No matter the number of years, my heart aches for all these people, the fear they must have felt. Especially for the children And to think that of all the mistakes, the worse being the lack of life boats.

Great documentary. You cannot beat the survivors' own testimony to make it so personal, moving and human an experience. Nicely acted out and put together.

Violet Jessop has earned the nickname "Miss Unsinkable " due to the fact that she worked on and survived the disasters of all three of the *Olympic class* steamers. She was working aboard The Olympic when it collided with the H.M.S Hawke and limped back to port after it was damaged. Then as recounted in this video she was working aboard The Olympic's sister ship Titanic and survived when it sank. Then she worked as a nurse on the last sister The Britannic during WWI when it ran into a mine that had been planted by a German U-boat and sank, she survived by jumping overboard.
It's obvious Violet Jessop was a master saboteur of the first order. Whatever her motivation was she kept secret with her all the way to her grave. Just kidding!
Daniel Hamilton..yes, and she ended up with a fractured skull, broken ribs etc, but that life boat being sucked into the propellers is what saved her life they say
Of course, Margaret Brown was referred to as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown". That's all well and good but I think she kind of ruined it by stating she was unsinkable because her "ass was made out of cork". I'm certain Miss Jessop would never had made such a claim.
Today it's been 107years since the Titanic sank on April 14,1912. Tonight at 11:40pm is when it hit the iceberg.... R.I.P to all of the lives lost 107years ago 😢
Charles Dance such a good narrator when you see it played out like this really makes you feel what it must have been like I cry every time Benji Stark looks good at the end
Umm yes she did. The Carpathia was downstream of the current. Titanic's engines were off and she was drifting on the Labrador current, back towards Europe. The Carpathia actually had to chase down the lifeboats one by one as they were drifting away from her. That's one of the reasons the rescue took so long. If Titanic was in a strong channel of the Labrador, by the time she actually went down, she might have been a dozen additional miles further east and away from help. Do some math with me. Carpathia was 58 miles away from Titanic when this began. She was doing 18 nautical MPH. If all positions were static relative to each other it should have taken 3 hours to intercept Titanic. It took nearly 5 to reach the first lifeboat. It was the light of morning by the time the last ones were recovered. Now why was that? It was because Carpathian had to outrun the current to bring them to safety, resulting in a traverse of far more than 58 miles.
If the wireless operator had been nicer to the guy on the Carpathia they might have heard the sos signal sooner . The Carpathia guy went to bed instead of staying up alerting more ships about ice . If the Titanics operator had been nicer he might have stayed up later . Just goes to show how being rude doesn't help any one .
Pystryker staff is correct -- Carpathia was roughly 50 - 60 Naut Miles from Titanic when she received the distress call. Carpathia's max cruising speed was 14 knots (basically 14 mph) and eventhough she steamed with her engines at 110% towards Titanic, she still only averaged 17 knots/hr. With a closing speed of 17 knots x 3.5 hrs to intercept = 59 nautical miles of travel...if she was 300 naut miles away...Carpathia wouldn't have arrived until 5:30 PM (17.5 hrs approx to intercept)
In contrast...RMS Californian was only about 10 nautical miles away. We know this because both ships were visible to each other. Due to the curvature of the Earth, an observer sailing on open ocean cannot see anything farther than 12 nautical miles away -- anything farther than that is below the observer's horizon and is completely invisible to that observer. Since both ships were visible to each other, Californian could not have been greater than 12 miles from Titanic at the time of the sinking.
that music playing in the end gripped me.... this was a disaster that should never have happened.....but thanks to Titanic, she made ships more safer and safety at sea was taken more seriously.... so in a way, we own that former great ship everything.
Screw the ship, if a debt is owed it is to the 1500 souls that perished in such frightening and horrific ways. I don't understand the nostalgia for what is now just an underwater mass grave. The world would be better if the Titanic never existed. Can you imagine telling the survivors and tens of thousands of mourning loved ones how "great" the Titanic is?
Time changes things and she's seen as much older than she is already because of its fame,it's like looking back hundreds of years in its value even though it was only 106 years ago it already has historic value because of the story
I thought this was put together pretty well. Sure, it wasn't a high budget film but as a person who has watched everything about Titanic I could find on You Tube, I appreciated how this was done. Thank you for uploading!
its so ironic that the ship that nearly hit the Titanic as she was leaving the land. it seems to me that she was trying to stop the Titanic and the most chilling thing is that Her name was New York. Where was Titanic heading? to New York City. its like the ship was trying to say your not going to make it...
LittleLulubee There is a thing called hope,.Hope for a better out come, for the people on that ship, nobody wanted to die. and there loved ones didn’t want to lose them. The way you tell it, there was no hope for the people on that boat? ! If it was as bad as your saying with the icebergs, then the Titanic should of postponed the trip, until it was safe, none of the families received any settlement, for their deaths. Seems like the shipping company was responsible for there deaths, recklessly sailing off when it wasn’t safe. Just like for airlines, they pay to the families. When it’s the airlines fault, even when it’s not. The blue star Company, was reckless and at fault, and many mistakes made. That led to the many deaths Nobody was held responsible. There money should of been returned. To there families. Talk about greed
27:20 "When I first saw and realized that every lifeboat had left the ship; the sensation felt was... not an agreeable one." They were made of iron back then.
They're all great actors, but I think "Mr. Lightoller" is enjoying his part, just a little bit more than the others. And saying these lines while dressed in the clothes of the time would be quite an experience, I'm sure!
Considering this is being recounted by there relatives it must be so hard for there loved ones some of whom probably didn’t know them but obviously have been told about them since they were old enough and seen video interviews of there recounts of the disaster in 1912 .
Violet Jesop worked on all three of the White Star, Olympic Class Ships, RMS Olympic RMS Titanic and (RMS)HMHS Britannic, She was on Board the HMHS Britannic when it struck a sea mine laid by the Submarine U 73 in 1916 ,
Titanic sank on my Grandmother’s 8th birthday. And I’m a grandmother myself. Family convinced Grandma to fly but she always said large ships frightened her as she had heard stories all her life, so much so she never learned to swim!
I can actually see the main Titanic cemetery from my living room window and even the infamous "J Dawson" grave stone. There are some personal Titanic videos on my channel if anyone cares to see them.
Many ships sent warnings of ice bergs... Captain Smith knew they were out there... but just assumed that the look outs would see them in time... but the ocean was calm... no moonlight.. and the look outs had no binoculars... it was also very difficult to see where the horizon met the ocean.. due to cold weather mirage...The captain. Was just complacent! He had never dealt with any disaster in his career. He thought he. Never would. He was over Confident!
Hazel Walsh He supports the same attitude after he commanded the liner 'Adriatic' on her maiden voyage several years before when he told reporters he couldn't imagine anything happening to the ship because modern shipbuilding had gone beyond the concept of disaster. The seeds of overconfidence were being planted, one could say.

James Cameron's Titanic changed what kind of visual Titanic film audiences could see, He did that by making a 100% accurately built Titanic movie set and the ship braking into in two pieces which needed to be in movie for accuracy and it portrayed this historic world event better than any other Titanic movie had done before in a visual sense of course.
There's no consensus that the Titanic broke up on the surface. There's a school of thought that Titanic merely fractured on the surface and finished breaking up on the way down
I've never cared for the cliched love story. It interfered with the historical aspect of the movie. I watch the movie to see the ship, pure and simple.
This is the second Titanic documentary I've seen narrated by Charles Dance. One of the primary antagonists in arguably the most successful television series in history, narrating a documentary program about the world's most well-known and famous ship, (and shipwreck,) in history. The television series also happened to have been filmed in the former paint hall at the Harland & Wolffe shipyards where the Titanic, (and her sister ship, the Olympic,) was built, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, now known as, "Titanic Studios." Coincidence?!?! (I think not.👍😊)
@Railfan 765 The actual number is unknown. It could be between 1400-1650... due to undocumented passengers and stow-aways we may never know the true number of souls lost.
There was many accounts of survivors remembering smelling a damp cave like smell just before and during the time of the collision. It is said that you could smell an iceberg.
Lord Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, and Hand of the King, here to narrarate a story about the Titanic. Enjoy!!
+Andreas Olsen Watch a video called Drain the Titaninc (2015)... The title sounds dumb but it's very interesting... Some new theories about the sinking suggest it may not have broke completely in two until about half way down.... Which could explain why the world thought it was in one piece until it was found in 1985.... There is just no way to know for sure... It was a long time ago, and even then stories differed depending on vantage points...
+RMS Titanic 1912-2016 yes I probably watched the same vids.... some say it did some say it didn't.... Maybe it started to, but not completely... Nothing under the water could be seen... and when the lights went out it would have been pitch blackness with only stars for lights... We all know it did, it's just a matter of when and how... What survivors could have seen is the funnels falling forward when they came off maybe giving the appearance that the ship was breaking up, then again, maybe it was.......idk....
I think the ship split on the surface but she fully came apart nearer the ocean floor, the derbis field tells the story how everything came to be in the place where the bow and stern came to rest.
Myyyeah...funny how everyone and their granny seems to have these so called "premonitions" in the days before events of great tragedy and the like. I mean it's of course total bullshit, but whatever helps one cope I guess.
I like the guy who said.. "if we have to die, then we will die like gentleman." Had to have been the most dignified person on that ship that night. And i hate to say it but.. i bet there's very few if any people like that on this planet anymore. It's a damn shame! He also said.. "i just cannot see taking a spot in a lifeboat that could be used for a woman or child.. that just wouldn't be right." And he was right!! Die like gentleman, instead of panicking.. he just accepted it.
@@shana4806 That's right. He narrated an excellent documentary about the construction of the Titanic called 'Titanic: Birth Of A Legend' some years back. I wonder if Charles Dance is a bit of a Titanic enthusiast?
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for posting! It's really mind boggling when you think about the many maritime laws enforced as a result of Titanic's sinking. I mean, there wasn't a PA system or any way of sharing info with passengers. They never realized the danger they were in until it was too late. In another documentary, they acted out how long it took the crew to load & lower the lifeboats. At least 20-30 mins a piece! It's amazing that they were able to launch as many as they did. RIP to them all. Survivors & non survivors alike. ❤️
I don’t understand how they could get certain details so wrong in a professional production like this, but they do. The most glaring example is saying the Carpathia steamed THREE HUNDRED MILES to reach Titanic’s wreck site. The distance was actually around 55 miles and Carpathia covered it in around 3.5 hours. To cover 300 n.mi. in that time Carpathia would have needed to travel at over 80 knots, that’s somewhere around 90 mph. Surely you’d have thought they’d catch that glaring issue in editing!
Because too many people THINK they know what they are talking about because they looked at one side of the story and figure it was all like that. This is why I hate a thousand people recovering that same story.. they butcher it. You know.. like whispering a sentence around a campfire.. and by the time it gets back around to you it's a completely different sentence!!! There's way too much of that crap anymore. And it's impossible to correct them all. This is
When they said the R.M.S. Carpathia Owned By The Cunard line Ship Traveled Over 300 Miles From Where It Was To Help Rescue The Titanic … But actual history and proof is that the R.M.S. Carpathia Travrled Less Then 60 Miles at a speed of 17 knots that’s Aprox 19 mph so that’s less then 5 hours and that’s what it took !!!!
Scott S Oh, okay. Someone thought that the Narrator of this Documentary was Charles Dance, who was one of the actors to portray The Phantom of The Opera. But, thanks for the info.
Lightoller maintained it didn't and this show is from their words. We know in the real world it did indeed break, but the official inquiry concluded intact sinking and the show is playing off what the inquiry was like.
It took me 3 days to watch this video. It's still the greatest recorded maritime tragedy of all times. Thank God international maritime laws have been passed and followed to ensure this magnitude of loss never occurs again. The message for all of us, is that only God is unsinkable. Only God is unstoppable, only God can guarantee our survival in times of trial. I hope that the families of those who lost their lives found peace.
And the band played on...to the end. Such men outside the military and first responders are hard to find these days. So many factors if just one would change, this disaster may have been prevented. Hindsight is 20/20, won’t second guess the decisions of those in the crisis
Oh my lord!! Now they're claiming 1500 bodies were recovered. It was slightly more than 300. Those who were recognizable and might be identified were embalmed on board and taken to Halifax, including J. J. Astor. Those who weren't were searched for identifiable artifacts like watches glasses, letters, etc. which were carefully preserved to take back to Halifax and the bodies then buried at sea. All others presumed to have been sunk with Titanic or carried away on the Labrador current further south. The vast majority of bodies were never recovered.
So so sad.. not sure if this is true but in a documentary I watched a while ago, they said the Titanic received many SOS calls regarding the ice bergs but the people taking the calls were told to focus on getting the first class passenger messages as first priority so they ignored the warnings. The doc also said the owner of the ship wanted to make headlines if they were able to get to New York earlier then their expected time, so he sped up the ship earlier that night. Supposedly if they were going the speed they were supposed to be going, they would have had time to turn the ship when the iceberg was spotted.
I am planning to write my own Titanic Story about these two ten year old cousins who sailed on the Titanic and Survived the nightmare of the shipwreck with their own courage and witts and their broken friendship but with great cost obviously meaning their families 👪 from their parents and older siblings did not survive and the sinking of the Titanic brings the two cousins relationship more closer to each other and helps them reconcile.
43:40 - I think Lightoller was overlooked because of his in actions on the night of the sinking. Remember, 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller was the man who let many lifeboats go with plenty of spaces of men in them. He refused to allow a man into a lifeboat, even when there was plenty of room. His actions, killed many who could have been saved.
That was Wilde and Boxhall. Lightroller and Murdoch were less discriminatory about who was allowed on Lifeboats and Collapsibles. Wilde was the one who killed himself. It is also theorized that Wilde murdered a 3rd Class Passenger trying to board one of the Lifeboats. Henry Wilde WAS depressed and suicidal. His wife had died in 1910 of Yellow Fever, and two young sons died in 1911 from Typhoid Fever.
@Kitty Kat You do know you just pissed on your own argument? You said "You weren't there, You don't know ..." and then you went on to state something which you think happened in a way you knew what happened that night. Great hypocrite statement.
If I was on the Titanic, boarded in Southampton and witnessed the near miss with the smaller ship while leaving port, I would have gotten the fuck off of it during the brief stop in Belfast.
I think you mean Queenstown (Belfast is where it was built) and no you wouldn't have. Do you realize how frustrating it would have been for you? Especially if you were cash strapped. To have to sit around Queenstown waiting to get a ticket to go back to Southampton, shelling out the additional money, renting a hotel room for a few nights? And what about your plans for when you got to America? What are you going to tell your dear Aunty who was expecting you? Or your employer who was expecting your arrival. Not to mention how ridiculous it is to assert that a ship like Titanic could possibly sink anyway. Everybody knows it can't sink!
Due to her water tight compartments the press had labeled Titanic as "practically" unsinkable. The White Star Line nor Harlom & Wolf never said the Titanic was unsinkable
This documentary hinted towards what Tyrants the White Star Line was, imagine surviving the disaster and having your pay stopped, so you couldn't even rebuild your life. They did the same thing with the band, they sent bills to their family's for their suits.
Every year especially now marks 112 years since that day ironically today is April 14,2024 on a Sunday.That day years ago was on a Sunday. We must remember it was just one country but multiple different people from all backgrounds were on that ship. May God know that those souls who tragically lost their lives or survived teach us that it doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from anything can happen and we must learn to never repeat what can happen again

Pystryker staff is correct -- Carpathia was roughly 50 - 60 Naut Miles from Titanic when she received the distress call. Carpathia's max cruising speed was 14 knots (basically 14 mph) and eventhough she steamed with her engines at 110% towards Titanic, she still only averaged 17 knots/hr. With a closing speed of 17 knots x 3.5 hrs to intercept = 59 nautical miles of travel...if she was 300 naut miles away...Carpathia wouldn't have arrived until 5:30 PM (17.5 hrs approx to intercept)
In contrast...RMS Californian was only about 10 nautical miles away. We know this because both ships were visible to each other. Due to the curvature of the Earth, an observer sailing on open ocean cannot see anything farther than 12 nautical miles away -- anything farther than that is below the observer's horizon and is completely invisible to that observer. Since both ships were visible to each other, Californian could not have been greater than 12 miles from Titanic at the time of the sinking.
that music playing in the end gripped me.... this was a disaster that should never have happened.....but thanks to Titanic, she made ships more safer and safety at sea was taken more seriously.... so in a way, we own that former great ship everything.
Screw the ship, if a debt is owed it is to the 1500 souls that perished in such frightening and horrific ways. I don't understand the nostalgia for what is now just an underwater mass grave. The world would be better if the Titanic never existed. Can you imagine telling the survivors and tens of thousands of mourning loved ones how "great" the Titanic is?
Kanefan701 yes so true. I've always been fascinated by Titanic. It touches me so profoundly.
Like Eva Hart once put it, "it will go down in history as the one disaster where there was no need for anyone to die."
Time changes things and she's seen as much older than she is already because of its fame,it's like looking back hundreds of years in its value even though it was only 106 years ago it already has historic value because of the story
Kanefan701 I agree and also I almost cried during watching this
I thought this was put together pretty well. Sure, it wasn't a high budget film but as a person who has watched everything about Titanic I could find on You Tube, I appreciated how this was done. Thank you for uploading!
I bet your a yank
Who needs a high budget when you have a great story.
Stop complaining you idiot!
I love the programs of the survivors in the own words read by their relatives awesome show MissCSA
Richard E. Grant playing Lawrence Beesley, is perfection.
Love this DOCUMENTRY becouse it puts a human face and voice to a terrible bit of history!!!
It's the greatest story ever told though,but yes a terrible tragedy.The fame the ship has now is as incredulous as the story
😢😢😢😢😢
Tywin Lannister is a great narrator.
I would have liked Tyrion as a narrator!
Tywin .......Charles Dance....I was thinking the same thing!
Nice to see Withnail as well.
THATS who the narrator is. I recognized it but I couldn’t place it
This is one of my favorite documentaries about TITANIC
its so ironic that the ship that nearly hit the Titanic as she was leaving the land. it seems to me that she was trying to stop the Titanic and the most chilling thing is that Her name was New York. Where was Titanic heading? to New York City. its like the ship was trying to say your not going to make it...
There were so many icebergs, though. They easily could have hit another one, even if they’d left another day.
LittleLulubee There is a thing called hope,.Hope for a better out come, for the people on that ship, nobody wanted to die. and there loved ones didn’t want to lose them. The way you tell it, there was no hope for the people on that boat? ! If it was as bad as your saying with the icebergs, then the Titanic should of postponed the trip, until it was safe, none of the families received any settlement, for their deaths. Seems like the shipping company was responsible for there deaths, recklessly sailing off when it wasn’t safe. Just like for airlines, they pay to the families. When it’s the airlines fault, even when it’s not. The blue star Company, was reckless and at fault, and many mistakes made. That led to the many deaths Nobody was held responsible. There money should of been returned. To there families. Talk about greed
27:20 "When I first saw and realized that every lifeboat had left the ship; the sensation felt was... not an agreeable one."
They were made of iron back then.
Iron steel!!
Used to be iron men using wooden tools but now wooden men using iron tools!!
God bless all those people, makes me cry.
Thank you so much for uploading this almost unknown documentary. I absolutely love Claudie Blakley!
They're all great actors, but I think "Mr. Lightoller" is enjoying his part, just a little bit more than the others. And saying these lines while dressed in the clothes of the time would be quite an experience, I'm sure!
May we never experience a tragedy such as the one endured by the courageous men and women lost in the icy north Atlantic.
Mostly men died on the titanic
And children
@@KillerofWestoids that’s so sad 😭
Considering this is being recounted by there relatives it must be so hard for there loved ones some of whom probably didn’t know them but obviously have been told about them since they were old enough and seen video interviews of there recounts of the disaster in 1912 .
Violet Jesop worked on all three of the White Star, Olympic Class Ships, RMS Olympic RMS Titanic and (RMS)HMHS Britannic,
She was on Board the HMHS Britannic when it struck a sea mine laid by the Submarine U 73 in 1916 ,
what isHMHS please
His/Her Majesty Hospital Ship
She was also on the Olympic when it crashed into another ship. I believe I would have considered another line of work.
Dudley IKR? She clearly loved her work - continued to work on ships until she retired.
This is one of the very best documentaries on this tragedy I have ever seen.
Titanic sank on my Grandmother’s 8th birthday. And I’m a grandmother myself. Family convinced Grandma to fly but she always said large ships frightened her as she had heard stories all her life, so much so she never learned to swim!
Charles Lightoller went on to become a hero in WWII his little boat played a part in Dunkirk's resure. He loved being at sea.
Having sailed since my teens....... a body of water that is calm as glass....more like the calm before the storm.
I can actually see the main Titanic cemetery from my living room window and even the infamous "J Dawson" grave stone. There are some personal Titanic videos on my channel if anyone cares to see them.
hey I'm from new Brunswick. I been to the cemetery a few times, we're maritimers!
Many ships sent warnings of ice bergs... Captain Smith knew they were out there... but just assumed that the look outs would see them in time... but the ocean was calm... no moonlight.. and the look outs had no binoculars... it was also very difficult to see where the horizon met the ocean.. due to cold weather mirage...The captain. Was just complacent! He had never dealt with any disaster in his career. He thought he. Never would. He was over Confident!
Hazel Walsh He supports the same attitude after he commanded the liner 'Adriatic' on her maiden voyage several years before when he told reporters he couldn't imagine anything happening to the ship because modern shipbuilding had gone beyond the concept of disaster. The seeds of overconfidence were being planted, one could say.
Tywin Lannister narrating this makes it even better ♥️
Titanic The Ship of Dreams 💔 the Unsinkable Ship was indeed Sinkable 🚢 🚣 R.I.P People of the Titanic 💔
Anyone else notice Charles Dance ( who played Tywin Lannister) is the narrator ? A booming voice
“You know the ships’s sinking?”
Violet Jessup: Ugh not again...well at least the chances of it happening again are pretty slim.

James Cameron's Titanic changed what kind of visual Titanic film audiences could see, He did that by making a 100% accurately built Titanic movie set and the ship braking into in two pieces which needed to be in movie for accuracy and it portrayed this historic world event better than any other Titanic movie had done before in a visual sense of course.
There's no consensus that the Titanic broke up on the surface. There's a school of thought that Titanic merely fractured on the surface and finished breaking up on the way down
And the nice thing about James Cameron's Titanic they have not had another Titanic movie since . The old classic versions are also really good .
man i have no use for cameron's movie i wanted to see a film on Titanic not two young teenagers running around
I've never cared for the cliched love story. It interfered with the historical aspect of the movie. I watch the movie to see the ship, pure and simple.
Jonny Cat And out of the thousands of true stories he could have covered - he chose a fake one.
This is the second Titanic documentary I've seen narrated by Charles Dance.
One of the primary antagonists in arguably the most successful television series in history, narrating a documentary program about the world's most well-known and famous ship, (and shipwreck,) in history.
The television series also happened to have been filmed in the former paint hall at the Harland & Wolffe shipyards where the Titanic, (and her sister ship, the Olympic,) was built, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, now known as, "Titanic Studios."
Coincidence?!?!
(I think not.👍😊)
This was quite well done document with some extra Titanic survivor's grand- and great-childreb act as their survived relatives.
27:10
1,500 people left onboard :0
Unfkngbelievable
@Railfan 765 The actual number is unknown. It could be between 1400-1650... due to undocumented passengers and stow-aways we may never know the true number of souls lost.
There was many accounts of survivors remembering smelling a damp cave like smell just before and during the time of the collision. It is said that you could smell an iceberg.
Omg the cast of this is amazing. Richard e grant!
Lord Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, and Hand of the King, here to narrarate a story about the Titanic. Enjoy!!
whoever did the sad soundtrack in this has to be found.

Its from movie waltz with bashir.
@@thekameleon9785 thank you. At 21:14 to 22:52 where did that music come from?
Haunted ocean waltz with bashir.
@@thekameleon9785 well I had a listen and it didn't seem to match. There's like 5 parts of Haunted Ocean but with one?
They made one mistake, The Titanic broke in half, it never sunk whole
+Andreas Olsen Some survivors said she sank in one piece.
+Andreas Olsen Watch a video called Drain the Titaninc (2015)... The title sounds dumb but it's very interesting... Some new theories about the sinking suggest it may not have broke completely in two until about half way down.... Which could explain why the world thought it was in one piece until it was found in 1985.... There is just no way to know for sure... It was a long time ago, and even then stories differed depending on vantage points...
TheFarmerfitz But some survivors say that she broke at the surface.
+RMS Titanic 1912-2016 yes I probably watched the same vids.... some say it did some say it didn't.... Maybe it started to, but not completely... Nothing under the water could be seen... and when the lights went out it would have been pitch blackness with only stars for lights... We all know it did, it's just a matter of when and how... What survivors could have seen is the funnels falling forward when they came off maybe giving the appearance that the ship was breaking up, then again, maybe it was.......idk....
I think the ship split on the surface but she fully came apart nearer the ocean floor, the derbis field tells the story how everything came to be in the place where the bow and stern came to rest.
These actors are fantastic
There were lots of reports of passengers having premonitions and bad feelings, it was the spirit world warning them.
Myyyeah...funny how everyone and their granny seems to have these so called "premonitions" in the days before events of great tragedy and the like. I mean it's of course total bullshit, but whatever helps one cope I guess.
Robby House Dude, peyote ain’t bullshit. You see the size of that chicken!? C’mon.
It's not entirely impossible though. Sometimes these things just seem to happen for whatever reason. Guess you can say it's part of life.
I’ve had premonitions that came true. Lots of people do.
No shit the titanic looked scary af
Jesus!!!! one of the best doc I have ever seen about Titanic ... very compelling
I like the guy who said.. "if we have to die, then we will die like gentleman." Had to have been the most dignified person on that ship that night. And i hate to say it but.. i bet there's very few if any people like that on this planet anymore. It's a damn shame!
He also said.. "i just cannot see taking a spot in a lifeboat that could be used for a woman or child.. that just wouldn't be right." And he was right!! Die like gentleman, instead of panicking.. he just accepted it.
Is that Charles Dance I hear.
he narrates another titanic doc too
The lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.
Pretty sure its Christopher Plummer but I could be wrong
@@shana4806 That's right. He narrated an excellent documentary about the construction of the Titanic called 'Titanic: Birth Of A Legend' some years back. I wonder if Charles Dance is a bit of a Titanic enthusiast?
Col. Gracie's last words were " ...we must get them into the boats. " And his daughter died a few years later in the Great Influenza.
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for posting! It's really mind boggling when you think about the many maritime laws enforced as a result of Titanic's sinking. I mean, there wasn't a PA system or any way of sharing info with passengers. They never realized the danger they were in until it was too late. In another documentary, they acted out how long it took the crew to load & lower the lifeboats. At least 20-30 mins a piece! It's amazing that they were able to launch as many as they did. RIP to them all. Survivors & non survivors alike. ❤️
How to make anything amazing -
Step 1 - Have Charles Dance narrate it
I’m currently rewatching GOT and hearing Tywin Lannister as narrator is awesome.
There’s a voice recording of Violet Jessops accord of the sinking of the britanic, she survived all 3 sinking of the Olympic class ships
I don’t understand how they could get certain details so wrong in a professional production like this, but they do. The most glaring example is saying the Carpathia steamed THREE HUNDRED MILES to reach Titanic’s wreck site. The distance was actually around 55 miles and Carpathia covered it in around 3.5 hours. To cover 300 n.mi. in that time Carpathia would have needed to travel at over 80 knots, that’s somewhere around 90 mph. Surely you’d have thought they’d catch that glaring issue in editing!
Because too many people THINK they know what they are talking about because they looked at one side of the story and figure it was all like that.
This is why I hate a thousand people recovering that same story.. they butcher it. You know.. like whispering a sentence around a campfire.. and by the time it gets back around to you it's a completely different sentence!!! There's way too much of that crap anymore. And it's impossible to correct them all.
This is
Besides.. this is a cheaper production than you think!
There's always somebody that complains about the meal brainiac
When they said the R.M.S. Carpathia Owned By The
Cunard line Ship Traveled Over 300 Miles From Where It Was To Help Rescue The Titanic …
But actual history and proof is that the
R.M.S. Carpathia Travrled Less Then
60 Miles at a speed of 17 knots that’s Aprox 19 mph so that’s less then 5 hours and that’s what it took !!!!
"The floor wasn't as nice as the Beds in titanic" ... lol
the narrator is the same who narrated in Titanic - Birth of a Legend.
Kanefan701 I think it's Charles dance
It sounds like Charles Dance.
alfcsm101 Charles Dance? You mean one of the actors who portrayed The Phantom of The Opera? THAT Charles Dance?
Scott S Oh, okay. Someone thought that the Narrator of this Documentary was Charles Dance, who was one of the actors to portray The Phantom of The Opera. But, thanks for the info.
Thought so. He has a very Morgan Freeman like voice.
the lady she speaks for Violet Jessop is so pretty and speech is so good
the titanic broke in half
Lightoller maintained it didn't and this show is from their words. We know in the real world it did indeed break, but the official inquiry concluded intact sinking and the show is playing off what the inquiry was like.
It took me 3 days to watch this video. It's still the greatest recorded maritime tragedy of all times. Thank God international maritime laws have been passed and followed to ensure this magnitude of loss never occurs again. The message for all of us, is that only God is unsinkable. Only God is unstoppable, only God can guarantee our survival in times of trial. I hope that the families of those who lost their lives found peace.
And the band played on...to the end. Such men outside the military and first responders are hard to find these days. So many factors if just one would change, this disaster may have been prevented. Hindsight is 20/20, won’t second guess the decisions of those in the crisis
Some well known British Actors on here 💖
Oh my lord!! Now they're claiming 1500 bodies were recovered. It was slightly more than 300. Those who were recognizable and might be identified were embalmed on board and taken to Halifax, including J. J. Astor. Those who weren't were searched for identifiable artifacts like watches glasses, letters, etc. which were carefully preserved to take back to Halifax and the bodies then buried at sea. All others presumed to have been sunk with Titanic or carried away on the Labrador current further south. The vast majority of bodies were never recovered.
So so sad.. not sure if this is true but in a documentary I watched a while ago, they said the Titanic received many SOS calls regarding the ice bergs but the people taking the calls were told to focus on getting the first class passenger messages as first priority so they ignored the warnings. The doc also said the owner of the ship wanted to make headlines if they were able to get to New York earlier then their expected time, so he sped up the ship earlier that night. Supposedly if they were going the speed they were supposed to be going, they would have had time to turn the ship when the iceberg was spotted.
Well.. that was excessively depressing. I should know better than to watch certain things while at work. >.>
The Wilhelm Gustloff made the Titanic look like a weekend in Chicago.
Cool...
As did the Dona Paz
nahhh
Just really sad. Unnecessary deaths and even some of the few lifeboats not filled to capacity.! Must have been terrifying.
I am planning to write my own Titanic Story about these two ten year old cousins who sailed on the Titanic and Survived the nightmare of the shipwreck with their own courage and witts and their broken friendship but with great cost obviously meaning their families 👪 from their parents and older siblings did not survive and the sinking of the Titanic brings the two cousins relationship more closer to each other and helps them reconcile.
43:40 - I think Lightoller was overlooked because of his in actions on the night of the sinking. Remember, 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller was the man who let many lifeboats go with plenty of spaces of men in them. He refused to allow a man into a lifeboat, even when there was plenty of room. His actions, killed many who could have been saved.
That was Wilde and Boxhall. Lightroller and Murdoch were less discriminatory about who was allowed on Lifeboats and Collapsibles.
Wilde was the one who killed himself.
It is also theorized that Wilde murdered a 3rd Class Passenger trying to board one of the Lifeboats.
Henry Wilde WAS depressed and suicidal. His wife had died in 1910 of Yellow Fever, and two young sons died in 1911 from Typhoid Fever.
@Kitty Kat You do know you just pissed on your own argument? You said "You weren't there, You don't know ..." and then you went on to state something which you think happened in a way you knew what happened that night. Great hypocrite statement.
Nice footage my grandfather was born back in 1907 he was just a boy when the ship sank
Narrator did a phenomenal job and great voiced
Thanks for uploading been trying 2 get hold of it for ages as im in it
Mazhay09 where
If I was on the Titanic, boarded in Southampton and witnessed the near miss with the smaller ship while leaving port, I would have gotten the fuck off of it during the brief stop in Belfast.
I think you mean Queenstown (Belfast is where it was built) and no you wouldn't have. Do you realize how frustrating it would have been for you? Especially if you were cash strapped. To have to sit around Queenstown waiting to get a ticket to go back to Southampton, shelling out the additional money, renting a hotel room for a few nights? And what about your plans for when you got to America? What are you going to tell your dear Aunty who was expecting you? Or your employer who was expecting your arrival. Not to mention how ridiculous it is to assert that a ship like Titanic could possibly sink anyway. Everybody knows it can't sink!
Thank you so much for this. It is one of the best historical reenactment .

🌺R.I.P to the Souls who boarded Titanic 🌺
💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💙
But the Titanic split in half, the lifeboats only carried 64 people maximum.
Due to her water tight compartments the press had labeled Titanic as "practically" unsinkable. The White Star Line nor Harlom & Wolf never said the Titanic was unsinkable
Violet Jesep. She also survived the sinking of the Lusitania. It was during the war and it had been made into a hospital ship.
Brittanic, not Lusitania
Yes you are correct. Mistake.
Also she was present when RMS Olympic collided with HMS Hawke
Britannic not Lusitania.
Brittanic. Not Lusitania.
I am só glad you posted this. Really wanted to see this, so a big THANK YOU!
This documentary hinted towards what Tyrants the White Star Line was, imagine surviving the disaster and having your pay stopped, so you couldn't even rebuild your life.
They did the same thing with the band, they sent bills to their family's for their suits.
Very good program this thanks 👍
Always wondered, how many survived but took the opportunity to change their identity
I've wondered about that too.
I can't stop watching
they had a very good command of English!
Dave Merritt LoL, since English is native to the British.
Because they're bloody British!
Every year especially now marks 112 years since that day ironically today is April 14,2024 on a Sunday.That day years ago was on a Sunday. We must remember it was just one country but multiple different people from all backgrounds were on that ship. May God know that those souls who tragically lost their lives or survived teach us that it doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from anything can happen and we must learn to never repeat what can happen again
Can you imagine Archbull Gracie surviving all that shit only to die a few months later from something else? That's bizarre.
All rich and worldly goods cannot save a life!
The biggest lesson life can ever tell you.
Rest in peace ✝️
