Where I live in Liverpool. There's 2 roads named Mauritania and Lusitania Road. When my wife and I went on our honeymoon. We sailed from the dock opposite where the Titanic sailed from 99 years previous.
Just to clarify for any confused Idahoans reading this, Keith sailed on his honeymoon from Southampton but he lives in Liverpool the city of Titanic’s registry. They are hundreds of miles apart.
I have been fascinated with this ship since I was a kid. I first heard about it when it was rediscovered after 80 years or however long it was so I asked my mom what the story was and she told me. Shorty after the movie came out and it was just magical. It was a long movie but that didn’t stop me from watching it over 20 times. Such a powerful story this was, sad to see it disappearing.
I touched Titanic.... at a San Francisco exhibition displaying the largest piece retrieved so far... I beat security cameras and placed my hand on her... My mom had lunch with Millvina Dean and we have autographs and personal notes from her. I've lived Titanic ever since I read "A Night To Remember" in 4th grade...I'm 67 now and the fascination lives on....
@17:59 But... the photo is not of Titanic's Grand Staircase, but in fact of Olympic's Grand Staircase. There are no known photo's of Titanic's Grand Staircase.... All of them are of Olympic.
She was a Masterpiece, I have loves Titanic and her story since I was 12 years old. Thank you very much for letting me se her like this, I loved the guideed tour. Amacing houst.
I hate how everyone is using Titanic Honor and glory's work to show the ship but nobody wants to fund them and they are currently not able to complete the project as originally envisioned because of it.
Thank you for uploading! I just wish programs like this employed an editor to weed out glaring errors. Grammatical and informational details. Nice effort that could have been professional with the help of someone who knows basic English. Too bad! As another post pointed out - it looks great! Again, many thanks. 😻
Some pretty unfortunate misstatements about some photos though like claiming the photo of Olympic's Grand Staircase is of Titanic's or the photo of *Olympic's* Smoking room or the photo of Olympic's propellers. Of course others have mentioned there were a few other misstatements throughout the video of dates and other facts. Unfortunate they couldn't more thoroughly research a script prior to filming.
Couldn't get past the first 10 minutes. The "tour guide" is a bit misinformed and right from the get go... he's talking about how it all started in 1908 when the display he's standing next to clearly says 1907... and then he says the life boats were cut back because of clutter when it was really because Pirrie noticed on the Olympic that people weren't using the upper promenades and wanted to make them more appealing to first class passengers by giving them more space and activities, hence the gymnasium (which he failed to mention)
Great video it really brings to life the Titanic and you get to see in color the interior and it looks so real it’s like going back in time and being on board the great ship.
Titanic was NOT the first ship to have elevators or a swimming pool as stated in this video. Her sister ship Olympic was nearly identical and she was completed first.
I Loved the Tour, Although you did get a couple things wrong, if it's okay? I'm gonna list off them below. 1. The Number of Ships - You mentioned that Both Titanic and Olympic were Constructed Together as #401 and #400 respectively, Which was True, But Overall there were not only Two Ships, But Actually Three, and Each one had interesting Stories to tell over the years, During that dinner party that you mentioned, It was Proposed that a TRIO of ships were to Compete Against Cunard, Their Names were "RMS Olympic", "RMS Titanic", and "RMS Britannic", Britannic had the Number #455 and was Still under construction when Titanic went down, Construction was Halted for a couple months until it was resumed after modifications were made to the Blueprint that included multiple NEW safety Features, Unfortunately, Britannic Never Entered Service for WSL due to the Outbreak of the First World War, Most Brittish Ocean Liners at the Time, During Wartime could be Requested by the Royal Navy to serve Secondary but Vital Military riles should the needs demand it, and that is Exactly what happened, She and Olympic would be Conscripted by the Admiralty, Britannic Not even being Completed as an Ocean liner when it happened, Olympic would be con vetted into and serve as a Troop Transport for the Duration of the War, Whilst britannic became the Opposite, A Hospital Ship, Taking Wounded Troops Home, Unfortunately, as I'll get to in a Moment, Only Olympic would make it home. 2. Olympic was First and the Last - Titanic had her Voyage in 1912 and was declared the largest ship at the Time, However, OLYMPIC Launched First in 1910 and having her Maiden Voyage on June 30th, 1911, and her voyage went off without a hitch and WSL Took Some notes off of Passenger Experiences on Olympic and implemented Changes based off those notes into Titanic during her Construction, The Same thing would've happened with Titanic and Britannic, had either sister had the chance, This also Means That it was OLYMPIC That was the first to have Elevators, and that it should've been Olympic that was the first to have a Swimming Pool, but in fact Olympic was the Second Ship to have a Swimming Pool, as it was Another WSL Ship, the RMS Oceanic, That was Launched in 1899, that was the first ship with a Pool. Olympic was a Year Older than Titanic, and had already made a name for herself as the "Largest Ship in the World", and has gotten herself into Trouble Twice, Both Times Delaying Titanic's Completion, First, Olympic Collided with a British Warship on the Start of her 6th Voyage in September 1911, The HMS Hawke, The Collision only Breached 2 Compartments on Olympic, But Did Severe Damage to the Hawke, Completely Destroying its Bow, But Both Ships would Survive and be Repaired (This inadvertently Strengthening the "Unsinkable" Reputation of both her and the Titanic, Which was still being fired out). and Secondly, on her way back from New York, Olympic Lost a Propeller Blade During a Bad Storm, and One had to be Donated from Titanic to replace the one that Olympic Lost. Olympic was on her way back from New York when Titanic Struck the Iceberg, and Received her Distress calls, The Ship made way to Titanic at full Speed, but was still an hour and a Half Away when Carpathia Arrived to retrieve the Survivors, and on the Order of J. Bruce Ismay, Who Survived the Sinking, Was told to continue on and Not assist, Since Olympic and Titanic were of Identical Design, it would incite panic if Olympic Stopped to Help, Following the Sinking of Titanic and a Mutiny that Broke out aboard ship over how many people died in Titanic's Engine and Boiler Rooms, Olympic was pulled from Service in October 1912 and underwent a major Refit, The Olympic a Double Hull installed, 44 Extra Lifeboats put on, and The Watertight Doors Heightened and Re-enforced, Also, The B-Deck Promenade, Which went mainly unused and was Never implemented on Titanic, was removed and Replaced with Extra Staterooms (First Class), The Parlor Suites, and The Cafe Parisean, Which Up Until This Point Olympic Never Had, Unfortunately, Unlike on Olympic, Only the New Safety Measures would be implemented During Britannic's Construction, Britannic was never fitted with her Luxurious Fittings when she was requested for service as a Hospital. 3. HMHS Britannic "Titanic's Sunken Sister" - Britannic Never entered Service as an Ocean Liner, Only Launching mere Months before WW1 Broke Out, and at the Outbreak of the Gallipoli Campaign in November 1915 in Greece, She would be Requisitioned as a Hospital Ship and Enter Service on December 17th, 1915, She Transported Thousands of Troops home during 1916, unfortunately, on her 6th Voyage on November 21st, 1916 off the Coast of the Greek Island of Kea, The Britannic Struck a Mine laid by a German U-Boat, The U-73, Her Crew Attempted to beach the Ship, but to No Avail, and after 30 Desperate People Launched Lifeboats without permission and got sucked into the Britannic's Exposed Propellers, The Order was given to Abandon Ship, Britannic sank in 55 Minutes, Under a Third the Time it took her Older Sister to sank, However 1020 out of the 1050 Survived the Sinking, Thanks to the Extra Lifeboats aboard, and to the Aegean Sea. But Only Olympic would Survive the War Unscathed, Despite having a More Dangerous Job than her younger sister and have Two Close Calls, One Having a Torpedo impact her and for it to have been a Dud, Not Going off, and The Second which made her Literally RUN DOWN a German U-Boat, the U-103, and Sink it after it failed to Fire Torpedoes AT HER due to Technical problems. 4. Oil Conversion, Golden Age, & Final Years of the RMS Olympic - Following her War Service, WSL Converted Olympic from Coal-Burning, to Oil-Burning, This Not only lessened the Maintenance on the Ship, But Also Made it so that it didn't require as much crew to operate below Decks, After the Conversion, Olympic Returned to WSL Service in 1919 and would be paired with the Then-Largest Ship in the World, the RMS Majestic (Formerly SS Bismarck, a German Imperator-Class Ocean Liner That was, following the German Defeat, Taken as a War Reparation, and was Bought from the British Government by WSL to Replace the, Now-Lost, HMHS Britannic), and for the Next 10 Years would Prosper, Carrying Many Famous Icons of the Day, Such as Members of the Royal Family, To Famous Movie-Stars of the Day Such as Charlie Chaplain. and from Time to Time, Olympic would go on "Booze Cruises" To Satisfy her American Passengers, Who Booked Round-Trip Tickets, just to get Legally Drunk during Prohibition. But Nothing good Lasts Forever, in the 1930's Everyone was suffering because of the Depression, and After a Forced Merger with Cunard in order to Complete the Then Under-Construction RMS Queen Mary,Many Older Ships of Both Companies were gradually retired, including Olympic, But not before Accidentally ramming and Sinking a Lightship in May 1934, in 1935, after 24 years of Loyal Service, Olympic was Towed to Jarrow, Scotland, Alongside her biggest Rival, the RMS Mauritania, and was Sold For Scrap, But for some of her fittings, That wasn't the End, as Her fittings were Auctioned off as she was being Scrapped, and some of those fittings still exist today, the largest collection of which is in a Hotel in England that has a Complete recreation of the Olympic's First-Class Lounge with all her fittings, you can see what Titanic's lounge might've looked like in person if you had the time to visit the UK.
when watching these reconstruction videos, it's hard to remember it's a SHIP! And to think that all that luxury was lost on its first trip. Not to mention all the lives.
I've been blessed to attend 3 different Titanic Exhibits in 3 different states in addition to having the privilege of visiting the Titanic Museum in Belfast, Ireland where the ship was made and launched. The museum gives a great history of trade and commerce of Belfast before Titanic too. Now I'm about to watch this wonderful show that took place in Idaho. Belfast took a great emotional and economic devistation when the ship went down with so many of the men (brothers, sons, husbands, fathers) from Belfast being lost.
I know this video was from 2 years ago but this is just to correct the misconception that the photo shown with the exposed propellers are of Olympic (photo was from 1929) and not of Titanic. Titanic never had a 4-bladed central turbine propeller.
Amazing to see this! So sad that this amazing ship had only, not even, 1 run. I wish the ship would still be here... Amazing to see how modern it was, the sauna, turkish bads. A pool?? I never knew they had that.
Well, the host of this Idaho-based Discovery Center, certainly gave it his best try, but the expenditure of a few hundred dollars should have been considered for a professional announcer. If nothing else, the host might have been better supported by an expert on the Titanic and a professional scriptwriter. It is clear our host is not all that comfortable with the proper terms for various areas of any ship, and alas from almost his first words concerning the birth of the concept for Titanic (and Olympic and Britannic) took place at Lord Pirrie's (a Canadian born man who was elevated by King Edward VII to the Irish Peerage) London, Mayfair residence in the Spring of...no, not 1908, but rather 1907. Had our spokesman so much as looked up at the poster in front of him, the numerals 1907 were staring him in the face. (no doubt caused by LIVE original broadcast nerves. Alas the research folks at the Discovery Center, should have spent a wee bit more time on getting their facts straight. Errors keep cropping up with growing frequency. Another example? No, Titanic was NOT the first ship with elevators or "lifts". The 1907 Cunard super-liners, RMS Lusitania and RMS Mauretania beat White Star to it. Indeed, it was Cunard's new (and the first) super-liners, nick-named fondly, "the Lucy" and "the Mary", that had sponsored the reason for Ismay and Pirrie to be discussing the White Star's competitive response to Cunard's new darlings of the Western Ocean. Ismay (President of the White Star Line and Managing Director of J.P. Morgan's new consolidation of nearly every major mercantile shipping line in Great Britain, into The International Mercantile Marine Company (founded in 1902).
the host is young and nervous. Remember when you were like that? Let's be kind and gracious as we correct the errors. i gotta do it all the time... in historical facts regarding north america. we're all learning..
@@keetahbrough To Keetah Brough- I agree with all you have pointed out, but I fail to see where I was disrespectful to this young host. He was not properly supported, nor rehearsed and an error is an error. I did in no way demean this young man, but I did, I believe offer constructive criticism. I can certainly accept an amateur, but his script was poorly written and had errors. The man is not a child, and certainly, the people behind this script should have worked a little longer and a little harder on the accuracy of the content and the polishing of the host's presentation. However, I do not think I was disrespectful.
Ive found two contradictions in the last few weeks while researching Titanic stuff. Some people think there was 16 lifeboats and others say there was 20 lifeboats. Some say the rockets were fired in 5 minute intervals, but lightoller says they were fired in 1 minute intervals.
fascination! my grandmother from the Netherlands talked about this drama to me as a young boy; she had relatives that died in the sinking of the Titanic
I enjoyed this video and I am so grateful and thankful for having had the opportunity to be part of this amazing exhibition, thank you! I also want to thank you because you have the ability to have subtitles in different languages and expand it to different people. Gracias!
When the Titanic began to sink on April 15, 1912, Father Thomas Byles, a Catholic priest, had two opportunities to board a lifeboat. But he forewent those opportunities, according to passengers aboard the sinking ocean liner, in order to hear confessions and offer consolation and prayers with those who were trapped aboard.
they had lights though lol so it was just about the flipping of a switch. thats all it's about. Ease is corruption although i see absolutely nobody knows that.

02:30 the meeting between Lord Pirrie & Bruce Ismay took place in July 1907 not May 1908 that conceived the Olympic class, although he might be referring to follow up meetings for extra input. You corrections are all to my knowledge correct but we don’t know for sure that the dome was unlit as no photos exist of the Titanic Grand Staircase dome only Olympic which we presume to be identical. If Britannic had an unlit dome then I’d be inclined to agree. For the casual viewer this was still a worthwhile video & gives them a good idea of the ship. The live broadcast can account for some of the minor detail errors like the lifeboat mixup.
@@thebradc oh yeah that was my first thought after this half assed, nervous as fuck, stumbling presentation *This guy has credibility* Did the cane do it for you?
@@louisemerriman1079 there is no evidence whatsoever to support anything along those lines. it matches neither Ismay’s nor Smith’s actions. it’s just a lazy conspiracy to support this whole “corporate greed” mess that’s often associated with this shipwreck. it’s bs.
21st....ah the dusting alone....I couldn't imagine the cleaning ...tho technically they never really got the chance to "clean it" for a New sailing......
So, the first class passengers had to pay in today's money $100,000 per ticket and they didn't even get to use the turkish baths and the deck chairs for free? Wow, what a ripoff. Surprised the smoke room didn't have an admittance fee.
Plenty of lifeboats!??? But 1500 people died on a ship that took over 2 hours to sink on a calm sea! Why does the tour guide say there were plenty of lifeboats!?
He means there was plenty enough to meet the regulations at the time, more in fact than required. Everyone knew there were not enough for everyone on board. This is the main reason the Olympic class designer, Alexander Carlisle, left White Star and retired, to be succeeded by Thomas Andrews, who satisfied Bruce Ismay and Lord Pirre's request to "not clutter the deck"
Sadly, again a lot of repetition of misinformation, much of it having been debunked long ago. No, the fourth funnel wasn't really a "dummy", it was a fully functional smokestack, just not connected to the boiler rooms like the first three. But it vented smoke and stale air from various areas of the galleys and engine rooms and was also a ventilator/air extractor for the ship's interior. The Titanic was NOT the first ship to have passenger elevators. Quite a few ships prior to the Olympic Class had them, most notably the Lusitania and Mauretania, among several others. However, the Olympic and Titanic are said to have been the first ships with a passenger elevator in 2nd Class. These are just a couple of the points that were wrong in this presentation, there are lots of others. With so much well-researched information about these ships available online and in book form, there's really no excuse for repeating the same falsehoods over and over again....
Hey men out there!!! Get your suits tailored. This guy narratings jacket is 2 sizes to big and pants 6 inches too long... It's inexpensive and makes all the difference. Js
shouldn't bring Titanic Artifact from out of the sea grave it belongs to people who lost their soul and shouldn't be disturbed, yes, it's nice to know the history of how Titanic lady ship was built, and to know what happened and so on, I think this age it's all about money (greed) ,, that just my opinion

There are so many factual common sense errors in this its laughable. Loved the tour of the smoking room while showing the dining room. Also Titanic was not the first ship to send an SOS. Amazing work all around.
My fascination with this ship will never grow old.

Some pretty unfortunate misstatements about some photos though like claiming the photo of Olympic's Grand Staircase is of Titanic's or the photo of *Olympic's* Smoking room or the photo of Olympic's propellers. Of course others have mentioned there were a few other misstatements throughout the video of dates and other facts. Unfortunate they couldn't more thoroughly research a script prior to filming.
How about the host? lol
I loved this video! Thank you guys for this. I can't wait to get Titanic Honor & Glory on VR.
I get a VR headset for that; be nice to check the ship out
Thank you for such a fascinating tour. Interesting and heartbreaking at the same time.
This is the first time I've ever thought about the Titanic and Idaho at the same time
It's always nice to learn about a ship sinking from the discovery center of a landlocked state.
Couldn't get past the first 10 minutes. The "tour guide" is a bit misinformed and right from the get go... he's talking about how it all started in 1908 when the display he's standing next to clearly says 1907... and then he says the life boats were cut back because of clutter when it was really because Pirrie noticed on the Olympic that people weren't using the upper promenades and wanted to make them more appealing to first class passengers by giving them more space and activities, hence the gymnasium (which he failed to mention)
This has been amazing!! Fabulous host - thank you.
Great video with solid narration, must have been hard live. Gave me a great feeling of the event. Thanks so much
It’s amazing that the Turkish bath is one of the most preserved parts of the wreck.
Absolutely Beautiful Video!
Great video it really brings to life the Titanic and you get to see in color the interior and it looks so real it’s like going back in time and being on board the great ship.
Titanic was NOT the first ship to have elevators or a swimming pool as stated in this video. Her sister ship Olympic was nearly identical and she was completed first.
Such a fascinating video! And the animation of the grand staircase is just WOW!
Imagine that all of the ship is sitting 21/2 miles down on the sea and it is stuck in about 40' of mud. All the treasures that have gone.
@@chuckking4188
the depth is 2.3 miles!
I think this is a lovely video.
I Loved the Tour, Although you did get a couple things wrong, if it's okay? I'm gonna list off them below.
1. The Number of Ships - You mentioned that Both Titanic and Olympic were Constructed Together as #401 and #400 respectively, Which was True, But Overall there were not only Two Ships, But Actually Three, and Each one had interesting Stories to tell over the years, During that dinner party that you mentioned, It was Proposed that a TRIO of ships were to Compete Against Cunard, Their Names were "RMS Olympic", "RMS Titanic", and "RMS Britannic", Britannic had the Number #455 and was Still under construction when Titanic went down, Construction was Halted for a couple months until it was resumed after modifications were made to the Blueprint that included multiple NEW safety Features,
Unfortunately, Britannic Never Entered Service for WSL due to the Outbreak of the First World War, Most Brittish Ocean Liners at the Time, During Wartime could be Requested by the Royal Navy to serve Secondary but Vital Military riles should the needs demand it, and that is Exactly what happened, She and Olympic would be Conscripted by the Admiralty, Britannic Not even being Completed as an Ocean liner when it happened, Olympic would be con vetted into and serve as a Troop Transport for the Duration of the War, Whilst britannic became the Opposite, A Hospital Ship, Taking Wounded Troops Home, Unfortunately, as I'll get to in a Moment, Only Olympic would make it home.
2. Olympic was First and the Last - Titanic had her Voyage in 1912 and was declared the largest ship at the Time, However, OLYMPIC Launched First in 1910 and having her Maiden Voyage on June 30th, 1911, and her voyage went off without a hitch and WSL Took Some notes off of Passenger Experiences on Olympic and implemented Changes based off those notes into Titanic during her Construction, The Same thing would've happened with Titanic and Britannic, had either sister had the chance,
This also Means That it was OLYMPIC That was the first to have Elevators, and that it should've been Olympic that was the first to have a Swimming Pool, but in fact Olympic was the Second Ship to have a Swimming Pool, as it was Another WSL Ship, the RMS Oceanic, That was Launched in 1899, that was the first ship with a Pool.
Olympic was a Year Older than Titanic, and had already made a name for herself as the "Largest Ship in the World", and has gotten herself into Trouble Twice, Both Times Delaying Titanic's Completion, First, Olympic Collided with a British Warship on the Start of her 6th Voyage in September 1911, The HMS Hawke, The Collision only Breached 2 Compartments on Olympic, But Did Severe Damage to the Hawke, Completely Destroying its Bow, But Both Ships would Survive and be Repaired (This inadvertently Strengthening the "Unsinkable" Reputation of both her and the Titanic, Which was still being fired out). and Secondly, on her way back from New York, Olympic Lost a Propeller Blade During a Bad Storm, and One had to be Donated from Titanic to replace the one that Olympic Lost.
Olympic was on her way back from New York when Titanic Struck the Iceberg, and Received her Distress calls, The Ship made way to Titanic at full Speed, but was still an hour and a Half Away when Carpathia Arrived to retrieve the Survivors, and on the Order of J. Bruce Ismay, Who Survived the Sinking, Was told to continue on and Not assist, Since Olympic and Titanic were of Identical Design, it would incite panic if Olympic Stopped to Help,
Following the Sinking of Titanic and a Mutiny that Broke out aboard ship over how many people died in Titanic's Engine and Boiler Rooms, Olympic was pulled from Service in October 1912 and underwent a major Refit, The Olympic a Double Hull installed, 44 Extra Lifeboats put on, and The Watertight Doors Heightened and Re-enforced, Also, The B-Deck Promenade, Which went mainly unused and was Never implemented on Titanic, was removed and Replaced with Extra Staterooms (First Class), The Parlor Suites, and The Cafe Parisean, Which Up Until This Point Olympic Never Had,
Unfortunately, Unlike on Olympic, Only the New Safety Measures would be implemented During Britannic's Construction, Britannic was never fitted with her Luxurious Fittings when she was requested for service as a Hospital.
3. HMHS Britannic "Titanic's Sunken Sister" - Britannic Never entered Service as an Ocean Liner, Only Launching mere Months before WW1 Broke Out, and at the Outbreak of the Gallipoli Campaign in November 1915 in Greece, She would be Requisitioned as a Hospital Ship and Enter Service on December 17th, 1915,
She Transported Thousands of Troops home during 1916, unfortunately, on her 6th Voyage on November 21st, 1916 off the Coast of the Greek Island of Kea, The Britannic Struck a Mine laid by a German U-Boat, The U-73, Her Crew Attempted to beach the Ship, but to No Avail, and after 30 Desperate People Launched Lifeboats without permission and got sucked into the Britannic's Exposed Propellers, The Order was given to Abandon Ship,
Britannic sank in 55 Minutes, Under a Third the Time it took her Older Sister to sank, However 1020 out of the 1050 Survived the Sinking, Thanks to the Extra Lifeboats aboard, and to the Aegean Sea.
But Only Olympic would Survive the War Unscathed, Despite having a More Dangerous Job than her younger sister and have Two Close Calls, One Having a Torpedo impact her and for it to have been a Dud, Not Going off, and The Second which made her Literally RUN DOWN a German U-Boat, the U-103, and Sink it after it failed to Fire Torpedoes AT HER due to Technical problems.
4. Oil Conversion, Golden Age, & Final Years of the RMS Olympic - Following her War Service, WSL Converted Olympic from Coal-Burning, to Oil-Burning, This Not only lessened the Maintenance on the Ship, But Also Made it so that it didn't require as much crew to operate below Decks, After the Conversion, Olympic Returned to WSL Service in 1919 and would be paired with the Then-Largest Ship in the World, the RMS Majestic (Formerly SS Bismarck, a German Imperator-Class Ocean Liner That was, following the German Defeat, Taken as a War Reparation, and was Bought from the British Government by WSL to Replace the, Now-Lost, HMHS Britannic), and for the Next 10 Years would Prosper, Carrying Many Famous Icons of the Day, Such as Members of the Royal Family, To Famous Movie-Stars of the Day Such as Charlie Chaplain.
and from Time to Time, Olympic would go on "Booze Cruises" To Satisfy her American Passengers, Who Booked Round-Trip Tickets, just to get Legally Drunk during Prohibition. But Nothing good Lasts Forever, in the 1930's Everyone was suffering because of the Depression, and After a Forced Merger with Cunard in order to Complete the Then Under-Construction RMS Queen Mary,Many Older Ships of Both Companies were gradually retired, including Olympic, But not before Accidentally ramming and Sinking a Lightship in May 1934,
in 1935, after 24 years of Loyal Service, Olympic was Towed to Jarrow, Scotland, Alongside her biggest Rival, the RMS Mauritania, and was Sold For Scrap, But for some of her fittings, That wasn't the End, as Her fittings were Auctioned off as she was being Scrapped, and some of those fittings still exist today, the largest collection of which is in a Hotel in England that has a Complete recreation of the Olympic's First-Class Lounge with all her fittings, you can see what Titanic's lounge might've looked like in person if you had the time to visit the UK.
when watching these reconstruction videos, it's hard to remember it's a SHIP! And to think that all that luxury was lost on its first trip. Not to mention all the lives.
And today it still gains notirarity and I'm proud to say that it still does
I've been blessed to attend 3 different Titanic Exhibits in 3 different states in addition to having the privilege of visiting the Titanic Museum in Belfast, Ireland where the ship was made and launched. The museum gives a great history of trade and commerce of Belfast before Titanic too. Now I'm about to watch this wonderful show that took place in Idaho. Belfast took a great emotional and economic devistation when the ship went down with so many of the men (brothers, sons, husbands, fathers) from Belfast being lost.

BEST Documentary Best Presenter On Titanic Ever Thoroughly Enjoyed every Mniute 👏
Cringe all the way through but the finale was the most cringe of all.
A very interesting and well presented video.
I know this video was from 2 years ago but this is just to correct the misconception that the photo shown with the exposed propellers are of Olympic (photo was from 1929) and not of Titanic. Titanic never had a 4-bladed central turbine propeller.
No doubt she was indeed a very beautiful Ship!
Thank you very much for the video. It was very interesting!
Amazing to see this! So sad that this amazing ship had only, not even, 1 run. I wish the ship would still be here... Amazing to see how modern it was, the sauna, turkish bads. A pool?? I never knew they had that.
Well, the host of this Idaho-based Discovery Center, certainly gave it his best try, but the expenditure of a few hundred dollars should have been considered for a professional announcer. If nothing else, the host might have been better supported by an expert on the Titanic and a professional scriptwriter. It is clear our host is not all that comfortable with the proper terms for various areas of any ship, and alas from almost his first words concerning the birth of the concept for Titanic (and Olympic and Britannic) took place at Lord Pirrie's (a Canadian born man who was elevated by King Edward VII to the Irish Peerage) London, Mayfair residence in the Spring of...no, not 1908, but rather 1907. Had our spokesman so much as looked up at the poster in front of him, the numerals 1907 were staring him in the face. (no doubt caused by LIVE original broadcast nerves. Alas the research folks at the Discovery Center, should have spent a wee bit more time on getting their facts straight. Errors keep cropping up with growing frequency. Another example? No, Titanic was NOT the first ship with elevators or "lifts". The 1907 Cunard super-liners, RMS Lusitania and RMS Mauretania beat White Star to it. Indeed, it was Cunard's new (and the first) super-liners, nick-named fondly, "the Lucy" and "the Mary", that had sponsored the reason for Ismay and Pirrie to be discussing the White Star's competitive response to Cunard's new darlings of the Western Ocean. Ismay (President of the White Star Line and Managing Director of J.P. Morgan's new consolidation of nearly every major mercantile shipping line in Great Britain, into The International Mercantile Marine Company (founded in 1902).
the host is young and nervous. Remember when you were like that? Let's be kind and gracious as we correct the errors. i gotta do it all the time... in historical facts regarding north america. we're all learning..
@@keetahbrough To Keetah Brough- I agree with all you have pointed out, but I fail to see where I was disrespectful to this young host. He was not properly supported, nor rehearsed and an error is an error. I did in no way demean this young man, but I did, I believe offer constructive criticism. I can certainly accept an amateur, but his script was poorly written and had errors. The man is not a child, and certainly, the people behind this script should have worked a little longer and a little harder on the accuracy of the content and the polishing of the host's presentation. However, I do not think I was disrespectful.
@@keetahbrough He was nice. Have you frequented the internet much? The creator is lucky they haven't been utterly *roasted* in the comments.
1901 was the beginning of the 20th century, Discovery Center.
Ive found two contradictions in the last few weeks while researching Titanic stuff.
Some people think there was 16 lifeboats and others say there was 20 lifeboats.
Some say the rockets were fired in 5 minute intervals, but lightoller says they were fired in 1 minute intervals.
Steven---I have been told that the best Titanic movie is "A night to remember," which was made in the 1950s. You might want to check it out.
fascination! my grandmother from the Netherlands talked about this drama to me as a young boy; she had relatives that died in the sinking of the Titanic
Technically collapsible A and B were floated off as she started her final plunge.

Gorgeous ship.
I enjoyed this video and I am so grateful and thankful for having had the opportunity to be part of this amazing exhibition, thank you! I also want to thank you because you have the ability to have subtitles in different languages and expand it to different people. Gracias!
very well done, bravo!

Awesome work
When the Titanic began to sink on April 15, 1912, Father Thomas Byles, a Catholic priest, had two opportunities to board a lifeboat. But he forewent those opportunities, according to passengers aboard the sinking ocean liner, in order to hear confessions and offer consolation and prayers with those who were trapped aboard.
Third class cost was from $350-900 in today's money. $40 was the cost in 1912. (American dollars) Depending on the number of beds in each cabin.
very sad ending, but a lot of fun beforehand is all that matters! :}
Just to think that back then, most of the homes of passengers had little or no electricity, & then to be on an oceanliner where it was everywhere
they had lights though lol so it was just about the flipping of a switch. thats all it's about. Ease is corruption although i see absolutely nobody knows that.
a bit of misinformation scattered throughout, but it looks nice nonetheless.
RELAX.

3:50 - a common mistake. contrary to the public’s “4th funnel was fake” belief, the 4th funnel *did,* in fact, have multiple very important ventilation purposes. it vented poor air from the turbine engine room, the galley stoves, the smoking room fireplace, as well as other machinery spaces. it also housed an important crew passage.

But he has some credibility and you make RUclips comments
@@thebradc and that…somehow changes the facts?
02:30 the meeting between Lord Pirrie & Bruce Ismay took place in July 1907 not May 1908 that conceived the Olympic class, although he might be referring to follow up meetings for extra input. You corrections are all to my knowledge correct but we don’t know for sure that the dome was unlit as no photos exist of the Titanic Grand Staircase dome only Olympic which we presume to be identical. If Britannic had an unlit dome then I’d be inclined to agree.
For the casual viewer this was still a worthwhile video & gives them a good idea of the ship. The live broadcast can account for some of the minor detail errors like the lifeboat mixup.

*I DON'T TRUST AIRPLANES AND SHIPS. AS SAFE AS THEY MAY APPEAR.*
Olympic came before Titanic... So, was it not Olympic the first ship to have lifts/elevators?
The Royal Yacht ‘Victoria & Albert’ was the first ship to have an elevator, launched in 1900.
Lego has a Titanic to build....( a bit pricey but it is a big ship)
21st....ah the dusting alone....I couldn't imagine the cleaning ...tho technically they never really got the chance to "clean it" for a New sailing......
Titanic engine cylinder engineering boiler
Did Olympic have elevators or Britannic
I’ll never get over the fact that Rose let Jack freeze to death when it was enough room on that thing for the both of them 😒
We all breathed a sigh of relief when Leonardo FINALLY disappeared. Getting rid of him was worth the loss of a few passengers as collateral damage.
So, the first class passengers had to pay in today's money $100,000 per ticket and they didn't even get to use the turkish baths and the deck chairs for free? Wow, what a ripoff. Surprised the smoke room didn't have an admittance fee.

Easily the best tour of the Titanic ever.
Well presented!!
Plenty of lifeboats!??? But 1500 people died on a ship that took over 2 hours to sink on a calm sea! Why does the tour guide say there were plenty of lifeboats!?
He means there was plenty enough to meet the regulations at the time, more in fact than required. Everyone knew there were not enough for everyone on board. This is the main reason the Olympic class designer, Alexander Carlisle, left White Star and retired, to be succeeded by Thomas Andrews, who satisfied Bruce Ismay and Lord Pirre's request to "not clutter the deck"
They only barely launched the last lifeboats before sinking.
So explain how more would have helped
Olympik had a swimming pool also
Enjoyed the tour but not the narrator. He seemed extremely unprepared and unsure of what to say thru out most of the presentation.
How close did the Titannic get to Idabo? ANY actual association with Idaho?
……….no
She never even made it to the United States. Are you joking?
I was there
Don’t see an obvious limp. Why does he need a cane/walking stick?
6:26 does anyone know what the music is called?
Titanic was not the first ship to use S.O.S
22:12 There's a screamer in that left window )
Don’t see it
6:26 to 8:28 best scene!
oi! museum! SS stands for screw steamer
it’s upsetting he keeps saying plenty of boats when it obviously wasn’t…
Maybe, He means there was plenty of boats for the people who really mattered (rich)
Sadly, again a lot of repetition of misinformation, much of it having been debunked long ago. No, the fourth funnel wasn't really a "dummy", it was a fully functional smokestack, just not connected to the boiler rooms like the first three. But it vented smoke and stale air from various areas of the galleys and engine rooms and was also a ventilator/air extractor for the ship's interior.
The Titanic was NOT the first ship to have passenger elevators. Quite a few ships prior to the Olympic Class had them, most notably the Lusitania and Mauretania, among several others. However, the Olympic and Titanic are said to have been the first ships with a passenger elevator in 2nd Class.
These are just a couple of the points that were wrong in this presentation, there are lots of others. With so much well-researched information about these ships available online and in book form, there's really no excuse for repeating the same falsehoods over and over again....

12:37 - while it’s true that private bathrooms weren’t standard at the time, and that 1st class used communal toilets and showers, there were however 12 cabins on C deck and two cabins on A deck did *not* have to share their bathrooms.
15:06 - 3rd class bunks were *wood,* not steel.
15:23 - while single men & women were separated, families and married couples were *not.*
18:00 - it’s implied that this is a photograph of Titanic. that is a photograph of Olympic, as there are no known photographs of Titanic’s main 1st class staircases (same with that newspaper he reads. the paper is describing Olympic, since that was the more famous one until Titanic sank).
23:56 - completely false. it seems he’s forgotten about the Olympic. ;)
27:52 - the dome was *not* artificially illuminated in any way. that was merely speculation, and there’s no supporting documentation for it.
28:14 - the smoking room wasn’t strictly men only. women weren’t prohibited, but were heavily discouraged from entering, as women smoking was considered improper at the time.
29:03 - the photo is, again, of the Olympic being passed off as Titanic.
34:00 - behind that wall was the uptake casing and passage for the 4th funnel (furthering my point that it was *not* fake). the liquor storage and pantry was behind the wall on the *opposite* side of the room.
39:24 - again, completely false. not only did the Olympic have an identical swimming bath around a year earlier, but the RMS Adriatic, another White Star Liner launched in 1907, had one even earlier.
40:51 - the engines were *not* reversed during the collision. they were simply ordered “all stop”.
45:27 - boat 7 contained around 28 people. boat *1* had 12.
46:00 - the last wireless message received by Carpathia from Titanic was “Come as quickly as possible OM engine room flooded up to the boilers”. the last message that *anyone* received from Titanic was simply “CQD DE MGY”
47:08 - the bridge went under at around 2:10 am, not 1:10 am.
47:15 - Harold Bride wasn’t sending the messages. John Phillips was.
47:20 - Titanic was *not* the first ship to use SOS. the first recorded usage of SOS in a maritime disaster was in 1909.
47:37 - there’s no evidence the dome actually collapsed like it’s often portrayed.
47:57 - not only did he say the split happened at 2:20 (it happened at 2:17), he says it broke between the 3rd & 4th funnel, which is now proven to be very inaccurate.
48:20 - 4 people were saved from the water, not 6 (unfortunately).
48:33 - there were 712 survivors, not 705.
@@DerpyPossum very impressive that you have this detailed knowledge. I noticed a few of your points in presentation. Overall though I enjoyed seeing the virtual ship. Funnily enough I just rewatched Titanic recently
Don't be so hard on yourself
Please don't support any smugly presented media material, as opposed to actual productive wage paying work.
I love giving troubled youth jobs. Good job. Titanic did not have the first elevator or lift on a ship however, Lusitania and Mauretania did.
There are so many factual common sense errors in this its laughable. Loved the tour of the smoking room while showing the dining room. Also Titanic was not the first ship to send an SOS. Amazing work all around.
I cringed more at the dude talking
