As a Titanic enthusiast, this time of year is always somewhat special. When you realize that the dates and days of this week exactly match the dates and days of the week in 1912, it kind of makes it even more special.

"And everyone is looking forward to a successful voyage." This is the saddest sentence in this video for me.

I totally agree with you. However, everyone cannot predict what will happen……

Seeing the Titanic steam off in the dying hours of Twilight is eerily beautiful to watch. The quality of the model and lighting engine is, pardon the pun, really beginning to shine.

107 years ago! My oh my the years keep rolling on, one after another...I remember the 100th anniversary 7 years ago like it was last year! In all those 107 years the ship has been resting alone at those fantastic depths of the cold, dark, silent, oppressive oggin. Slowly succumbing to the elements as they erode her away over another year and on and on until she'll finally be no more. Nothing but a tragedy for this ship from start to finish. ✨💨💀

This was wonderful video. Thank you for doing it. Looking forward to the next one.

5:09 Beautiful! A moment from the game I think!

A point I like to make is that Titanic had, after departing Queenstown, 1317 passengers onboard. Olympic on her maiden voyage had 1316, but since Titanic had various passengers transfered, she looses for a considerable margin from her sister ship. (Wonder if the number of transfered passengers is known) Also, Olympic had departed Southampton 7 days prior to Titanic, but, boy, that voyage was a great deal. She had onboard (after leaving Queenstown) 2043 passengers, the greatest number on a westbound trip so far on her carrer, and considering eastbounds were usually more booked than westbounds, that number is quite impressive. Since Titanic never made it through the Atlantic and her eastbound passenger list was lost, it would be impossible to compare her's with Olympic, but Olympic's maiden eastbound, departing on June 28th 1911, was well booked, with 736 first class, 491 second and an incredible 1052 in third class. Olympic's best year would be in 1921 with a total 37535 passengers carried in 13 round trips. This makes us imagine how successful Titanic would have been, and how much she would have earned for the company, specially considering she would be a cheap ship to operate (as Olympic was).

Yes today is the day the Grand Lady left Southamton.

I was familiar with the story of the coal strike, and how titanic had to borrow coal from other ships, but I never really connected the SS New York Incident with the coal strike. It's interesting how these different stories fit together.

I love the Titanic! Can't believe her anniversary is here already. THG, if y'all need assistance with history facts or engineering, I might be able to help. I love the Titanic, I've been studying her for over 13 years

I know what you mean, I've been studying Titanic and other shipwrecks since I was 6 years old when I saw a book in our school's library with a Ken Marschall painting of the Lusitania sinking. I've been in love with maritime history ever since, especially Titanic. I will be 36 on the 18th (the day that Carpathia landed in New York), and I am still just as crazy about the great ship now. I made a webpage back in 1997 when I was 13 using nothing but Windows Notepad (I wrote all HTML code in Windows Notepad and saved it as a .HTML) and I won awards from Yahoo and Geocities (Google didn't exist yet) for my webpage because of the content, pictures, and construction of the page. I had over 1,000,000 visitors in the first month due to James Cameron's movie having been released around the same time. I even had advertisements on my page. My point is that it's been a love of mine since I was young, and the beautiful ship will always hold a special place in my heart as long as I live. I'm sure you feel the same way.

@@Brock_Landers I understand. I feel exactly what you feel with this majestic vessel. I don't remember this, but I was told that when I was 3 years old; my parents said I kept describing a smell of paint. Which was weird, and then not long after that: my parents said I started talking about the Titanic in great detail! I told them who built it, who was her captain, etc. What really scared them was I started drawing the ship from exact detail! They said they didn't have any pictures or shows during the time for me to know that. After 2 years it quiet down; then, I saw the books when I got older and then studied the ship. It was there that I felt connected to this liner, I also found out I share the same birthday with Captain Edward John Smith himself! Talk about cool. Yes indeed, I still love Titanic till this day

How incredible, that the Titanic would have to turn back for repairs if that collision would have taken place and changed the whole story... What would have happened to her during the first world war? Or that maybe ships would be still carrying the original number of lifeboats established by the board of trade regulations until a certain point maybe?

@immigrantgaming420epic

If it wasn't Titanic, it would be another ship that sank, and didn't have enough lifeboats (possibly HMHS Britannic), that would change the regulations of lifeboat amount

Fun Fact: The near collision with the SS New York was supposed to be depicted in the 1996 miniseries when Ross LaManna wrote the original script. Unfortunately, the Executive Producer (at the time) hired his wife as second writer to rewrite 90% of the script. The near collision is briefly mentioned in a voice over by Chief Officer Henry Wilde in the original cut of S.O.S TITANIC (1979).

Chilling. I can feel goose bumps thinking about how everything will come together in the next few days.

There actually was at least one case of a steerage passenger who was turned back at Cherbourg because of an eye infection. He was a father from Syria or Lebanon, immigrating his family to Florida to start a new life. Most of the family was already in Florida, but he and a son and daughter were all that remained. It was decided that the children would continue on Titanic, and fortunately they both survived. I am not sure of the father’s name but I do know the kids names. They are often included in the passenger lists as Elias and Jamila Nicola-Yarred. Jamila was fourteen and Elias was twelve. They survived because a fellow passenger had taken an interest in them and woke them shortly after the collision to tell them there was trouble and get dressed. This passenger (I don’t know his name) apparently died in the sinking. The children’s father later joined them in Florida. Jamila died in 1970, and Elias (aka Louis Garrett) died in 1981. His life story appeared in “Awake!” magazine, October 22, 1981, as told to a nephew shortly before his death. The article was called “I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic.” It is a very good read, would recommend it to anyone who is savvy enough to find it archived.

So beautiful, and such a shame that successful voyage was never to come. A shore never reached. None the less, the legacy of Titanic will live on hopefully to inform, inspire and intrigue others for generations to come. Wonderful video, cannot wait for the next one and thank you for the new content as always!

My wife knew someone who was turned away because she had whooping cough. She was really young at that time then eventually became my wife's neighbor. Her immediate family became friends with her.

Great video. Waiting patiently for this masterpiece to be released!

Great video, nice rundown of the events that took place aboard Titanic on April 10.

Your narration is fantastic! I love every single piece of information! You are such an experct of this subject that even if the game doesn’t come out you have already contributed so much to Titanic legacy! Thank you so much!

Love Titanic!!!!!

that is so cool the dates are the same as in 1912

very soothing to hear... can't wait to check out more!

Thank you for another great video! I can’t wait for the next one.

Titanic: Honor and Glory I like to point out something I think is significant, and that is (from what I'm informed) Captain Smith wasn't responsible for commanding Titanic out of Southampton and subsequently away from the New York. Until Titanic cleared the River Test and out toward the Channel en route to Cherbourg, the Harbor Pilot took navigational command of the vessel. That pilot was George W. Boyer (October 16, 1859 - c.1945), and a source repeated in narration for a documentary CD-ROM program from 1998, 'James Cameron's Titanic Explorer', claimed Boyer commanded the engines reversed to avert collision. Boyer later disembarked, either on the lightship Nab (Not to be confused with the Nab lighthouse that succeeded her) or at Cherbourg.

This was great! Thank you!

At Cherbourg a woman came aboard named Margaret brown,we all called her Molly, history would call her the unsinkable Molly brown, she was heading back to Colorado where her husband struck it rich with gold; she was what mother called: New Money

thank you for not skipping two years in a row

Great video! Thanks!

Wow, great video!! Thank you for the story of this great ship! Love the Titanic!

Great Video, I hope there will be more made during the days of the voyage. :)

I freaking love you guys!

Technically the first voyage was a success from England to France.

WOW WEEEE!!!! I was thinking of this! Thank you #TitanicHonorandGlory for this day by day journal.

Awesome video, I did not know that about the coal strike and resulting passenger transfer.

I was looking for something like this all day. Trying to go over the day in my head! Please do a day by day chronicle.

Wonderful description of April 10th tom

Bloody good work!

Excellent video, I think these videos will be a great tribute to the period, the victim and survivors of the disaster and the crew behind the Honor and Glory team.

I cant get enough of titanic. It all started when the movie came out in 1997 when i was 16 . It sparked something in me. Ive not been obsessed but just fascinated with it. When i watch these videos and documentaries, i feel like im familiar with the ship especially the 2 class for some reason. Like an old memory. Reincarnation maybe?? Dont know but its a connection there.

Today’s 10th April, 2021.. today marks 109 years since Titanic left for her maiden voyage, Southampton to NYC.. which she never reached..

Great video

Thank you THG!

I really love the piano music in your videos. When will we get to hear some of the soundtrack?

Amazing detail

Thank you for reminding me of the historical significance of this date Thomas (and crew, of course). I have so much going on daily that I forget to remember the important things... Edit: for only having thanked Thomas

Great Video! One thing that occurred during the crossing of the channel to Queenstown (now Cohb), was some trials catch up by Captain Smith. Titanic, being so close in nature to Olympic, had an abbreviated builder's trial period. Captain Smith, during that crossing between Cherbourg and Queenstown put the ship through a slalom - twisting port and starboard to, presumably, "get a feel for her". That priest in training, Rev. Brown, took a picture over the starboard quarter of the poop deck and it shows the wake twisting back to the horizon. It's clearly visible that she is healing to port in the starboard turn, something that makes me think there wasn't much turning when she hit the berg.

Nice narration with interesting never heard before facts. Tragic.

To me, the 10th-13th is a happy time full of happiness and peace for everyone on board.

Great video. I know lots about Titanic but I never knew that some of the passengers were never originally meant to be onboard. That’s really sad. 😢

Beautiful

Nicely Done

For more information of April 10th, please watch the Departure Podcast.

Titanic sailed from Southampton at 12:00P.M., not 12:30P.M. And yes, there was a huge turn out to see the Titanic leave. I've read several Titanic books, and have read and watched survivor accounts of the voyage, and they said there was a big turn out.

This is some interesting story that I never bothered to go look for myself.

There are pictures of her sailing past the Isle of Wight that people took .. and some people from there on the ship.

Thanks for all these details ! The Titanic model at the end looks really clean ! Is it an updated version ? ^^

The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors

Just think. If Titanic hadn't been 30 minutes late leaving Southampton, maybe the ice burg would have been 30 minutes towards somewhere else. Fate is a strange thing.

Saw the thumbnail and title and thought it was another video with great music on it reposted but it wasnt. I miss that music

Masterful informative video. April 10th is also my birthday.

Crazy, I completed my model on the same day of the week, that wasn't planned, only the launch date, I had no idea it was a Wednesday as well.

Fantastic video, however every historical reference I've ever read states the New York near collision incident occurred as she departed for sea trials.

Fun fact: the Nomadic actually lives in Northern Ireland Belfast where the Titanic was built next to the Titanic museum. You can actually come and go inside it as well.

In Australia it was April 10th yesterday

The father of steerage passengers Elias Nicola-Yarred and Jamila Nicola-Yarred (from Lebanon or Syria; ages 12 and 14, respectively) was supposed to join them on the Titanic at Cherbourg, but was turned back after medical examination showed his eye was infected. It was just as well, for he almost certainly would have died. As it turns out, his children were very fortunate to escape thanks to the help of fellow passengers, and they were reunited with their father when he came over to America on a latter ship. (Elias’ Story can be found in Awake! magazine of October 8, 1981).

I hate to be the nerd but, The railway that you mentioned was really called by most people who knew it (which is basically the entirety of Britain) London South Western Railway(or LSWR for short) but I do understand why you used the term "railroad instead of "railway"

Wonderful! And first :)

In the 1997 movie they had do make a scene when the "gun shots" r heard and the ships r sucked and they try to avoid it and avoid it

I wonder if anyone that got off in France thought about what happened and how it could have been them. Or the people that ended up on the ship after being transferred and knew about their impending doom. It's really grim to think about...

Hello, very well made video. What is the name of the background music you are using? Thanks!

I wonder if you will be able to witness the close-call collision in Southampton in the game.

Him: Talks about the titanic Also him: *Has Lusitania behind* Titanic: Why you spreadin’ rumors about me, Lusitania lover!? Lusitania: Ahh, don’t be jelly because- Titanic: Cause I took your crowd?

I live 10 mins from Southampton in the New Forest.

I still have trouble visualizing exactly how the New York was moving there. If she was sucked in by Titanic's wake I'd think she wouldn't have started moving until Titanic had passed her, but obviously that can't be the case if there was almost a collision. Is there an animated (even a simple 2-d top down one) showing approximately what happened?

How many of you, if you could time travel, would go back to April 1912, and board Titanic, and enjoy a one day trip from Southampton to Queenstown? Knowing what we know, would you use this chance to experience Titanic, knowing you would disembark in Ireland safe and sound? Just a stupid thought, but I would be interested.

Ms. Cashmore: "Don't think I didn't see you sneak on in Cherbourg.." *finger wag*

If I had been a passenger scheduled to board the Titanic, I would have second thoughts about boarding. The near-collision with another ship is a bad omen.

3.48 The only New York that Titanic could see.

almost like the other ships breaking free and going towards the titanic knew it's fate and were begging her to stay.

I’m looking through some titanic videos because I was bored. Didn’t know that my birthday was significant.

At time of this post I’m figuring she’s about half way to Queenstown Ireland

last time I saw a video with that thumbnail it was a great video with good music idk why that was deleted

First bit of archive film to appear is completely inappropriate - it shows the electrified Finchley Road Station on the Metropolitan Railway in north west London, and heading in a north-westerly direction, and it would be very difficult to get to Southampton along that line! Also, it is (was) the London and South Western RailWAY that ran fron London to Southampton - we don't have RailROADs in the UK...and it wasn't even electrified in 1912!

I would say the average modern day "Titanic fan" who "loves" a ship that tragically ended the life of so many doesn't really care for small details such as accuracy. They seem more absorbed in fiction, story and deluding themselves that a product might come at the end of such a long period of time ;) Why bore them with such trivial matters such as fact and history? ;)

Wow just imagine if the collision actually happened. They would have to delay her voyage.
