The Titanic's troubles begin with her very name. Titanic is the adjective for Titan, and the Titans in Greek mythology were a race who waged war against Zeus, the so-called "god of gods." This is the part of the story that seems familiar to quite a few. The part that seems unknown to most, shipowners at the time included, is that - guess what - the Titans lost. So, the Titanic was eventually defeated by her very name, as it were - and during her maiden voyage, at that .
16:22 Evidence has come to light that the Titanic also rode, if only for a bit, on the berg; the double bottom was damaged at boiler room 4 and water seeped in through the resulting hole.
What was the Titanic's eventual destination? New York. What was the name of the ship she almost collided with? Of all names - New York. Isn't that quite something
The Titanic did get her share of attention and publicity but it was mostly together with the Olympic which was after all the older sister so she was the one that got the bulk of the attention and publicity
Okay you have two sheets of metal held together by rivets, surely there has to be some sort of sealant between the plates. Rivets on their own wouldn't make a watertight joint. Another thing thinking you better than Nature or God is kind of inviting disaster. The exhibition is well worth the visit.
This overdramatic intros always... the biggest bla bla most luxurious bla bla Oceanliner of the century blabla... just one month after Titanic maiden voyage the Imperator Class launched, much bigger, much more luxurious (just compare things like the swimming pool) and technological advanced. Without Titanic sinking nobody would remember this vessel today.
How come "weak rivets" still hold the hull of the wreck? How come the exact same materials never caused structural issues on Olympic. Olympic had little to no hull maintenance throughout the 24 year career.

This was the most detailed documentry of building the Titanic I've ever seen! Well done!
Amazing!!
Best titanic video ever!
Thank you so much for your nice comment!
Absolutely the best Titanic video I have ever seen!! Thank you very much!
I know hey there's lots of quality Titanic footage here on RUclips it's just a matter of knowing how to sift through stuff
Well done. Thanks for sharing.
tyvm for this upload

Excellent video! Thanks.
If it floats it sinks.. 👍
Or like someone commented on the other doc "If you think your ship is unsinkable then what happens is the unthinkable"

Fun fact!
Most of the footage seen here is mainly the Olympic represented as Titanic

When steel cools it shrinks.
This means the rivets shrank after installation.
The fate of Titanic was already sealed when the crew/people said that not even GOD could sink the ship
Rivets and cold water makes metal do funny things then throw a house of a iceberg
"Throw a house of an iceberg" ...
Is that a fairy at 37:44??
I know It's easy to think of one when you see that

Toobad they used weak rivets
No they did not... Harland & Wolff was one of the best shipyards at the time they would not use "Weak rivets"

Your mum likes weak rivets
