The Titanic before and after the disaster, like you've never seen before in color! [A.I. enhanced]
My documentary shows Titanic while it was being built at the Harland & Wolff shipyard at Belfast and the sad events after this beautiful ship hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage and sunk on 15 april 1912. We have used our film restoration skills to best ability to show what happened after this terrible disaster in full color. The many film fragments have been motion-stabilized, speed-corrected, meticulously enhanced and colorized by means of state-of-the art Artificial Intelligence software.
The film starts with the only existing footage of RMS Titanic while it still was being finalized at the Harland and Wolfe shipyard in Belfast. Many people still try to claim that this was not the Titanic but her sister ship RMS Olympic because of the clearly visible open structure of the "A" deck, also know as the Promenade deck. However, history experts have confirmed that this film was probably shot around 15 February 1912. In the following weeks most of the A-deck was closed-in except about one third of the ship's length from the bow.
What many people don't seem to know is that the Titanic left Belfast on the 10th of Apil 1912 from where it sailed to Southampton. During four days it remained in port at Southampon before taking on the passengers for its first Atlantic Ocean crossing to New York in America. On its way to New York it made an intermediate stop at Cherbourg in France, which is another lesser known fact.
The story of the Titanic hitting the iceberg is well-known and therefore will not be elaborated further in this description.
The film goes on to show the Carpathia on its return from the disaster site with the survivors back to New York, including a glimpse of its captain Rostron. There is also a scene showing Father Browne who was the first to spot the life boats in the water when the Carpathia came to the rescue.
You will view an extremely rare scene of the tragedy being announced in English newspapers including paperboys scrambling to get a hold of a stack of news papers to sell. Also a church service in London is part of the footage.
Furthermore, we see Guilliermo Marconi and his wife in New York shortly after Titanic sank. Marconi was the inventor of radio communication which helped to save many lives because the Carpathia picked up Titanic's distress signals. The film ends with sad scenes of the Mackay Bennett that sailed to the location four days after to recover the remaining bodies from the sea.

Timeline:
00:00 The only original footage of RMS Titanic at Harland & Wolfe shipyard in Belfast.
00:15 This footage was shot around 15 February 1912
00:30 So this does NOT portray Titanic leaving on its fatal maiden voyage.
00:45 It probably was one of her first test trials
01:58 Look carefully: you can just about read "Titanic" under the 4th porthole below the deck!
02:05 The Promenade ("A") deck is still open. In the following weeks about 60% was closed-in
02:15 Therefore DO NOT mistake this to be its sister ship RMS Olympic!
02:18 Captain Edward John Smith aboard the RMS Olympic (!)
02:24 Many other films on KZread wrongfully claim him to be on board the Titanic
02:32 Sistership RMS Olympic in Southampton at an earlier date that 15 April 1912.
02:39 She is often erroneously claimed to be the Titanic. It has an open "A" deck so cannot be the Titanic
02:46 Icebergs on the Atlantic Ocean. Titanic hit a similar iceberg
03:05 A photograph to briefly picture the sinking of the Titanic
03:12 The SS Carpathia on its way back to New York with survivors
03:35 Stunning film quality!
04:50 American press on the Mary F. Scully meet the Carpathia at full sea
05:10 Father Hogue on the Carpathia. He was the first to spot the lifeboats at the location of the disaster
05:32 The American press talking to Captain Rostron of the Carpathia
05:50 The Carpathia back in port in New York harbor
06:13 Scenes at New York harbor Pier
06:20 Family of survivors anxiously awaiting news of the relatives
06:35 Oceanic House in London
06:45 Very rare scene of paperboys scrambling to get a bunch of newspapers to sell
07:04 The front of the Evening News (midday edition) showing the sad news
07:09 Dignatories leaving a church in London after attending a memorial service
07:30 Across the ocean: Guilliermo Marconi and his wife being filmed in New York just after the disaster
07:36 Mrs. Marconi is wearing a veil to partly cover the emotions on her face
07:40 Marconi invented radio communication which saved the lives of many
07:45 The SS Carpathia picked-up Titanic's distress signal ("CQD" in Morse code) by radio
07:51 "CQD" was the forerunner of the later "SOS" code, meaning "Save Our Souls".
07:59 Surviving deck hands of the White Star line
08:10 Affluent New Yorkers deliver warm clothes and other aid materials for the survivors
08:42 A tip for the driver
09:18 Four days after the disaster, the Mackay Bennett leaves Halifax to collect the bodies
09:44 It's decks are loaded with coffins.
10:50 The End

*Please press the CC captions button to read the events and locations while the film plays* ! Don't forget to subscribe! A similar film was on my channel before but had to be removed due to copyrighted music and a copyrighted scene (although the footage is near 110 years old...). This scene has now been replaced by even more rare footage! *Kindly DO NOT comment that the first 2 minutes is not the Titanic but the Olympic* . Everyone who claims this is wrong. First check-out the history of this footage. It has been confirmed with 100% certainty by experts that this really is the Titanic. The name "Titanic" can also be faintly read under the 4th porthole directly under the deck at 01:57. The ship obtained a much clearer readable name in the weeks to follow, before it left Belfast. Subsequent footage is indeed RMS Olympic as clearly stated in the description and in the CC captions. And yes, they are all dead and no fat/obese people in sight :-), to pre-empt some of the usual comments. *Furthermore, DO NOT start a debate about the alledged switch of the Titanic and the Olympic aimed at defrauding the insurance companies* . This conspiracy theory had been debunked long time ago, so please don't repeat such nonsence. Thank you.

Rick, great video. One small errata …the Mackay Bennet, a transatlantic cable laying ship, was owned by a company that was owned by Bell Canada. It did not sail from New York but rather it sailed from and returned to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Most of the dead were buried in Halifax. The body of John Jacob Astor was returned to New York. Also, the harbour from which it sailed, as shown in the movie, is Halifax harbour.

Given the magnitude of this disaster, the presence of a cine camera seemed to make lots of people happy and smiling !
This film is so cool! You never really see any further than what the movies show you. I enjoyed this very much. Made it more real for me, not just a blockbuster movie, but the real thing. Thanks for preserving our past.
I love the little moment between the boys at 7:47 I hope they had a good life and a friendship that endured through the decades.
All those clear, sharp images of faces ... real people ... recognizeable. Thank you for this.
The 1500 or so fatalities from the TITANIC disaster in 1912 was a small number compared to the horrendous mass human carnage in WWI which began in 1914 only about 2 years later. However the tragic story of TITANIC uniquely continues to capture the interest and imagination of people around the world, while memories of WWI grow dimmer with the passing years.
I live on the south coast of Ireland and sometimes when ships pass ( I live near the sea ) I watch them with my binoculars. Titanic passed the same spot where I can see ships now passing from my parents house. That's pretty amazing it passed the same way. To think if I lived in 1912 I may have seen it pass by ( I probably wouldn't have had binoculars then as I'm guessing they were expensive back then ).

Excellent restoration and a great compilation of pieces of film I for one have never seen before. Nice to see the Carpathia making a guest appearance. If her captain (unlike the captain of the Californian which was much closer!) hadn't had the courage to turn back, despite the iceberg danger, and rescue as many survivors he could who knows how much bigger the death toll would have been!
@Embracing01
3 жыл бұрын
Actually, the Californian had no reason to stop on the edge of the ice field; it's common practice for vessels to proceed through the ice unless in very foggy weather, so why it did stop? seems to me it had stopped for some other reason. And apparently Californian was carrying 3000 woollen blankets.

@@Embracing01 It's well known that no records or other evidence of Californian's cargo exist. A good base for fabricated conspiracy theories and their supporters like you. You can continue that crap as long as you live (that you probably will do). But if no actual evidence has been found in more than 109 years it will obviously never happen.

By "missing" I mean that they did not appear on KZread or any website . I've read several articles that the Titanic newsreels were created, from laying the keel, transporting the anchor, launching, the Belfast chronicles and the ship before the maiden voyage. Even if they are in someone's possession, they should be made public.
That was really nicely done. I've seen some of the footage before but there was some on this video I have never seen before.

She was to eventually find many 'Titanic Bodies' of all classes, during the many weeks at sea. Having all the equipment required aboard.

Great footage again ;) By the way 'SOS' doesn't have any official meaning. These letters were chosen simply because they were an easy code to send in morse: ...---...
In 1898 there was a book by Morgan Robertson, called "The Wreck of the Titan", which was about a ship by that name that suffered the same fate as the Titanic 14 years later, with details that were remarkably similar. (I think there was an episode about this in the program "One Step Beyond".) Was this coincidence or a premonition? If it was "predestined", then it was a waste, since it didn't do any good.

My historic films are among the viewer-friendliest on KZread: No watermarks, no banners, no time tickers no useless intro's, no popup cards, no irritating synthesized voice commentaries, just CC captions etc. Take for example a look at the awful way that Huntley Film Archive spoils their films!
