All the workers that kept the boilers fed with coal and the electricians keeping the lights on are truly heros. Its amazing that a few survived.
I've always wondered looking at Titanic's blueprints, boiler room 5 was compromised after she collided with the iceberg. The boiler rooms quickly flooded as water spilled over the bulkheads. How did no boilers exploded when the ocean water came into contact with them. The bravery those men showed was beyond words chief bells and his engineers along with the stokers knew they would die, but tried to keep titanic alive, Rest in peace you heros.
What I really like about this docudrama is how accurate it portrays the reality of Titanic's engine crews faced not only on the voyage but during the sinking. Its something we have rarely seen in most Titanic medias. I really like how authentic the accents these guys have in this.
These men truly were heroes. Can u imagine trying to continue doing your job, knowing that you will most likely perish in the next couple of hours?! God bless them!
Reminds me of war stories: the soldiers do brave things with and for their buddies that they say they could not have done on their own.
Rest in peace
It also makes you wonder if those in power have so trained us, that we’ll carry on doing our work, even when it’s to our own detriment. It seems like the powerful push us “lower classes” to believe in doing what’s best for everyone, while they do what’s best for them. It’s not a bad thing to do what’s best for everyone, and the bravery and persistence of selfless people have saved untold lives… but ya gotta wonder…
Even today engineers uniforms on ships have purple braids on there uniforms to remember the brave engineers and stokers who stayed in the engine room to keep the power on titanic so passengers could find there way to the open decks. You'll never be forgotten, your bravery will be remembered for centuries to come.
I'm 28 minutes into the video and I'm hooked. Well done. Thank you.
I already have seen this masterpiece its so good, and in my opinion Oscar winning stuff is very well done. The actors are fabulous. The ending I was appsalutely in tears 😢 I don't want to give it away.
I never heard Titanic's demise from this perspective.. these men were the true Hero's.. thanks for sharing
Men were a different breed back then shame we don't have any real left in this world
Tell that to the families of the firemen climbing up Tower 1 and 2 in NYC in 2001. I would say they were cut from the same cloth. Absolute heroes.
When tragedy strikes, the real men step forward into the darkness when everyone else goes the other way. Thankfully, we haven't had any tragedies of those magnitudes in a long time.
I was loved that way for 34yrs. I miss him dearly 😢 My heart belongs to him ❤. I sobbed when Jack died
They are really heroes
Engineers and stokers deserved the special place in Heaven ❤
Completely amazing, beautiful wonderful excellent video. Thank you very much.
That was incredible!! Heros!!! Thanks ❤
To this day, they still wonder WHO IS sacrificing.
This docu drama made me cry, whilst there are some factual errors, the main part of the programme showing how integral these men were in keeping titanic afloat & with lights & ppwer to send SOS is correct and hearbreaking
The captain ordered that speed into the ice fields. The avarice of men murdered 1,500. I visited the graves of some of the victims when I lived in Halifax. It was right across from my apt building. It was so sad. These unsung heros stayed at their post. Barrett and dozens others. I feel for the son of the Chief Engineer.
April 14th shall always be "A Night to Remember"
Great Production.
Here's why the Titanic's story will never die: (1) she was the largest movable man-made object of her day, (2) she excelled in luxury appointments, (3) it was her maiden voyage (of all voyages), (4) there were many celebrities of the day on board, (5) there was already a lot of talk about all her features before she was ever launched (including her "unsinkability"), and (6) the Titanic was the first ship in living memory to be sunk by an iceberg.
April 15th its been 112 years ago since THE SHIP OF DREAMS has Sunken
May God rest these brave men who saved lives by their actions. If only the white star line had supplied enough life boats for all on board and the crew had carried out practice drills in filling the correct number of people in the boats before setting sail.
The ship listed and they could only get half of them
Titanic carried more lifeboats that Board of Trade regulations required.
A lifeboat drill had been carried out in Southampton before she sailed.
Powerful.
Excellent film!
Very interesting
1:31 The name also embodies defeat. The Titanic's troubles began with her very name; Titanic is the adjective for Titan, and the Titans in Greek mythology were a race who waged war against Zeus, the "god of gods." This is the part of the story that seems familiar to some. The part that seems unknown to most, shipbuilders at the time included, is that they lost :-D So, the ship's very name is actually symbolic of defeat
A sober reminder of the MEN that kept the lights on and died below while Rose and Jack ran about up on deck, and Bruce Ismay got into a lifeboat. Inspiring.
'Rose & Jack' did not exist. Ismay got into a lifeboat as it was being lowered with unoccupied seats, after helping passengers into other boats.
Heroes to the end.
1900s the golden ear of humanity
All of us miss the Titanic😢😢😢
Is this narrated by the Onion Knight?? Sounds a lot like him.
It is indeed; the man that I call the Irish Ricardo Montalban, the great Liam Cunningham.
Smith ran a brand new ship through colder than ice water at near flank speed into a known and reported iceberg area with a pitch black sky in a glass calm sea. Good idea?
Correct me if I'm wrong I thought ismay issued an order that they increase speed and that their was a verbal dispute between smith & ismay and the captain said this may be my last voyage but I'm still the captain it's my ship, next time tell me what you're doing
@@Lau_465 Not sure about that, but the captain is in charge and is ultimately responsible for his crew and passengers. Apparently is was a thing of the period to make that crossing as fast as possible and Titanic was close to flank speed when the burg was spotted.
I hold him responsible for the sinking. Even with all the things that went wrong,if their speed was slower they may have had a chance?
@lisalambrecht6676 There was sooooo much that led to her demise, like she was doomed from the moment of her conception. Captain Smith played his part, but he certainly wasn't the only one with blood on his hands. If anyone, I would say J. Bruce Isme made the majority of choices with deadly consequences... After everything I read on it, you really have to wonder if God cracked his fingers and said, "Unsinkable, eh? Alright then..."
@@Lau_465 'Correct me if I'm wrong I thought ismay issued an order that they increase speed' As you asked, I will. You are wrong.
Hi there greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 it always the poor people who suffer John Vanharen
I'm from Australia!
So many theories till today. Only those who were there will know the true story. !
Ya pas une version française?
I'm an ignoramus when it comes to sailing/ships/flooding/repair. Are there any Navy personnel or experienced sailors who could answer my question? Would it have been possible to use wooden wedges or anything else, to plug enough of the tear to allow the pumps to keep up and stop it from sinking?
Would that have been possible? I saw where they had carpenters shore a small section. I'm in mid east Indiana USA. Not too many ships in my neighborhood lol.
The road I resided Lansdowne Rd Regents Park Southampton, lost a Fireman from RMS Titanic on that fateful night, he lived at number 15 ..name is documented as lost. I believe the ship sank because the builders were told to use the wrong Rivets..
They choose weak rivets to build with. They were found to contained high concentrates of slag residue which made the metal more brittle also the watertight bulkheads weren't built high enough to keep the ship afloat
Imagine rebuilding this ship in 2024 with the same dimensions same everything except the minor changes taken into account that made Titanic sink other then that same specs same beauty etc
Yet Olympic, built of exactly the same materials, was a successful line for 23 years. Feel free to explain that.

Saw a clip about the Titanic last week that mimic what wouldve happened if she had a head on collision with the iceberg they recon she wouldnt have sunk
Nice docudrama. Filled with distorted half truths though. The coal fire in the bunker of boiler room 5 weakening the hull for example. Makes for good headlines, but that's about it because it just isn't so. Yes, there was a coal fire, but it was put out 4 days before the accident and given that the hull plating was steel and not iron, it made precious little difference to the hull integrity. Aside from the fact that the hull damage only extended a few inches passed the bulkhead into the coal bunker. The walls of the coal bunker was made of thin sheet metal, which was never designed to withstand the pressure of the water that filled the bunker to the top, out of sight of the firemen. The coal bunker collapsing had nothing to do with a "weakened hull". Another falsehood, or misrepresented fact was "a 300 foot long gash in the starboard side". Not true. Yes, the damage extended over 300 feet, but it was small holes torn into the side like morse code over a distance of 300 feet, the biggest about 20 feel in length where hull plates separated. Then the usual point of the ship not having enough life boats. The ship sank in about 2 1/2 hours, which was barely enough time to launch the boats there were. In fact the last boat had to be floated off the boat deck because th bow was under water up to the bridge by the time second officer Lightoller got to it. So any additional boats wouldn't have made any difference. There's more to say, but what's the point. However, the heroics by some of the crew as shown here, are in fact true and should be noted. The engineering staff acted courageously and bravely by doing everything they humanly could to keep the ship afloat as long as possible. An exemplary performance that sadly has been all but forgotten
I'm not saying you're incorrect, but heat absolutely changes the molecular composition of steel. To an equal or greater degree than iron. It increases the hardness of the steel, making it more brittle and prone to fracture. Instead of bending, or warping, steel that's been allowed to get too hot without heat treating / annealing will snap or shatter. This sounds like (potentially) exactly such a case. It would have to be a pretty damn hot fire to do that, but it's well within the realm of possibility.
Nope. It was an accurate representation of the coal fire. They were very common back in those days. All this coal fire theory nonsense was started by a guy trying to sell his book.
@@augoosto11
Nope. Coal fire theory is bullshit. Started by a guy trying to sell his book. Coal fires were nothing more than smoking coals and were very common back then.
Sad
The Almighty shall never be mocked.
Nor was he, where Titanic was concerned.
Not going to watch anything purporting to be historically serious after seeing the subliterate thumbnail.
And more people died when she was build then when she sank
Don't be silly. Eight men died during her construction.
I lost one of my relatives on titanic
You lost one of your relatives on the Titanic ....
No you didn’t
You should go tell the Titanic Historical Society .
The classism of England was VERY reprehensible!!
It's the same today, just hidden better.
🇨🇦🙏🏻🙏🏻🇨🇦
Apparently the coal fire story has been debunked, but it's still fun to imagine it contributing to the sinking.
Apparently saying something has been Apparently debunked, would've been believed by 6 year olds 10 years ago.
Today Apparently doesn't cut it!
It was not "debunked"
Bunker fires before setting off on maiden voyage, is a fact!
You literally have the tools to research this at the touch of your finger tips...
Don't be lazy with "Apparently"
No excuse for that anymore, only exposes stupidity and nievity of you personally.
What if it was really the Olympic, and it broke where the inner damage was from the royal Navy ship? When has any other cruise ship broken half when it sank?
No it's true, so many people knew about it before the Titanic even started it's voyage across the Atlantic. They put that cheap Chinese coal on the ship and that's what happens.
@@Sunflower-ug3eh
It was nothing more than smoking coal and not a raging inferno hot enough to warp metal. All this fire theory bullshit was started by a guy trying to sell his book.
Sacrificed themselves to save the selfish, greedy, self-centered first class
And still to this day the rich, greedy, first class always put themselves first....in my eyes...they have NO CLASS..!!
And a bunch of kids
Just like every young person that ever had to go to war for a corrupt government.Tragic and sad.
I think they were doing it more for their pride in their country and in their jobs and also the pride in their ship for the incredible ship building capabilities that they had of the day when you sign on to a ship like that, it's almost like you marry her. And they're protecting their bride. I can feel the pride when I watch this and if I was one of them. I would protect my ship at all costs even my own life.
Have you ever wondered why JP Morgan never boarded the ship?🧐
😅
