't been opened. How much more time would it have remained afloat?

You should have had a glass shattering or crash effect when you tossed the cup at the end 😂. Great Video!

Fantastic video!

I love this channel.

To put the D-deck gangway into context - the estimated total iceberg damage to the ship was 12 square feet. The size of the gangway was 3' by 6'6" - 19.5 square feet. Once the water reached that point, suddenly there was a 150% increase in water ingress area (and yes, I understand, it took for the gangway to be fully submerged for that increase to happen). Controversially, I've believed now for decades that if that gangway had remained shut there's a chance the ship may have lasted hours longer. Possibly not even sank. There is anecdotal evidence that the hydrostatic head at the front of the ship had nearly equalised by the time the water reached here. And, ironically enough, with the slight starboard list and Scotland Road being on the port side, this would have limited the Scotland Road effect. The two things which I firmly believed doomed the ship that night were this gangway and the possibly fire-weakened coal-bunker bulkhead collapse. And yes, I realise I am saying that both Andrews and Edward Wilding were wrong in their calculations. I believe they both calculated worse-case scenarios based on departure draft and load-trim.

I could also theorize that the list to port was encouraged by the result of moving all of the coal in the coal bunker of boiler room 5 because of the fire that had taken hold a couple of days ago.

This channel is amazing

You're doing so great job, your videos are so interesting, I've always been fascinated about the story of Titanic, and thanks to you I get the chance to increase my knowledge about it, so keep on doing your job, it's a pleasure to listen to you, greetings from Poland! 😁

Your titanic model and videos really inspired me about titanic i have watched way too many videos on titanic and even built my own model of titanic i wish their was a way i could show you but i dont know where to send it. Anyways great video keep up the good work!

The Great tea spill incident

Awesome video

Actually, one way to confirm that the portside D-Deck door was opened would be if we could find any testimony by anyone in the lifeboats, particularly Boat 6, if they recollect seeing the door or any similar gangway door open on the ship during the sinking. I cannot find any that would corroborate Lightoller's statement and the men that went down to carry out his order did not survive. The other fact to consider is how closely the sinking of the Titanic matched the calculations of Thomas Andrews, indicating that the sinking was not accelerated, at least not enough by the door being opened or rather not opened as the case may be.

great video great video

Great job Sam

Gutting about your old Mac book pro but Glad you got a New one Sam👍 Very interesting Video 😁

8:13 : And not just that: You have the Scotland Road, right below the D-deck that started to take water: It was still full of air and this LONG corridor is located on the port side of the ship. This contributed to the list. *Continue watching* Wow! I saw you coming. ^^

I feel the same about my 05 Impala with over 225k miles. She was good but time to give the old gal a rest.

Sippy cup...... Priceless!

The opening of the D Derck door was done for a number of reasons, firstly there were a number of booms projecting out of the side of the Titanic just below the boat Deck, secondly a number of female passengers refused to try and get into the life boats from the Boat Deck because the gap between them and the hight of the Boat Deck and the water, and finally there were a number of life boats launched below capacity. These boats had been tested with 70 + workers from Harland and Wolff during Titanic's construction. You have to look at Charles Lightoller's point of veiw, he and a number of the other senior officers believed that the ship would reach a point where the bulkheads would hold and slow if not stop the sinking, so she got 6 men including the Deck Crew's Head Albert Big Neck Nichols to go down open the door and try and get these part filled boats back and add more passengers to them. He took his order from CHarles Lightoller and he and his men went below to do their duty and were never seen again. Why did Charles Lightoller forget about the D Deck door being open to the sea, well he was trying to prep the remaining life boats to be launched and since a number of the Deck Crew had gone to open the door he was short staffed, and this is why not so many of the trained deck crew were not free to man the remaining life boats. These stories such as the one for Albert Big Neck Nichols are as important to the story of the the loss of the SS Titanic as any other story, be it Thomas Andrew, or J Bruce Ismay.

This is about when the horror is going to happen, Life Boats gone, slipping faster under the sea. Where do I go next !,

Hahaha Rachel got you a sippy cup i couldn't stop laughing.

🌊🌊🌊🌊🚢 (Next time don’t have food near the computer)

You should use the cup lol 😂 It’d make for a hilarious piece

I don't know if I can fully accept that the D-Deck gangway door was ever opened. We have 2 arguments that it was: 1. Lightoller sent Bo'sun "Big Neck" Nichols down to open it and 2. it is open on the wreck. But we have no way of knowing whether Nichols and his crew succeeded in their efforts - they never reported back to Lightoller and, in fact, were never seen again. Lightoller himself assumed they were lost in the effort. As far as the door being open on the wreck, it is POSSIBLE that that is mere coincidence. In fact, on the wreck, only ONE of the 2 doors is open. The other remains shut. That means either Nichols and his crew DID succeed in opening the first door, and were 'overwhelmed' before they could open the other, or the door opened either on bottom impact or other circumstance somehow during the descent, and the fact that a door Lightoller ordered open being in fact open is, as I said, just coincidence. It's significant that, not only is only ONE of the 2 doors opened, but I can't recall offhand any survivor testimony as to seeing a or the doors opened from a vantage point where they COULD see it (but I could be drawing a blank on it at the moment) Lightoller was in fact supervising the loading of the lifeboats on that side, and never was aware of the door being opened - I would think that, if he happened to look down the ships' side, he would be able to see at least somewhat of a 'glow' of light coming from inside of an opened D-Deck door below him, leading him to have someone investigate whether his previous order had been carried out - he would have seen it, as he had intended it - as an aid to helping him load the boats. Basically, I'm saying the argument that the door was even open to cause the sinking to accelerate has to remain conjecture.

best video end ever

You can lift a sunken ship with pingpongballs. If you would have an aircompressor and a buttload of balloons, you could fill the compromised compartments with air filled balloons on ship.

You once showed a video of what happend below deck in the boiler rooms, what was the name of this video/movie? It showed the collapse of the coal bunker.

"I met a great guy on facebook marketplace..." and that was the last time we heard from Historic Travels

what laws changed after the sinking? Was sending false distress signals, for example, now more curtailed? What construction changes were implemented?

6:50 singing

@Historic Travels, can you do a what if video on if Scotland Road was able to be blocked off at the watertight bulkheads and if the gangway door wouldn't have been opened? Lumped together for this reason: how long would the ship have survived had those two factors not existed as they did.

Great video again. Question, couldn't they run simulations to determine 'if' the door was open, and if it was, if it was responsible for the port side shift in the singing? Likewise, the impact of the door being open to the speed of the sinking?
