Hi friends! This video is an amalgam of two older videos from this channel which were taken down by a bogus copyright claim last year. I have tweaked a few things and merged them together to create one video. Please enjoy this blast from the past :)
Thanks so much !! I find Everything Titanic & Lusitania fascinating !! Well really many of the great OceanLiners of the early twentieth century are fascinating . Thanks so much . Laura from Canada 👍🏻🫶🏻❤️🙌🏻😊🇨🇦🇨🇦
It's extraordinary that some of these things remain well preserved after all this time Mike . The many pairs of leather shoes sitting on the sea bed is certainly chilling . Love your channel Mike
I heard it said at some point, I think after the Titan imploded, that Cameron is really just an oceanographer and submariner who occasionally makes movies.
I don't know why I get so choked up thinking of those wireless operators doing what they could to shut down properly in hopes of preventing a possibly catastrophic electrical short in the chaotic conditions at hand. Truly, an impressive display of the best humanity has to offer. Just one of many that morning to be sure but hats off to you gentlemen!
As were the wireless operators and the crew in the engine rooms. They stayed at their posts until the very end and then they finally abandoned them to go to the top of the ship. The wireless operators kept calling out to all ships that Titanic was going under and they needed rescue immediately. The guys in the engine room kept trying to fight the water to buy the passengers and other crew more time for help to arrive. Unlike most ship wrecks, Titanic had a lot of heroes.
The lone davit also shows that it would have made no difference if twice the number of lifeboats had been provided. The crew barely got off the ones they had available.
@@erynlasgalen1949 - Partly the reason they got so few people off was because the crew didn't have a plan or organization. Hell, they didn't even have consistency. On one side of the ship, they were letting men get in the lifeboats. On the other side, they were denying men a lifeboat seat, even if it meant that they would lower a half-full boat into the water. All of this falls on the shoulders of the incompetent captain.
Can you imagine what a terrible display of humanity the titanic sinking would be today? It would the Kardashians stepping over the rest of us to get to their lifeboat, where they wouldn’t tolerate anyone else boarding with them. Companies would let ppl swipe their credit cards to pay thousands of dollars for a place on a boat… I can’t imagine the horror it would be. At least on titanic, ppl were heroic and classy and had integrity. There would be none of that now.
For me, the most haunting images are the many pairs of shoes lying side by side. I know that's where the body of a Titanic victim came to rest, while wearing those shoes. It almost feels like I'm looking inside a grave.
very interesting, i guess if they fell out of a closet or suitcase the odds of the landing together would be minuscule, unless the suitcase landed intact and rotted away, then that could explain why they’re next to each other
No matter how often I hear the story about the Titanic, it always makes me feel really sad. So many lives lost at sea and the fear they must have had, facing the inevitable end. So many lives lost but never forgotten.
A fascinating detail at the Titanic Experience in Orlando (a very good exhibit in general, by the way) is that your admission ticket contains a name of a crew member or passenger and at the end of the exhibit, there is a room with all the names and you can look up, if that person survived or died.
In fact, Titanic isn't even particularly special, it's just the most popular one. For example, the sinking of the "Wilhelm Gustloff" likely took around 9.000 lives. That is about six times as deadly as the Titanic disaster yet it's largely forgotten.
@@OleJanssen true, but the main reason the Wilhelm Gustloff is forgotten is because the ship was sunk during WW2 and it wasn't due to human arrogance but a willful attack. Additionally its story is not as marketable to the international film industry as it was a german ship with german soldiers and refugees
I'm always leery when I see titles like, "Chilling Titanic Wreck Details" but then I saw it was Oceanliner Designs and eagerly clicked! You are the best for intriguing maritime information and facts.
James Cameron has been an incredible source when it comes to the titanic being an archaeological site, without his arduous research and dives we wouldn't know a lot of information about not just the titanic but the deep ocean in general
Apparently he plans to go back to the wreck in a submersible that's engineered properly, to honor his friend who was killed on Rush's amateurish design to show that it can be done safely, if it's done properly.
@@shadelings yeah, unfortunately the submersible accident of almost a year ago did had a lot of ripple effect on diving as a practice, I hope he can get his message across that if done properly and with the correct safe messures, diving in a submersible can be survivable and even Safe!
@@thegirlwitheeyes1232 Absolutely, and it should have a ripple effect because it shows just how much damage a delusionally malignant egomaniac can do when he's been funded enough money.
@@shadelings I never negated the fact that egomaniac with too much money and no care for Safety aren't at fault.... They pretty much are, but not all the people with too much money are egomaniacs with a disregard for safety, some of them actually care about diving into the deep ocean in a safe manner and have spent years researching and making sure their designs are safe to use. James Cameron has THOUSANDS of diving hours under his belt, not only to the titanic but also the Mariana Trench, he went to the deepest part of it in fact, and he has come back safe and sound cause he has a team of acctual ingeneers and researchers at his disposal that can make the vessels safe.
@@thegirlwitheeyes1232 You're preaching to the choir, sis. I was referring to Rush being the egomaniac, which he absolutely was. But I'm well aware of how much submersible diving Cameron has done - he's clocked more hours in some of the deepest parts of the ocean than astronauts have clocked in outer space. He's a GOAT, without a doubt.
Shipwrecks in general are some of the most terrifying things on earth. What is practically a small city, now abandoned and decayed, leaving only nature living inside of it, encased in darkness forever until it rusts away entirely. We see little bits of humanity, such as the bottles still upright, or the plates scattered across the seabed, but still neatly stacked. Even the little bits of clothes left behind show humanity. These artifacts left show how quickly everything changed, one moment, a steward was stacking plates, a passenger was walking the deck, and someone has just finished a drink, and placed it in their cabins shelf. The next, their vessel is sinking, and they are forced to abandon the last bit of known safety for hundreds of miles, forced to row the unknown darkness of the Atlantic. Shipwrecks are the most terrifying things on earth for that reason. Titanic’s can elevate this, because we’ve watched it decay for nearly 40 years. We know soon that it’ll be gone, but we raise what we can from the wreck, and preserve the last bits of humanity left. We preserve Titanic’s human elements, as they are what matter most. The ship and its passengers/crew will never be forgotten this way.
I just want the pieces of clothing and shoes to be left along with the ship. I have no problem raising bottles and the like. But those were once people. I want them to be left peacefully and undisturbed at the bottom. A while ago, the Titanic's (I think it was the Titanic) whistle was raised, repaired and played for the first time in decades, then returned to the ship where it belongs. I'm glad they returned it so it can rest.
As an amateur radio operator, I appreciated the detail you put into the wireless segment. it's crazy how two rooms worth of equipment in Titanic's day now fits in a radio smaller than a shoe box, AND the modern radio is much more capable!
The computer used for the Apollo landing is even crazier, 64kb of memory running at 0.043 MHz, weighing 32kg. Modern day smartphones have about 190,000 times more memory and 15million times more storage, and they’re mostly under 200grams
As a child I loved the titanic for some reason. I have no idea why I was so fascinated in it but I was and even still to this day I do enjoy occasionally watching stuff on it
For as long as I can remember, since I was a very young child>>OBSESSED WITH THE TITANIC ALTHOUGH SCARED OF LARGE BODIES OF WATER>>I always, and I SAY ALWAYS>>wake up @ 2:36 every morning>>>>>They retrieved a pocket watch from the bottom that stopped at exactly 2:36>>>I have never been able to wear a watch as my body always kills it>>>even a wind up>>>>
@@violethouseworth5943I’d say that you were on it in a past life, you should do a past life regression. No doubt you may have perished on her. We are after all energy and that doesn’t disappear when we die. After my own near death experience, I found it to be very peaceful and once I surrendered to it. I felt like I was stepping into a nice warm bath as started at my feet and worked its way up my whole body, I t was very peaceful, I didn’t feel any pain and all fear left me, and it felt like the most beautiful love. I haven’t feared death since that time a week before my 30th birthday. Nearly 30yrs later I look forward to it, as I will see my soulmate again, I still live and enjoy my life, but to see her again and to feel her beautiful soul is everything.
thank you for sending me into my second titanic phase as an adult. when i was in 5th grade i won a poetry contest because i wrote a really sad and dramatic poem about the titanic. i wish i still had it.
For me, it's really sad to see the wreckage of Titanic. To think that this was a ship destined for greatness only to end up a mangled wreck on the sea floor on her maiden voyage is just depressing. Not to mention that around 1,500 people went down with her.
Mike: As a 26-year USN officer, I genuinely appreciate the historical accuracy and deep humanity you and your channel display. You are easily my favorite place to visit to learn about the rich maritime history of these wonderful ships and the countries that built them. Thank you so much for what you do!
16:41 Actually in fact there is a method of wine maturation and aging on sea bed. It was accidentaly invented by spanish people during the napoleonic wars. At this time napoleonic armies were ravening entire country, so people living on coastline decide to hide some values at shallow sea bed, including alcohol, to recover it after the wars. Unexpectedly, after few years the wine lying at the bottom turned out to be surprisingly good, and this method is sill in use.
15:40 i dont get why the champagne is intact, but the wine got compromised, what is the difference about the bottling and capping between them? Both have cork tops.. i dont get it
The guy explained it - champagne was pressurised while the wine was not. At depth, the water pressure pushed into the wine bottles , because there was air inside. The champagne was pressurised so the water didn't push into the bottles, as it was pushed back by the champagne.
How titanic still has silverware still neatly arranged on tables, china plates and cups still neatly stocked in the kitchen. I have an RV and can barely keep anything upright after a 10 mile trip.
I have an RV too but I still scorch my crotch with hot coffee driving my car in the morning. I need 2 days prep work before the RV rolls again to avoid injury 😅
12:00 i have never even thought about the fact that some parts of titanic are inaccessible cuz of the sealed doors n stuff. Could only begin to imagine the condition of everything that we'll never see
I would have thought some sort of acetylene torch could be used to gain access to such rooms. Then again, even if it were possible, one would be drastically tampering with the wreckage.
Not anymore. The ship is degrading quickly and will be gone in 15 years. That is why they have been trying to get down there and scan whats left. The entire section that contained the captain's wheel has collapsed. The one scan they got has vindicated the guy that was accused of not releasing the life boats, ends up it was equipment failure.
We saw the travelling exhibition of Titanic relics when it came to Cape Town several years ago. It was an incredible experience for one such as I, who had been fascinated by the ship and it's sinking since I was a little girl. When you arrived at the exhibition, your ticket linked you to an actual passenger, with LOTS of personal details given - and as you left the exhibition, you got to find out whether "you" survived or not. Quite a chilling experience...... my favourite exhibition piece was the plate cupboard which had rotted away, leaving only the white plates lying on the ocean floor as they had been stacked in the plate cupboard..... I found it quite spiritual - giving one the same feeling as being inside an old church xxxx
So, did you survive or die with the ticket that you received? I thought for sure that you would let us know. I’m actually extremely excited to find out. Thank you for sharing 😊
It’s amazing how much of the wreck it’s a time capsule enough to paint vivid details of the life back then. My hope is that this will help preserve Titanic’s memory and all people onboard way after the wreck is no longer there. Amazing job Mike.
On champagne vs wine bottles: The shape of the cork , the cap and muselet of the campagne bottle would prevent the cork from being preessed in by the pressure differetial. And the muselet would prevent the cork from spreading out and this by keeping its shape prevented from breaking and letting rest be pushed in. In a wine bottle, it is easy to just push the cork in. The pressure inside the champagne bottle would have little to do with preserving it because the 5500psi pressure is no match for the low pressure inside the bottles. It is however a testament to the glass able to widthtand that pressure differential between the small amount of gas inside bottle and the water outside.
Ugh, that DOLL HEAD! It gave nightmares as a kid. I saw it's picture in my uncle's book about the Titanic. It frightened me so much that I couldn't even turn to that page without first sliding my hand over the image.
I have been researching Titanic and maritime history in general longer than Mike has been alive, and yet here he is teaching me new facts of Titanic. Thank you Mike for all that you do.
Well, you've got a lot on your plate. If you started when you were 20 and live to 80 yrs old, you might be able to identify the 3 million shipwrecks that litter the ocean floor if you research 148 shipwrecks @ day. (And which ones contain some of the $60Billion buried among them).🛳🕵♂
@@isabellind1292Yes but money isn’t everything, sure it helps, but true wealth is inside us and the lives human and animal, that we touch in positive and loving ways. It’s taken me 60yrs to work out that is the true wealth.
I completely agree with you. I have spent many years researching details of the ship, I've also seen a number of exhibitions about the Titanic and like you never tire of it. Excellent video. Thank you.
My grandmother (born right at the start of the Great Depression, more than a decade after the sinking) had one of those dolls. I know it was passed down to her, but I don't know by what route. Years ago she found one at an antique store and bought it, dressing it up in what she felt was the correct outfit and setting it in her home in a little chair where she'd jokingly talk to it.
I remember seeing some wreck footage of a 1st class cabin in which a wall mounted gimble lamp which had fallen down but was still plugged into the electrical outlet. It was also resting on top of the headboard of a remarkably well preserved bed frame which all the patterns engraved into the metal still visible.
@@brodriguez11000 They used to be everywhere. Banks were still using them for drive thrus until fairly recently. They just aren't efficient anymore and they're easy to replace, which is why you don't see them anymore
@@filmandfirearms I mean sure, an email is faster etc, but - you could fart in one of those containers and send it to someone in the office. They get it, "what tha.. empty, hmm guess they just AWWW WHAT THA *vomits* " - so yeah, show me how you gonna send someone a fart as an attachment in 2024.
It's amazing how much stuff is still around after all this time. The tiles in the Turkish bath are still hauntingly beautiful. I did create a similar motif for one of my own floors at home to resemble the black and white tiles from the Grand Staircase area. I could only guesstimate the size, but they look awesome. I used a photo of how the tiles looked, and cut them and pieced them together. That floor is in my foyer, and took me nearly 2 weeks to complete. I was working a 10 hour shift at that time. Awesome video, as always. (Jan Griffiths).
I love that, even after reading about the Titanic for 20 years, there are still new things to learn such as the likely fire in the Silent Room and the discovery of the Aft Staircase dome piece. Thank you for the video and your channel.
I cannot help but feel that magnificent ship is anything but dead. Chilling how she speaks. Fascinated by her and the sea since I was a small boy in the early 1980s. Crossing by ship still is the ONLY way to travel, that hasn't changed for those in the know. Your work is magnificent and worthy, thank you for that. Greatly appreciated and just.
The water glass and jug are among my favorite artifacts still on Titanic. Meanwhile that wine from the other ship looks like dishwater. The crab water description might have been apt; teenage crabs drank the wine, then refilled the bottles with salt water in hopes of not being discovered. 🦀🍾
60¢ a word is very expensive considering this was 100+ years ago. Thank you sir for your incredible videos and the obvious long hours and hard work creating them. Watching from the Philippines and sharing with everyone I know.
I’m 67 years old and the titanic has fascinated me my whole life. I soaked up everything I could find as a young man and when it was found and photographed I was even more astonished. I would love to see what a bottle of scotch would taste like after all that time. Oh well I’ve talked enough, I love your videos keep up the great work.
I truly don't think we'd know as much as we do about The Titanic without James Cameron. His personal love for finding out about this horrible accident has helped us all.
Great work as always Mike! The swimming pool? I'd guess that with the watertight doors closed it may have been relatively "dry" and intact UNTIL like a submarine it reached crush depth, then boom, devastation. There's probably not much to be seen at this point. I remember seeing Dr. Ballard describing how that doll's face almost gave him a heart attack! For a moment he thought it was a skull! I probably would have thought the same! I mean nothing around except wreckage and then this face? Wow. Thanks for posting!
Imagine being someone who worked on all of the intricate little details of the Titanic. Hand painted stuff, artist wood work, the moving guys. Bet they were all pissed.
Thank you for this video. I especially like the radio room. In the book "Titanic, An Illustrated History" by Don Lynch and illustrated by Ken Marschall it says that on Sunday Phillips and Bride were behind in sending messages out and were trying to catch up. On Saturday the radio was down and they worked through the night and had it running by about 5:00 AM Sunday. It is scary to think what might have happened if they were not able to fix the radio. Two real heroes. I wonder if what you related had anything to do with that. Love your video. I always wish they would release all video of the wreck. I would sit hour after hour to watch it.
That any of the delicate interior exists today, still speaks of the amazing quality and workmanship that Titanic had. What a magnificent ship she must have been to see, in person. It makes me so sad to remember that so many passed away. May they rest in peace. 🕊️❤
bro, i grew up at the very bottom on new zealand, near bluff, where the crews of the fishing vessels and the foreign vessels unloading cargo and loading up with aluminum and produce from the many freezing works had to brave the dreaded foveaux strait. i am 50 now and, thanks to you, i am still learning new things about titanic, a subject that has fascinated me since i was a lad, pestering my uncles to take me out to sea with them... and getting my way once in a while. i loved the way a small vessel would ride up and down the huge swells, like a big truck driving up and down steep grades and i loved the way that the ship would crest the swell and kind of surf down into the trough. equally thrilling and terrifying. i loved to be in the wheelhouse when i was allowed as well as the engine room. i have made the cook strait journey in rough seas and it's even more thrilling to be on a large vessel like a large passenger and vehicle ferry navigate high seas. your channel has really been a catalyst for me to remember all those times. everytime i see you post about titanic my instincts tell me i'm not going to learn anything new but every single time you school me and i am grateful for it, arr me hearty, keep up the fine work shipmate...
I love the ocean. I have always lived by it. But it does terrify me. The sheer weight of water and the violence of those massive waves when conditions are just so... I'm not brave enough. But I do understand the fascination.
@@joãoAlberto-k9x Doesn't your wife feel left out dude? I love my kids, my Dad, my family, my mates, I love Aleister Crowley, Ghandi, my lord Buddha, Gerry Garcia, My cats, my friend Richard, my instruments, Kawali Music, Fanna Fi Allah and the sex pistols. It is sad your lane is so narrow, I truly hope you can grow past that monotheistic self imposed cage, there is so much to love that isn't intangible... architecture, salmon fishing, true norwegian black metal, sublime, vishnu, SHIVA!!!! Cows, ice cream, CKY and jackass, XZIBIT, beethoven, waynes world, martin scorcese, hunter s thompson and all the early arabic poets that visited egypt and Māui.... theres a lot to love out here dude
It’s been -however how long since this disaster happened, yet I STILL cry like a baby whenever Titanic ANYTHING emerges. New or old; this story is and forever will one dear to my heart. The details still seen on and inside the ship just remind us the importance of valuing human life.💙 Thank you for uploading
I have literally been binge watching your videos all day long today. To see this video pop up a few hours ago, was the perfect ending to a weekend! Love your work Mike! Keep doing what you do!
I think most of them perished, but a few (or maybe 2 or 3, small ones of course) were saved. I've been trying to find out how many were on the Titanic, but I haven't been able to get that number at least reliably.
An additional point: in Don Lynch's excellent book "Titanic - An Illustrated History", he tells how someone (can't remember if it was a crew member or a passenger) went to the kennels and opened the cages late in the sinking so at least the dogs wouldn't be trapped
I have NEVER heard that there was space onboard preserved! My brother was obsessed with the Titanic as a kid and have NEVER seen information about the things on the front of the ship were preserved or even DRY! Absolutely FACINATING!
From dives I've seen of it the front was destroyed because of the arrow dynamic starboard. When it crashed on the sea bed the ship floors looked like they collapsed. Also there didn't seem to be a way inside the ship.
I went to the Titanic museum years ago. They had so many relics & rooms set up exactly the way they were on the ship. The real iceberg, (smaller), than the actual one, was the exact temperature of the water the Titanic sank in, u could touch to understand the point of cold. Seeing the different baby & childs shoes was my hardest 💔point seeing.
I went to the titanic exhibit a few years ago too, only because it was dicounted when purchased in unison with the bodies exhibit i wanted to go to. Im so glad I did, it was much more interesting and emotional than I had expected! I wish it had the iceberg you mentioned when I went but it didn't. I liked how your ticket had the name and information of a real passenger on board and at the end you got to find out if your passenger survived or not. Kinda really put the loss into a personal perspective. My passenger survived, my friend I went with, his passenger did not. The grand staircase and hallway replicas were really cool to walk through as well.
Mike, I’ve been watching your channel for a long time! I’ve been a Titanic enthusiast and honestly believe you have the best videos on the subject and other famous ships in history. Thank you for providing class and positivity to social media!
Thank you, Mike Brady! I never get tired of seeing footage and hearing information about the Titanic wreck. I've been fascinated with Titanic since I first heard of it when I was 6 years old!
Many thanks for another awesome video, I have never been a fan of salvaging artifacts from the wreck but putting them in a museum is one thing selling bottles of champagne to the ultra rich should never have been allowed.
The lifespan left to the other items is limited and they are very expensive to retrieve. What's the value of a few of the thousands of bottles sold if the money is used to save more of those other items into a museum. I would much rather see other things saved before it's too late. The ultra rich who actually give anything other than industry and some charities are far and few between. So by not selling a bottle, you are condemning something else to rot away. There are so many fascinating things we haven't even seen yet.
Anything && EVERYTHING TITANIC or boats, ships, anything that can float or sink on the ocean in Oceanliner Designs I trust. Much love always from Brasil.♡
I love these kinds of videos honestly. i remember the ones it was spliced from, they were some of my favorites! its so chilling but so cool to see what has survived, and the condition that it is in. it makes it feel so much more real. i could honestly watch stuff like this for hours, just looking at all of the things that have been found, either still on the ocean floor or things recovered. its absolutely fascinating to me.
The "Jake and Elwood" footage is my favorite part of "Ghosts of the Abyss," especially the footage taken of the leaded glass window with the lighting chandelier, Magellan, shining brightly through it. I would love to see a part two of "Ghosts of the Abyss." Somebody call the captain of the Keldish, load up the two Mirs and Magellan, and round up the Kodiak Cowboys. It's time to ride again. LOL Thank you, Mr. Brady. As usual, this Oceanliner Designs production is informative, respectful, and extremely honorable.
Mike, you and your team and the fine folks at THG have really made presentations like this so much more enjoyable. Thank you for what you do. It is greatly appreciated.
Just a note on the champagne bottles not imploding at the sea bottom: it's not the internal pressure of the champagne that resisted the sea pressure (70 psi is negligible against the 6000 psi bearing down on it), but instead the corks likely got pushed inside the 1/4" air gap in the bottle until the cork reached the liquid and the pressures equalized. If the air gap was bigger the cork likely would have been pushed all the way in like with the wine bottles.
It's really neat to see how the final state of some of the rooms or items tell (and/or confirm) the story of the final moments of the ship and it's people. Thanks Mike and team - another wonderful and informative video.
This was utterly fascinating. I absolutely loved the superimposed photos showing what certain areas or features of the ship looked like before it sank vs what they look like now. It really highlights what a tragedy this was, and there were moments that gave me goosebumps. Excellent work.
It's always a pleasure to visit your site and draw upon your extensive research, knowledge, and stories on this endlessly fascinating topic of RMS Titanic, Mike. Thank you for sharing.
The glass is a great example of how things can randomly fall into place and dreamers can imagine there's a deeper (no pun) meaning to what they're seeing, rather than just something unexpected.
Heart breaking for all those lost, but also for all those thousands who worked to build this beautiful ship. I can't imagine the soul haunting pain from working so hard to hand create this marvelous ship, only to hear that on it's first outing it sank into the icy Atlantic. My heart pains for the artisans and craft men who built this work of art.
I might be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that in the Marconi room the main switch was held up by an electromagnet to prevent damage in the event of a power loss. Basically the idea was putting the switch into the on position would activate the electromagnet and hold the switch in place. If power was lost, the switch would drop back to the off position so when power was restored a surge wouldn't go to the equipment and cause damage. If this is correct, the operators may not have shut off the system, meaning it was still live when the water reached it causing the short. Once the electromagnet holding the switch up lost power though, the switch would fall to the off position.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate you being well dressed, being inclusive with the US unit of measurement (we can’t help that we were taught that), presenting the information in an organized manner (such as providing photos of before and after shots so we understand what we’re looking at) and finally, including passenger and crew names. Consider me a new subscriber 😊
Only yesterday, 73 years after her sinking, Ballard blew me away with the announcement that he had found the great ship. It seemed only the day before that my Father and I watched a new movie about raising the Titanic. I grew up perusing through 'The Ship Magnificent' - I'm sure our good Friend here did likewise... Respect, eh.
The talk about the wireless room was amazing. Seeing technology like that be prevalent in 1912 is so cool and fascinating. It’s amazing to see how we’ve adapted from that to phone calls from thousands of miles away.
I realized I hadn't subscribed yet, this video reminded me. Your videos a very respectful to those who were lost and those who survived the sinking, yet still satisfy the curiosity of all those interested in shipwrecks and sinkings like this. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity as wrecks like this have sparked an almost morbid interest in me since I was a child and saw footage of David Ballads first discovery and was glued to my Dad's National Geographic Magazine about the sinking. I poured over the pictures. Wrecks like this keep me from taking sea voyages due to mans overconfidence and arrogance. I didn't know there were such extensive facades to comfort uneasy travelers. Quite elaborate for the time.
When names and pictures are shown, a deep sadness overtakes me. It’s so much easier to “deal” w/ the number of lost, when they remain nameless. Such a chilling dichotomy.
It's also interesting to note that the swimming pools on the Titanic were constructed with such high-quality materials and workmanship that it is speculated they may still be holding water, over a century after the ship's sinking.
@@farmkid230 Also, some of the first class passengers kept their dogs w/them in their cabins despite it wasn't really permitted. There was a dog show slated for later in the day the Titanic sunk. The crew members who cared for the passengers dogs released them from their kennels during the terrible event taking place. (I think there were over a dozen dogs, I can't remember the #'s). The ship's mascot was Jenny the Cat. RIP all victims of the Titanic, human and animal. It should remain a memorial site, not ever to become a tourist attraction. No one pays to go to memorial sites and this is a gravesite/memorial site.🌹❤
I'm a lifelong Titanic buff and always learn new things from your videos. Even the tiles are fascinating, and I was lucky to see some of the red and white ones at a recent exhibition in Melbourne
Mike - you’re an astute young man, professional in every respect, and as someone very interested in history and Titanic, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
This is amazing. When I was a kid in the 80's one of my babysitters had hundreds of National Geographic magazines and I would spend all day in the bookcase no matter how nice and sunny it was out. Titanic was one of my favorite subjects at the time as well as Vesuvius and NASA missions.
@@michaelwest5640 Yess! I think they used the Angus camera "sled" for that and made a mosaic. I thought that was absolutely fascinating. I'll have to look that stuff up again.
I just wanted to say the way that you cover the Titanic story is incredibly interesting and thorough. You bring it to life. I also love the way that you recognize the loss of life and the valor of those who try to save others.
My late mother was from Southampton England which was, I believe, Titanic's homeport although I am not sure about that. She told me once that several Southampton men were lost when the ship sank. A terrible tragedy.
@@browncoatkevin I wondered about that as well. Then I read somewhere that the name on the stern of the ship denotes the ships place of REGISTRATION, and not not necessarily its regular port of embarcation. (Many of CP's Empress liners also showed LIVERPOOL on their sterns, but more often sailed out of Southhampton. I believe it became a problem for ships departing from Liverpool because it depended so much on the tides. )
From the first time I learned about the Titanic, more than 50 years a go, I've been extremely and constantly mesmerized by it. No other subject matter has fascinated me more than the Titanic.
The more of Titanic’s majestic history is revealed,the more I see that story materialized in the James Cameron 1997 film. Like the baker who went into the pantry to grab as much alcohol as possible before the ship went down,then you see the man on the back of the stern with Jack and Rose taking his last shot of whiskey before the ship went down. Amazing!
Hi friends! This video is an amalgam of two older videos from this channel which were taken down by a bogus copyright claim last year. I have tweaked a few things and merged them together to create one video. Please enjoy this blast from the past :)

Thanks so much !! I find Everything Titanic & Lusitania fascinating !! Well really many of the great OceanLiners of the early twentieth century are fascinating . Thanks so much . Laura from Canada 👍🏻🫶🏻❤️🙌🏻😊🇨🇦🇨🇦
I wa wondering why these amazing videos were removed but thank you for this piece of information.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiii
It's extraordinary that some of these things remain well preserved after all this time Mike . The many pairs of leather shoes sitting on the sea bed is certainly chilling . Love your channel Mike
The amount of knowledge we know about Titanic that comes *SOLEY* from James Cameron & his teams expeditions is honestly incredible
*solely

I heard it said at some point, I think after the Titan imploded, that Cameron is really just an oceanographer and submariner who occasionally makes movies.
I don't know why I get so choked up thinking of those wireless operators doing what they could to shut down properly in hopes of preventing a possibly catastrophic electrical short in the chaotic conditions at hand.
Truly, an impressive display of the best humanity has to offer. Just one of many that morning to be sure but hats off to you gentlemen!
That's some dedication. Shutting down a wireless set that he knew was likely soon to be (and is) on the bottom of the ocean for all eternity.
True character is shown by what you do when no one is looking.
Reminds me of Lord Nelson at Trafalgar saying.."England expects every man to do his duty."
You are a kind soul. That is why this bothers you. Cheers to the good people of this world!
@@jimmanihera7760 huh? they were trying to stop a short circuit of 5kW of power that could kill people
I’ll never forget James Cameron’s team initial reaction to seeing the Turkish bath for the first time, it was truly amazing.
something along the lines Cameron said “It’s like a Well-Preserved Underwater Church” 🧐😳
@@ChairmanPaulieD That's an odd thing to say.
@@isabellind1292
Maybe more like a mosque, with the colorful geometric tiles.
@@s13rr4buf3 Oh! Yes, that makes sense.😊👍👍
Amazingly the Turkish Bath is still full to this day on the Titanic!
That last detail is really chilling. Those men were doing everything they could until literally the very end.
As were the wireless operators and the crew in the engine rooms. They stayed at their posts until the very end and then they finally abandoned them to go to the top of the ship. The wireless operators kept calling out to all ships that Titanic was going under and they needed rescue immediately. The guys in the engine room kept trying to fight the water to buy the passengers and other crew more time for help to arrive. Unlike most ship wrecks, Titanic had a lot of heroes.
Two heros! The wireless men. So many others we don’t know their stories.
The lone davit also shows that it would have made no difference if twice the number of lifeboats had been provided. The crew barely got off the ones they had available.
@@erynlasgalen1949 - Partly the reason they got so few people off was because the crew didn't have a plan or organization. Hell, they didn't even have consistency. On one side of the ship, they were letting men get in the lifeboats. On the other side, they were denying men a lifeboat seat, even if it meant that they would lower a half-full boat into the water. All of this falls on the shoulders of the incompetent captain.
Can you imagine what a terrible display of humanity the titanic sinking would be today?
It would the Kardashians stepping over the rest of us to get to their lifeboat, where they wouldn’t tolerate anyone else boarding with them. Companies would let ppl swipe their credit cards to pay thousands of dollars for a place on a boat…
I can’t imagine the horror it would be. At least on titanic, ppl were heroic and classy and had integrity. There would be none of that now.
Every detail of Titanic’s wreck is pretty chilling, it’s quite cold down there.
It is a freezer there. I know the place.
Boo! Get off the stage!
Nah keep him on the stage, his jokes give me the chills
So what you are saying is the Titanic's freezers are still keeping cold? Thats pretty impressive.
This joke was annoying and youtube keeps deleting my rude comment.
That lone davit on the starboard side is a hauntingly beautiful memorial to those who died trying to save as many as possible.
For me, the most haunting images are the many pairs of shoes lying side by side. I know that's where the body of a Titanic victim came to rest, while wearing those shoes. It almost feels like I'm looking inside a grave.
also possible from clothing trunks/suitcases
The reason they are believed to be from where a person came to rest is because of the way they are situated as if they were still on someone's feet.
very interesting, i guess if they fell out of a closet or suitcase the odds of the landing together would be minuscule, unless the suitcase landed intact and rotted away, then that could explain why they’re next to each other
For me it's the shoes, too. Each pair to me is a person lying there with them, even though we can't see the person who wore them anymore.
I feel I’m invading the person’s privacy seeing their shoes🙁
No matter how often I hear the story about the Titanic, it always makes me feel really sad. So many lives lost at sea and the fear they must have had, facing the inevitable end. So many lives lost but never forgotten.
A fascinating detail at the Titanic Experience in Orlando (a very good exhibit in general, by the way) is that your admission ticket contains a name of a crew member or passenger and at the end of the exhibit, there is a room with all the names and you can look up, if that person survived or died.
In fact, Titanic isn't even particularly special, it's just the most popular one. For example, the sinking of the "Wilhelm Gustloff" likely took around 9.000 lives. That is about six times as deadly as the Titanic disaster yet it's largely forgotten.
@@OleJanssen true, but the main reason the Wilhelm Gustloff is forgotten is because the ship was sunk during WW2 and it wasn't due to human arrogance but a willful attack. Additionally its story is not as marketable to the international film industry as it was a german ship with german soldiers and refugees
I'm always leery when I see titles like, "Chilling Titanic Wreck Details" but then I saw it was Oceanliner Designs and eagerly clicked! You are the best for intriguing maritime information and facts.
Right?
It seems like the title of an absolutely awful clickbait video. Haha.
But then you see the channel....
James Cameron has been an incredible source when it comes to the titanic being an archaeological site, without his arduous research and dives we wouldn't know a lot of information about not just the titanic but the deep ocean in general
Apparently he plans to go back to the wreck in a submersible that's engineered properly, to honor his friend who was killed on Rush's amateurish design to show that it can be done safely, if it's done properly.
@@shadelings yeah, unfortunately the submersible accident of almost a year ago did had a lot of ripple effect on diving as a practice, I hope he can get his message across that if done properly and with the correct safe messures, diving in a submersible can be survivable and even Safe!
@@thegirlwitheeyes1232 Absolutely, and it should have a ripple effect because it shows just how much damage a delusionally malignant egomaniac can do when he's been funded enough money.
@@shadelings I never negated the fact that egomaniac with too much money and no care for Safety aren't at fault.... They pretty much are, but not all the people with too much money are egomaniacs with a disregard for safety, some of them actually care about diving into the deep ocean in a safe manner and have spent years researching and making sure their designs are safe to use.
James Cameron has THOUSANDS of diving hours under his belt, not only to the titanic but also the Mariana Trench, he went to the deepest part of it in fact, and he has come back safe and sound cause he has a team of acctual ingeneers and researchers at his disposal that can make the vessels safe.
@@thegirlwitheeyes1232 You're preaching to the choir, sis. I was referring to Rush being the egomaniac, which he absolutely was. But I'm well aware of how much submersible diving Cameron has done - he's clocked more hours in some of the deepest parts of the ocean than astronauts have clocked in outer space. He's a GOAT, without a doubt.
Shipwrecks in general are some of the most terrifying things on earth. What is practically a small city, now abandoned and decayed, leaving only nature living inside of it, encased in darkness forever until it rusts away entirely. We see little bits of humanity, such as the bottles still upright, or the plates scattered across the seabed, but still neatly stacked. Even the little bits of clothes left behind show humanity. These artifacts left show how quickly everything changed, one moment, a steward was stacking plates, a passenger was walking the deck, and someone has just finished a drink, and placed it in their cabins shelf. The next, their vessel is sinking, and they are forced to abandon the last bit of known safety for hundreds of miles, forced to row the unknown darkness of the Atlantic. Shipwrecks are the most terrifying things on earth for that reason. Titanic’s can elevate this, because we’ve watched it decay for nearly 40 years. We know soon that it’ll be gone, but we raise what we can from the wreck, and preserve the last bits of humanity left. We preserve Titanic’s human elements, as they are what matter most. The ship and its passengers/crew will never be forgotten this way.
Well said
Amen.
Beautifully spoken.
I just want the pieces of clothing and shoes to be left along with the ship. I have no problem raising bottles and the like. But those were once people. I want them to be left peacefully and undisturbed at the bottom.
A while ago, the Titanic's (I think it was the Titanic) whistle was raised, repaired and played for the first time in decades, then returned to the ship where it belongs. I'm glad they returned it so it can rest.
Nice
As an amateur radio operator, I appreciated the detail you put into the wireless segment. it's crazy how two rooms worth of equipment in Titanic's day now fits in a radio smaller than a shoe box, AND the modern radio is much more capable!
Interesting too that the type of transmitter they used has been illegal to use since 1927.
The computer used for the Apollo landing is even crazier, 64kb of memory running at 0.043 MHz, weighing 32kg. Modern day smartphones have about 190,000 times more memory and 15million times more storage, and they’re mostly under 200grams
@@sighfly2928 I love how far technology has come
As a child I loved the titanic for some reason. I have no idea why I was so fascinated in it but I was and even still to this day I do enjoy occasionally watching stuff on it
For as long as I can remember, since I was a very young child>>OBSESSED WITH THE TITANIC ALTHOUGH SCARED OF LARGE BODIES OF WATER>>I always, and I SAY ALWAYS>>wake up @ 2:36 every morning>>>>>They retrieved a pocket watch from the bottom that stopped at exactly 2:36>>>I have never been able to wear a watch as my body always kills it>>>even a wind up>>>>
That's cool!
Titanic was my first-ever historical obsession.
Reading your comment was like reading my own memory. 😃
@@violethouseworth5943I’d say that you were on it in a past life, you should do a past life regression. No doubt you may have perished on her. We are after all energy and that doesn’t disappear when we die. After my own near death experience, I found it to be very peaceful and once I surrendered to it. I felt like I was stepping into a nice warm bath as started at my feet and worked its way up my whole body, I t was very peaceful, I didn’t feel any pain and all fear left me, and it felt like the most beautiful love. I haven’t feared death since that time a week before my 30th birthday. Nearly 30yrs later I look forward to it, as I will see my soulmate again, I still live and enjoy my life, but to see her again and to feel her beautiful soul is everything.
I can relate.
When I was 6 it was I think 60years since it sank and learning all about it and the song titanic !
thank you for sending me into my second titanic phase as an adult. when i was in 5th grade i won a poetry contest because i wrote a really sad and dramatic poem about the titanic. i wish i still had it.
For me, it's really sad to see the wreckage of Titanic. To think that this was a ship destined for greatness only to end up a mangled wreck on the sea floor on her maiden voyage is just depressing. Not to mention that around 1,500 people went down with her.
Well, it DID achieve greatness, just not in the way imagined.
The shoes on the sea floor are the saddest reminder of all the beautiful lives lost. 🌹
Mike: As a 26-year USN officer, I genuinely appreciate the historical accuracy and deep humanity you and your channel display. You are easily my favorite place to visit to learn about the rich maritime history of these wonderful ships and the countries that built them. Thank you so much for what you do!
I could listen to him all day long. I love his knowledge and verse. He is such a talented man. Best to him.
16:41 Actually in fact there is a method of wine maturation and aging on sea bed. It was accidentaly invented by spanish people during the napoleonic wars. At this time napoleonic armies were ravening entire country, so people living on coastline decide to hide some values at shallow sea bed, including alcohol, to recover it after the wars. Unexpectedly, after few years the wine lying at the bottom turned out to be surprisingly good, and this method is sill in use.
15:40 i dont get why the champagne is intact, but the wine got compromised, what is the difference about the bottling and capping between them? Both have cork tops.. i dont get it
The guy explained it - champagne was pressurised while the wine was not. At depth, the water pressure pushed into the wine bottles , because there was air inside. The champagne was pressurised so the water didn't push into the bottles, as it was pushed back by the champagne.
@@jezackr3500 I wouldn't doubt that it also had something to do with how the champagne corks are shaped.
The titanic was a marvelous work of art, engineering and technology. Breathtaking interior.
I agree ❤
You, my friend, singlehandedly keep my titanic obsession alive
Same lol I love this channel
it feels like i’ve watched about every documentary, show, movie, video about and footage of the titanic, and i swear it still never gets old. never.
It feels like whenever I watch something about the titanic I learn something new
How titanic still has silverware still neatly arranged on tables, china plates and cups still neatly stocked in the kitchen. I have an RV and can barely keep anything upright after a 10 mile trip.
That's what I don't get. After a ship snapping in half, the trip down and the impact of hitting the seafloor, how? 🤔
@chrissaccary524
It's fake , just like the moon landing
It speaks of a different series of events, of a slower, more gradual descent.
😂😂yup
I have an RV too but I still scorch my crotch with hot coffee driving my car in the morning. I need 2 days prep work before the RV rolls again to avoid injury 😅
Finally, a non clickbait chilling titanic facts video!
This channel doesn't do clickbait, that's why our friend Mike Brady has so many loyal subscribers.

R.I.P. To All Who Lived And Lost their life Onboard Titanic🙏🏿💙
12:00 i have never even thought about the fact that some parts of titanic are inaccessible cuz of the sealed doors n stuff. Could only begin to imagine the condition of everything that we'll never see
couldnt we peak through the window?
not all inner rooms (such as the pool) had them
I would have thought some sort of acetylene torch could be used to gain access to such rooms. Then again, even if it were possible, one would be drastically tampering with the wreckage.
@@Furious321with how advanced tech has gotten I hope the next dive they'll have a really small rov to explore deeper into the ship.
Not anymore. The ship is degrading quickly and will be gone in 15 years. That is why they have been trying to get down there and scan whats left. The entire section that contained the captain's wheel has collapsed. The one scan they got has vindicated the guy that was accused of not releasing the life boats, ends up it was equipment failure.
We saw the travelling exhibition of Titanic relics when it came to Cape Town several years ago. It was an incredible experience for one such as I, who had been fascinated by the ship and it's sinking since I was a little girl. When you arrived at the exhibition, your ticket linked you to an actual passenger, with LOTS of personal details given - and as you left the exhibition, you got to find out whether "you" survived or not. Quite a chilling experience...... my favourite exhibition piece was the plate cupboard which had rotted away, leaving only the white plates lying on the ocean floor as they had been stacked in the plate cupboard..... I found it quite spiritual - giving one the same feeling as being inside an old church xxxx
So, did you survive or die with the ticket that you received? I thought for sure that you would let us know. I’m actually extremely excited to find out. Thank you for sharing 😊
It’s amazing how much of the wreck it’s a time capsule enough to paint vivid details of the life back then. My hope is that this will help preserve Titanic’s memory and all people onboard way after the wreck is no longer there. Amazing job Mike.
On champagne vs wine bottles: The shape of the cork , the cap and muselet of the campagne bottle would prevent the cork from being preessed in by the pressure differetial. And the muselet would prevent the cork from spreading out and this by keeping its shape prevented from breaking and letting rest be pushed in. In a wine bottle, it is easy to just push the cork in. The pressure inside the champagne bottle would have little to do with preserving it because the 5500psi pressure is no match for the low pressure inside the bottles. It is however a testament to the glass able to widthtand that pressure differential between the small amount of gas inside bottle and the water outside.
Yup!
Amen.
It all has to do with the fact that that the bottles are round, not square. Round bottles mean the glass is always in compression, not tension.
Ugh, that DOLL HEAD! It gave nightmares as a kid. I saw it's picture in my uncle's book about the Titanic. It frightened me so much that I couldn't even turn to that page without first sliding my hand over the image.
Those dining room window panels are genius!
I have been researching Titanic and maritime history in general longer than Mike has been alive, and yet here he is teaching me new facts of Titanic. Thank you Mike for all that you do.
Well, you've got a lot on your plate. If you started when you were 20 and live to 80 yrs old, you might be able to identify the 3 million shipwrecks that litter the ocean floor if you research 148 shipwrecks @ day. (And which ones contain some of the $60Billion buried among them).🛳🕵♂
@@isabellind1292Yes but money isn’t everything, sure it helps, but true wealth is inside us and the lives human and animal, that we touch in positive and loving ways. It’s taken me 60yrs to work out that is the true wealth.

Wonderful video, Mike! I never tire of the Titanic and her relics. No one can present this topic like you. Thank you!
I completely agree with you. I have spent many years researching details of the ship, I've also seen a number of exhibitions about the Titanic and like you never tire of it. Excellent video. Thank you.
My grandmother (born right at the start of the Great Depression, more than a decade after the sinking) had one of those dolls. I know it was passed down to her, but I don't know by what route. Years ago she found one at an antique store and bought it, dressing it up in what she felt was the correct outfit and setting it in her home in a little chair where she'd jokingly talk to it.
Mu mum has a doll like this passed down.
I remember seeing some wreck footage of a 1st class cabin in which a wall mounted gimble lamp which had fallen down but was still plugged into the electrical outlet. It was also resting on top of the headboard of a remarkably well preserved bed frame which all the patterns engraved into the metal still visible.

It's amazing how much stuff is still around after all this time. The tiles in the Turkish bath are still hauntingly beautiful. I did create a similar motif for one of my own floors at home to resemble the black and white tiles from the Grand Staircase area. I could only guesstimate the size, but they look awesome. I used a photo of how the tiles looked, and cut them and pieced them together. That floor is in my foyer, and took me nearly 2 weeks to complete. I was working a 10 hour shift at that time. Awesome video, as always. (Jan Griffiths).
I love that, even after reading about the Titanic for 20 years, there are still new things to learn such as the likely fire in the Silent Room and the discovery of the Aft Staircase dome piece. Thank you for the video and your channel.
I cannot help but feel that magnificent ship is anything but dead. Chilling how she speaks. Fascinated by her and the sea since I was a small boy in the early 1980s. Crossing by ship still is the ONLY way to travel, that hasn't changed for those in the know. Your work is magnificent and worthy, thank you for that. Greatly appreciated and just.
The water glass and jug are among my favorite artifacts still on Titanic.
Meanwhile that wine from the other ship looks like dishwater.
The crab water description might have been apt; teenage crabs drank the wine, then refilled the bottles with salt water in hopes of not being discovered. 🦀🍾

I’m 67 years old and the titanic has fascinated me my whole life. I soaked up everything I could find as a young man and when it was found and photographed I was even more astonished. I would love to see what a bottle of scotch would taste like after all that time. Oh well I’ve talked enough, I love your videos keep up the great work.
I truly don't think we'd know as much as we do about The Titanic without James Cameron. His personal love for finding out about this horrible accident has helped us all.
Great work as always Mike!
The swimming pool? I'd guess that with the watertight doors closed it may have been relatively "dry" and intact UNTIL like a submarine it reached crush depth, then boom, devastation. There's probably not much to be seen at this point.
I remember seeing Dr. Ballard describing how that doll's face almost gave him a heart attack! For a moment he thought it was a skull! I probably would have thought the same! I mean nothing around except wreckage and then this face? Wow.
Thanks for posting!
Imagine being someone who worked on all of the intricate little details of the Titanic. Hand painted stuff, artist wood work, the moving guys. Bet they were all pissed.
Thank you for this video. I especially like the radio room. In the book "Titanic, An Illustrated History" by Don Lynch and illustrated by Ken Marschall it says that on Sunday Phillips and Bride were behind in sending messages out and were trying to catch up. On Saturday the radio was down and they worked through the night and had it running by about 5:00 AM Sunday. It is scary to think what might have happened if they were not able to fix the radio. Two real heroes. I wonder if what you related had anything to do with that. Love your video. I always wish they would release all video of the wreck. I would sit hour after hour to watch it.
That any of the delicate interior exists today, still speaks of the amazing quality and workmanship that Titanic had. What a magnificent ship she must have been to see, in person. It makes me so sad to remember that so many passed away. May they rest in peace. 🕊️❤
bro, i grew up at the very bottom on new zealand, near bluff, where the crews of the fishing vessels and the foreign vessels unloading cargo and loading up with aluminum and produce from the many freezing works had to brave the dreaded foveaux strait. i am 50 now and, thanks to you, i am still learning new things about titanic, a subject that has fascinated me since i was a lad, pestering my uncles to take me out to sea with them... and getting my way once in a while. i loved the way a small vessel would ride up and down the huge swells, like a big truck driving up and down steep grades and i loved the way that the ship would crest the swell and kind of surf down into the trough. equally thrilling and terrifying. i loved to be in the wheelhouse when i was allowed as well as the engine room. i have made the cook strait journey in rough seas and it's even more thrilling to be on a large vessel like a large passenger and vehicle ferry navigate high seas. your channel has really been a catalyst for me to remember all those times. everytime i see you post about titanic my instincts tell me i'm not going to learn anything new but every single time you school me and i am grateful for it, arr me hearty, keep up the fine work shipmate...

The details still seen on and inside the ship just remind us the importance of valuing human life.💙 Thank you for uploading
Sadly, human morality has decayed significantly since then.

Interesting, I was always told every dog on-board perished on the Titanic, but glad to know that's a myth
I think most of them perished, but a few (or maybe 2 or 3, small ones of course) were saved. I've been trying to find out how many were on the Titanic, but I haven't been able to get that number at least reliably.
An additional point: in Don Lynch's excellent book "Titanic - An Illustrated History", he tells how someone (can't remember if it was a crew member or a passenger) went to the kennels and opened the cages late in the sinking so at least the dogs wouldn't be trapped
There’s actually a photo taken from Carpathia that shows one of the dogs in a lifeboat as they approached.
@@bethkoch11😿😥😥😥
12 dogs on the ship 3 survived I believe 2 were Pomeranians. A cat was also believed to be on the ship but not brought on by a passenger.
I have NEVER heard that there was space onboard preserved! My brother was obsessed with the Titanic as a kid and have NEVER seen information about the things on the front of the ship were preserved or even DRY! Absolutely FACINATING!
From dives I've seen of it the front was destroyed because of the arrow dynamic starboard. When it crashed on the sea bed the ship floors looked like they collapsed. Also there didn't seem to be a way inside the ship.
I went to the Titanic museum years ago. They had so many relics & rooms set up exactly the way they were on the ship. The real iceberg, (smaller), than the actual one, was the exact temperature of the water the Titanic sank in, u could touch to understand the point of cold. Seeing the different baby & childs shoes was my hardest 💔point seeing.
I went to the titanic exhibit a few years ago too, only because it was dicounted when purchased in unison with the bodies exhibit i wanted to go to. Im so glad I did, it was much more interesting and emotional than I had expected! I wish it had the iceberg you mentioned when I went but it didn't. I liked how your ticket had the name and information of a real passenger on board and at the end you got to find out if your passenger survived or not. Kinda really put the loss into a personal perspective. My passenger survived, my friend I went with, his passenger did not. The grand staircase and hallway replicas were really cool to walk through as well.
It’s so sad you don’t see this type of grand interior designs anymore, nowadays people want a white box.
People don't want that, ship builders and ship buyers want that because it's cheaper and you can fit more people in them.
The color renderings of Titanic in her glory render the tragedy all the more poignant. Thanks, friend Brady.
Mike, I’ve been watching your channel for a long time! I’ve been a Titanic enthusiast and honestly believe you have the best videos on the subject and other famous ships in history. Thank you for providing class and positivity to social media!
Thank you, Mike Brady! I never get tired of seeing footage and hearing information about the Titanic wreck. I've been fascinated with Titanic since I first heard of it when I was 6 years old!
A full gamut of expert craftsmen fabricating a complete ship.
The sumptuous fabrics alone are astounding in detail and selection.
Many thanks for another awesome video, I have never been a fan of salvaging artifacts from the wreck but putting them in a museum is one thing selling bottles of champagne to the ultra rich should never have been allowed.
The lifespan left to the other items is limited and they are very expensive to retrieve. What's the value of a few of the thousands of bottles sold if the money is used to save more of those other items into a museum. I would much rather see other things saved before it's too late.
The ultra rich who actually give anything other than industry and some charities are far and few between. So by not selling a bottle, you are condemning something else to rot away. There are so many fascinating things we haven't even seen yet.
Anything && EVERYTHING TITANIC or boats, ships, anything that can float or sink on the ocean in Oceanliner Designs I trust. Much love always from Brasil.♡
I love these kinds of videos honestly. i remember the ones it was spliced from, they were some of my favorites! its so chilling but so cool to see what has survived, and the condition that it is in.
it makes it feel so much more real.
i could honestly watch stuff like this for hours, just looking at all of the things that have been found, either still on the ocean floor or things recovered. its absolutely fascinating to me.
The "Jake and Elwood" footage is my favorite part of "Ghosts of the Abyss," especially the footage taken of the leaded glass window with the lighting chandelier, Magellan, shining brightly through it. I would love to see a part two of "Ghosts of the Abyss." Somebody call the captain of the Keldish, load up the two Mirs and Magellan, and round up the Kodiak Cowboys. It's time to ride again. LOL Thank you, Mr. Brady. As usual, this Oceanliner Designs production is informative, respectful, and extremely honorable.
Mike, you and your team and the fine folks at THG have really made presentations like this so much more enjoyable. Thank you for what you do. It is greatly appreciated.
Just a note on the champagne bottles not imploding at the sea bottom: it's not the internal pressure of the champagne that resisted the sea pressure (70 psi is negligible against the 6000 psi bearing down on it), but instead the corks likely got pushed inside the 1/4" air gap in the bottle until the cork reached the liquid and the pressures equalized. If the air gap was bigger the cork likely would have been pushed all the way in like with the wine bottles.
It's really neat to see how the final state of some of the rooms or items tell (and/or confirm) the story of the final moments of the ship and it's people. Thanks Mike and team - another wonderful and informative video.
This was utterly fascinating. I absolutely loved the superimposed photos showing what certain areas or features of the ship looked like before it sank vs what they look like now. It really highlights what a tragedy this was, and there were moments that gave me goosebumps. Excellent work.
It's always a pleasure to visit your site and draw upon your extensive research, knowledge, and stories on this endlessly fascinating topic of RMS Titanic, Mike. Thank you for sharing.
Simply fascinating this ship wreck is and such a tragic loss of lives of those on board
Thanks for remaking this video, Mike! I had been looking for the one about the bowler hat before but couldn't find it.
I've recently discovered your channel and man I know little to nothing about ships but you still make it incredibly fascinating to listen
Always gives me the heebie jeebies seeing video footage/photos of the titanic wreck interesting stuff as usual my friend Mike Brady.
For me, it is always, on any wreck where lives were lost, the shoes.
The empty tied shoes. Haunting.
Over a hundred years later, and we still are fascinated by this case of the Titanic! Thanks for doing your thing! (:
The glass is a great example of how things can randomly fall into place and dreamers can imagine there's a deeper (no pun) meaning to what they're seeing, rather than just something unexpected.
Heart breaking for all those lost, but also for all those thousands who worked to build this beautiful ship. I can't imagine the soul haunting pain from working so hard to hand create this marvelous ship, only to hear that on it's first outing it sank into the icy Atlantic. My heart pains for the artisans and craft men who built this work of art.
I might be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that in the Marconi room the main switch was held up by an electromagnet to prevent damage in the event of a power loss. Basically the idea was putting the switch into the on position would activate the electromagnet and hold the switch in place. If power was lost, the switch would drop back to the off position so when power was restored a surge wouldn't go to the equipment and cause damage. If this is correct, the operators may not have shut off the system, meaning it was still live when the water reached it causing the short. Once the electromagnet holding the switch up lost power though, the switch would fall to the off position.
Do you think it might ?
Amen.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate you being well dressed, being inclusive with the US unit of measurement (we can’t help that we were taught that), presenting the information in an organized manner (such as providing photos of before and after shots so we understand what we’re looking at) and finally, including passenger and crew names. Consider me a new subscriber 😊
Won't lie, the dog called Sun Yat Sen caught me off guard, I love that fact haha
A Titanic video not rehashing the same stuff, fascinating, thank you.
it amazes me that to this day, after all these years, titanic's swimming pool is still full of water
Lol thank you
It's refreshing and so enjoyable when you find a channel which so much care and accurate information has been presented. Thank you so very much.
Only yesterday, 73 years after her sinking, Ballard blew me away with the announcement that he had found the great ship. It seemed only the day before that my Father and I watched a new movie about raising the Titanic. I grew up perusing through 'The Ship Magnificent' - I'm sure our good Friend here did likewise...
Respect, eh.
The talk about the wireless room was amazing. Seeing technology like that be prevalent in 1912 is so cool and fascinating. It’s amazing to see how we’ve adapted from that to phone calls from thousands of miles away.
I realized I hadn't subscribed yet, this video reminded me. Your videos a very respectful to those who were lost and those who survived the sinking, yet still satisfy the curiosity of all those interested in shipwrecks and sinkings like this. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity as wrecks like this have sparked an almost morbid interest in me since I was a child and saw footage of David Ballads first discovery and was glued to my Dad's National Geographic Magazine about the sinking. I poured over the pictures. Wrecks like this keep me from taking sea voyages due to mans overconfidence and arrogance.
I didn't know there were such extensive facades to comfort uneasy travelers. Quite elaborate for the time.
When names and pictures are shown, a deep sadness overtakes me. It’s so much easier to “deal” w/ the number of lost, when they remain nameless. Such a chilling dichotomy.
Sadness is a natural and normal response. They deserve to always be named and shown. It's not meant to be "easy" for you to digest...
@@lizzi7128 right, which is why I watched and commented. It helps the algorithm, which helps promote the video.
It's also interesting to note that the swimming pools on the Titanic were constructed with such high-quality materials and workmanship that it is speculated they may still be holding water, over a century after the ship's sinking.
Classic 😂
Has it been taste tested to see if there is still chlorine in them? 🏊🏻♂️
A water tight door prevents access to the swimming pool area so this can not be confirmed
@@farmkid230 Also, some of the first class passengers kept their dogs w/them in their cabins despite it wasn't really permitted. There was a dog show slated for later in the day the Titanic sunk.
The crew members who cared for the passengers dogs released them from their kennels during the terrible event taking place. (I think there were over a dozen dogs, I can't remember the #'s).
The ship's mascot was Jenny the Cat. RIP all victims of the Titanic, human and animal. It should remain a memorial site, not ever to become a tourist attraction. No one pays to go to memorial sites and this is a gravesite/memorial site.🌹❤
@@farmkid230that’s really fascinating!
I'm a lifelong Titanic buff and always learn new things from your videos. Even the tiles are fascinating, and I was lucky to see some of the red and white ones at a recent exhibition in Melbourne
Mike - you’re an astute young man, professional in every respect, and as someone very interested in history and Titanic, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
This is amazing. When I was a kid in the 80's one of my babysitters had hundreds of National Geographic magazines and I would spend all day in the bookcase no matter how nice and sunny it was out. Titanic was one of my favorite subjects at the time as well as Vesuvius and NASA missions.
I remember reading those yellow National Geographic magazines too.I remember one copy that had a three page fold out photo of the wreck
@@michaelwest5640 Yess! I think they used the Angus camera "sled" for that and made a mosaic. I thought that was absolutely fascinating. I'll have to look that stuff up again.
It's amazing the water jug and glass are even full of water still!
really amazing is, that on every post about titanic, somebody believes, that he is the first one who made this joke
I just wanted to say the way that you cover the Titanic story is incredibly interesting and thorough. You bring it to life. I also love the way that you recognize the loss of life and the valor of those who try to save others.
My late mother was from Southampton England which was, I believe, Titanic's homeport although I am not sure about that. She told me once that several Southampton men were lost when the ship sank. A terrible tragedy.
It was absolutely one of the ports on its route, though its stern name declares "Liverpool" as its home port.
@@browncoatkevin I wondered about that as well. Then I read somewhere that the name on the stern of the ship denotes the ships place of REGISTRATION, and not not necessarily its regular port of embarcation. (Many of CP's Empress liners also showed LIVERPOOL on their sterns, but more often sailed out of Southhampton. I believe it became a problem for ships departing from Liverpool because it depended so much on the tides. )
From the first time I learned about the Titanic, more than 50 years a go, I've been extremely and constantly mesmerized by it. No other subject matter has fascinated me more than the Titanic.
Hello My_Friend :)) Cool to see new Titanic episode!
The more of Titanic’s majestic history is revealed,the more I see that story materialized in the James Cameron 1997 film. Like the baker who went into the pantry to grab as much alcohol as possible before the ship went down,then you see the man on the back of the stern with Jack and Rose taking his last shot of whiskey before the ship went down. Amazing!
Now I have to go and watch Titanic again.
The beauty of that ship never ceases to amaze me. I've wished many times, one of those ships had survived!
