In this, the first episode of our new series "In Their Footsteps", we follow Thomas Andrews -- the legendary man who is often said to 'have built Titanic'. Through in-depth historical research and analysis, we present a three-dimensional picture of Thomas Andrews as a person; we follow his movements in the Harland & Wolff shipyard, while aboard Titanic, and during the disaster.
Meet Thomas Andrews as you never have before in this documentary-length episode on the Steam & Splendor Network!
The Steam & Splendor Network: Real history, genuine education, no nonsense.
Note: This episode originally aired on @PartTimeExplorer, our partner channel, in 2021, though this version has been significantly improved. The original intention was for it to be the first in a series of episodes retracing the footsteps of some of those connected with Titanic and other ships, but this is the first opportunity that we had to follow through on that plan. As such, we decided to completely refresh the episode, make sure the research was completely up-to-date, and to launch the new series "In Their Footsteps" exactly as originally intended. Stay tuned for more all-new episodes on our channel, and in this series!
This was a really well put together documentary on Thomas Andrew’s, great work guys!
@@Freakingfantasticfilms Thank you! 🙂
Fiddling around in the kitchen this morning, I popped open RUclips for some background noise. This was at the top of the algorithm's suggestions. I almost didn't click on it expecting just another A.I. generated bit of rubbish, but figured - yeah what ever.
And then there was one of my favorite voices,. Part-Time Explorer, with a new channel, putting a new take on a familiar story,
And now breakfast is an hour late.
Worth it. Subscribed and looking forward to the next installment.
@williamdunklin We are so sorry that breakfast was late because of our work, but we are very happy you enjoyed the episode and you like the new channel!
If I may be permitted to make a joke. That explains why rose could still smell the fresh paint. The paint was VERY fresh.
@@Jopsyduck It's actually a really neat and very accurate little detail that Cameron included in his script, yes!
These stories have always hit deep for me ever since I was a child especially thomas andrews ive always wondered what was on his mind in his last moments did he think about his family, the moment he first me this wife or maybe the moment when he found out he'd be a father or when he held his child for the first time
I like to think it was all of that and more but one things for certain his family knew he loved and cherished them more then anything in the world and even tho he wasn't with them anymore he was still with them in their hearts watching over and waiting for them
@@Historybuff_769 So true! One has to wonder about these things.
An interesting look at his life, Ive always understood him to be a caring person even for the workers and his portrait ive always thought he looks so gentle somehow..... deary me tbh it brought me to tears with the tune playing in the back ground
Thank you. In all honesty, it was even emotional for some of us watching it back before release.
Thank you very much for reuploading this one team! I love it very much! 🥰
Thank you! This one was long due for some refreshing.
Stupendous biography of Mr. Andrews. He was there during the construction and launch of the Ship, he joined her during her maiden voyage, and they became intertwined in death.
@@JamesDaffyBenderDonald Thank you! We tried very hard to honor his memory and paint a fuller picture of Andrews.
Going through the description I'm very glad to hear this series will continue properly, when the original version released a few years ago I was excited to see where it could go. I'm glad it'll get that chance again with the help of historians like yourselves
Thank you! The dream is finally happening, yes. In fact, the next episode in this series is currently finishing up with editing!
Loved this! Great deep dive on Mr. Andrews.
Thank you! We thought he was a most fitting start to the series. Hopefully we paid nice tribute to the man behind the legend.
for a modern steel ship- thats a huge amount of wood on the shipyard. still not quite a modern shipyard. i love the old pictures
Lovely piece. Well done.
@j.r.c8145 Thank you so much!
Excellent!
Many thanks! We are glad that you enjoyed it. :)
It’s Brilliant to know that his legacy lives on in the Normadic, so glad she was saved and returned home.
Well done, everyone!👏👏
@@bluebirdnut Thank you! 🙂
Super informative! Well done!
Thank you!
Ever heard the saying 'shadows of fate' its when something small happens before the big thing happens. In this case when titanic almost crashed into another ship on her way out of dock. A lucky escape everyone thought. That was shadows of fate before the second big crash into the iceberg.
@sheilaferguson4358 Many certainly felt it was a bad omen, yes. Others brushed it aside without much thought of that type.
I know Olympic had her boilers converted from burning coal to fuel oil after World War I! If Titanic hadn’t sunk I’m sure she would have had her boilers converted to fuel oil too! And Thomas Andrews would have probably been involved in their conversions!
@@johnfaulders9880 Yes, very likely!
😊
Whats the background music?
@@pocketwatch5149 I know there is a rendition of "Danny Boy" in there. There is a full list in the closing credits, as well.
Why did they schedule the first voyage....before the ship was fully fitted out ?
@Baskerville22 It's a good question! The original date of the maiden voyage had already been postponed from late March. April 10 was the date originally scheduled for her second round-trip. Planning for these things had to be done months in advance, and the shipyard was clearly running up against a tight deadline. The repairs to Olympic from the Hawke collision, and the propeller replacement -- among other factors -- had all taken a toll. The things that still needed work were largely "details" more than large-scale or safety issues, so it was decided to take care of the last odds and ends after the trials to maintain the schedule. They pulled off a minor miracle getting her into service for April 10. Does that help?
@@SteamAndSplendor Thanks for that.
@Baskerville22 Of course!
