I have a 4 yr old grandson who is obsessed with the sinking portion of this tragedy. I wanted 2 find something, he could understand that would create a more proper respect, in him, for this event. I came across ur videos. I hoped that ur voice & the way this info is presented with reverence would be the tool I needed & YES it was a hit with my grandson. I was able 2 discuss with him the importance of reverence with ur tone of voice & I was able 2 instill an understanding of respect with how the info was presented; as well as it's content. He now says "GMA can we watch the sad honest Titanic video?"lol Then as 4yr olds do, he goes on & on repeating it; acting like u with the same tone of voice! He does this performance over & over for everyone with his 4yr old over-acting enthusiasm & when we laugh, he gets mad & says "stop laughing it's disrespectful & non-reverence"lol So thank u for these wonderfully funny magic moments our family truly enjoys; as well as helping me 2 teach him that the actual act of Titanic sinking isn't cool or funny!
Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I am honored that our video had that kind of impact!! Thank you so much!! This comment made my day!!
I'm so glad this was useful for you and your grandson. Thank you for letting us know!
Though I realize that most folks are skeptical re: past life memories in children - or anyone else, for that matter - yet I'm intrigued when any part of history resonates with young children.
Fwiw, U of Virginia studies of Stevenson/Tucker contain over 2500 accounts with an impressive array of evidence. (Many featured on YT.)
Paz y luz 💫
@@mortalclown3812 I agree. Maybe he does have memories of past life. I'm Navajo and we believe in that concept.
@@karijordan4930 That's the first thing I thought also 😏 I believe in past lives an I have Cherokee blood in me as well.
It’s amazing hearing these voices that lived over a century ago. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank You Michael. Im glad you enjoyed this video!! We are currently working on a part 2 of this story. When Albert arrived in the US his dilemma continued. Be on the lookout for part 2.
Thanks! Will do@@exploringhistory
This was a wonderful video.The Titanic has fascinated me for many years This story touched my heart .Thank you for sharing the stories of the past.
Thank you, Kathy! I'm really glad you enjoyed this video!
Sure hope she gets those amazing cassette tape interviews in digital format.
Amazing account - all things considered, one of the only heartening ones.
Rest in peace to all who were lost.
What an amazing story! It's one I've never heard before.
Thank you Melissa for watching. I was captivated when I was interviewing Mrs. Williams. We will be collaborating again!! Including on a Part 2 of this story.
Great episode. I love everything Titanic! My husband surprised me with a visit to the Museum in Pigeon Forge. I was in awe!
Hey Kim, that is awesome!! We haven’t been there yet but it’s on our bucket list. Thank you for watching!!
The TITANIC was far from sold out on her only voyage, in any class. The maximum number of second class passengers that could be accommodated was 674 but only 285 actually booked. In Third class over 1000 could be carried but just over 700 were actually booked. Liners in general rarely if ever sailed completely full.
Amazing story and great photos
Thank you Darcy. I appreciate you!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
@@exploringhistory Your content is brilliant, I've subscribed to your channel ❤❤ I'm massively into history and seeing it brought back to life is truly beautiful.
@@darcydavies-jones1503 thank you Darcy!! I can’t post regularly. Just know I try to put in allot of effort in each episode to hopefully create something wonderful for you. Thank you so much for your support!!
I'm a huge Titanic history fan. I'm 57 and have been fascinated by it since I was a very young child. I think I've read everything, seen everything and heard everything, and nothing could be presented to me as 'fresh'. Though I have heard these stories, I really enjoyed listening to them being told by descendants of a survivor. Their perspective of the effect of the trauma upon the victims, what he went through mentally for the rest of his life, was very insightful and valuable to me. You do such amazing work. All your content is well researched and you have a very professional presentation. I'm always entertained and I usually learn something new.
Hey Sarah, thank you so much for your kind words and checking out this video. I am glad you enjoyed this story. I was completely drawn in when we filmed the interview. Time was flying by and two hours later my camera man mentioned the time and we just couldn't believe it.
I thought I knew just about everything about the titanic till the submersible unfortunately imploded, I’ve learned so much since, maybe learning more about what happened after.
I'm glad you enjoyed my family story, Sarah! You'd love my book, A Rare Titanic Family.
I used to go to my local library and read everything they had!
I’m too. I am 61 & I inherited my great-uncle’s 1st printing 1912 of “The Sinking of the Titanic”. And I still have it! Has all the listing of the passengers, 1st, 2nd, 3rd classes who lost their lives. Prints of pictures in it. I too always learn something new in each documentary or reports.

Correction he probably meant that there were 1500 dead. As there were 2208 people on board Titanic and 712 survivors so it depends on who you ask between 1503-1517 who died
Thank you for pointing that out. I sure missed it.
Well done,great presentation, letting the people talk,instead of feebly reciting personal opinions, mistaken facts and misrepresented events
Thank you Randall! I really appreciate your kind words!!
Hubris, arrogance and greed caused the loss of all those souls.
These "regular people" interviews I think are so valuable (and so rare.) Every survivor has a story but we mostly get those of the famous people, told over and over. My mother was from Alabama, born in 1918, so I feel the connection. Thank you for sharing your research!
@@voyaristika5673 Thank you so much for your kind words! I completely agree every individual’s story is a valuable piece of history, especially those of 'regular people' whose voices aren’t always heard. Thank you for watching!!
That was a great story. I cant believe that famous line has not been attributed to the correct person
I was so fascinated during the interview and completely forgot we were filming.
It's such an irresistible line that EVERYONE appropriates it. 😉
Maybe it was a lesson from God about pride and arrogance. I immediately thing of Herod in Acts 12 in the Bible. He dressed to the hilt in fancy clothing and made a great speech. His audience called him god. Because he gave no thanks or glory to god, God ’s angel struck him and he was eaten by worms and died. God is all powerful, one should be wise and never boast to be equal or greater.
Wonderful video and account.
God bless those who helped others to escape the ship and survive.
@@rachelkingsley668 Thank you, Rachel! We are currently working on part 2 of his journey. Can't wait to share it with everyone!
More Titanic videos please
I’m working on it 😊
I should be done editing soon and post the next video by next week.
love the cassette tape showing moving
Thank you George!
Wow Great video! I usually stay the maritime chanels on RUclips like Oceanliner Designs, Historic Travels or History Inside a Nutshell who also covered the Caldwells, as well as other RUclipsrs, main reason for this is that most ofther Titanic fact videos aren't, lets just say th most factuall...... But Your Video was very good. I checked with the Encyclopedia Titanic webiste end all the things checked out and I loved that you icluded Mr. Caldwell's interview, do you perhaps have a link to that one? Also the Steward they handed their Baby to was Mr. Fredreick Dent Ray a first class Saloon Steward who also lived to be over 90. Mr. Ray is probably my favorite Steward together with Chief Steward Andrew Latimer. I'm sure to check out more of your stuff!
Thank you for checking out my video and my channel, but also fact checking! I try my best to be factual as I can be.
I try to cover all kinds of history, but I will include some more Titanic history in the future. I’m kinda got hooked on it when I create this video. I appreciate your support!!
Yes the complete audio recording is on my channel as well. Look for my titanic playlist.
@@exploringhistory, myeah I found the audio right after i commented when i looked at your channel 😅.
Oh but i also saw a video about Mr Mock and the Red Baron, I can tell these are gonna be good after this one!
@@plokoon1912 awesome!! Feel free to check them out and leave me a comment on your thoughts.

Much obliged.
This is a great presentation of that great tragedy, and the Alabama connection is quite interesting to know of. This is a very informative record with the cassette voice if a passenger who lived through that “ night to remember”.
Thanks for watching Don! I really enjoyed creating this video. Julie was great!! Thank you for your support!
I must credit my cousin Bill Romeiser for capturing Uncle Al on tape. What a treasure in our family!

Thanks for a interesting new story, never heard this one before, and Iv heard a lot of them.
Thank you Duane, I will create more Titanic content down the road and hopefully you will enjoy it as well.
@@exploringhistory looking forward to that. I remember meeting John Vali a survivor of the Andrea Doria he had a reatersunt down the road from me. He called it the Andrea Doria Restaurant. He also named his daughters Andrea and Doria. If I remember correctly. He met his wife on the ship. He saved her life when she fell in the sea during the evacuation. I think she injured her head hitting a lifeboat. Point is there might be a few good stories and interviews out there on another great disaster at sea. Enjoyed this Titanic story thanks again.
@@duanebarbic3786 awesome! Thank you for the tip! This sounds really intriguing. Currently, I'm limited on only interviewing people in Alabama. But I'm always looking for history I can tell!
@@exploringhistory keep up the good work perhaps you could get some interesting interviews from those people who experienced segregation. Iv hear a few interesting stories about life during the 30s ,40s and 50s here out west in California from people from your side of the country. It's hard to believe that black people could only go to the beach on Labor day in West Virginia, or riding in the back of the bus, the generation is slipping away Iv heard the best stories from the folks now in their nineties. Just throwing you a idea. When I think of Alabama this subject comes to mind.
@@duanebarbic3786 I have several stories on my list, including the civil rights movement. Still building relationships and trust with our local historical organizations for collaborations. I appreciate your kind words and support!!

Exceptional story. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thank you!
I read this book earlier this year and really enjoyed it! The anecdote about the Carpathia was so interesting! Either way, their paths would've crossed with Titanic somehow. They were incredibly lucky to go to the side of the ship where men were allowed into lifeboats and Albert could get in with baby Alden!
Yes!! Everything about this story is fascinating!
Thank you for reading my book! Yes, we are so grateful Uncle Al was on the side of the ship where men were allowed off.
It’s a good reminder of the importance of prayer.
@@cherylp.3347 Amen!
@@cherylp.3347 Yes, my great-uncle always said his parents' prayers back in Illinois were the reason he realized he had to get into the lifeboat.

*"GoD hIm SeLf cAnNoT sInK tHiS sHiP"* Well... On 4/12/1912 you expected all *HELL* to break loose.
very interesting video
Thank you Matt for checking out the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great interview I'm a big Titanaic but no mention of the the ship breaking up.
Apparently he didn't witness it. 🤷♂️
Uncle Al said the ship broke in two in 1912. By the time he was an old man in the 1970s (when the tape was made), the going theory of the day was that the ship sank in one piece -- so Uncle Al apparently thought he had been mistaken and quit talking about it breaking in two. Turns out he was right in 1912!
Great!
I realy enjoy watching the show.
Thank you!
So #13 almost got overcome by #16 life boats! Wow.
Yes. It was even shown in the James Cameron movie Titanic. That's how much he paid attention to details.
HUBRIS IS A DANGEROUS THING😢
Pretty amazing they saw the Carpathia in Naples headed for New York and would be rescued by her as she was on her return trip from New York. A Night to Remember is the best book and the best film for an historic, detailed account, while Cameron's Titanic is a visual masterpiece. Great video.
Yes, it was so fascinating listening to Julie. The original interview was almost 2 hrs long and it felt like 30 minutes. It was amazing!! We will collaborate again in the near future and I'm looking forward to it!!
Excellent interview at first I thought she was tall talk about the origins of the quote "God Himself" and then she said her Great Grand Uncle was interviewed by Walter Lord and then Wow! Great Interview

The first time i heard it was said that God couldn’t sink the Titanic i knew it was doomed.
Just as well no one said it, then.
Makes sense why so few wanted to get on the lifeboats at first. Look how hard it is to find them today with todays technology . Lifeboats back then meant a slow death rather than a fast one
70 feet down is better than 70 feet under,but sheesh what a trauma!
William, were the purchase of tickets based on the amount of money you had to afford a ticket or did people purchase tickets based on their status? So my question: Was it possible for a third class to buy a second class ticket and second class to buy a first class ticket?
@@celestem.lennonbooks7694 Celeste, the best answer I could find is this;
Titanic ticket prices were:
First Class (parlor suite) = £870/$4,350 ($113,075.78 2018)
First Class (berth) = £30/$150 ($3,899.16 2018)
Second Class = £12/$60 ($1,559.67 2018)
Third Class = £3 - £8/$15 - $40 ($389.92 to $1,039.78 2018)
To put that into cotext, the average US wage in 1912 was about 22 cents per hour. The average person in the US made between $200 and $400 per year.
Is this the person whoscalled molly she acted loving and knew what she was doing😊
Hey Margaret, I believe so.
Doubt it. Molly was a rich person, ‘ new money’. I doubt very much if missionaries became rich. Unless I’m mistaken, I’m sure I heard they were missionaries going home back to America?

Turns out that Mr & Mrs Isador Strauss and Colonel Archibald Gracie IV were not the only "Southern Connection" to the RMS Titanic!
I'm planning to create an episode for Archibald Gracie down the road.
Interesting and thought provoking film, however it’s hard to understand what Albert is saying with the music and poor sound quality of his voice. Maybe turn the music off and put up subtitles.
Thank you Wilson. I realised the audio issue after it was upload it and by then it was too late to make the necessary changes. See if you are able to turn on the auto subtitles and hopefully that will help.
She reminds me of Kathy bates
You don't know how many times I've been told that, LOL!!!!
Needed subtitles
Turn on automated subtitles. It's there.
“Praically unsinkable”. I see how many will think it was unsinkable.
But practically doesn’t mean impossible. At the time it was considered practically unsinkable because of the bulkhead design. And because of the size of it; she was looked upon as a lifeboat herself. Take those two and put them together. Maybe that’s why it took so long to sink compared to her sister ships.
I think the Lusitania it took 18 minutes to sink.
Andrew Thomas; if lived: could have made stronger and even better ships. We truly did lose a lot of people that could have changed the world.
I wonder if Caldwell Ave in Chicago is named for this family?
Let me check with the Author and I let you know
This is what she told me: the answer is no. These Caldwells were from all over, but more Bloomington, Illinois, than Chicago.
Unnecessarily loud background music. Jesh.
I was on Tyetanic i saw jack n rose makin out like they did in the movie
Do not put God to the test. My first thought on the building of this ship was a floating Babylon. Then by golly the quote "God Himself couldn't sink this ship" had me shaking my head.
Can you quote a real life person from Titanic who said that. Any person.
God himself can't get me 10 million euro
Could anyone tell me what the books title is plz 🙏
Absolutely, it is called “A Rare Titanic Family - The Caldwells Story of Survival”
There is a link in the video description. Hope that helps.
Thank u
@@bunnyharris8444 my pleasure!
@@bunnyharris8444 I know you'll love it! Thanks!
Enjoyed this video, but didn't like the perpetuation of the myth that the Titanic's builders boasted that she was unsinkable. No such claim was ever made by either Harland and Wolf or the White Star Line.
I will be only worry my own having my own life
A lot of people tried to save others. It's the best in humanity... and more common than folks believe.
Why did everyone claim to be the last person in the last lifeboat?
Not sure. This is the first time I heard it.
I guess it's because who would want to be the 1st person in the 1st lifeboat?
The background music makes it hard to make out what the recorded tapes say here and there.
👍🏻
Thank you!
All i can hear is the music not the uncle al talking
Turn on subtitles. A mistake on my part I have discovered after it was uploaded and live.
@@exploringhistory oh, it's really a neat story. Some people are like I don't understand what the obsession is with it and I said we should never forget because something like this could happen in some other avenues somewhere and maybe we shouldn't be disturbing the remains of the titanic with what's been going on lately, but I love hearing the stories of the past something optimistic from a tragedy

Imagine the person who cancelled???
Can you imagine?!? You cancel and find out several days later that this could have been your fate!
JP Morgan did minutes before it's departure, also interesting three of his business partners we're still on
@@lazurusredd8682 This isn't true. JP Morgan rarely traveled back to New York before the summer season--only twice between 1904 and 1912 did he do this, both times in June, and in one of the years, it was for a wedding and he returned back to Europe not long after the wedding festivities ended. He spent most of his year in Europe and returned to the USA only around August.
In 1912, there was a news article about how Morgan was appearing at an art exhibition in Venice on April 23, and then would be dedicating the new Campanile di San Marco which is a famous bell tower in Venice. Titanic was supposed to dock in New York on April 17th or 18th, and leave for her return voyage to Southampton on April 20th. There is no way that Morgan would have gotten to Venice in time if he planned to take the Titanic's maiden voyage. He simply was never actually booked to sail.
Morgan officially cancelled some time in late February or early March, and we know this because of the cabin allotted to him. Originally, Henry Clay Frick booked the parlor suites, B-52/54/56, but his wife sprained her ankle. Then JP Morgan was given this slot, but cancelled because he already had the committments mentioned above. Another couple booked, but after the Titanic's maiden voyage had to be delayed from March 20 to April 10, they switched to the Mauretania and Bruce Ismay finally became the ultimate occupant.
Also, I'm assuming you're referring to that Federal Reserve conspiracy theory with that last sentence. Astor, Guggenheim and Straus weren't really JP Morgan's business partners. Straus was probably his contemporary but they operated separate business types; although Straus did support the idea of Federal Reserve. We also know from survivor testimony that both Astor and Straus had opportunities to get into lifeboats but didn't. If they had, that theory completely falls apart. Honestly, it falls apart even though they died. There's no way to guarantee their deaths.
Ok the bood is A Night To Remember, who is the arthor?
The author of A Night to Remember is by Walter Lord. Julie Williams is the author of A Titanic Family the Caldwell Story of Survival.
Thank you

I’m not the most religious person but I know never to test the might of God.
I wouldn’t claim God can’t do something..I like Mr Andrews line in the movie better..she’s made of iron, I assure you she can.

It’s true I was the life boat
A more interesting story would be....what happened to those ppl who cancelled the tickets for titanic?😮
You are onto something!!! Definitely making it onto my list of videos!!
IF I WAS THE ARCHITECT OF THE TITANIC I WOULD PUT THREE TELESCOPES ON THE FRONT AND TWO ON THE SIDES AND TWO ASSIGNED TO EACH SIDE OF THE SHIP. IF THERE IS NO TELESCOPE THIS IS THE FIRST THING TO DO BEFORE CREATING A SHIP.
👍🏾
Titanic was not sold out. That's incorrect.
Second class was sold out, however. It was a small class, kind of experimental. Many ships of the day had only first class steerage. Second class was a new attempt to reach the middle class.
They should get JJ Astor to raw the boat.
He died. That's not amusing.

Playing with God.
What vessel is shown in the Thumbnail it certainly is not the RMS Titanic it's got 5 smoke stacks 😂 and sinking by the stern 😅 what a load of old shit!
Some god that cherry picks who'll be saved....
It's a good thing his parents prayed for him and saved his life that night. All the 1496 other passengers I guess just didn't believe enough nor prayed hard enough and God wanted them dead. Their God is very selective about who gets to freeze to death in that 28 degree water and who doesn't. He's pretty fickle for an omniscient deity who created the infinite Universe and everything in it.
@@ricopaulson1 Thank you for sharing your perspective. I think many people wrestle with these big questions, especially in times of tragedy. Faith and belief shape how people interpret events, and some may find comfort in believing that prayer played a role in survival, while others see it differently. In Christianity, God doesn’t promise an easy or pain-free life. In fact, Jesus said, ‘In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world’ (John 16:33). The Bible often shows that hardships are part of life and can serve a purpose beyond our understanding. For many, faith is about hope and strength in difficult times rather than a guarantee of a specific outcome. It’s definitely a challenging topic, with many interpretations.
Sold out?? The Titanic was barely half full. Sounds like the whole story is complete malarkey.
Maybe the second class tickets they wanted only were sold out
@@autumn1768 Nice try to cover for her, but NOPE. You can google it yourself. She is a damn liar. Here are the facts from Wikipedia: "284 passengers boarded second class in a ship that could accommodate 410 second-class passengers."
@@JetFire9 Ok, it’s not that serious, I wasn’t covering for anyone 😂 it’s just a story and no one knows for sure what happened unless you were there 🤷🏻♀️
Why did people in the past speak so boringly. Were people a lot more dull back then
Some lifeboats only had a few passengers. Other lifeboats had a few Sailors. [ etc ] Because the rich people of the Titanic disaster paid the crew to ignore people and they ignored the people in the water too. The guilt stories are told by the survivors. And everyone has accepted that or they pretend that some lifeboats that only had a few passengers never happened.
Look how people / nobody said one wrong word about James Cameron who told big-lies about the Titanic in his movie. And even the guy held accountable for the lack of lifeboats was never charged. The Ancient God of the North Atlantic Ocean: Said, that the dead lost at sea never sleep. The Titan sub could be pay back for leaving the passengers of the Titanic to die.
I'm very lucky, because I have the freedom not to be kneeling to any Common Twisted Religious and Superstition Beliefs.
And the majority of religious people will never have my freedom.
Since the ancient societies [ people ] have had the sense to not play in any area of the dead. Bad sign, indeed.
Call it spiritual or whatever but I have the common sense to not play with the dead.
Or they went down there Ignoring Safety warning like Titanic, speeding through a ice field and Titan dropping with a Playstation remote..Simple not deep at all
One of the first class passengers said she was seasick the entire trip, so more evidence this story is made up.
Hmmm mm this smells fake
The gluttons of that time sank, however they took innocent with them. God allowed those innocent souls to die because the gluttons cursed the ship.
The Harland and Wolf shipyard workers who were tasked with switching the identities of the two ships were sword to secrecy by fear of death or at the very least that they would never work again!And if one would speak up, who would have believed him in those information restricted times anyway, but a few did confide the truth to their closest relatives.
Are you retarded?
I’m not speechless…false advertising! Thumbs down and reported!
You're not serious are you?
Titanic are mostly British and British lives are more important. That's why the Titanic got a Movie. It's very important English.🤔🤨😐
Americans are just Colonial subjects. American penal Colonies. Many, Many more White people in America are related to convicts than in Australia.
what would you expect coming from a church that was built on the family values of Henry VIII [ Protestant ] Have you ever heard Scottish building ships and Scottish Sailors.😆😅🤣😂
Money talks, bullshit walks (sorry)
@@maryellenshock Elon Musk Pays $0 In Taxes. So you listen to him?
Actually the Titanic got movies and she got movies specifically because how terrible the disaster was. NOT because your massive ego thinks that British people should be kept alive but Americans should die.
Actually British lives are NOT more important. They are just as EQUAL as everyone else’s life. Also you’re just mad the US won the Revolutionary War. Cope. Also Britain is NOT the best country in the world either.
Also only a little more than 3/13 of the passengers on the Titanic were British. So no. It was the minority. Actually EVERY nationality on the Titanic were minorities since they didn’t have 650 people or more in their nationality.
