Jeb Kerman that is so true. One needs only to look at past commercial aircraft disasters that have made flying today so much much safer. It’s as if the sacrifice of others was necessary to learn the fail points and weaknesses of our technology, thus making our current lives so so much safer. This applies not only to transportation, but also to many other aspects of our modern lives where safety improvements have saved many lives.
Another rabbit hole... Titanic changed course slightly due to the various ice warnings received by wireless telegraph on the 14th. If they had not fixed their wireless set, would Titanic have changed course? Would they have still managed to hit an iceberg, at exactly the right angle resulting the five watertight compartments flooding?
Is there reason to believe they switched course due to the wireless machine broke down and not an extra precautionary step by Smith? It was know that that was a warmer year and the icepacks were further south than usual, such that even the southern shipping route was hazardous.
@@mattc2094 Yes and no. Most modern flooring that is called 'linoleum' is actually vinyl. The material used in the 1980s was almost always vinyl. Linoleum is made from solidified linseed oil mixed with pine rosin and fillers like powdered wood, cork, and chalk, with a fabric backing (canvas or burlap/hessian). The name is from the Latin words 'linum' (flax, the plant that linen and linseed oil come from) and 'oleum' (oil). Vinyl, polyvinyl chloride, is a petroleum product. That's caused some renewed interest in linoleum, which is 'natural'.
@@rks581 Thanks for the in-depth knowledge! That's quite interesting... what would natural linoleum be like to walk on? Would it be harder than vinyl which had a soft feeling?
@@mattc2094 NO it is not soft feeling, the closest modern-day equivalent is VC tile. True Linoleum is still available and becoming more and more popular as it is eco-friendly and does not outgas formaldehyde like many of the petroleum-based flooring products.

Not for me it isn't... Anyone going through and ice field at that speed was kind of asking for it.... When the only way to detect what was ahead was two guys way up high, in the dark with poor visibility because of refraction, trying to see what was coming at them... without even binoculars... And, The unfortunate luck that the first ice berg they did see was a monster huge one directly in front of them...

A floating mass of sheet metal of that size and weight times its speed colliding with a solid piece of ice that dwarfed the ship in size is gonna be a bit more than a fender bender....
0:35 is the lightship that Olympic would accidentally ram 20 years later. The ship might have survived had the radio not broken. The repair cost them valuable time and come morning on the 14th they were backed up with passenger messages. This meant they spent the entire day, right up to the collision with the iceberg, clearing this backlog, being overworked to the point that they didn't grasp the severity of the iceberg warnings they were receiving and didn't think to pass them along to the bridge.

Thank God Phillips and Bride fixed the telegraph system. Can you imagine the Titanic just sinking and no one knowing about it? My god I can imagine the conspiracy theorists today.
John (“Jack”) Phillips and Harold Bride will forever go down in history as the heroic geeks of the Titanic. For this one time, at least, breaking the Marconi rule book was definitely the right thing to do. 712 lives saved.
If Phillips and Bride had not fixed the wireless and had to use the emergency set then they might not have received all those ice warnings. Which means that Captain Smith might not have delayed the turn west. Which means that they would have missed that iceberg. So let's blame Phillips and Bride!
Titanic was dodging icebergs for an hour before hitting the one that sank her. Also they were sailing into a rectangle of ice |_| like that. It took Carpathia something like a day to sail to the southern tip of that rectangle and hang a sharp right back to New Yawk Haabaa.
There were so many icebergs in Titanic’s path, if she had missed the one she would’ve hit another. In fact, a low-lying icefield was in the way and she might have run aground on some and Titanic would’ve sank very quickly and I doubt anybody would’ve survived. There were many things that went wrong for that ship and her passengers and crew, but avoiding ramming the icefield wasn’t one of them. Because of the lone iceberg that Titanic hit, she had enough time to evacuate at least some of the people.
Those two guy fixing the telegraph and ignoring the rule save so many live who knows how many passenger would have die in the freezing cold or worst starve to death
Or, as he said, doomed 1500 by fixing the set, as had it not been operational, they might not have been in range of Cape Race with the backup, hence they might not have blown off the Californian for interrupting, who may still have been online and received the distress call from the backup set. Although, there's a school of thought that posits that if the Californian had mostly shut down her boilers (maintaining only the minimum pressure to power lights, hot water, deck machinery etc) that it would have taken longer to build up a head of steam, travel the 10 miles or so to Titanic's location, and transfer the passengers than the Titanic had before sinking. So many what ifs!

Olympic was the largest ocean liner in the world for two periods during 1911-13, interrupted only by the brief tenure of the slightly larger Titanic (which had the same dimensions but higher gross tonnage owing to revised interior configurations), before she was then surpassed by SS Imperator. Olympic also retained the title of the largest British-built liner until RMS Queen Mary was launched in 1934, interrupted only by the short careers of her slightly larger sister ships.[6][7] The Olympic was withdrawn from service and sold for scrap in 1935; demolition was completed in 1937. Decorative elements of Olympic were removed and sold at auction before she was scrapped, and now adorn buildings and a cruise ship. Olympic n titanic was beautiful ships of the time during the edwardian period

Small detail at 1:30. A ship’s trim is the difference between the draft forward and aft, i.e. how much she is leaning forward or aft. The word you are looking for is “list”. The ship had a list to port of 3 degrees.
Lots of little eventful things happened on this day aboard Titanic, wonder what the outcome would have been if her primary Marconi system was out of order at the time of the sinking.
Just an FYI - When a ship "leans" due to a weight shift it's called a "list". The trim is the difference between the fore and aft drafts (Hence the saying "she's trimmed by the head/stern").
Trim of the ship referes to the difference between the draft from the stern to bow section. Heeling is refered to listing of the ship from staboard to port.
Regarding the coal fire in the forward starboard side coal bunker (Coal Bunker W) of Boiler Room No. 5 I challenge anyone to explain how members of the fireman's crew were able to deposit all the displaced coal from said coal bunker into the portside coal bunkers. Tell me how this could have been accomplished. You can't force it in through the hatch doors. The only way you can deposit it into any other coal bunker is from the top at the Orlop Deck level. Given the series of ladders and catwalks, etc. it would have required a Herculean effort in the form of some type of labor intense bucket-brigade to redeposit all that coal into the port side bunkers. I submit that the crew of Boiler Room No. 5 did one of two things to address the coal fire in Bunker W: 1.) Require that all 5 of BR 5's double-sided Scotch boilers use Coal exclusively from Coal Bunker W until the seat of the fire within the bunker was located and the fire put out. 2.) Remove the coal from Bunker W forming large piles of coal in front of each Scotch boiler on the Stokehold plate flooring within the Boiler Room. Regarding how the port side list developed by the night of April 14th I would submit Option 1 would come closer to helping explain how such a development appeared as it did. Anyway, I just wanted to lay this out and see what sort of response it may get. Robby
I wouldn't worry too much about that rabbit hole at the end. It was late at night so I'm pretty sure the Californian telegraph operator still would have gone to bed around the same time.
The way YT's system works now is that watching a video only past a certain point will count as a view So that's when people hit the like button at the very start before they've reached that threshold to be counted
T&H said the coal to Port prevented the ship from capsizing to starboard. It listed 5 degrees to starboard (would have been 8 without the coal). But when the ship listed to Port (Scotland Road flooding, D-deck gangway door open), the coal should have made thinks worse. Surprising it did not capsize (or the "everyone to starboard" was more effective than thought).
@@TitanicHG Thanks, that makes sense. Thinking back, Titanic lasted quite long given all the openings. And Olympic went through so much during it's carrier without sinking. Today, ships would capsize in no time for less than that. Good luck for your remaining work.
Hi, you asked the rhetorical question on what would have happened to Titanic's survivors if the wireless operators failed to repair their machine. Well, the answer I believe is that nothing, as Titanic would not have sunk at all. After Phillips and Bride repaired the device, one of the messages received caused captain Smith to modify the course southwardly to avoid reported ice and icebergs. Had the radio not been operational, this adjustment would not have happened and Titanic would have certainly avoided the iceberg that sank it. It still might have run into an icefield or encounter icebergs and suffer some damage, but considering how very rare and unlucky the damage Titanic suffered was, it was unlikely to have been sunk in other scenarios. Also, even if Titanic still sunk even without sending radio distress calls, considering the density of shipping traffic in that are and calmness of the sea, it is likely they would have been found by another ship, perhaps a few hours later.
Afraid i have to disagree ever so slightly. A voyage is counted berth to berth wheras the sea passage is counted from what would have been light ship to light ship. Nowadays we call sea passage from the time the pilotage from the departure port stops to the time the pilotage at the arrival port commences.
Interesting and chilling commentary with an error. Titanic had a big coal problem. Olympic class steamers typically needed 6500 tons of coal for the trip to New York. Trouble was, the local coal miners were out on strike. J. Bruce Ismay had been able to scrape up, about 5800 tons of coal. By cancelling the trips of all other local White Star ships. Some of this coal was in poor condition. Resulting in controlable bunker fire. Bunker fires were common on coal fired ships. Wet coal was more flammable than dry coal. So trying to fight such a fire with water doesn't work. So standard practice was to shovel wet, burning coal into the nearest boiler asap. Common practice also meant isolating a burning bunker as much as possible. This included cooling near by bulkheads with water. To prevent warping, and to keep the fire from spreading. Strange as might seem, the coal situation had a major impact on the disaster. Titanic was short of fuel for the trip. This meant that heaving to, for the night, or a significant southern detour. Two common practices, were out of the question.
@@hugos5114 J. Bruce Ismay contracted for two Olympic class steamers. With the possibility of one more. When Olympic seemed such a success. Only then was Brittanic ordered. Brittanic was very incomplete when Titanic sank.
@@hugos5114 Referencing the book "Titanic's last Secrets." One large Olympic class ship was far more profitable than the other ships (economy of scale). I've not seen data on passengers for those canceled voyages. There really wasn't enough coal. Titanic's voyage should have been delayed. J. Bruce Ismay pulled out all the stops. Rushing the already delayed Titanic voyage, ASAP. Desperate for the money due to the financial situation of White Star and IMM. J. Bruce Ismay was truely responsible for the the loss of 1500+ lives and very nearly his own. Making operational decisions based purely on "bean counter" values. If Ismay had not rushed Titanic into sevice. It wouldn't have been there to hit an iceberg. Olympic/Titanic two-way service could have beem a big success. The later addition of Brittanic would have put White Star and IMM on top of the Atlantic passenger trade.
@@scottjackson5173 man, White Star Line were on a very good financial state before Titanic desaster. They only think that the other ships were not worth, because there was too low passengers (high prices because of the coal strike) so they got all of these passengers on Titanic.
Hmmm... I don’t know anything about Marconi sets... but it just occurred to me, would there theoretically (if you had enough wire) be a way to pair the second transformer of the main set (the one that wasn’t burned out) to the transformer of the emergency set, thus giving the emergency set a range much closer to the range of the main set?
Huh. And here I thought that bit in SOS Titanic was an invention of Hollywood. Also, I doubt Californian would have still been online, the operator was planning to shut down anyway if I recall correctly.
@@puterboy2 The bit about the passenger having broken her arm during the voyage. That was part of the plot in the 1970s TV Movie SOS Titanic, but I had chalked that up to a Hollywood invention for TEH DRAMAZ.
You are wonderful historians. As 2020 is only days away its time for historians to turn their attention to broadcast radio. Considering its effect on society and technological development the celebration of everything radio should be a decade and a half long. I'm concerned that we may let this major anniversary pass us by.
It actually is said to have saved her, as the ship tilted towards starboard during the first hour of the sinking, and some say it may have rolled onto its side/sunk much faster had she been left to tip over to starboard. But, once Scotland Road flooded the ship roller back to port anyway.
you forget one thing . Titanic was only able to hear the clsoest ships not the ones far away nore land . Even Olympic recieved their calls clearly but when they replied titanic could not hear them and thats what cused the communication mix up everyone was trying to answer to Titanic at the same time but Titanic ocntinued to send out messages while the answers were sent to them because they couldn't hear the answers from the many other ships . and since so many talked at tha same time no one could anderstand the message properly . They would have been better off if the radio didnt work at all and used the light signals intead
I like imagining butterly-effect type things.. what's the minimum change you could have made as a time traveller, to avoid a disaster without anyone obviously noticing
In reading tons of books of Titanic the light ship was never mention . The Titanic fire is what weakened the ship. So when it hit the ice berg. If Titanic's wireless guy had even shown more respect to the other wireless operator the whole Titanic outcome might have been different .Say the guy didn't go to bed because of the operations rudeness . He might have heard the distress call as it first happened. Possibly getting the ship headed toward the Titanic HOURS sooner . Maybe saving more lives . But one man choose to be rude . And it cost him in the end .
I appreciate the visual of _Titanic's_ port list. You almost never see it in any image or recreation of the ship, it has always hard for me to really wrap my head around what it'd have looked like, or if it was even noticeable if you weren't physically there.
Now i finally know why the titanic list to port when i choose the 2012 theory on roblox titanic and when its on the day and before the collision its listing!
The details of the voyage gives the story an eerie feeling. Goosebumps.
Alot of strange occurrences happen before the sinking..
Agreed
But actually you can find all those details online. Not only in here.
Didn't know about Irene Harris slipping down the grand staircase. I'm sure she thought it would be the worst thing to happen during the crossing.
WSL 401 Irene Harris was rescued in collapsible D and survived. She died in poverty in 1969.
@@LDDavis911 I knew she survived, but Collapsible D? She left that late?

Trim of the ship referes to the difference between the draft from the stern to bow section. Heeling is refered to listing of the ship from staboard to port.
Titanic honor and glory is so famous now that pictures from the game made it too books that are now in my high school library
Wow! What book is that?!
Regarding the coal fire in the forward starboard side coal bunker (Coal Bunker W) of Boiler Room No. 5 I challenge anyone to explain how members of the fireman's crew were able to deposit all the displaced coal from said coal bunker into the portside coal bunkers. Tell me how this could have been accomplished. You can't force it in through the hatch doors. The only way you can deposit it into any other coal bunker is from the top at the Orlop Deck level. Given the series of ladders and catwalks, etc. it would have required a Herculean effort in the form of some type of labor intense bucket-brigade to redeposit all that coal into the port side bunkers. I submit that the crew of Boiler Room No. 5 did one of two things to address the coal fire in Bunker W:
1.) Require that all 5 of BR 5's double-sided Scotch boilers use Coal exclusively from Coal Bunker W until the seat of the fire within the bunker was located and the fire put out.
2.) Remove the coal from Bunker W forming large piles of coal in front of each Scotch boiler on the Stokehold plate flooring within the Boiler Room.
Regarding how the port side list developed by the night of April 14th I would submit Option 1 would come closer to helping explain how such a development appeared as it did. Anyway, I just wanted to lay this out and see what sort of response it may get.

Now I know why you love this stuff so much Thom, It's in your blood, Lynskey means marina.

*Sink ship?*
Break it in half most likely)
I wouldn't worry too much about that rabbit hole at the end. It was late at night so I'm pretty sure the Californian telegraph operator still would have gone to bed around the same time.
Who knew at the time that 1500 people the next day, would meet their end.
I love these, thank you for sharing!
Great info. That ending had me laughing.

Good job Titanic HG
The way YT's system works now is that watching a video only past a certain point will count as a view
So that's when people hit the like button at the very start before they've reached that threshold to be counted
It's.....a joke.....but tHaNkS
T&H said the coal to Port prevented the ship from capsizing to starboard. It listed 5 degrees to starboard (would have been 8 without the coal). But when the ship listed to Port (Scotland Road flooding, D-deck gangway door open), the coal should have made thinks worse. Surprising it did not capsize (or the "everyone to starboard" was more effective than thought).
At that point, both sides of the ship had been flooded through, and it would have taken a lot more to capsize the ship.
@@TitanicHG Thanks, that makes sense. Thinking back, Titanic lasted quite long given all the openings. And Olympic went through so much during it's carrier without sinking. Today, ships would capsize in no time for less than that. Good luck for your remaining work.
I love these neat details about the ship! Very interesting!
Hi, you asked the rhetorical question on what would have happened to Titanic's survivors if the wireless operators failed to repair their machine. Well, the answer I believe is that nothing, as Titanic would not have sunk at all. After Phillips and Bride repaired the device, one of the messages received caused captain Smith to modify the course southwardly to avoid reported ice and icebergs. Had the radio not been operational, this adjustment would not have happened and Titanic would have certainly avoided the iceberg that sank it. It still might have run into an icefield or encounter icebergs and suffer some damage, but considering how very rare and unlucky the damage Titanic suffered was, it was unlikely to have been sunk in other scenarios.
Also, even if Titanic still sunk even without sending radio distress calls, considering the density of shipping traffic in that are and calmness of the sea, it is likely they would have been found by another ship, perhaps a few hours later.
Afraid i have to disagree ever so slightly. A voyage is counted berth to berth wheras the sea passage is counted from what would have been light ship to light ship. Nowadays we call sea passage from the time the pilotage from the departure port stops to the time the pilotage at the arrival port commences.
Interesting and chilling commentary with an error. Titanic had a big coal problem.
Olympic class steamers typically needed 6500 tons of coal for the trip to New York. Trouble was, the local coal miners were out on strike. J. Bruce Ismay had been able to scrape up, about 5800 tons of coal. By cancelling the trips of all other local White Star ships. Some of this coal was in poor condition. Resulting in controlable bunker fire. Bunker fires were common on coal fired ships. Wet coal was more flammable than dry coal. So trying to fight such a fire with water doesn't work. So standard practice was to shovel wet, burning coal into the nearest boiler asap.
Common practice also meant isolating a burning bunker as much as possible. This included cooling near by bulkheads with water. To prevent warping, and to keep the fire from spreading.
Strange as might seem, the coal situation had a major impact on the disaster. Titanic was short of fuel for the trip. This meant that heaving to, for the night, or a significant southern detour. Two common practices, were out of the question.
in fact, the other ships were cancelled mainly because there wasnt enough passengers.
@@hugos5114 J. Bruce Ismay contracted for two Olympic class steamers. With the possibility of one more. When Olympic seemed such a success. Only then was Brittanic ordered. Brittanic was very incomplete when Titanic sank.
@@scottjackson5173 yes, I knew that. why are you saying me that? I said there wasnt enough passengers, but that only was in the coal strike context
@@hugos5114 Referencing the book "Titanic's last Secrets." One large Olympic class ship was far more profitable than the other ships (economy of scale). I've not seen data on passengers for those canceled voyages. There really wasn't enough coal. Titanic's voyage should have been delayed. J. Bruce Ismay pulled out all the stops. Rushing the already delayed Titanic voyage, ASAP. Desperate for the money due to the financial situation of White Star and IMM.
J. Bruce Ismay was truely responsible for the the loss of 1500+ lives and very nearly his own. Making operational decisions based purely on "bean counter" values. If Ismay had not rushed Titanic into sevice. It wouldn't have been there to hit an iceberg. Olympic/Titanic two-way service could have beem a big success. The later addition of Brittanic would have put White Star and IMM on top of the Atlantic passenger trade.
@@scottjackson5173 man, White Star Line were on a very good financial state before Titanic desaster. They only think that the other ships were not worth, because there was too low passengers (high prices because of the coal strike) so they got all of these passengers on Titanic.
Wow, I never knew about these events.
Some beautiful shots in this one, wow
Those beautiful marble floors? LENOLEUM.
I had no idea that the ship tilted to the port side during the voyage :l
Hmmm... I don’t know anything about Marconi sets... but it just occurred to me, would there theoretically (if you had enough wire) be a way to pair the second transformer of the main set (the one that wasn’t burned out) to the transformer of the emergency set, thus giving the emergency set a range much closer to the range of the main set?
those rebellious young boys were the heroes of their time
Rabbit holes!! Haha loving the series!
Huh. And here I thought that bit in SOS Titanic was an invention of Hollywood. Also, I doubt Californian would have still been online, the operator was planning to shut down anyway if I recall correctly.
What bit?
@@puterboy2 The bit about the passenger having broken her arm during the voyage. That was part of the plot in the 1970s TV Movie SOS Titanic, but I had chalked that up to a Hollywood invention for TEH DRAMAZ.
Thank god for rule breakers! :p
You are wonderful historians. As 2020 is only days away its time for historians to turn their attention to broadcast radio. Considering its effect on society and technological development the celebration of everything radio should be a decade and a half long. I'm concerned that we may let this major anniversary pass us by.
Just when you thought the Titanic disaster couldn't have been any worse, some poor woman had to go through it with a recently broken arm.
TITANIC IS DOING WELL RIGHT NOW
The three extra degrees to her port side, must of made her tilt to the port side during the sinking.
It actually is said to have saved her, as the ship tilted towards starboard during the first hour of the sinking, and some say it may have rolled onto its side/sunk much faster had she been left to tip over to starboard. But, once Scotland Road flooded the ship roller back to port anyway.
2:19 I would have done the same XD
This series is just awesome.
Putting that in perspective that's amazing
Love the head on angel of her sailing!
"so you wanna go to a real party?"
Excellent presentation as always.
Absolutely awesome. Look forward to when you look into the S.S. Mont Blanc
you forget one thing . Titanic was only able to hear the clsoest ships not the ones far away nore land . Even Olympic recieved their calls clearly but when they replied titanic could not hear them and thats what cused the communication mix up everyone was trying to answer to Titanic at the same time but Titanic ocntinued to send out messages while the answers were sent to them because they couldn't hear the answers from the many other ships . and since so many talked at tha same time no one could anderstand the message properly . They would have been better off if the radio didnt work at all and used the light signals intead
Заездили эту тему уже до дыр.
I deeply interested in the Titanic and it’s tragic maiden voyage. Many conspiracy theories abound which only adds to the intrigue.
I like imagining butterly-effect type things.. what's the minimum change you could have made as a time traveller, to avoid a disaster without anyone obviously noticing
Well done! Good mini documentary.
I believe you got John Phillips (American Singer.) and Jack Phillips mixed up, Jack Phillips was the wireless operator.
Wow nice
What is not mentioned here is that the iceberg sued the White Star Line because the Titanic committed a hit and run.
This looks absolutely beautiful. I wish it was on ps4- my pc would croak playing this
After what you told. At the end of the video, I just stared at the logo on 4:26 for a minute in silence.
The set of wires extending between the tops of the two main masts were the wires for the Marconi wireless.
I love titanic
Its strange how she listed a bit to port that Saturday.
It’s probably what saved Titanic from capsizing to starboard an hour into the sinking. The port list prolonged the sinking.
GOODNIGHT AND GOOD RIDDANCE
I like the hidden message in your thumbnail.
In reading tons of books of Titanic the light ship was never mention . The Titanic fire is what weakened the ship. So when it hit the ice berg. If Titanic's wireless guy had even shown more respect to the other wireless operator the whole Titanic outcome might have been different .Say the guy didn't go to bed because of the operations rudeness . He might have heard the distress call as it first happened. Possibly getting the ship headed toward the Titanic HOURS sooner . Maybe saving more lives . But one man choose to be rude . And it cost him in the end .
thats wrong. the fire didnt weaken the ship.
24 hours left!💗
@Cindy Klenk 😩
I appreciate the visual of _Titanic's_ port list. You almost never see it in any image or recreation of the ship, it has always hard for me to really wrap my head around what it'd have looked like, or if it was even noticeable if you weren't physically there.
If you look closely at most of our video clips of the ship sailing, the ship is always listing 3 degrees.
@@TitanicHG Good to know! I'll keep an eye out for it, then
Ahh. I assume that 3* port list from the coal is why she went down with a port lean, despite being stuck starboard?
Now i finally know why the titanic list to port when i choose the 2012 theory on roblox titanic and when its on the day and before the collision its listing!
