@@reloadpsi Youre right,thats what im saying,that movie is so brilliant its outstanding,but this is a video for Titanic herself and her real passangers,so i would prefer someone would focus on that rather on "Jack draws rose on this day" and such
ReloadPsi I agree with what you mean completely, but I think AJS means this is the real titanic while Rose wasn’t actually on the titanic. I guess AJS comment was pretty off topic and it is a good line
The weather was Diamond Dust that night according to one documentary I saw. That would have made visibility very low, even though it looks clear. Diamond Dust is a real problem today, but wasn't a known phenomenon in 1912. Its basically when the air is filled with tiny frozen water droplets. So small, their near microscopic. This would explain why Titanic couldn't see the ice berg until it was too late.
107 years ago, history was made. I shall definitely be here for the LIVE STREAM tonight! I just hope that I don't fall asleep before 2:20 am tomorrow morning! The team at Titanic: Honor and Glory are making the historic event happen right before our eyes!
@@Daniel_Huffman Thanks, Daniel. I was aware of Titanic's call sign. I have studied this ship and her history for about 38 years now, having been fortunate enough to have met a few of the actual survivors in person before their final 'journeys.' Also met Mr. Walter Lord ( have both of his Titanic books signed by him) and Dr. Robert Ballard (who also signed the first of Mr. Lord's books for my collection!).
I am just realizing how close they were to NY when it had sank (not bad since the speed of the ship was about 25 mph). The ship sank on the outskirts of southeastern Canada. No wonder the water was so cold during those nights in April. They should’ve waited til at least May or June for the maiden voyage
I really feel for Phillips. He worked extra hard for such a long period of time, and then he has to work even longer and more frantically to send distress signals. And in the end he ends up dying as well. If I recall correctly, an ice warning that was recieved but not delivered was because there is a particular header a message is supposed to have when its a priority message from another ship to be delivered to the bridge or captain and this warning did not include that foreword, (and that could have been the Californian's message but I dont remember).
It was _Mesaba's,_ at 9:38 PM. _Californian's_ message from 10:55 PM (less than an hour before the collision and less than twenty miles away) wasn't even copied down. Phillips just told Evans to fuck off and go to bed, and that's exactly what Evans did.
I cannot thank you enough for your channel. Over the past couple of years the information you painstaking research and share turns on another light that illuminates this 107 year old disaster a little more. As such, those involved become more human, not just a name in history books and movies. If forces one to ask “what would I have done that night? How would I have reacted? With stoic bravery, stunned silence, uncontrolled panic...? I think of parents trying to comfort their children knowing they are not going to survive the night despite wearing a life vest. I think of the survivors in the lifeboats listening to the screams of the dying in the water knowing their loved one was among those suffering a slow, painful, horrific death. And then the silence that followed. Every single person on the Titanic had a story. This channel brings all that and so much more into focus. Thank you for your unprecedented research.
I want to take a moment and just appreciate the ship lights reflecting off the iceberg as it passed by. That was phenomenally well done and quite beautiful.
One thing about Phillips brushing off the final warning from "Californian" that is rarely mentioned is HOW Evans attempted it.It was considered a standard practice if you were attempting to contact another vessel that was in communication with someone else, to tap out a request to 'break-in' to their communication. It was the Marconi equivalent of putting up your hand before talking. Cyril Evans didn't do this. He just barged right in with the ice message. That was likely what upset Phillips: that Evans was violating operator's protocols so thoughtlessly. Evans later admitted he had erred in not asking to cut in first. That was why he took no real offence from Phillips' response: he knew that he himself had screwed up in a really basic way and likely had earned the rebuke.
Hope not to miss it! So many sad things and incredible stories of heroism and courage that happened that night, RIP Titanic's passengers and crew lost 😞
In S.O.S Titanic, with Susan St. James and David Warner , David's character asked a deck steward if there would be a lifeboat drill and the guy replied, Normally, *"I'd say Yes, but in the case of the Titanic, she's one huge great lifeboat herself."*
In a minor defense of the Californian, one note made their message unique - everyone else had reported the ice, but for the first time, a ship was stopped by it. Now, agreed, Phillips was overworked, exhausted and had just almost had his eardrums blown out by Californian’s spark, she was so close. So the irritability is understood. And let’s be fair, if nothing else had happened that night, it could be just written off as yet another ice warning. Except it was the last. And it was different.
Massive applause for the videos you're posting on this formidable channel! I love the effort you're putting in to it while developing the game! Historical education at it's finest! 👏👏👏💯💯💯👌👌👌
I'm loving these updates, so fascinating to hear what was going on day to day. I really got interested in The Titanic when my friend told me his great-great uncle was Wallace Hartley! The scary thing is, he looks like his twin but with lighter hair that's all. Anyway, great videos and I look forward to the live stream.
Did my eyes deceive me of that collision render was there light coming from the punctures in the hull? If so wow ... you guys know how to show your passion!
It’s already 5:15pm here in the UK so I’ll probably have to catch up on your new Real Time sinking tomorrow. As for tonight, I’m gonna stick with my original plan of having both your original sinking video and the 1997 Titanic movie on at the same time.
The last day she ever saw daylight. If one thinks about it had they done the Lifeboat drill the iceberg that was floating in Titanic's path might have floated away harmlessly by the time Titanic reached the spot. Because I don't know how many hours it would have taken for the lifeboats to lower and then be raised up again but surely it would be enough to prevent disaster.
@Louise X Binoculars wouldn't have worked. That's one of the misconceptions about the whole thing. They are used for inspecting an object and not detecting one. Binoculars wouldn't have helped. And yes I have seen the footage.
@@bOObies2 I kinda thought that, in the context of the situation. Don't think Philps was right, (all warnings of Ice SHOULD have been taken seriously) But we know that NOW. I don't know if even the CAPTAIN (Smith) was too worried about it. Hindsight is 20/20
Will bring up the collision tonight on Twitter. Really looking forward to seeing the updated sinking (btw, saw your latest postcard; the smoke now looks FANTASTIC: now it's just the water that needs fixing, and from there, it should be smooth sailing animation-wise :)! It begins....
Joe K ...I totally ignored there were ships with the names of Italian regions. I am from Lucania (now commonly called “Basilicata”), while Campania is the name of Naple’s region. Wow.
Its Only me who is crazy about the fact that Game of Thrones was Shot at the Titanic Studios (Where titanic was Built) and the show first episode will be today?!
It’s now 2:20 am in the UK. Exactly 107 years ago the Titanic plunged under the surface of the ocean. Over 1500 people are left to drown in the freezing water. What’s even more creepy is it’s the exact same day (Monday) that she sank aswell.
HAHA, i have easter break so i will be away from school for a week. lol. But sad for you and sorry that i laughed at you at the beginning of this message, plz don't kill me.
I wondered that. They certainly had the technology (even if incandescent bulbs weren't yet sufficiently bright, lighthouses had been using kerosene lamps, parabolic reflectors and Fresnel lenses for years). Seems surprising that such a high-tech ship was still reliant on a lookout with a pair of field glasses.
Also on this day: a while before the collision, first class passenger James met Alec seidelmann, James' cabin neighbor. Alec did not survive the disaster.
You guys ROCK!!! OMG! I'll be there. Sad, but EXCELLENT WORK. If I had the MONEY to help out, you guys would get a PILE of it! This is AMAZING work! What got you so interested in this ship?!
it'll be too late for me where I live for the live stream, but promise I'll watch the video in the next few days :-) ..and Game of Thrones is starting..
Imagine if they did do a lifeboat drill, would the iceberg have drifted out of the Titanic's path? What would the Titanic's fate have been then; torpedoed during WW1, scrapped in the 30s, or even survived into preservation. It's strange how massive historical events hang on the thinnest little thread of time.
Bruce Ismay's fault, he persuaded smith to light last boilers and speed up, then the coward jumped into a lifeboat and lived. HE should have gone down with the captain in honor
It was common practice to sail at speed near ice in those days since they used the logic that they would be in less danger by spending less time near ice. Express liners also had a schedule to keep to and valued punctuality ,slowing down for ice would disrupt their timekeeping. Films seem to like to blame Smith. He actually did heed the ice warnings by taking a course to avoid it and ordering that he be summoned to the bridge should ice or ice like conditions be seen. Phillips' failure to pass along the ice warnings received in the hours leading up to the collision contributed to the bridge crew's false sense of safety. Ismay did not persuade Smith to do anything. That's a myth created by James Cameron for his film.
Respect for mentioning the catholic and protestant divisions. Thank God we are not in a state of discrimination now in Ireland and all sides are respected.
Hmmm, what about the theory that Murdock saw the iceberg before Fleet... There is one thing that contradicts that theory. And this is the testimony of the quartermaster Robert Hichens. He claimed that his watch was "uneventful" before 20 minutes before midnight, when the bell was heard from the crow's nest. I know his reputation is not good, since he was the guy who had a fight with Molly Brown in boat 6. But anyway he was the only survivor of those who were on the bridge during the collision. Too bad Murdock and Moody died, and they were not able to testify. IMHO, somebody between Fleet and Murdock made a mistake. I mean, captain Smith ordered to the watch officer Lightoller to be notified if the conditions change. At least half an hour before the collision the conditions DID CHANGE, a haze was noticed on the horizon. But captain Smith WAS NOT notified about this, so...
Rayno Raynov they keep ignoring Hitchens testimony and I cannot understand why. Their hypothesis is interesting but it could be much more valid if they say why they are ignoring that conflicting testimony...
Strange fact: Kim Il Sung, first leader of North Korea was born at the same time when Titanic has sunk. Today north Korean calendar is counted from 15 April 1912.
... so much detail.
as a kid, before this ship was found, I read every book I could find about the titanic (sometimes twice) ... and I never learned half as much detail as this guy uncovered.

Have you read the book by Walter Lord "A Night To Remember" ?
Paulie Duguay no, a night to remember is fiction based on true events.

I'm surprised no ships of that time didn't have searchlights mounted on the front of them to prevent accidents like the one Titanic had.
I wondered that. They certainly had the technology (even if incandescent bulbs weren't yet sufficiently bright, lighthouses had been using kerosene lamps, parabolic reflectors and Fresnel lenses for years). Seems surprising that such a high-tech ship was still reliant on a lookout with a pair of field glasses.
Anybody else get hammered while watching the real time sinking just because? Just me?? Lol 🍻

If they took their time 1500 souls wouldn't have suffered a terrible fate and the captain only listened to the ice warning.
Bruce Ismay's fault, he persuaded smith to light last boilers and speed up, then the coward jumped into a lifeboat and lived. HE should have gone down with the captain in honor
It was common practice to sail at speed near ice in those days since they used the logic that they would be in less danger by spending less time near ice. Express liners also had a schedule to keep to and valued punctuality ,slowing down for ice would disrupt their timekeeping.

Strange fact: Kim Il Sung, first leader of North Korea was born at the same time when Titanic has sunk. Today north Korean calendar is counted from 15 April 1912.
