No no no. They knew about it! Here's the Truth: Captain Smith received all warnings, then he asked his second Officer Lightoller: "How are the weather conditions arround the Titanic?" He replied: "We can perfectly see everything arround". As the engines were doing great time, and the weather would allow Titanic to avoid any threat (in theory), the captain Smith went to take a break, but before he said to that same officer "If anything changes, call me immediatly". And i'll take the hook to talk about the Wireless operator. In case you don't know, the Marconi Wireless set works in that way: The near are the other wireless set, the louder it is. The Radio was broken one day before, and the two operators managed to fix it, even tough they were trained to let it be broken untill be fixed in the coast. Titanic also was a RMS (Royal Mail Ship), meaning that more than transporting passangers and cargo, she also received and sent messages to the coast. The operator Philips had a LOT of messages that weren't sent to be sent. So he had to talk to cape race, so he turned the volume to the Max so he could hear Cape Race. Too bad that Californian tryied the contact right at that momment. She was like 10 miles away from Titanic, so when she tried to send a message, something like a loud thunder was heard by Philips. It was late, he was tired, stressed and then this happened. He trew his headphone to the ground and told Californian: "Shut up, keep out, i'm bussy, i'm talking to cape race". After that, Californian's wireless operator went to sleep. Back to the iceberg: That was a moonless night, and there was a mirage effect that created a false horizon. So when they spoted the iceberg, it was just too late. That's all.
No they knew about the ice warnings captain Smith even altered course slightly. The wireless operators were very busy that night sending out passengers messages when the Californian radioed in there signal came through so loud because they were so close to Titanic Harold Bride told the guy to shut up. The Californian radio guy then shut off his radio and went to bed. By the time the Californian figured out what was happening Titanic was gone. They woke up the next morning fired up there radio and herd nothing but other ships talking about Titanic and that’s when Carpathia radioed back saying don’t come.
The wireless operators main priority was to send passenger messages. Not make sure that the Captain was informed about any and ever message concerning weather and sea conditions. Obviously, the people who wrote the rules of the sea had "their" priorities "f*cked up"! They had to learn the hard way, at the expense of over 1500 lives!

Not sure. Hitting a solid block of ice in 21 knots doesn't guarantee survival. Even if the first 3 compartments are flooded, you have to close the rest to contain the flooding. But only the bottom most watertight doors were automatic. The rest on the top decks had to be closed manually. From the sudden shock from collision, nobody would be able to quickly go and close all those other doors. With the widely open bow now, water would flood quickly within that time. There also possibility of watertight bulkheads warping, which might prevent the doors from closing like what happened to Britannic. What if the collision shockwave open up seams anywhere around the hull? It would cause additional flooding. What if electricity goes out? Rescue would be impossible. Too much problems. These ships were built for ship-to-ship collisions, which were common back then.
Unproven. We know ships have rammed icebergs head-on before and survived, but in those cases they were much smaller than Titanic and were travelling slower. For those who look at ships that rammed other ships and survived, there's just no comparison there. An iceberg is vastly more dense than a ship. In any case, who, in their right mind, would willingly ram an iceberg like that?
Here's an explanation.. "Hard-a-starboard was the first order given, but this was immediately followed by the opposite order, ‘Hard-a-port’. This was a standard manoeuvre called ‘porting about’. In 1912, helm orders were still based on the old sailing-ship tiller movements, so hard-a-starboard meant ‘put the tiller to starboard (right)’, thus turning the rudder, and therefore the ship, to port (left). The first part of First Officer Murdoch’s order therefore swung Titanic’s bow to port (left), but this order alone would have presented her entire starboard side to the iceberg, all the way along to her starboard propeller. The damage caused by this could have caused Titanic to capsize and sink within minutes. The second part of the order, ‘Hard-a-port’ was therefore intended to swing the ship’s bow back towards the iceberg, in order to swing her stern clear. Murdoch’s second order, ‘Hard-a-port’, did succeed in swinging Titanic’s stern clear of the berg, but the first order, ‘hard-a-starboard’, had not been given early enough to avoid a collision with the bluff of her bow. This late avoiding action may also have been compounded by the Titanic’s running over an underwater ice shelf at the base of the iceberg, caused by erosion and melting of the upper part of the iceberg in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, which overran the much cooler waters of the Labrador Current in that part of the Atlantic. This may explain why a number of witnesses also described a scraping along the bottom of Titanic at the time of her collision. Quartermaster Alfred Olliver, who was just entering the bridge as the collision occurred, only heard the second part of this porting about manoeuvre, ‘Hard-a-port!'"
@@thud9797 Not to mention the loss of time when the rudder was not turned at all because the propellers stopped and then turned back.... During this time, the rudder was not properly energized and virtually ineffective......
@@gmar7836we know it’s not proper grammar but we’re in 2024 now in case you didn’t know and it’s just something that a lot of people say now, just letting you know 🙂
Well, technically the Titanic would’ve probably survived a head on collision with the iceberg. Certainly the bow would’ve been crushed and she’d be far from seaworthy, but thanks to the water tight compartments and the fact that the bow's crushed hull would’ve probably kept great masses of water from entering, the chances are high she would’ve stayed afloat. At least for more than enough time for other ships to reach her and help with evacuation if needed. You have to keep in mind, she would’ve been able to stay afloat with five whole compartments flooded. No modern ship if that size or bigger is able to do that btw. It was just bad luck that the several small leaks in the hull were too severe for the pumps to compensate, so the weight of the water pulled her down.
No one will give the order to hit an obstacle instead of avoiding it. The Titanic probably wouldn't have sunk, but it would have ended up with many passengers breaking their necks, and Murdoch wouldn't have gotten out of prison for the rest of his life.
When you take in the fact that the iron to make the ship became brittle who knows. The impact itself could have killed a lot of people and done a lot of internal damage to the ship possibly to one of the boilers and started a fire or caused an explosion 💥. I've heard of this theory before and yes full reverse could have made a difference however she was at full speed. How fast could she have possibly slowed herself down on such little notice ? Think about it.
@@skipperg4436 Oceanliner Designs had a video on this subject. Fascinating stuff, but the basics are that ships are designed to weather head-on collisions. Because steel is flexible, it mostly likely would have taken the collision aluminum-can-style, like other ships that suffered similar impacts.

The reason the lookouts didn’t have binoculars, is because a man named David Blair (who was supposed to be the fifth officer but was replaced with Harold Lowe) had the keys to the binoculars but he never boarded the ship, but I think he got arrested before Titanic set sail.
@@FwMaznope..what? Arrested? When Henry Wilde was appointed as chief officer, officers like Murdoch, Lightoller all were moved one rank down. That's why Blair left the ship. His service wasn't needed. He accidentally took the keys to the locked cabinet. But that wasn't the only pair of binoculars available onboard. There were 5 other pairs available with officers. If it was deemed necessary they would've issued it to the lookouts. Binoculars wouldn't have made much difference. It just restricts the field of view. It's better to have bare eyes to spot something. Then they alert the officers and the officers use binoculars to identify the object.
Actually wouldn’t have made a difference at all unless it was night vision which they didn’t have in 1912. The ocean was so calm the stars reflected off of it. And only the water splashing against the berg was seen. Apparently if they hit head on and not turned, 5 compartments wouldn’t have flooded.
That was full speed ASTERN. It was one of the causes of the sinking along with the turn to port. (yes, I know they said starboard but they used "Tiller Terms" in those days.
Story behind that when they had a crew change in South Hampton because the captain requested a change the one crew member left with the keys to the locker that had the binoculars. Plus you wouldn’t be able to see anything anyways at night with the binoculars. Yea it was a calm night with no clouds but by the time you did see the iceberg with the binoculars it still be too late. They really needed some type of spot lights.

Maybe in this one instance, but even after Titanic sank, sailors and seamen relied on their eyesight at night rather than headlights on ships. It's basically a universal agreement among seasoned seafarers that one's unobstructed eyesight is way more important at night than a big spotlight.
You know if Titanic hit the iceberg head on, the first four compartments would’ve been breached, but as Andrews said “She can stay afloat with the first four compartments breached but not five.” making the ship, unsinkable.
@@devonmyhre766 Ok, first off, clearly you don’t know what Breached means, and second, you kinda have a point there, though I don’t know why they made Andrews say “Four compartments” and not five.
The irony is if the Titanic turned hard a starboard the center propellor would have been active and the ship would have been able to miss the iceberg. Because they ordered a full astern the center propeller did not work which is situated right behind the rudder. As a result the ship took a really long time to turn. If they turned hardest starboard and kept the engines running full ahead the ship would have turned in time to miss the iceberg
In reality, Titanic was never put full astern. Murdoch rang for a full stop. In any case, Titanic was so massive it would have taken several minutes for her to slow to a complete standstill, so in the span of less than 30 seconds, she was still moving at full speed. She barely scraped the iceberg. Most people didn't even realise they hit anything.
Unfortunately, powerful searchlights and night vision didn't exist back in 1912. The misfortune of a new moon and a very still and cold sea combined to make looking out for icebergs almost impossible that night.
Ship would probably have cleared had they maintained speed. Ironically enough it would have stayed a float if she hit head on. A couple hundred people would have probably died but the front bulk head went all the way to the top
There is a theorry that if it hit the iceberg, yes it would of done major damage and people would of died. However, the ship would of been jammed in the berg, and kept afloat long enough for rescue to arrive.
Try beeing a lockout on a fully lit ship surrounded by darkness in calm weather and see how far you see. You would run into the ice berg before anyone picked up.
For those who aren't nautically savvy, ships need propulsion (speed or water moving past the rudder) to steer. It may seem kinda funny to go full send but what they are trying to do is steer away faster. K bye!
"Prepare ship for ludicrous speed! Fasten all seatbelts. Seal all entrances and exits! Close all shops in the mall. Cancel the three-ring circus. Secure all animals in the zoo..."
They fr couldve stayed afloat if they hit it head on and it would only damage the first 3 compartments which mean she can stay afloat because she can withstand 4 compartments being breached, unfortunately, they tried to avoid and lacked the speed, which caused the starboard side being scraped by the iceberg and reached 6 compartments.
As it happened, it was an iceberg field, but because the moon was obscured that night, the crew couldn’t see the extent of the surroundings. The surviving passengers saw it the next morning.
"Hard to starboard" in 1912 means ・Turn wheel to port (left) ・"Move tiller to starboard (right) with steering engine" to move rudder to port (left) ・Ship turn to port (left)
@@Delvallerivera1418 They were supposed to have binoculars. But no one had the key to open it. Despite that, they couldn't see it until they were right up on it. Wasn't anything they could do.
it has been said that if they had just hit the 'berg head on instead of trying to miss it, the damage to the ship would've been far less severe and completely survivable.

@@devonmyhre766 Ok, first off, clearly you don’t know what Breached means, and second, you kinda have a point there, though I don’t know why they made Andrews say “Four compartments” and not five.
@@BryanZuniga-xk4ye didn’t they conduct an investigation later and determined that the iceberg grazed the sixth compartment also flooding it?
This one movement where Titanic couldn't be saved , just one hit to the iceberg
ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD! Continue it
Thank you.
The first Hollywood movie i ever watched on cinemas and that itself the highest like 7 times
Beautifully filmed.
Ludicrous speed, GO!!
Now was already speeding and went in full reverse
Bro literally said thanks 💀
He was thanking him for the information
The irony is if the Titanic turned hard a starboard the center propellor would have been active and the ship would have been able to miss the iceberg. Because they ordered a full astern the center propeller did not work which is situated right behind the rudder. As a result the ship took a really long time to turn. If they turned hardest starboard and kept the engines running full ahead the ship would have turned in time to miss the iceberg
In reality, Titanic was never put full astern. Murdoch rang for a full stop. In any case, Titanic was so massive it would have taken several minutes for her to slow to a complete standstill, so in the span of less than 30 seconds, she was still moving at full speed.
She barely scraped the iceberg. Most people didn't even realise they hit anything.
I think the mistake came when they tried to put her in reverse completely disrupted her ability to turn alot quicker
@@Isaac-muntz She was never put full astern.
- Turn, turn smartly!
- * TURN BRUTELY *
The luitenate still standing there with the cup of tea in his hand
They should've had searchlights on the crow's nest which should've been higher probably anyway.
I saw a video Dat they needed to improve night vision guz you can see better then if you had lights on.
Unfortunately, powerful searchlights and night vision didn't exist back in 1912. The misfortune of a new moon and a very still and cold sea combined to make looking out for icebergs almost impossible that night.
@@Adam-pu6jg soooo 🌜did a 🔮🪄🎩 to 🧊⬛👀 till it waz too late 🧊🚢??
Ship would probably have cleared had they maintained speed. Ironically enough it would have stayed a float if she hit head on. A couple hundred people would have probably died but the front bulk head went all the way to the top
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER WAS A VERY GOOD FILM 😔
There is a theorry that if it hit the iceberg, yes it would of done major damage and people would of died. However, the ship would of been jammed in the berg, and kept afloat long enough for rescue to arrive.
Iceberg be like: we’ll I can’t go over it I might aswell go through it
I love titanic❤❤😊😊
It sank you know
@@Tristanlee-l2lyea
Actually the plan was to dodge the iceberg not to hit it with the side of the ship
Of course that was the plan…no one plans to hit an iceberg. But she couldn’t turn for shit.
They should of went head on with the iceburg. They probably would of survived.
Iceberg, right ahead
They should have stopped and turned 😢
“Don’t hit the iceberg. Don’t hit the iceberg. Don’t hit the iceberg. Ah, fuck, we bit the iceberg.”
Ludicrous,speed go got me 😂
Plot twist: the crew was done with the passengers shit
Best movie ever ❤
iceberg right ahead!
- proceed to ram! prepare the boarding party!
How the guy driving the ship should have just turned it by him self
Maldito iceberg acabó con el transatlántico más moderno de la época.
Try beeing a lockout on a fully lit ship surrounded by darkness in calm weather and see how far you see.
You would run into the ice berg before anyone picked up.
The tile: The Titanic herself sees the iceberg, Murdoch: “HARD A STARBOARD!”. Meanwhile pulls the telegraph to ahead full. LOL
He actually put it in Full Astern
@@Bhatz96 I meant the title of the video
This is quality RUclips!
Iirc they might have missed it if they kept going at their current speed. Reversing actually hampered their turning radius.
Titanic didn't speed up after spotting the iceberg, they slammed on the brakes and threw the engine in reverse while trying to go around it
Beautiful memories
I mean yeah ocean set looks sick
But that's not what happened. Had they reacted like this, the Night to remember would have never happened.
Nostalji hisslər ✈️🚀🛫
Love the movie❤❤❤❤
Captain of the titanic be like: more speed har to starboard!
Captain of the Olympic be like: *Ramm it!*
マードックの動きが素晴らしい！
I feel like crashing into the iceberg head-on would’ve been the best chance of survival
At this speed, the titanic sank in less than 20 minutes
fullspeed ahead to the iceberg
Pick up you bastard is anybody there yes! ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD!
Starboard is right, port is left. He turned to port.
Tiller commands. "Hard a starboard" means to turn to port and vice versa.
For those who aren't nautically savvy, ships need propulsion (speed or water moving past the rudder) to steer. It may seem kinda funny to go full send but what they are trying to do is steer away faster. K bye!
"Prepare ship for ludicrous speed! Fasten all seatbelts. Seal all entrances and exits! Close all shops in the mall. Cancel the three-ring circus. Secure all animals in the zoo..."
সিনেমা টা দারুন ছিল ❤️
The drama should be a tragedy so speed up process 😂
Titanic hit because the steering is too hard
Ramming speed!!
They fr couldve stayed afloat if they hit it head on and it would only damage the first 3 compartments which mean she can stay afloat because she can withstand 4 compartments being breached, unfortunately, they tried to avoid and lacked the speed, which caused the starboard side being scraped by the iceberg and reached 6 compartments.
They forgot to bring binoculars! 😱😦
As it happened, it was an iceberg field, but because the moon was obscured that night, the crew couldn’t see the extent of the surroundings. The surviving passengers saw it the next morning.
They call hard to starboard. However, the wheelman turns the wheel to the portside.
Tiller commands. Hard a starboard means to turn to port
"Hard to starboard" in 1912 means
・Turn wheel to port (left)
・"Move tiller to starboard (right) with steering engine" to move rudder to port (left)
・Ship turn to port (left)
Really, this is unsinkable ship for RMS Titanic 🚢 but..
..it is not but unbelievable sad story 😢😢
They were freezing 🥶 🥶 on that pole for nothing. They still died.
No they didn't. They both survived.
@Jared_Elam33 Yeah, I know that. I was referring to what was the point of freezing up on that pole, when most of the passengers still died.
@@Delvallerivera1418 They were supposed to have binoculars. But no one had the key to open it. Despite that, they couldn't see it until they were right up on it. Wasn't anything they could do.
They are not prepared what titanic will aproach iceberg
Proverbs 16:18
“Pride goeth before destruction,
and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
😊 Amigo Gracias por hacer la película del Titanic
A film about English Sailors sinking a cruise liner 🍿
Ocean liner
Super scene 👍
it has been said that if they had just hit the 'berg head on instead of trying to miss it, the damage to the ship would've been far less severe and completely survivable.
Calls back few seconds later: Lol jk
