This is the very finest, commercial grade, video I have ever seen on the subject. I do hope it was picked up by companies like PBS or that they get a chance to look at what you can do and have you do some more work for them. Yes I did subscribe immediately
@@JimCutlerPeople do love each other. Why would anyone take the time to identify perfect strangers they never knew of with DNA evidence that died in 1912? ❤
All of the selfish materialistic conservatism is just fear.
This is fascinating. My mother's maiden last name was Jones. And our middle name is Elizabeth. One gentleman was going to work in Niagara Falls, NY, where I live.
Rip
And There Was A 3 People Called The Danbies That Survived The Titanic (They Missed The Ship) But Sadly Perished At Sobibor The Holocaust But Only The Daughters Survived 😭😭😭😭😭
Mr And Mrs Danby And His Mom Missed The Ship But Not So Lucky Where They Were Sent To Sobibor And Didnt Survive The Holocaust And Their Kid Survived The Holocaust 😟😟😟😭😭😭😭
Heartbreaking learning about the 2 closest ships ignoring the Titanics fire signals. Just imagine the lives they could have saved 💔
Yes
The California decided to ignore the distrass call from the Titanic after the earlier cockiness by ignoring their iceberg warnings
@@lauraalba7151The first one, the captain literally. Said will you stop trying to contact me? I'm trying to g****** sleep.
Pretty sure there's more to the story, but yeah, tragic. Even Carapathia was too far away to arrive before the final plunge began. Check out Oceanliner Designs' numerous videos on this and other shipwrecks throughout history.
The California didn't "ignore" them, they got insulted and said alright then we're going to bed 🤷♀️ and then turned off their coms for the night.
Third class bodies recovered were tossed to the sea while second class and above bodies were preserved to be returned home for a proper burial. That is so messed up, my god
It’s so sad I cry when I heard about the little girl & her camera . I can’t believe that little thing took pictures of the people being saved on the titanic 😭😭😭😭😭 thank you for sharing such a wonderful video
The little boy holding the newspaper report died aged 18 in ww1! If only be knew bless him :(
I live in Halifax and have been to this cemetery 2 or 3 times. It really is amazing to see the headstones & reflect on that horrible night.
i am born and raised in Halifax. i have been in that graveyard over 1000 times . we would walk threw there everyday or hangout there at night time
ThanksfordoingthatimfromusayouRea
Great person canadausgood
😭
Even in death, they are sorted n dived by class, but when we stand before God, we will all be judged the same,
AMEN . The last SHALL be First .
Bless them ALL. 😔💔
Yes so sad
Yeah, I have three ancestors who died on the Titanic. They were John Finland, his wife, Nancy Finland, and my great grandfather's brother, Frederick Finland.
As my grandmother told me, John was from Berlin, Germany and had heard from a friend that there would be a chance for their families to go to America.
He had saved up his money, and arrived just in time to board the Titanic.
During the sinking, as the women and children were racing to get on a lifeboat, my great grandfather, who was at the time a 6 year old, had followed a lady wearing similar clothing as his mother, and was carrying her baby. So, he unknowingly followed some random lady who looked like his mother onto a lifeboat, surviving the Titanic.
He lived with the lady and her baby until he was taken away into a new family. Soon after, he was told that the woman he had been calling his mother, wasn't his real mother. He grew depressed but luckily around the time he met my great grandmother, it had faded away. They later had 5 children, including my grandmother. Then, my grandmother had my mother, and she had me!
Tysm for reading my family's story.
@@Mistyeyez2024 Thank you for Sharing alil of your Family's memories .
Much Respect . Bless you and your family , Glad you ALL are Here . . 🤠🖖

My cousins lived near this graveyard. We would visit them when I was a kid and I had this strange fascination with wandering through graveyards back in those days. We used to have a competition to see who could find the oldest headstone. Needless to say, this was one of the more memorable graveyards I wandered through. May God accept the souls of this tragic event and all the dearly departed into His kingdom.
My great aunt and her brother were booked on the Titanic. He got sick so they had to book a later ship. He must not have completely recovered because he died on the voyage over, leaving my poor little great aunt all by herself on the rest of the trip, grieving the loss of her little brother alone, and then entering the chaos of Ellis Island. She never talked about it. She was quite a wonderful woman. Died in the 1970s and I still miss her. God bless you, Bebe.
😔.. GOD Bless her indeed.
You a liar
This makes no sense to me - how you wrote it. (??)
@@letitbesummer6536 A sister and brother were "to be, passengers on the Titanic. The brother became ill before it sailed, they had to cxl. They later booked another ship, he was not fully recovered and passed on that voyage. In those days if you passed "during" a voyage, the deceased were thrown overboard. It's not surprising the sister could not speak about it bc it would've been devastating to say the least. Hope that helps you understand.
A blessing and a nightmare at the same time for ur family god .. Rest their souls
I've seen so many Titanic videos and stories, but this by far is the best one. Thank you for sharing and to the little girl with the camera.
I love titanic
Wow to the little girl with the camera. Unbelievable!
I give that guy credit, not only does he find the missing Sub's he was tasked with but also the Titanic. Must've been a good year for him.
Rip to all that passed away!
"Imagine looking at your kids knowing what is coming " I felt it, as I Mom how helpless must you feel? RIP 🙏 🕊
A titanic video where I actually learned something new?! I didn't think it was possible 💗 this was absolutely stunning
1000% Agree!!!! OUTSTANDING!!
Same.
That is true. A lot of things we hear about Titanic is repeated over and over again.
@@JimCutler it shows
If you really want your mind blown, get the book, kid by the side of the road, by Juan o’Savin. Your life will never be the same
I’ve been to the Halifax cemetery where the victims of the Titanic are buried. It’s a moving experience. Even in death the victims of third class are treated without respect. Unconscionable and tragic. All the bodies should have either received coffins for burial on land or all buried at sea.
Even after all these years this story is still so upsetting. Thank you for this video.
Yes it is....also the uss Arizona is heartbreaking as well.
They did a Probability Study of the SS Californian rescuing all the passengers off the Titanic, And Found it Couldnt be done..! if they were able too rescue one passenger every 10 seconds For 2 hours that would only be 720 lives saved..! and By the time the California would have arrived it would have far less time than 2 hours to save them ..the Californian was a major part of this Tragic drama.. more studies should be Brought too light too let every one ponder this fact..
@@dancingtrout6719 Wow You know a lot about that subject. Cool.The water was so cold. Horrible thing to say but once a human got into that water that said person would not have much time to live. The water was much too cold. By the way your "name" is really, I don't know I like it. It is different.🙂
@@FlowerPower-bl7qp you can fill your bath tub and get a temperature gauge and get the water too the same degrees.,, and lie in it for 5 minutes .. and see what it was like
Yeah,. So many years ago and still Devastating.. Especially learning Much More Details etc..
I need to visit this graveyard one day. My great great uncle, Frederick Woodford, is buried there. He was a Greaser.
My father was buried in a graveyard... He was a fry-cook.
This was a great video. I can't believe that history failed to mention the lives of the people who went down.
It seems everyone that has ever stepped aboard Titanic has lost their lives in one way or another... Someone should really look into that!
This was a sacrifice
And they definitely don't speak about Those other Ships who could have Helped that Ship & those People... I didn't even know about Ships turning off their Radios and doing Illegal Ish.
A great many mistakes - imagine getting a bill for you son's uniform !!
Absolute disgrace.
I love how you put a lot of effort in this video from storytelling to editing plus how you pay respect to the victims.
I was in Halifax while in the US Navy, standing on the pier I became so overcome from the spirits of those who had passed that I could simply not breathe. So sad.
My Mom told me that her Mother' Mother remembered hearing about this tragedy. It definitely went world wide. May those souls still rest in peace.
Thank-you for telling a non-biased narrative of the Titanic...recognizing everyone as "equal" despite their economic status. RIP to all the victims❤
Thank you for paying tribute to these people, excellent video!!
Agreed... 🙏👍🙏
I live in Mount Carmel. Pennsylvania, a small coal mining community. We have a victim and a survivor of the Titanic buried in a local cemetery. They are however buried in unmarked graves to keep it private. You can read the stories of both men in our hometown newspapers. The survivor eventually came here to work but unfortunately, was killed in a mining accident.
Wow I live in Elysburg. I didn’t know that. How amazing. I have been a Titanic study for a very long time. I will need to look into this. Thank you.
@@mf_explosive304 Sadly, you will hit a brick wall for information. I reported on it as I was doing my research and is in my Mount Carmel book which is out of publication. I spent 12 years reading 104 years of local newspapers to get all my true stories in the book. I then spent another 5 years photographing every headstone in all 11 cemeteries around Mount Carmel and posted them them on Findagrave. I am also a member of the conservatives of the Titanic and was able to obtain a small piece of coal brought up from the bottom of the ocean.
Now here’s the problems you’ll run into. The cemetery they were interred in is naturally public but the church records concerning both men are lost to time. All the church can tell you is they were buried in a certain section, like #8 say, but the exact location in that large section is still unknown. Since I photographed every conceivable place they could be, they’re still lost to time.
I can tell you this, the victim was coming here to live with an uncle in Kulpmont Pennsylvania. He was identified by personal affects in his clothing. The other man who survived was probably ashamed he ended up in a lifeboat, like in the movie, where men were supposed to die. So he changed his name, heard about coal mining jobs in our area and headed here. Unfortunately, mining is a very dangerous occupation down in the mines and on the surface where he was killed. If you wish other information, contact me.
RUclipsr faces of the forgotten will find em
@@jerrybrown7250 I don’t know how, they’re in unmarked graves and I photographed every part of the cemetery. The records have been lost and only the stories about them are the only information available. The uncle of the victim never placed a marker on his grave and he’s been dead maybe 75 years with no known relatives. The sister of the survivor disputed his claim of being her brother and had changed his name because he didn’t want to be found for some unknown reason. If he was her brother, his name was on the roster of passengers but his body was never found after the sinking. Before any kind of White Star investigation could be made, he ended up coming to our community and was killed within days of being here, so the matter was dropped. I’m about to take my final journey home to be with my family, since I’m the last of 11 children, two wives and one daddy. Thanks for the post.
@@robertmiller3810 he wanted not to be found but he died so quickly tho... strange coincidence.. or maybe it was just like that movie about not getting into the plane which catastrophically crashed and everyone died, but the guy just couldnt avoid death. cant recall the name.
oh and just like this guy at 8:32 who didnt avoid the death, well he got away from it for 3 more years i guess, he postponed it..
My friends grandfather was from Ireland and he and his friend were suppose to work on the Titanic as firemen (I think they stoke the fires for the engine?) but they got drunk the night before it left and missed boarding. How crazy is that?! Thanks for bringing those people to life, it makes the sinking all the more tragic and real and keeps their memory strong 💞
To think alcohol abuse saved two lives
The producers of this video are amazing! I love you guys!
Our family legend is that our grandmother's sister, known as 'Aunt Connie' booked passage on the Titanic sailing from Cherbourg. She however overslept and missed the train out of Paris, thus missing the sailing of the Titanic. She passed away in 1973, the last of our extended family's original immigrants.
The tragedy of the Titanic has always captivated, so heartbreaking 💔
🙏👍🙏💔
That was a fantastic telling of the story of Titanic that a lot of people might not know about or never heard in that way. It's appreciated.
As a Titanic expert I found this video to be extremely good, accurate and well thought out. I liked the different point of view. The real people aspect was fascinating.
Interesting you state your an expert, but even you didn’t mention a particular family that died as well.
There are no experts unless you were actually there on that night on the ship you can’t no 1000% for sure of anything just hearsay speculation people’s judgement and opinions of what actually happened to say your an EXPERT is ARROGANT and paints you as a NO-IT-ALL
@@JimCutler I would watch all 10 hours.
@@JimCutler amazing video. My great grandfather Albert Horswill was a crewman for the Oceanic and the Titanic. He survived the wreck on cutter lifeboat number one, he was ordered into the boat by Officer Murdoch. This lifeboat was infamous because the Duff Gordons were on it and it was reported that they bribed my great grandfather and other crewmen to avoid returning to the wreck to pickup passengers in the sea. This was an outright lie, it was merely a kind gesture by Cosmo Duff Gordon to compensate the men for lost wages.
@@lisaskinner485 accurate, huh?? The staff weren't "herded to their cabins & kept there"
We have to remember this is real people, and their real lives, loves and hopes. Bless all those who put others before themselves, amazing documentary very thoughtfully done. Thankyou to all involved in production.
This is the most magnificent Titanic presentation I’ve ever seen!
Great video. My great grandfather Albert Horswill survived the sinking of the Titanic. He was on the infamous cutter lifeboat one. He and six other crewmen, Cosmo and Lucy Duff Gordon, their maid, and two other first class passengers. The press accused the Duff Gordons of bribing the crewmen to avoid picking up passengers in the sea. This was not true, it was merely a kind gesture by Cosmo and Lucy Duff Gordon to compensate the men for lost wages. The lifeboat was named the “money boat” by the press. My great grandfather testified at the British inquiry to the disaster along with the Duff Gordons.
Omg thanks for clearing that up. During that part of the video, I was sad and upset they had done that. Shame on the Press...
Why did children and women first class
@@Cero31979 so u just believe their statement? Such a kind gesture 😂 that’s great and all, but why didn’t they pick up anymore survivors? It was clearly bribery.
the boat left with 12 passengers, what did he say about that?
Happened here by accident, looking for interesting videos… so glad I did! This is so great! Definite new sub!
Very interesting to hear about the lives of people onboard and visit their graves for respect.
Thank you.
Very good video thank you for your contribution to the memories of the lost lives of the Titanic RiP all of them
One of the most respectful documentaries I have seen regarding the Titanic. So much Horror for so many. Money and greed, disgraceful. I even had a cry. Thank You for sharing this. 🚢🌈💗🇦🇺
Very honoring video of those lost lives on that dreadful night at sea. Remembering each person and their beloved family’s is more important then anything else having to do with the Titanic. I was very moved by this story, thank you for honoring each person, and thank you for sharing this so we can all know their names, see their faces and remember them in our hearts forever. ❤️
Thanks for posting this. I love hearing stories about the people on the Titanic. Not just the "important" people.
The terror, that they went through, makes my heart break 💔. I have always been fascinated by the Titanic. May they rest In peace.
Hi Jim and Dawn, Interesting thought provoking details about the tragedy . As usual by viewing I learned something new!!
So even in death, first class passengers got special treatment.
Yes I thought the same.
I thought that was sickening!
And why not !
@@charlessutton8414 Why should they have, no matter our status in life we're all the same in death.
This is the most interesting Titanic presentation I've ever seen. As grand as the ship was, the people are the real story. This short work demonstrates how all documentaries involving a great loss of life ought to be done. I've never heard the details about the iceberg or Carpathia photos before. Excellent work!
😭😭😭😭😭😥😥😥😥😥😥 i feel bad for those people and children
Great story, Jim and Dawn - thanks for bringing their names back to life, even if just for a few minutes.
Thank you
Conçidençia eu nasçi no dia 9 de abril de 1960 Eu sou pai vendo isto pensei nos pequeninos que partiram na eternidade
Owned y chase babk..o wider it sunk
That was really sad but very interesting to watch. Thank you!
Even in death the passengers were segregated. SHAMEFUL.
Nothing has changed, why get upset?
@@twinsonic …uh… that’s the problem my guy.
the fact that it’s still happening today is even more disgusting and unethical than it happening in the first place
@@twinsonic im shocked that you talk about it like „whatever”
@@twinsonicrubbish! A helluva lot has changed - a massive amount. Don't be a belligerent ass just for the sake of it! Moron!
@@zachsmith8664And what are YOU doing to fix it heh? Instead of self righteously pointing fingers at others, why don't you get off your lazy backside and do something to help? Give up your privileges for those less fortunate. Get out of your comfort zone! I live in Africa. Lots of underprivileged here! You're welcome to help - we'll be waiting! Or you can just stay the useless hypocrite you are!
I visited this cemetery in August 2021. Very moving
This graveyard also has a mass grave for the victims of the Halifax explosion form December 6 1917
It is a very interesting graveyard
Halifax and Dartmouth have such interesting grave yards
it sounds so strange and wrong when u call graveyard "interesting" :D
@@roxydzey for me it is because my great great grandparents and generations of my family are there.
@@roxydzey well it is, and for most historians it would be
I never knew about the Titanic graveyard. Such sadness
My father was buried in a graveyard... You are right, it was sad.
Great feature. Wonderful way to chronicle that night to remember. Thanks so much for sharing.
PLEASE! More Titanic videos!!! This was the best one I’ve seen on YT! :)
The unknown child, Sidney, he was the only one from his family found 😢 Also, Ida was offered a seat, but she would not leave her husband. Die together instead of living apart. (They co-owned Macy's).
Done with total respect 🙏. Thank you for this amazing video.
Wow this was just fascinating. It never crossed my mind to wonder where they were buried. As a little kid I was fascinated by the pictures in a book about how it was supposed to have looked sinking. I was 15 when Ballard discovered it. I was overwhelmed by the finding. All those ppl, the rich who died, the poor who never got a chance. Such an absolute catastrophe that more weren't saved. There never would've been enough for all, but so many died that didn't have too
This was simply excellent
in every regard. The narration was especially good. Thanks SO much for a well produced never told story! ⚘
this made me teary, thank you, fantastic video ❤
Outstanding! I saw 'A Night to Remember' on the Friday midnight movie 12 Apr 1968 and have been intrigued by everything Titanic since then. I was just 12 and I was amazed we didn't know where she was, after all we were going to the moon the next year.
Thank you..so sad..so many people lost.
It's Great that over 700 people were saved...but heartbreaking that so many more could have been saved had the life boats taken more people.
Or all three ships gone to the rescue.
Well done, guys! Pros as always and great insight into that.
Very well done!! Thank you for all your hard work that went into the video.
Love your videos, not too short and not too long. But always informative and holds the interest on the subject. Such a tragic loss of life and so under-prepared to save the people. Many dreams went down with that ship !
❤️✌️🇨🇦
Thank you for your video, I learnt a lot today…..and thank you for remembering those who didn’t make it.❤️❤️❤️
I Second This Comment... Agree. 👍🙏👍
Thank you for this wonderful tribute. And thank you for including the part about the CS Mackay-Bennett. My grandmother's uncle was her navigation officer during the recovery operation and he is buried at that same cemetery. Capt. William Dawson Livingston. He ended up as her captain 9 years later.
beautiful documentary!! subscribed definitely !
This video is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for telling the real story. Very moving.
Thank you for this video. It gives meaning and purpose to those people, especially 3rd class, wanting a new and better life-doing something about it instead of just taking free handouts from anyone.
Hello, how’re you doing
Thank you for bringing to light after all this time.
The story of the Titanic gives a great history lesson on the views and vales placed on class distinction at the time. Great job on the video!
so glad the passengers of titanic were honored . cant put myself in my thoughts in thier shoes the horror is just so much . god bless all of you R I P ..
This is such an educational video. Just thinking of the last moments these people experienced, it must have been unimaginably terrifying, traumatic and painful 🥺
This was excellent, informative and a fresh spin on old history!
Man this was really cool!! A longer version would be amazing.
Excellent work! I truly enjoyed it.
Fantastic video. Thank you
Fantastic video!! I learned so much!!
Really interesting video!!! People who had missed the voyage was particularly of interest.
WOW! Thanks for that interesting piece!
Very insightful, Great video 👍👍
Well done, thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
My grandmother was a 1st class passenger 1906-2003 may she and all those lost rest in peace ❤️🌹🕊️
Excellent storytelling. Great job!
Wonderful video. Thank you
Wow thank you for adding stories to these people
What a great video. Very clear and heartfelt thanks
Excellent Video! Thanks!
There was 2 other ships less than 10 miles away SMH WOW PRETTY COLD HEARTED
The story about the Californian is also interesting. Stanley Lord, the ship's captain, was blamed for not trying to help.
Thank You for Posting. May their Rest be Forever Peaceful.
Thanks for this video
That was a great video - thanks for posting
History. It’s important. This videos just echoes & drives my point about it’s importance. Excellent find & presentation.
That was so well done! Thanks
Excellent and informative video!
Wow this was so heartbreaking to watch.But I learnt things about the people of titanic that I never new.May they all rest in peace.❤️❤️
Hello how’re you doing
Hi, Dawn & Jim. I'm your newest sub. This is honestly one of the best videos I've ever seen on RUclips. It was also easy to follow & understand.
One if the best videos on Titanic and most interesting! Cheers!!
R.I.P to all those whose families who had been lost❤
Really good videos, you should have way more views. I've been to this graveyard 4 times over the years and every time, that J. Dawson grave is covered with stuff lol.
Just not sure why six lookouts couldn't see a giant ice in the sea. And why not slow down when you know there are iceberg s might be near. And experienced captain will know better, when there is so much at risk.
And t will
Thank you for doing this
Really interesting and truly good stories. This is such a great idea to tell a different story about Titanic. Thank you.
Thank you for this video.
Very informative, great video 👍
