I had the great honour of working as an extra on this iconic docudrama in 2005. Many friends where made, & such fun was had re-enacting the workers who toiled many hours & years in bringing this legend to life. lt's a memorable joy that will stay with me for ever.
@chadstengel9581 What kind of a freak sheep are you lol. Go back to your flat earth videos , or your Paul Mcartney is dead videos, or whatever else you weak minded bizzaros do. This is way above your pay grade. LOL wow
im afraid their are many inaccuracies............lots sensationalized but thats nothing new in so called documentaries........decent production................................to be fair
A documentary about the construction of the most famous passenger ship in history, narrated by an actor who plays one of the primary antagonistic characters in arguably the most successful television series in history, which happened to have been filmed at Titanic production studios' "Paint Hall," located at the same former Belfast Harland & Wolffe shipyards where the Olympic class liners, "Titanic," and, "Olympic," were built. That's about as serendipitous as it gets. (And pretty cool, too. 👍😊)
My Great Grandfather was one of the dock workers at Harland and Wolff who built the Titanic And I was born in Belfast on 1st September 1985 - the very day Ballard rediscovered it
@@bumba6900 It's perfectly possible that someone's great grandfather worked at Harland and Wolff during that time! Thousands of men worked there over the years and they only stopped building ships in 2003. Harland and Wolff was saved from closure last year and is still in operation, though hugely scaled down.
Every since I was a little kid I have always been fascinated with the Titanic. I've watched documentaries, movies time and again and yet there always seems to be more. I'm happy to know of the little known story of the men who built this magnificent legend and feel that it's about time the world learned of them and the sacrifices made by them. Thanks so much for sharing.
What if Titanic did not sink because of collision with iceberg? There are many side-ideas why it sunk. And even if it did or did not it is still unsinkable masterpiece. Either it operates on water or in memories of people.
One of my relatives was an apprentice welder on building the Titanic. I remember my grandmother telling us stories about how you would know the men had changed shifts while building it because early in the mornings you could smell fried breakfasts wafting through the Belfast streets at 3-5am. I remember her house having an outside loo, a tin bath and a mangle out in the small yard as mentioned in the film. The loo had a coal bunker next to it. My brothers would hide their cigarettes underneath the cream wooden panels of the loo. The house had two living rooms, one of which my granny called the scullery. The only hot water came from a gas stove in the kitchen leading out to the yard where the tin bath was, with the mangle next to it for washing clothes. The walls around the yard had broken glass embedded on top of them to prevent burglars climbing in. The house had remained the same way since my grandmother was born on that street in 1900.
I'll have to disagree with you there. True Cameron's movie made the disaster a more universally known chapter in history, but even before the release of his blockbuster I would dare say a majority of the population were familiar with the disaster at sea: that she was said to be the largest, most luxurious ship afloat sailing on her maiden voyage, etc. It's always been such a compelling story, almost tailor made for Hollywood so perfect are the anecdotes and particulars about the whole disaster.
The Titanic Greatest and famous ship in the world a floating palace so tragic and terribly sad God bless all those people who perished and all those people who built the Titanic!😢
Great documentary, just how I like. Recreating that moment, everything just like back in the 1912, makes me go back in time. Very interesting, and well performed. Thank you for uploading it.
I wish that they didn't scrap her sister ship RMS Olympic in 1935. It should have been the #1 ship to save and NOT scrap her as soon as she was done with service.
+O Khan sorry but you're just as fooled as everyone else.. It was the titanic which was scrapped in 1935. The olympic is on the bottom of the atlantic. Look it up. It was a sick fucking insurance scam, nothing else.

Olympic served as an ocean liner until 1935, it was used as a warship in World War 1, it rammed and sank a German U-boat and earned the name "Old reliable"
The "Olympic" earned the nickname of 'Old Reliable" as a troop transport ship Andrew. I really don't know what you are implying about it's sinking a U-boat. The "Olympic" was extensively modified from it's original design before it entered war service with a double hull to protect the coal storage and engine rooms and doubling of hull plating to compensate for the weaknesses discovered while it was in passenger service.
I became a ship builder in the year 2000 and I gotta tell ya, I am lucky enough to be able to say I've worked with some of the toughest & most talented people I've ever met in my life. I can only imagine what it must have been like 100 years ago with zero technology and just as little in the way of labor laws in the shipyards back then. And I love how this documentary wanted to let us know how the riveters were at the top of the pecking order among the trades in those days. It makes a lot of sense both because you can imagine them guys must have been thought as nails and because I'm sure they were subject to higher standards of inspection and workmanship just like welders today compared to other trades.
The scene at 46 minutes was film at the The White Swan Hotel in Alnwick - the restaurant there is fitted with all the first class lounge paneling, lighting and windows from the Olympic. Well worth a visit and the dinner we had there was excellent.

Not really hand built they had machines hammering the rivets they had crains to lift the heavy plates they had a big hydrolic hammer to shape the iron plates that was indoors... the true legend of the handbuilt biggest ship in the world is known as the great eastern. It was built on the beach and drug out to sea by men and muels there where no crains no automatic rivit hammers no huge forge hammer to shape the plates. You should research that build thats the true legend. The reason we dont remember it today is because she didnt serve very long and many children lost their life building it so its not something we need to be proud of. She had a double hull and they sent children inside to assist hammering the rivits because they where small and could fit but some didnt ever make it out 😥
brainwashing detergent well you know what I mean it’s not like today where it’s just done with machines this was a dangerous job and people lost their lives building it and it was a lot of physical labor even with the machines
the true is a litle bit different.....in the bottom of the ocean is olimpic the twin brother of titanic...because the owner know that the day the ship realease was one week after the date to go in america so they colored with new color both ships and the change the names the original ship was destroyed in the same place they build it ...so they destroyed it to hide the evidence that the real ship exist and save the compensations and lies they told the world!!!sorry but this is the True
My grandfathers little brother and his dad died in the waters of the Atlantic that nigh when Titanic sank. In search of a better life in the United States ... it took the rest of the family over 6 weeks before the news of the accident were known to them and over a year more before they finally could say the family members did not survive.
@@theamazingparkerC Sad thing is, he was dragged through the inquiries as he was held as a responsible person for their deaths and the sinking. Don't know what became of him after that.
Yes, he couldn’t have done more to try and get 64. He even had a new design of davit created to fit them all without cluttering the deck. He must’ve been crushed when his fears came true.
If they did have 64 lifeboats, then it would have 47 people per life boat. Instead at 20 lifeboats, it was 150 people per lifeboat. It was truly doomed from the start.
This very video is what started my love for ships, this love has spanned since 2008. It brings me great nostalgia of the weekends that I would spend watching this documentary over again time and time.
This beautiful docudrama - along with 'Saving The Titanic' which was aired in 2012 - is the best telling of the disaster I've ever seen. Far more fascinating than the countless fictional tellings I've ever seen.
This is a fascinating drama documentary that sets the story of Titanic in a wider context. The human tragedy and such stories of personal launch are touching. The world really was a very different place a century ago and yet much is still similar today.
These Olympic class ships were the largest at the time. This introduced a new set of commands! Ships before Titanic had the wheel at the stern of the ship. Moving the helm towards the bow introduced a new set of commands. Namely new commands came into use to control the stern of the ship! This confused the helmsman momentarily.The new commands were hard aaa starboard and hard aaa port in order to port around the iceburge. By the way, the helmsman was the ships quartermaster.
An absolute tragedy. Titanic was only 6 years old when she died, and she took 1,500 people with her. Let us never forget the story of those men, women, and children and the legend of a liner that was taken far too soon. Rest In Peace RMS Titanic.
I've watched this documentary at least 10 times, if not more. I love the story of Titanic, and I have never really seen a documentary that gets really into the people who built her. This documentary is so well done. Very educational. Most of us know the story of her sinking pretty well, but not of what lead up to her being built, what happened during the build. It's all very interesting. Good job on this documentary to the people at discovery channel.
There is a Titanic of this generation. It's called the RMS Queen Mary 2. It's run by the Cunard Line, which merged with the White Star Line. The RMS Queen Mary 2 has White Star food menu, named after the white star line, which owned the RMS Titanic.
This is very entertaining. I have always been fascinated with Titanic. I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience involving that ship. A set of Titanic’s Whistles were recovered from the ocean floor in 1993. Some friends gave us tickets to the Titanic Exhibit back in February 1999 in St. Paul, Minnesota. All the artifacts and the “Big Piece” were awesome to see. They expected about 2 thousand to be at the Whistle Blowing Ceremony, but it was standing room only as far as the eye could see and it was established that over 10 thousand witnessed the first time in 87 years that the voice of Titanic was heard once again in public. They got such an awesome response from the crowd that they blew them a second time. They said that they would never be blown ever again. I felt so honored to witness history.
The ship was lucky Thomas Andrews and the guarantee group was on board. The disaster could’ve been much worse. Thomas Andrews calculated how long the ship would last, informing the Captain and his crew the clock was ticking. Artie Frost and his team were last seen heading to the engine room, keeping the lights on during the evacuation.
Or it could have been much better if they had just known what to do from the start, *perhaps you shouldn't slow down the ship's turning speed when there's a massive iceberg right in front of you*
The real credit goes to that group with the rest of the engineering crew. They ran pumps to keep her trim and afloat for probably an hour longer than without.
Thanks for putting this up. I remember having this documentary on VHS back then, so it's nice to finally watch it again after all this time. And damn, it's Charles Dance!
The builders, designers and engineers never called the Titanic "unsinkable". That connotation was essentially something the media created when they pestered those in charge about the safety of the ship. At some point someone probably said "She's very unlikely to sink in the case of an accident" and the media spun it into "Titanic - the unsinkable ship". Journalists... The problem was in that fateful night that the passangers were quite happy to believe the stories while those fully aware of the situation knew better. Hundreds of people never truly bothered with leaving the ship until it was too late, prefering the warm, dry and "safe" luxury liner over a cold, cramped and wet lifeboat.
@@Luke-cj8qz And the White Star Line, unsurprisingly, never put any effort into correcting that statement. It was basically free advertising and the collision of the Titanic's sistership with a military vessel showed how well built these ships were.
Thank you so much for this marvelous production on the creation of RMS Titanic, our "Ship Of Dreams"! Very well done! I really appreciate all those actors who portrayed the executive, the engineers, the many workers, and the story of Harland and Wolfe's amazing achievements! This production is the best telling of RMS Titanic's legacy that I have ever watched! God Bless all those souls who worked so hard to build our Ship of Dreams, and lost their lives, in her sacrifice to the sea, going down in history as one the most traumatic and memorable events in modern history.

That's about as serendipitous as it gets. (And pretty cool, too. 👍😊)
I first watched this documentary when I was 9, that was 9 years ago, I’ve watched this documentary at least 3 times every year since then, this is my favorite documentary ever.
Excellent video production. It allowed me to understand things I never could. I always asked myself how a magnificent ship like that could be left aside, and this film explained it to me: because of all the suffering around it. If I understand right, there was one main thing that was wrong around the ship itself and it was the fact that it was NOT meant to be fast, but "gloriuos" (prestige). The wrongs that caused the whole creation and success of the ship to fail, as the film shows were: 1. Many minds that participated but disagreed. 2. Wrong priorities: Money. 3. Haughtiness. I believe strongly in a Titanic 2, a magnificent ship that enjoys herself without being distracted by competition, about the size, speed, capacity or purpose of other ships. It is, it shines, it fullfills its purpose: beauty, pleasure, luxury, but not vanity. Why should something that existed be called legend, because of things beyond itself that prevented it from being everything she was meant to be? To the workers: This film shows that they are as much worthy of the glory as those who designed it. Dignity and decency are part of the glory, as is faithfulness.
I'm not an engineer, so this might only be a layman's fascination, but I find it amazing how they were able to machine parts like those of the engines, for example, to such precision around 1910.
ROKAS123 Gaming all that work ended up creating the most famous ship in the world, a ship that a century later people would see in full color and know the ins and out of. A ship that sets the stage for a record breaking blockbuster movie.
I have to admit, I had never seen this production until tonight. I was quite fascinated by the story lines that I had never heard before, about the men that literally bled for this shipbuilder and the ship that would emerge from their work. We often get pulled into a narrative that Hollywood wants to portray and there was way much more to the 1958 "A Night To Remember" and 1996 "Titanic". There were real people behind building this ship, people that died during it's construction that were struggling to get by and make an eager living. Very ironic that the ship that they built, that many of the deaths of over 1500 souls, the vast majority would be steerage passengers. I just find that so ironic. Those that worked the shipyard that were looked down upon, were also looked down upon by those in charge while underway. The ruling class directly affecting the lives of those less fortunate in the end.
I’ve been looking for something about the shipbuilders and what they went through and how they felt about losing the titanic, so thank you for posting this
Even though the blockbuster hit Titanic movie shouldn't be ignored though it glorifies the tragedy, that movie did give a need to create this detailed documentaries showing us the untold history of the Titanic and how it was built. To me there is so much more to this ship than what James Cameron's movie makes it to be. Most people I ask about the ship only think of a love story, but we should remember it's an actual tragedy due to poor, hasty decisions all in the name of competition.
And the worst decision maker--Bruce Ismay--survived the sinking, limited payouts to survivors and families of decedents, and never was held accountable for anything.
@@scottmccann3946 Hate to say this but *none* of the Olympic Class liners would have had a very long time in the limelight. Bigger, faster, technically superior and more luxurious ocean liners were being planned even before the Olympic sailed. The golden age of the ocean liners was the 1920's and 1930's in particular. The old coal burning steam ships were immediately outdated once the motor ships arrived.
I believe the only Titanic doc ive teared up over at the end. This put personalities to people too often forgotten in the history of the titanic failure. The men who built her! Through no fault of themselves, but through the arrogance of the ones whe really cashed in
Honestly, I think focus should've been on Olympic. She was the namesake of the class, the one that got the most fame and publicity. Titanic only got more famous than her sister for sinking. Olympic shared the same 'Unsinkable' subtitle until April 1912. I'm sorry, as must as I am interested in Titanic's sinking, I'm more than fascinated by Olympic's long and dramatic career.
iViking then you will be interested to find out a new discovery that was made about the Titanic's dining room versus that of Olympic's. It was discovered recently by the folks who are building Titanic: Honor and Glory game. You can find their video on this topic. They submitted their discovery to a couple of TITANIC historians who verified the discovery as credible. Until now, people assumed the dining room had arches like that of the Olympic's. But now we know that it didn't. The historian proposes that the White Star Line did not like the arch design on the Olympic and it was changed for the Titanic. The end result is, indeed, better. We don't have clear picture of the new design (hence why it was only discovered now), but the RUclips video will give you a 3D render of the dining room from the game. You might find the video fascinating.
It is amazing to think that human being were able to create such beauty, from her boilers, propellers, all the machinery to her graceful and beautiful lines, her funnels and not to forget the beautiful interiors and all the small details that were thought of. An idea was born in 1907 and thousands took part to make it a reality.
I find funny seeing a portrayal of Bruce Ismay looking at a Titanic model in 1908 when Titanic was suposed to be identical in every way to Olympic wich was still under construction.. after Olympic launched in 1909 and began service they spoted some small trouble wich was introduced on Titanic as she was being built.. like covering the first half of the B deck with windows instead of opened... also C deck wall more forward to protect from splashback from waves.. also the covering of front half of B deck made them increase the size of first class cabins.. all of that extra steel made Titanic 1500tons heavier than Olympic but still exact same size. The biggest was Britannic wich was still being built when Titanic sank and she was made a bit wider to install a double hull and also carrier bigger davis for extra life boats and a reworked aft castle.. after Titanic dissaster Olympic underwent a safety refit wich consisted in a double hull, raising of bulkheads up to B deck and added more than twice lifeboats than before.. after this refit she was even heavier than Titanic.. the model Ismay is looking at in 1908 has the forward B deck covered in windows (larger 1st class cabins) and the longer C deck covering ... both modifications designed AFTER Olympic was in service after 1909... try harder... Titanic was not the only of her class
Also, the first drawings az 5:02 should have been with four masts and a lot of boats. www.titanic-whitestarships.com/NYTimes%201908%20-1000%20ft%20ship%20ad-c.bmp Despite of those, this documentary is quite good (comparing to others)
I had the great honour of working as an extra on this iconic docudrama in 2005. Many friends where made, & such fun was had re-enacting the workers who toiled many hours & years in bringing this legend to life. lt's a memorable joy that will stay with me for ever.

I was an extra building the original.
How big was titanic in person? Wow I am.excited for you..

This by far is one of the best documentaries ever on the history of Titanic. 5 years to build. 2 hours to sink. My heart goes to all who died.
The Cat. Yup
What year they started building Titanic.
Wasn't it 3 years? ._.
Britannic sank even faster in less than 1 hour

Actual before the 1997 titanic movie the titanic wasnt well known at all
not true. over 6 major films, one of them a Hollywood blockbuster (titanic 1953) were made before

That's Charles Dance narrating. He really knows how tell a great story and this on Titanic worked perfectly.

Men who worked with their hands proudly displayed their work on Sunday's to their families nowadays men are shamed for manual labor. Sad
Very true.
I take my wife around on saturdays to show her the landscaping we did during the week.
AND WOMEN!
This is one of the stupidest sentences I have ever read. They also head ridiculously unsafe working conditions and child labor.

It's crazy how people hand built this it's amazing
Yaboi Sugarnips People still partially hand build it today, sure theres better tools and better material.

Yeah it got me crying too 😭😭
another sad story is that of Frederick Fleet, the lookout man who spotted the iceberg.

the true is a litle bit different.....in the bottom of the ocean is olimpic the twin brother of titanic...because the owner know that the day the ship realease was one week after the date to go in america so they colored with new color both ships and the change the names the original ship was destroyed in the same place they build it ...so they destroyed it to hide the evidence that the real ship exist and save the compensations and lies they told the world!!!sorry but this is the True
can i speak about how phenomenal this soundtrack is ? it made me emotional in a few scenes
Amazing story told in such a way that my students felt that they were among the men building this phenomenon. Great video!
My grandfathers little brother and his dad died in the waters of the Atlantic that nigh when Titanic sank. In search of a better life in the United States ... it took the rest of the family over 6 weeks before the news of the accident were known to them and over a year more before they finally could say the family members did not survive.
I don’t know why 🇺🇸 sucks sad story though
If only they listened to Alexander about Lifeboats :(
If only indeed.
Yes. It was sad seeing Alexander fighting for lifeboats and denied. Props to him.
@@theamazingparkerC Sad thing is, he was dragged through the inquiries as he was held as a responsible person for their deaths and the sinking. Don't know what became of him after that.
Yes, he couldn’t have done more to try and get 64. He even had a new design of davit created to fit them all without cluttering the deck. He must’ve been crushed when his fears came true.
If they did have 64 lifeboats, then it would have 47 people per life boat. Instead at 20 lifeboats, it was 150 people per lifeboat. It was truly doomed from the start.
This very video is what started my love for ships, this love has spanned since 2008. It brings me great nostalgia of the weekends that I would spend watching this documentary over again time and time.
People were TRUE craftsmen. Even the rivet workers. 2 million, most of them hand hammered. MUCH RESPECT to those men.
It wasen't just Carlisle who wanted to have lifeboats to everyone, Thomas Andrew wanted that to but he didn't get that.
It was arranged for the California to come and help them but they didn't.
This beautiful docudrama - along with 'Saving The Titanic' which was aired in 2012 - is the best telling of the disaster I've ever seen. Far more fascinating than the countless fictional tellings I've ever seen.
This is a fascinating drama documentary that sets the story of Titanic in a wider context. The human tragedy and such stories of personal launch are touching. The world really was a very different place a century ago and yet much is still similar today.
Without doubt one of the best documentaries.
Titanic elegance, luxurious, beautiful design, masterpiece. unlike the huge bathtubs with windows that we have today
i like the titanic
this documentary film is very good :)
These Olympic class ships were the largest at the time. This introduced a new set of commands! Ships before Titanic had the wheel at the stern of the ship. Moving the helm towards the bow introduced a new set of commands. Namely new commands came into use to control the stern of the ship! This confused the helmsman momentarily.The new commands were hard aaa starboard and hard aaa port in order to port around the iceburge. By the way, the helmsman was the ships quartermaster.
Lol
Yep
An absolute tragedy. Titanic was only 6 years old when she died, and she took 1,500 people with her. Let us never forget the story of those men, women, and children and the legend of a liner that was taken far too soon. Rest In Peace RMS Titanic.
@RomaniaBallMapper
I was counting from keel laying to sinking
Still not accurate
@zachboyd4749 LOL. You can only count from the moment she started functioning as an ocean liner, as that's what she was.
i used to be fascinated with the titanic, i always would read and watch anything to do with it

Thank you for sharing this documentary.
I've watched this documentary at least 10 times, if not more. I love the story of Titanic, and I have never really seen a documentary that gets really into the people who built her. This documentary is so well done. Very educational. Most of us know the story of her sinking pretty well, but not of what lead up to her being built, what happened during the build. It's all very interesting. Good job on this documentary to the people at discovery channel.
in 1958 There was a movie named a night to remember has anyone watched it?
aye
Yep.
Yepper. Oh, I've already answered this question and it won't let me delete! But, yeah I watched it...much later than '58 though. ;-)
yes
Yes i have. The ice berg scene feelt some more realistic in my option. The movie should be here on youtube still i belive.
Charles Dance makes an excellent narrator.
When u watch a titanic building video and poeple died and you comment this be like: 😑😶🕺🕺
Appreciate all the hard work and research that went into making this remarkable film. Thank you for the background information.
This was excellent. One if the best documentary films I’ve seen
I hope they DO rebuild the Titanic 2 as a museum or just a place for Tourist to walk around. This would be a nice History :)
+Hugo Cortes They already making Titanic 2 will launch in 2018!
There is a Titanic of this generation. It's called the RMS Queen Mary 2. It's run by the Cunard Line, which merged with the White Star Line. The RMS Queen Mary 2 has White Star food menu, named after the white star line, which owned the RMS Titanic.
@@nlikos180 its 2019 nowhere any titanic
@@eliasboo May 2019. Still no Titanic
It certainly is a boat worthy of being rebuilt!
This is very entertaining. I have always been fascinated with Titanic. I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience involving that ship. A set of Titanic’s Whistles were recovered from the ocean floor in 1993. Some friends gave us tickets to the Titanic Exhibit back in February 1999 in St. Paul, Minnesota. All the artifacts and the “Big Piece” were awesome to see. They expected about 2 thousand to be at the Whistle Blowing Ceremony, but it was standing room only as far as the eye could see and it was established that over 10 thousand witnessed the first time in 87 years that the voice of Titanic was heard once again in public. They got such an awesome response from the crowd that they blew them a second time. They said that they would never be blown ever again. I felt so honored to witness history.
Thank you for posting this.
You are very welcomed. :D
The ship was lucky Thomas Andrews and the guarantee group was on board. The disaster could’ve been much worse.
Thomas Andrews calculated how long the ship would last, informing the Captain and his crew the clock was ticking. Artie Frost and his team were last seen heading to the engine room, keeping the lights on during the evacuation.
Or it could have been much better if they had just known what to do from the start, *perhaps you shouldn't slow down the ship's turning speed when there's a massive iceberg right in front of you*
Sami 👍
@@hyljix Spotted too late to turn safely. The arrogance of man at it's finest, and it's consequence.
The real credit goes to that group with the rest of the engineering crew. They ran pumps to keep her trim and afloat for probably an hour longer than without.
@@hyljix Or just had the balls to ram the thing instead of cutting the _Titanic's_ side open.
My heart goes to the production team of this documentary. Nicely done. very touching,
God I remember watching this when it first came out! Man time flies by.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank You for sharing.
Thanks for putting this up. I remember having this documentary on VHS back then, so it's nice to finally watch it again after all this time. And damn, it's Charles Dance!
How can you have the heart to dislike this. This movie is a masterpiece
There's something about the titanic.. it's so tragic, yet it's magical!

A great video. Thank you for posting.
Great documentary. A fitting tribute to the skill and committment of the men of Belfast - and, of course, a warning to us all.
This is one of the best documentaries I’ve watched on the titanic. Much learned thank you to all that made it. Very educational.
This was nice. Nice to actually see the everyday life of the workers and constructures😊
The builders, designers and engineers never called the Titanic "unsinkable". That connotation was essentially something the media created when they pestered those in charge about the safety of the ship. At some point someone probably said "She's very unlikely to sink in the case of an accident" and the media spun it into "Titanic - the unsinkable ship". Journalists...
The problem was in that fateful night that the passangers were quite happy to believe the stories while those fully aware of the situation knew better. Hundreds of people never truly bothered with leaving the ship until it was too late, prefering the warm, dry and "safe" luxury liner over a cold, cramped and wet lifeboat.
Corristo89 ‘practically unsinkable’ was the term used by the Shipbuilding magazine in 1911/1912 but the word practically was ignored.
@@Luke-cj8qz And the White Star Line, unsurprisingly, never put any effort into correcting that statement. It was basically free advertising and the collision of the Titanic's sistership with a military vessel showed how well built these ships were.
@@Corristo89 In White Star's defense, it took a remarkable amount of human error to sink the _Titanic._
Thank you so much for this marvelous production on the creation of RMS Titanic, our "Ship Of Dreams"! Very well done! I really appreciate all those actors who portrayed the executive, the engineers, the many workers, and the story of Harland and Wolfe's amazing achievements! This production is the best telling of RMS Titanic's legacy that I have ever watched! God Bless all those souls who worked so hard to build our Ship of Dreams, and lost their lives, in her sacrifice to the sea, going down in history as one the most traumatic and memorable events in modern history.
May those workers rest in peace
A documentary about the construction of the most famous passenger ship in history, narrated by an actor who plays one of the primary antagonistic characters in arguably the most successful television series in history, which happened to have been filmed at Titanic production studios' "Paint Hall," located at the same former Belfast Harland & Wolffe shipyards where the Olympic class liners, "Titanic," and, "Olympic," were built.
That's about as serendipitous as it gets.
(And pretty cool, too. 👍😊)
I first watched this documentary when I was 9, that was 9 years ago, I’ve watched this documentary at least 3 times every year since then, this is my favorite documentary ever.
I really appreciate this movie.it gives you even more insite to a great ship.just lots of poor judgement on it's sailing.thanks
*May 31st*
Was when the legend was born!
A part of the Titanic story I'd never heard before... Well worth watching
Narrated by Tywin Lannister himself, top notch production!
Excellent video production. It allowed me to understand things I never could. I always asked myself how a magnificent ship like that could be left aside, and this film explained it to me: because of all the suffering around it. If I understand right, there was one main thing that was wrong around the ship itself and it was the fact that it was NOT meant to be fast, but "gloriuos" (prestige). The wrongs that caused the whole creation and success of the ship to fail, as the film shows were: 1. Many minds that participated but disagreed. 2. Wrong priorities: Money. 3. Haughtiness.
I believe strongly in a Titanic 2, a magnificent ship that enjoys herself without being distracted by competition, about the size, speed, capacity or purpose of other ships. It is, it shines, it fullfills its purpose: beauty, pleasure, luxury, but not vanity. Why should something that existed be called legend, because of things beyond itself that prevented it from being everything she was meant to be?
To the workers: This film shows that they are as much worthy of the glory as those who designed it. Dignity and decency are part of the glory, as is faithfulness.
I'm not an engineer, so this might only be a layman's fascination, but I find it amazing how they were able to machine parts like those of the engines, for example, to such precision around 1910.
Tywin Lanister makes a great narrator.
His name is Charles dance

how sad that this men built her with their bare hands just to be their metal coffin
Just to be their metal coffin? What do you intent to say?

ROKAS123 Gaming all that work ended up creating the most famous ship in the world, a ship that a century later people would see in full color and know the ins and out of. A ship that sets the stage for a record breaking blockbuster movie.

I have to admit, I had never seen this production until tonight. I was quite fascinated by the story lines that I had never heard before, about the men that literally bled for this shipbuilder and the ship that would emerge from their work. We often get pulled into a narrative that Hollywood wants to portray and there was way much more to the 1958 "A Night To Remember" and 1996 "Titanic". There were real people behind building this ship, people that died during it's construction that were struggling to get by and make an eager living. Very ironic that the ship that they built, that many of the deaths of over 1500 souls, the vast majority would be steerage passengers. I just find that so ironic. Those that worked the shipyard that were looked down upon, were also looked down upon by those in charge while underway. The ruling class directly affecting the lives of those less fortunate in the end.
Excellent presentation, 'Thanks' for sharing.
Interesting documentary i just learned a lot more
I’ve been looking for something about the shipbuilders and what they went through and how they felt about losing the titanic, so thank you for posting this
Even though the blockbuster hit Titanic movie shouldn't be ignored though it glorifies the tragedy, that movie did give a need to create this detailed documentaries showing us the untold history of the Titanic and how it was built. To me there is so much more to this ship than what James Cameron's movie makes it to be. Most people I ask about the ship only think of a love story, but we should remember it's an actual tragedy due to poor, hasty decisions all in the name of competition.
And the worst decision maker--Bruce Ismay--survived the sinking, limited payouts to survivors and families of decedents, and never was held accountable for anything.
Oylmpic will be the ship that everyone talks about
Sure it was
knight gaurd It even got the nickname "The Old Reliable" ;)

Knightguard1 To be fair, if Titanic and Brittanic never sank, she would have been the one talked about.
@@scottmccann3946 *Britannic
@@scottmccann3946 Hate to say this but *none* of the Olympic Class liners would have had a very long time in the limelight. Bigger, faster, technically superior and more luxurious ocean liners were being planned even before the Olympic sailed. The golden age of the ocean liners was the 1920's and 1930's in particular. The old coal burning steam ships were immediately outdated once the motor ships arrived.
A magnificent tour de force, this film. Really well done--and thank you!
I should be doing my homework 📚 but here I am watching this fascinating documentary to distract me 😂
It is technically homework for history.

May everyone who died on titanic RIP.😢

Such a sad sad way to be proven right! If he hadn't walked from the job he may have been on that voyage, and as such two men he knew died on her!
You're kidding? He handed over the reins to Thomas Andrews, who perished in the sinking. Carlisle was devastated by the whole thing.
Honestly, I think focus should've been on Olympic. She was the namesake of the class, the one that got the most fame and publicity. Titanic only got more famous than her sister for sinking. Olympic shared the same 'Unsinkable' subtitle until April 1912. I'm sorry, as must as I am interested in Titanic's sinking, I'm more than fascinated by Olympic's long and dramatic career.
iViking then you will be interested to find out a new discovery that was made about the Titanic's dining room versus that of Olympic's. It was discovered recently by the folks who are building Titanic: Honor and Glory game. You can find their video on this topic. They submitted their discovery to a couple of TITANIC historians who verified the discovery as credible. Until now, people assumed the dining room had arches like that of the Olympic's. But now we know that it didn't. The historian proposes that the White Star Line did not like the arch design on the Olympic and it was changed for the Titanic. The end result is, indeed, better. We don't have clear picture of the new design (hence why it was only discovered now), but the RUclips video will give you a 3D render of the dining room from the game. You might find the video fascinating.
but... focus was on the Olympic, she was the ship that everyone was talking about at this time. Titanic was the second...
It is amazing to think that human being were able to create such beauty, from her boilers, propellers, all the machinery to her graceful and beautiful lines, her funnels and not to forget the beautiful interiors and all the small details that were thought of. An idea was born in 1907 and thousands took part to make it a reality.
Must have felt like a total waste after titanic sank
All that work down the drain
I find funny seeing a portrayal of Bruce Ismay looking at a Titanic model in 1908 when Titanic was suposed to be identical in every way to Olympic wich was still under construction.. after Olympic launched in 1909 and began service they spoted some small trouble wich was introduced on Titanic as she was being built.. like covering the first half of the B deck with windows instead of opened... also C deck wall more forward to protect from splashback from waves.. also the covering of front half of B deck made them increase the size of first class cabins.. all of that extra steel made Titanic 1500tons heavier than Olympic but still exact same size.
The biggest was Britannic wich was still being built when Titanic sank and she was made a bit wider to install a double hull and also carrier bigger davis for extra life boats and a reworked aft castle.. after Titanic dissaster Olympic underwent a safety refit wich consisted in a double hull, raising of bulkheads up to B deck and added more than twice lifeboats than before.. after this refit she was even heavier than Titanic..
the model Ismay is looking at in 1908 has the forward B deck covered in windows (larger 1st class cabins) and the longer C deck covering ... both modifications designed AFTER Olympic was in service after 1909...
try harder... Titanic was not the only of her class
Also, the first drawings az 5:02 should have been with four masts and a lot of boats.

you are wrong, they covered A deck, but cabins were added on B deck because they deleted the promenade on this deck.
What an amazing production. I feel like i've been transported back in time.
