Very correct, this is like the Aaron1912 V-break theory but worse. WHY WOULD THEY SINK A SHIP THAT IS 883 FT LONG AND WITH 2400 PEOPLE ON IT ON PURPOSE? WHO WOULD DO THAT?!!
Bacause of how prepared they were that’s why they had bolt doors in the boiler rooms so when it started leaking threw the front they bolted that part shut but it ended up catching up
@@stussymishkaIt is pretty simple actually. The Captian ignored warnings and was full speed into known icebergs,icing. The high speed and impact of the iceberg and where it hit ultimately let to the sinking.
I'm not so sure Titanic was "meant to sink." What ship can survive more than 1/3 of its length opened to the sea? The ship was not meant to be run up against an iceberg that's hard as granite and extensively damage its hull below the waterline.
It’s got burnt and there is one week spot and it’s very sad the world has been scared of it it sank 100 years it was so sad but we had to go with it but they’re taking the Titanic out of the water I think but the Titanic’s disappearing for you and I think that there is so much damage
Bright side: The titanic was supposed to stay afloat, even with *4* of these compartments flooded, but the iceberg hit *5* of them. Also bright side: The iceberg grazed the ship, and the iceberg slashed a hole into *6* of these compartments, witch, you might've guessed, is *2* more than what it was designed for.
Actually 6 were punctured, just that boiler room 5, the 6th compartment breeched, didn’t flood as the pumps kept the water out until the water flowed over the bulkhead.
Why do people not realize that Titanic was THE safest ship in the world with the best technologies at that time, it was a chain of unlucky events that let her to sink, even ships today are less safe in some regards, no ship is designed to survive a side swipe because it's so rare.

Captain Smith carried on at full speed despite ice warnings because that was standard practice on all ships on all shipping lines, and they would only reduce speed when they physically sighted ice. The Titanic actually carried more lifeboats than it was legally required to. In those days, the number of boats a ship had to have was calculated by tonnage, not passenger numbers, and the reason a lot of boats went away not full was the strict “women and children only” edict of the day that was rigidity enforced by First Officer Lightoller in particular.

Using the iceberg as a floating survival thing was never a consideration and would never have worked. By the the time the Titanic actually stopped the iceberg was probably half a mile or more astern in the dark. To turn around and look for it in the dark and then to somehow berth alongside an unstable jagged ice .... and then assuming that there was a flat area on it for over 1000 people to stand on. Nah never a thing worth mentioning.
Even if the Titanic had stopped in time to get to the iceberg, it would have been dangerous to camp out on a piece of floating ice that had just been hit with the largest ship in the world moving at full throttle
@@falcondragonslayer It's worth the risk to stand on those ice bergs. They don't have enough life jackets for everyone. Not even boats...The iceberg is their hope
Imagine being a passenger on the titanic refusing to use your chance to get on a lifeboat only to realize later you gave up your only chance for survival because you didn’t believe the boat was sinking 😩
The main hull structure of large ships -- including cruise ships -- is typically constructed of STEEL, not aluminum. Although superstructures are often made of aluminum or other non-ferrous materials to reduce weight and keep centers of gravity low, the basic hulls, keels, and framing are usually steel. The larger the ship the more likely this will be the case. Heavy steel is MUCH easier to work with than heavy aluminum - and WAY cheaper, too. Welding aluminum requires extensive preheating of the work area to fairly exact tolerances, and the heavier the aluminum the more complicated and drawn out the pre- and post-heating regimens will be. Heavy steel can often be welded with relatively simple arc/stick welding techniques that are much more forgiving of environmental fluctuations. As for the Titanic, it was constructed at a time when riveted iron construction was the predominant method of building ships. Larger ships were already reaching their practical size limit, however, and a shift from iron to steel as a building material was just coming into play. Likewise, riveted steel construction was reaching its limits, and welded steel was the nascent metal shipbuilding method on the near horizon. These factors also played a serious part in the Titanic disaster.
And the Germans where superior to the rest in welding techniques which they wouldn’t share re the rest of the world using rivets and the Germans refused to export so they could keep the technology secret
Why is it as a titanic enthusiast for the past three years the majority of titanic videos from Bright Side are almost entirely incorrect. Titanic was also never doomed from the start, that’s just theory’s and are proven false.
Because he keeps making BS videos which people keep watching and for which RUclips prolly pays him? I mean, why do research when you don't have to? Most of the people making comments here seem to barely be able to string a sentence together, so if you can use exactly the same footage and just tell a different bunch of lies for commentary, why not?

well, technically by law the titanic had enough lifeboats, the sinking of the ship was one of the reasons the law was changed, it wasnt to save jp morgan money and it wasnt because it was deemed unsinkable but the actual laws at the time which supported the amount of life boats.
There was nothing wrong with the steel--it was tested in the 1990s the steel was found to actually be fine.. It was rivets that were sheared off. This was because the areas up where the bows become narrower and the turn of the bilge could not be machine-riveted. This meant hand riveting with iron rivets rather than steel. These could become very brittle and when she sideswiped the ice berg , those rivet heads sheared off, allowing the steel plates to separate. The rest of the critique seems pretty solid. Another thing not helping was that she took on a list, making loading and or lowering harder. On the side the ship was listing towards, the boats swung out farther than if the ship was fully upright making it difficult for them to be loaded. On the other side, lowering was made difficult because the lifeboats scraped against the rivets in the hull. Oh, and Captain Smith DID tell the lookouts to keep a sharp lookout for small ice, bergs, and "growlers" (a type of low-lying iceberg). It didn't help that the sky was moonless and the water was still.
@@Senorodeo The Olympic incident was an accident that nobody could have expected. And the reason the Titanic crashed was because his years and years of experience at sea worked against him because the ship's rudder was way too small
@@falcondragonslayer Titanic rudder was not small it had the necessary size after titanic sinking they used Olympic as a reference and they determined that the rudder nor the wheel where a problem the problem was that no ship at that time could had turned in enough time to avoid the iceberg
@@juanesmirez Smaller ships would have made the turn. Regardless of whether the rudder was supposedly the ‘proper size’ it could have been saved had the rudder been larger. Regulations were too lax back then. They weren’t even required to have enough lifeboats for crying out loud!
By the time the severity of the situation was fully realized by Thomas Andrews and Captain Smith, the iceberg was miles away, so there was no way they could use the iceberg as a life raft. That was a plot device from the novella "Futility" (alternate title "The Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson published in 1898. Robertson has his ship the Titan, which is the largest ship of the day, run aground on an iceberg in the (surprise, surprise) North Atlantic and ripping its keel out, with some of the survivors evacuating to the berg before the ship slips off and sinks. Also it was the owners of Titanic, The Oceanic Steam Navigation Company or White Star Line, who in a cost saving move set the number of life boats to 14 main boats, two secondary boats and 4 collapsible boats with a total capacity of about 1500 for a ship that could carry 3200, incidentally in full compliance with British Board of Trade lifeboat requirements. Also in compliance with BOT requirements, there had yet to be a full lifeboat drill for even the crew let alone a briefing for the passengers about lifeboat stations or procedures.
You wanna know something else I don't think the creator mentioned, the Titanic was only 11 inches longer than her sister, Olympic, which was the previous largest ship in the world.
@@derkaiser50 actually Titanic was the same lenght as Olympic, Titanic was larger but in tonnage, like that Britannic was larger than Aquitania, but shorter by a few meters
"The titanic was meant to sink" *Shows the titanic made out of steel and modern ships made out of aluminum* Gee, it's almost. Almost like.... The ships at the time titanic was made..... WERE ALL MADE OUT OF STEEL BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST COMMON BUILDING MATERIAL FOR SHIPS AT THE TIME. Funny how that works.
There's also the Titanic museums in Branson, Mo or Pigeon Forge, Tn. They are modeled out of the ship and have an exact replica of the grand staircase as well as a replica of the deck. When you pay to get into the museums, you get a boarding pass with a name of a passenger that was on the ship.
Love Branson! It's like Las Vegas without the gambling, prostitutes, and homeless people everywhere. Beautiful city! It blew my mind the first time driving down Branson's main road and seeing the Titanic!
And today 2 years after the video is made, people should be amazed at the audacity of selling the dream of seeing the titanic last time. More than 100 years ago Titanic ship sank, few days ago Titan submersible also sank and with that sank any desire of seeing the titanic last time no matter how rich is the person. Some incidents are not supposed to be seen and associated with in any form. They only bring misery.
If i remember correctly i remember the people that built the titanic stated that they used 5 start metal to build the ship so it would be unsinkable but they never stated that they ran out of funds so they had to use cheap and easily broken bolts to tighten the metals.
You might not have been able to have as much fun on an early 20th century ocean liner (especially if you couldn't afford first class ameneties), but if you overlook the chance of drowning if your ship hit an iceberg and the fact that it took a week to cross the Atlantic, I'd bet most people would find travelling on a ship a LOT more comfortable and pleasant than traveling on a plane.
@@Mike1064abTrue… but to have 4 maybe 5 people in a room for steerage. Rats on the ship. You name it, it was down there. I think I saw steerage would still cost you like 800-1000$ in todays time. So for 1000$ to be packed in a room with people you don’t know and let’s be real… poor people. Now that’s a problem.
Some things to consider: * Using the iceberg that hit the ship as a temporary haven for the passengers is both an exercise in futility and poor decision-making. Engines were run during the damage inspection and by the time it was completed, more than 15 minutes after the collision, it was determined that the better decision was to make a complete stop and relieve the boilers' pressure as the incoming sea water would've made them explode, so going after the iceberg (any iceberg in fact) would've resulted in the ship sinking much sooner than the nearly 3 hours it stayed afloat. * That photograph is not from Britannic's explosion but the Olympic crash, it is of course not comparable to the ones that sunk its sister ships and no one was injured, the ship it collided with got sunk in WWI and Violet wasn't onboard the HMS Hawke, so in reality she survived 2 shipwrecks. * There are better uses for your money in my opinion for the Titanic "experience": The Harland & Wolff offices with its massive drawing room in Belfast are now a hotel and the restaurant of the White Swan hotel in Northumberland boasts the paneling, stained glass and ceiling from its sister ship the Olympic. You can also, as Molly Brown did, organize and use your money to realize Robert Ballard's idea of cleaning and painting the hull to make it last longer (and I mean a lot longer than the predicted century that will last) so not only you but future generations will be able to see it. By the way, if you want to know how much that same expedition to the Titanic cost before the study that calculated its rapidly deteriorating condition was published, it was $70,000.
My Mother and sister were on the last military ship that carried Military families overseas. They went from Norfolk VA to Turkey. After that they flew the families, that would have been 1961 if you are interested.
did you know that the fourth smoke stack on the titanic actually didn't release any smoke. it was used as ventilations and also aesthetics cuz the designer didn't want three. the more you know.
No, it was not a clerical error that the lookouts didn't have binoculars. Those would have made it harder to spot a 'berg, because you'd have to be looking straight at something to see it. Ordinarily, captains did not want lookouts trying to identify things with binoculars, their job was only to notify the bridge that they could see something. Scientists now believe they didn't see the 'berg because of light-refraction.
It was not “meant to sink” bro. She was built the same as every other ship, with the same materials as all other ships of her era. There had never been a disaster as bad as Titanic and there had never been an incident where a ship had more than 1/3 of her total length opened up to the sea. The fact that she stayed afloat for nearly three hours after hitting an iceberg that was 5 times heavier than she was and that damaged 1/3 of her total length is a testament to her strength and shows how much her crew tried to keep her floating for as long as possible. Titanic changed EVERYTHING in shipping. Before she went down, she didn’t do anything that was out of the ordinary and she wasn’t meant to sink.
WHY?? You had better hurry, she is disintegrating fast now, due to micro-organisms that eat away even iron! She will be totally gone by 2050, scientists say! Some say 2030! She belongs to the sea floor now, and the currents that soothe her frame as she slowly fades away.
@@mjlejer3241 That isn't accurate. Yes, the ship is disintegrating, but it will take centuries, not 3 decades, to disappear or collapse onto itself completely. It will look different by 2050, but will still be quite visible.
It made no difference the ones that where launched where not all full .designed to carry 65 but tested up 70 safely they were launched with 40 people onboard
I would like to SINCERELY thank Bright Side for speaking clearly and for observing grammar, and more specifically, for observing spoken punctuation. And also, for not corrupting your narrating with useless noise effects. I can't count how many RUclipsrs are an epic fail, due to deplorable speech.
Symphony of the Seas is an Oasis -class cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International. She was built in 2018 in the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, the fourth in Royal Caribbean's Oasis class of cruise ships. Her home port is Miami, a beautiful cruiser, if you like a huge floating hotel with a dozen or so decks! I used to love to cruise, but those modern liners with all those decks look, so TOP-HEAVY to me, no thanks!
Some tidbits of information. But bizarrely, the video launches without warning or context into an in-depth examination of the difficulties of evacuating the passengers onto an iceberg using a gangplank and lifeboats, despite this never ever been mentioned before as a possibility, let alone standard procedure. And some of the real difficulties that prevented many of the lifeboats being used (once the ship listed too far the derricks could not lower them properly into the water) were ignored.
I so love the image of *Titanic* 🚢 over 100 years later gets more-evidence in fact and details. Plus better emojis, Science you name it. Even if my like only gets one I hope it lasts forever🙃
With the four collapsible lifeboats, RMS Titanic exceeded the Board of Trade requirement regarding lifeboat capacity which stipulated a vessel of 10,000 tons or more to carry 16 lifeboats with a total capacity of 9,625 cubic feet (272.5 m3), sufficient for 960 people. The original distress call was CQD which Titanic utilized and then switched over to the recently implemented and more recognizable SOS, becoming the first to send an SOS distress call. Operating a radio was a bit of a specialized field conveying administrative and personal traffic to and from shore. A vessel with a light traffic load would typically carry only a single operator working the better part of sixteen hour days. The radio on Titanic had broken down on April 14. Phillips and McBride spent their waking and sleeping hours repairing it on their own initiative. A considerable number of messages had accumulated which Phillips was trying to clear when advised by Californian's operator of ice with a very loud signal. The radio operator has been replaced by a facsimile machine through shore facilities or satellite. Functional radar for a ship was still thirty years away, orbiting satellites still forty five years away. Visual lookouts was the only warning system then, and to a lesser degree still used today.
CQ D is not a distress signal, but a generic term used exclusively by Marconi operators. "CQ" means "all stations" (i.e, all the ships in the area) and "D" meant "in need of assistance". Titanic wasn't sending out a distress call, she was telling other ships she was in need of aid without actually stating what aid she required, causing confusion onboard Frankfurt, a nearby German ship that would have arrived by 2am, in time to save more people than Carpathia did. Since CQ D was vague and time consuming (in the same manner that the Germans used the equally vague "SOE"), it was agreed by all the wireless companies in 1906 that "SOS" would be used as an international distress signal understandable to all ships and was implemented in 1908. As such, Titanic was not the first vessel to use the "SOS" call. The first recorded use was by an American vessel in August 1909, with many more ships using it in the following 3 years. Titanic was, however, the first recorded British flagged ship to do so.
I just found the 1997 ‘ENTERTAINMENT’. Magazine, in pristine condition, featuring the the movie‘TITANIC’! I’m thinking maybe Mr. Brightside needs a gift of appreciation for all his great shows? Or maybe not interested in movie? I was surprised to find it. But immediately thought of you!
Oh you know this video was released some time ago. The newest trip package includes a two for one. You get to visit the Titanic and the Titan. Hopefully your next guided tour excursion includes a round trip package. Better off building a barrel and going over Niagara Falls if your really into danger.
Offloading on the iceberg is a really bad idea. I saw a video of a boat dropping off 2 people on an iceberg and within seconds the iceberg rolled ontop of them. It made me realize that icebergs keep themselves perfectly balanced as it melts on all sides. Throwing bodies on a floating island is enough to make it flip. An iceberg is definitly not a boat
Mikael Hemlingberg First of all it is not 'got hit' it is "was struck' You do not understand what the word 'GOT' means. nor are you fluent in the English language. Your vocabulary is very limited because you fail to read BOOKS. RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Oceanic collided with the HMS Hawke, a Royal Navy Minesweeper The collision occurred on 20 September 1911 in the Solent, which is the stretch of water between Southampton and Portsmouth, a Royal Navy base I am very familiar with. Note that the name is HMS HAWKE not HMS HAWK HMS Hawke was herself sunk some five years later by a German U-boat. You can undertake your own research
@@JoeLikesTrains The Olympic did sink, sometime later than Titanic. She was on all three sister ships. She was on hospital ship Brittanic when it was torpedoed by the Germans in WW1. Try reading her biography.
@@Alice-sw9hf It's both. They didn't need a 4th stack for ventilation, but they wanted 4 to look cooler (if I remember correctly, they wanted it to look like the Kronprinz Wilhelm and other similar ships of the Hamburg America Line). Since they added a 4th, they decided to use it for ventilation instead of designing a separate ventilation system and having a useless funnel.
Too many errors in this video. The iceberg compromised 6 compartments not 5. The water tight doors made it sink slower not faster because the ship would have capsized instead. It wouldn't have lasted 45 minutes without those watertight compartments.

The main hull structure of large ships -- including cruise ships -- is typically constructed of STEEL, not aluminum. Although superstructures are often made of aluminum or other non-ferrous materials to reduce weight and keep centers of gravity low, the basic hulls, keels, and framing are usually steel. The larger the ship the more likely this will be the case.
Heavy steel is MUCH easier to work with than heavy aluminum - and WAY cheaper, too. Welding aluminum requires extensive preheating of the work area to fairly exact tolerances, and the heavier the aluminum the more complicated and drawn out the pre- and post-heating regimens will be. Heavy steel can often be welded with relatively simple arc/stick welding techniques that are much more forgiving of environmental fluctuations.
As for the Titanic, it was constructed at a time when riveted iron construction was the predominant method of building ships. Larger ships were already reaching their practical size limit, however, and a shift from iron to steel as a building material was just coming into play. Likewise, riveted steel construction was reaching its limits, and welded steel was the nascent metal shipbuilding method on the near horizon. These factors also played a serious part in the Titanic disaster.
Ships aren't made out of aviation grade aluminum? Im stunned.
@@HeizouHaver I thought that ships were made by Aluminum foil!
And the Germans where superior to the rest in welding techniques which they wouldn’t share re the rest of the world using rivets and the Germans refused to export so they could keep the technology secret
That is correct. In fact, construction of a modern large ship starts with working on the metallurgy.

well, technically by law the titanic had enough lifeboats, the sinking of the ship was one of the reasons the law was changed, it wasnt to save jp morgan money and it wasnt because it was deemed unsinkable but the actual laws at the time which supported the amount of life boats.
the thing is, Titanic only had time to launch 15 out of 16 lifeboats. Even if there were more they would run out of time.
2:54 "I made that part up." Dude you fricking made the whole script of the video up!
There's more theories about how titanic sank than to how the world started.
Ikr
Same like with Diana&Dodi..
There was nothing wrong with the steel--it was tested in the 1990s the steel was found to actually be fine.. It was rivets that were sheared off. This was because the areas up where the bows become narrower and the turn of the bilge could not be machine-riveted. This meant hand riveting with iron rivets rather than steel. These could become very brittle and when she sideswiped the ice berg , those rivet heads sheared off, allowing the steel plates to separate.
The rest of the critique seems pretty solid. Another thing not helping was that she took on a list, making loading and or lowering harder. On the side the ship was listing towards, the boats swung out farther than if the ship was fully upright making it difficult for them to be loaded. On the other side, lowering was made difficult because the lifeboats scraped against the rivets in the hull.
Oh, and Captain Smith DID tell the lookouts to keep a sharp lookout for small ice, bergs, and "growlers" (a type of low-lying iceberg). It didn't help that the sky was moonless and the water was still.
Also modern ships also use steel, steel isn't outdated afaia. Not to mention the Titanic was an ocean liner, not a cruise ship.....lol
Recently read somewhere, that still water is an indicator that ice bergs are near.
and the binoculars were locked and they didn't have the key

Titanics captain was not amazing
He crashed her sister ship Olympic then crashed the titanic less the six months later
@@Senorodeo The Olympic incident was an accident that nobody could have expected. And the reason the Titanic crashed was because his years and years of experience at sea worked against him because the ship's rudder was way too small
@@falcondragonslayer Titanic rudder was not small it had the necessary size after titanic sinking they used Olympic as a reference and they determined that the rudder nor the wheel where a problem the problem was that no ship at that time could had turned in enough time to avoid the iceberg
@@juanesmirez Smaller ships would have made the turn. Regardless of whether the rudder was supposedly the ‘proper size’ it could have been saved had the rudder been larger. Regulations were too lax back then. They weren’t even required to have enough lifeboats for crying out loud!
I'm Never going into any Submarine to visit the Titanic wreck after the Titan Implosion!!!
By the time the severity of the situation was fully realized by Thomas Andrews and Captain Smith, the iceberg was miles away, so there was no way they could use the iceberg as a life raft. That was a plot device from the novella "Futility" (alternate title "The Wreck of the Titan" by Morgan Robertson published in 1898. Robertson has his ship the Titan, which is the largest ship of the day, run aground on an iceberg in the (surprise, surprise) North Atlantic and ripping its keel out, with some of the survivors evacuating to the berg before the ship slips off and sinks. Also it was the owners of Titanic, The Oceanic Steam Navigation Company or White Star Line, who in a cost saving move set the number of life boats to 14 main boats, two secondary boats and 4 collapsible boats with a total capacity of about 1500 for a ship that could carry 3200, incidentally in full compliance with British Board of Trade lifeboat requirements. Also in compliance with BOT requirements, there had yet to be a full lifeboat drill for even the crew let alone a briefing for the passengers about lifeboat stations or procedures.

Greetings, That is totally untrue and patently false!
You might not have been able to have as much fun on an early 20th century ocean liner (especially if you couldn't afford first class ameneties), but if you overlook the chance of drowning if your ship hit an iceberg and the fact that it took a week to cross the Atlantic, I'd bet most people would find travelling on a ship a LOT more comfortable and pleasant than traveling on a plane.
I will still go by ship or car before an airplane. I dont care what the timeline is - there is nothing in the world worth flying over.

Roasted like the coals in the boilers of Titanic-era ships 🔥🔥⚫️🔥🔥⚫️🔥🔥⚫️🔥🔥
Some things to consider:
* Using the iceberg that hit the ship as a temporary haven for the passengers is both an exercise in futility and poor decision-making. Engines were run during the damage inspection and by the time it was completed, more than 15 minutes after the collision, it was determined that the better decision was to make a complete stop and relieve the boilers' pressure as the incoming sea water would've made them explode, so going after the iceberg (any iceberg in fact) would've resulted in the ship sinking much sooner than the nearly 3 hours it stayed afloat.
* That photograph is not from Britannic's explosion but the Olympic crash, it is of course not comparable to the ones that sunk its sister ships and no one was injured, the ship it collided with got sunk in WWI and Violet wasn't onboard the HMS Hawke, so in reality she survived 2 shipwrecks.
* There are better uses for your money in my opinion for the Titanic "experience": The Harland & Wolff offices with its massive drawing room in Belfast are now a hotel and the restaurant of the White Swan hotel in Northumberland boasts the paneling, stained glass and ceiling from its sister ship the Olympic. You can also, as Molly Brown did, organize and use your money to realize Robert Ballard's idea of cleaning and painting the hull to make it last longer (and I mean a lot longer than the predicted century that will last) so not only you but future generations will be able to see it. By the way, if you want to know how much that same expedition to the Titanic cost before the study that calculated its rapidly deteriorating condition was published, it was $70,000.

Aluminium is not used on the modern ship hull building . It's steel only . Use of Aluminium is for internal not structural parts to reduce weight .
did you know that the fourth smoke stack on the titanic actually didn't release any smoke. it was used as ventilations and also aesthetics cuz the designer didn't want three. the more you know.
Because the competitions ships, Cunard, had four stacks. They didn’t want their ship to appear less powerful.

Yes , she had it only because Andrews , And Ismay thought that the Cunards ( lussitania and Mauritania) would see more powerful

No, it was not a clerical error that the lookouts didn't have binoculars. Those would have made it harder to spot a 'berg, because you'd have to be looking straight at something to see it. Ordinarily, captains did not want lookouts trying to identify things with binoculars, their job was only to notify the bridge that they could see something. Scientists now believe they didn't see the 'berg because of light-refraction.
It was not “meant to sink” bro. She was built the same as every other ship, with the same materials as all other ships of her era. There had never been a disaster as bad as Titanic and there had never been an incident where a ship had more than 1/3 of her total length opened up to the sea. The fact that she stayed afloat for nearly three hours after hitting an iceberg that was 5 times heavier than she was and that damaged 1/3 of her total length is a testament to her strength and shows how much her crew tried to keep her floating for as long as possible. Titanic changed EVERYTHING in shipping. Before she went down, she didn’t do anything that was out of the ordinary and she wasn’t meant to sink.
If I ever win the lottery I'm spending $505,000 to visit the sunken ship
WHY?? You had better hurry, she is disintegrating fast now, due to micro-organisms that eat away even iron! She will be totally gone by 2050, scientists say! Some say 2030! She belongs to the sea floor now, and the currents that soothe her frame as she slowly fades away.
@@mjlejer3241 That isn't accurate. Yes, the ship is disintegrating, but it will take centuries, not 3 decades, to disappear or collapse onto itself completely. It will look different by 2050, but will still be quite visible.

Some tidbits of information. But bizarrely, the video launches without warning or context into an in-depth examination of the difficulties of evacuating the passengers onto an iceberg using a gangplank and lifeboats, despite this never ever been mentioned before as a possibility, let alone standard procedure. And some of the real difficulties that prevented many of the lifeboats being used (once the ship listed too far the derricks could not lower them properly into the water) were ignored.
The titanic was never meant to sink, even if it never sank it would be turned into a troop carrier or hospital ship like britannic and Olympic

@@IgnitedDevs yea thats what I meant
Lol people before were, how do I say this? I guess less intelligent
@@loading.mp4479 what do u mean
With the four collapsible lifeboats, RMS Titanic exceeded the Board of Trade requirement regarding lifeboat capacity which stipulated a vessel of 10,000 tons or more to carry 16 lifeboats with a total capacity of 9,625 cubic feet (272.5 m3), sufficient for 960 people.
The original distress call was CQD which Titanic utilized and then switched over to the recently implemented and more recognizable SOS, becoming the first to send an SOS distress call.
Operating a radio was a bit of a specialized field conveying administrative and personal traffic to and from shore. A vessel with a light traffic load would typically carry only a single operator working the better part of sixteen hour days. The radio on Titanic had broken down on April 14. Phillips and McBride spent their waking and sleeping hours repairing it on their own initiative. A considerable number of messages had accumulated which Phillips was trying to clear when advised by Californian's operator of ice with a very loud signal. The radio operator has been replaced by a facsimile machine through shore facilities or satellite.
Functional radar for a ship was still thirty years away, orbiting satellites still forty five years away. Visual lookouts was the only warning system then, and to a lesser degree still used today.
CQ D is not a distress signal, but a generic term used exclusively by Marconi operators. "CQ" means "all stations" (i.e, all the ships in the area) and "D" meant "in need of assistance".
Titanic wasn't sending out a distress call, she was telling other ships she was in need of aid without actually stating what aid she required, causing confusion onboard Frankfurt, a nearby German ship that would have arrived by 2am, in time to save more people than Carpathia did.
Since CQ D was vague and time consuming (in the same manner that the Germans used the equally vague "SOE"), it was agreed by all the wireless companies in 1906 that "SOS" would be used as an international distress signal understandable to all ships and was implemented in 1908.
As such, Titanic was not the first vessel to use the "SOS" call. The first recorded use was by an American vessel in August 1909, with many more ships using it in the following 3 years. Titanic was, however, the first recorded British flagged ship to do so.
add to the fact that the binoculars were in a lock box where the only key for it was with a guy who didn't make it on to the ship

Offloading on the iceberg is a really bad idea. I saw a video of a boat dropping off 2 people on an iceberg and within seconds the iceberg rolled ontop of them. It made me realize that icebergs keep themselves perfectly balanced as it melts on all sides. Throwing bodies on a floating island is enough to make it flip. An iceberg is definitly not a boat
