This was so much longer than I planned. It got slightly longer when I decided to include clips of their onscreen counterparts (or their nearest equivalent) before each story. I thought this might make the video a bit more entertaining rather than having to listen to an hour of me prattling on and on. It's a nice break and shows you where they have been featured onscreen before.
There are a few points I wanna acknowledge which I didn't find room for in the video.
1. Yes, that is David Warner as Lawrence Beesley. James Cameron cast a handful of actors who were in SOS Titanic and A Night to Remember in his film as a way of paying homage to them.
2. Yes, that is Ian Holm as J Bruce Ismay in SOS Titanic.
3. I was going to put in the Strauses, but as I was cutting down my list to 50, I somehow accidentally deleted their segment and didn't realise until I had finished the script.
4. There are only 4 steerage stories simply because I'd set a limit for myself. I feel bad for not contributing more, but maybe I can do this again next year with exclusively third class passengers.
5. The bit at the end where I mention James Cameron's assertion to remember those who died obviously leads into the Murdoch s***ide scene in the film. I'll talk about this more in the rankings, but yeah, Cameron has for years voiced his regrets over that scene and personally apologised to Murdoch's family. He mentions it in the documentary from which I used the footage.
6. I did flub the pronunciation of Masabumi Hosono and Joseph Peruschitz. The reason, typos I didn't know were there until I was editing. For that I apologise.

An interesting fact about the Baker. Drinking alcohol normally increases hypothermia as it opens the blood vessels, however extremely cold water narrows the blood vessels. Doctors think the alcohol counteracted the effect of the extreme cold water and normalised his blood vessels allowing him to survive a really long time in the water.
Would be nice to have another non-fiction Titanic docudrama mini series based on the non -famous passengers, with interviews with their descendants, sharing the stories passed down.
You may not see this, but in hopes you do, I think you or anyone would really appreciate this true history of a group of 14 third-class passengers from Ireland: "The Addergoole 14: The Lost Passengers Of The Titanic".
I have watched that 🙂. It was so sad. As a matternof fact, when I went to "Titanic: The Exhibit" on 1/22/2010 (I just pulled out the companion book, in which I taped my ticket) we were given identities of actual passengers. We later were able to look at the passenger lists to see if we survived. I was Miss Bridget Delia McDermott from Addergoole. Here is what it says on the back of the boarding pass I was given for her as a Passenger Fact:
The night before she departed, Bridget gave a few coins to a wanderer period he took the coins and told her she was going on a long journey. "There will be a tragedy but you will be saved," the man said. She was. @@tedwalford7615
It is truly amazing that a lot of these people on been on previous ships that have sank and they still got on other ships after that ! There is no way I would!
As a RUclips junkie, I just want to say that this was one of the most interesting videos I’ve ever seen. Huge respect for the amount of work that’s gone in to producing it. It’s good to learn about the people from the Titanic. 👏👏👏👏👏❤
One name I was surprised you left out was Millvina Dean. A third class passenger she was only two months old when she boarded the titanic making her the youngest passenger. She was also the last survivor of the Titanic dying on May 31, 2009.
I'm sure I listed her at some point and then accidentally deleted it when I was cutting the list down to 50
@@ShadrakJohn Do it yourself, you keyboard warrior.
She was an infant. How much of a story could she possibly have? Everything she knew about the disaster she was told by someone else. Like you and I.
@@DavidWilliams-so2dy I wouldn't even say infant almost a new born baby still nursing I imagine.
@@ShadrakJohn I think you should redo your life
Archibald Gracie is a relative of mine. My dad told me about him and Titanic when I was seven, I believe. We've got a copy of his book somewhere in Dad's collection too.
I am an Mexican and have always been interested in the history involving the Titanic. This an incredible article you have written, absolutely one of the best I've ever read. Stay safe always, and you'll never catch me sailing on a cruise, as I have never forgotten about the Titanic.
I've always been fascinated with the Titanic. I've read and seen everything I can. I went through the exhibit when it came into Houston. We even went through Margaret Brown's home in Denver (it's a museum). I don't know why, but Titanic's a very sad, tragic, yet familiar story. When we watched Cameron's version, my husband and I really identified with the Strauss couple. Ours was a later marriage (at ages 36 and 37) and we've now been married 30 years. The Strauss's would be us. Going back, laying down, and holding each other until it was over and we arrived in Heaven together. For every person we know the story of, there are others who we only know a name. So much death.
My great grandfather Albert Horswill was one of the other occupants aboard the lifeboat with the Duff Gordons, he did receive the check from Cosmo that the press incorrectly labeled a bribe to not return to pickup passengers, the video correctly described it as a kind gesture to compensate my great grandfather and the other crewmen on the lifeboat for lost wages.
Thank you for giving these lives a voice. A voice we should never forget. They had loved ones, lives, aspirations, hopes, and dreams just as we do. May they live on forever in peace and grace like you have provided them here. ❤️
To all who perished that fateful night, rest in peace.🕊✨️🚢🪽
I am surprised and shocked no one mentioned isodore and ida strauss ,the saddest most romantic love story their is ,it brought tears to my eyes when they died lovingly in each other's arms,their story should have been covered but nonetheless it was a great story,. 👏
I 100% agree.
I doubt they actually died in each others arms.
Alice of Sherwood, you did a phenomenal job researching and putting it together.
They did 💯
She mentioned in the description that she did have a segment recorded for them but something happened to the audio.
The Navratil Boys were handed to my grandmother’s grandmother, Mary Kelly, who was a third class passenger traveling to New York to be married. She surrendered them after boarding the Carpathia. She was an Irish immigrant who later made a return trip just a few years later to visit family in Ireland.
Some time back I was curious if the Titanic had hungarian victims or passengers. I found nor hun passengers nor victims. But later found an article about a victim, called Michael Navratil who in reality was Hungarian born Navratil Mihály . Which means Titanic had hungarian victim too. Fortunately the kids survived.
Yes she was a very glamorous girl. From co Longford I believe.
Your great-great grandma?
She was one of the addergoole 14 is that right?
why didn't she keep the boys because she had no idea they were kidnap I would have kept them until I found out the truth if they were orphans or not?
and when did she go back t Irland to visit her relatives and what happen after that?
I feel like Beesley was someone who really tried to grow spiritually after the sinking. I was very inspired by his survival story, he didn’t seem to crack under the weight of survivor’s remorse, and he went on to do great things. I don’t believe anyone could have walked away from what happened unscathed though. Thanks for putting this together. Most RUclips docs about Titanic are pretty much just about the chain of events and the passenger’s stories in particular get overlooked.
The captain had the responsibility for the safe transport of his passengers, in this he failed
Cpt Smith failed at a lot it was also a fault of duty on his part to allow lifeboats to leave less than full
I appreciate the research . A lot of background I've not seen elsewhere...not even in the books like Complete Titanic. Good job.
Thank you letting us know these real people, . Learned so much. And never forget these souls.
Charles Gracie was on board and survived. He is my husband's grandfather
Your husband's grandfather...
While definitely not a famous face aboard, and I have no problem with his exclusion, the most interesting story in my opinion is that of Emil Taussig.
He was Eisenbrod, Bohemia on 20 June 1857, his parents were Solomon Joseph Taussig (1829-1896), a child's clothing manufacturer, and Rosie Pick (?-1862). Shortly after he was born, he gained two baby sisters - Annie (born 1859) and Jennie (born 1861). Solomon remarried Charlotte Bundig (1844-1906), and had six children: Rosa (1863-1931), Olga (1868-1946), Otto (b. 1870), Maximillian (1872-1878), Jacob (b. 1873) and Flora (b. 1875).
The family emigrated in 1866, leaving Hamburg aboard the Germania on January 14 of 1866, settling in Manhattan. According to the 1880 census, Emil, age 23, was a store clerk. He later became Manager of the West Disinfecting Company in Buffalo, New York. He was 5'7.
He was married on 18 January 1880 to Ruth Mandelbaum (b. 1860), whom was the daughter of a cigar manufacturer. In 1881, Ruth and Emil had their daughter, Mary. In 1900, they were living at 1335 Madison Avenue, Manhattan. Shortly after this, Mary married Julius Lichtenstein (born 1877), and in 1902 Mary and Julius had a pair of daughters, Tillie and Millie Lichtenstein.
In 1912, Emil and Ruth were living at 777 West End Avenue. Around this time, Emil and Ruth went on vacation in Vienna, inviting Mary and their granddaughters. Afterwards, they booked passage as First Class on Titanic, Emil and Ruth occupying E-67, and Mary and the granddaughters occupying E-69. Mary befriended Nellie Mayori Bessette (A gymnast and stewardess) and Jocelyn White aboard, and the three were a popular pair, allegedly - health-centered, beautiful young women who often used the Gymnasium and Swimming Bath, while young lads watched. Meanwhile, Millie and Tillie allegedly befriended the other First Class children, such as Lucile Carter and Helen Alison.
At 11:40PM the Taussigs' cabin shook, and Millie reported that one of her toys fell from its' shelf, awaking her and her sister. Mary was just heading to bed and Emil was having tea with Ruth in the adjacent cabin. They gathered in their hall and were met by their steward, German Alfred Theissinger, at about 11:55.
"You better put on your lifebelts and rush out on deck." Theissinger instructed
"Is it as serious as all that?" Emil asked, seeming so far calm.
"Yes, hurry up, get your family to safety, sir." was Theissinger's reply. This shocked Emil, and he quickly dressed in a fur coat and top hat, and seemed fearful. He ushered his family to the Gymnasium where they waited, with Mary meeting Nellie and Jocelyn waiting there too. They then awaited their assigned boat, but Ruth panicked and ran downstairs to get something from the cabin, perhaps a hat or shawl. Upon reaching E-Deck, the four surviving Taussig members have a split testimony - Ruth and Tillie say that the water was sloshing across the floor, Millie says E-Deck was underwater, and Mary says they were accosted by a steward who rushed them to the deck.
Their assigned Lifeboat was Boat No. 8, and Tillie tripped while boarding, spraining her ankle. Mary and Ruth joined, with a hysterical Ruth begging for Emil to join. Mary and Ruth recall Emil asking a crewman if he could join, but the crewman told him that he could not. Emil stepped back, with Ruth pointing out that Emil was standing next to Isidor Strauss, owner of Macy's. This was around 1:05.
Emil was next seen at 1:35 or so, by Café steward John Stewart, in the First Class Smoking Room. Stewart had also seen a group of five playing cards, a journalist reading, and a very important ship's figure staring at the painting above the fireplace. Emil was in the center of it all, sitting on a curved couch. According to Stewart, Emil's lifejacket was untied and his hat was set aside, and he was staring off into space, pondering, remembering, fearful, confused...with his hands cupped in his lap. Reportedly, he was catatonic. Stewart left and only one man followed, a cardsman who had won money from his four friends and escaped in Collapsible C.
Emil was finally seen at around 2:07, very late in the sinking, after the last lifeboat, Collapsible D, had long gone. He was standing on the port side boat deck with three others - Col. John Jacob Astor IV, Maj. Archibald W. Butt, and Jacquez Futrelle. The group was chatting and smoking, but Emil was mostly silent, looking down.
Moments later, the three with him dissapeared and he was left on deck, standing near the falls for Lifeboat 8. Right at that moment the Boat Deck was washed with a wave, sweeping off the deck. Emil was last seen struggling to pull his fur overcoat off, and to tie his lifejacket. The man who spotted him had looked away for one second, and when he looked back the spot Emil once was was washed away in the roaring water, and a clot of people swam aft. Emil was never seen again, he either swam and froze or didn't tie his lifejacket in time and drowned.
Julius and Mary later had three more children - Eleanor (1916-1995), Nicholas (1918-1899), and Alice (1920-2002). Tragically, Mary died young, in 1925, at only age 43. Millie was next, tragically being killed at home by a bomb with her husband Robert Smith (1901-1944) and her fifteen year old son, Bernard (1929-1944). Ruth died in 1957, at the age of 97, outliving her daughter, granddaughter and second husband.
Tillie lived until 2003, marrying Simon Nicholson (1899-1977), and having several children, Chester (1926-1981), Ethel (1928-2009), Clarence (1928-1994), and Catherine (b. 1931). Catherine is the only one still alive - the great-great granddaughter of Emil.
If you've read this far, please comment "Emil!". Thank you for reading,
I’m just here to comment saying I didn’t read that far lol just scrolled all the way down
None of this is accurate. You got almost all of the people’s names along with their DOB and DOD. The daughter that you claim was killed by a bomb doesn’t even exist. Emil’s grandchildren were named Beatrice and Alice.

The story of J. (Joseph) Dawson is both hysterical and sad at the same time. Concerning the obsession that came from the movie and DiCaprio's character, like sending flowers, rings and other gifts to the grave in Halifax. Even though Cameron's character is unrelated to J. Dawson.
What a beautiful Tribute to the lives and families that were lost on that terrible night we will never forget those souls and survivors who went through this tragedy and you are to be commended on the hard work you put together to do this documentary of the true story ❤🙏❤🌹🙏
Thank you for bringing up the stories of the Laroche family and the Chinese passengers. That part of the disaster has been sadly ignored until very recently.
what about the lone Japanese Passenger?
And the Japanese guy too
I think you did this really well. The absolute tragedy of it all really hits home when you hear all these stories of survival, or loss. And in many cases, what they went on to do afterwards.
Captivating video. This tragedy is universally relatable. Maybe that's because all on board were just people living their lives as we all do every day, each with an individual life story, none suspecting their story was about to end when they boarded the Titanic. To all who perished, RIP.
Many thanks Alice, I don't think the video was too long, lots of info and it was well worth the watch👏🏽🌻
Thank you for all of the work you put into this video. I enjoyed it very much, and learned from it. I came about my own interest I the Titanic in a strange way. Many years ago, when I was 13, I was riding my bike through a local cemetery with a friend of mine. My wheel hit a stone and I fell on my back and looking up at a memorial stone in honor of a man who went down on the Titanic. I'd never heard of it before, but later that day my parents told me about that fateful maiden voyage and all of the lives lost. Not long after, I read A Night To Remember. I've been interested ever since. Again, thank you, and I've just subscribed.
Nice to see Hudson Allison and family mentioned. Members of my mother's family.
Oh?
Everyone here should do their own version of this video and add whomever they want. I learned a lot watching this video but lets face it there were thousands of people on that ship she couldn’t possibly tell every one of their stories in this one video.
Excellent 👏👏👍 Thank you 👌 Rich 🇬🇧
I think we can all agree that Lightoller was an absolute badass
He was so erotic and sensual
I just don't see much to respect him for. I still can't believe what he said to Lord Mersey that there was this "combination of extraordinary circumstances which you would not meet again in 100 years" and "that they should have all existed on this particular night shows, of course, that everything was against us." That's not a ship's officer, that's a teen
That was such a great, well thought out and well executed video. So important to remember the people who survived and died that night. You should be extremely proud of this video!! Thank you and I shall subscribe tout de suite! 🙂 xx
I love this video! It’s very informative and doesn’t include any false information for the sake of making things more dramatic, I appreciate that.
Percy Taylor and Theo Brailey were pianists.
Hartley, Hume, Woodward, Clarke and Taylor played in the First Class Reception Area.

Thank you. I've read and watched several different docs concerning the Titanic. Yours has been, quite easily, among the top for detail, empathy, vocal tone and let's never forget the people you've chosen as a subjects. Thank you so very much.
You have a brilliant way of hitting the right tone and presentation with the topics you pick! I love listening to you. I can do it for hours!
Beautiful and emotive memorial to all the lives lost and to those who struggled to survive. Thank you Alice of Sherwood!! I'm so glad to have stumbled across your channel :)
Thank you for doing this, I feel you have given some voices who for a long time their story has been tainted by various versions.
This is is so thorough and amazing. I can’t thank you enough. I am in disbelief this hasn’t blown up or gone viral!
Why wasn't Molly Brown allowed to testify
Simply because she was a mere woman. Remember, women only started to develop brains later in the 20th century😂
Maggie* Brown
You did a great job on this documentary and I’ll be looking forward to your next installment,
Alice.
Happy birthday too
Thank you for sharing. The more the future knows of such a horrific happening the better. So much of history has been lost nowadays.
A third class story that would have fit well is the story of Samuel Beard Risien and his wife Emma. According to Encyclopedia Titanica, family lore has it they booked third class to hide that they were carrying suitcases full of diamonds from Emma's family's mine in South Africa. I became interested in this story because I know descendants of Mr. Risien's brother.
This was an absolutely brilliant video, the best I have ever seen that dealt with this angle of the Titanic disaster. Perhaps a similar video on famous faces of the Lusitania?
This was wonderful - you did an amazing job with this telling .An early happy birthday .🌹
Thank you for all your research & hard work on this. So much loss.
Thank you for doing this video. I learned so much about some of the passengers
This was long. However I watched until the end. Interesting, heartbreaking and glad you did it.
Excellent presentation ❤
Absolutely fantastic job! I learned so much. 🎉. A couple of pronunciation tips for American place-names: Mobile, Alabama is pronounced “mo-BEEL”, for Chicago… the “Ch” is a sh sound. Same is true for the US state of Michigan if you ever come across it.
Thank you for making this video. It is said, but needs to be told.
This was a great video, even if a few notables were left out. It's nice to put the faces to the names all in one video.
This video is a work of art. The resreach that went into is above and beyond. You should be absolutely proud of yourself. I am. Congratulations on one brilliant, well researched video.
Titanic wasn't the world worst sea tragedy it was the german. Ship Wilhelm Gustav carrying german war refugees and sunk by the russian submarine in the closing stages of the second world war, there was twice amount of passengers on board, much more than the titanic...
Of course- I think this hits doff b/c it was not wsr, unexpected, & not enough lifeboats..also fich/ poor segregation..kwim:(
I liked the video, the narrator's passion of the subject is much appreciated. I don't really want to nitpick about pictorial or film clip accuracyfrom many Titanic movies as to who is being talked about. Nevertheless it goes on throughout the presentation. For instance Daniel Guggenheim's story is complimented by several clips from Titanic movies but a still picture of Thomas Andrews is constantly inserted when Andrews had already been talked about. Some important omissions were the Strausses, Millvina and her family, and Presidential advisor Archibald Butt. But I like the labor of love to the story.
Amazing video. Good luck hitting your next subscription goal.
This video was a lot of work, thanks for making it!!
Hi Alice! Watching from Virginia (USA). Love love love your videos. :)
Okay had to stop you had me crying halfway through. I may have to give the rest of this a skip my husband is in the navy and his ship is underway (out to see if you don't know) and this had crying over the loss of life and then anxiety over the what ifs with my husband. You do good work and I love your channel I just can't with this.
I have been studying Titanic and it’s passengers for some time. I am most intrigued by this event. I missed Violet Jessop’s story. It is a good one. Generally I thought the presentation an excellent one.
I agree her story is the coolest.
There is a book about her, not sure if it is still in print though
I absolutely enjoyed this video!! Thankyou!! Frederick Fleet had a very sad end!! Thankyou for mentioning him. 🌹
Absolutely incredable thank you..
If the look outs had not seen the berg, or they were slower at responding, if the captain had slowed the ship, if Philips hadn't shut the California up, if the fire hadn't occurred in the coal bunker or if the bulkheads went higher. They're the ifs. The absolutely no excuse is that Ismay put visuals above the safety of his passengers, Andrew's original layout had enough lifeboat capacity to meet the ship's capacity. It wasn't full on the maiden voyage. Nobody had to die.
You didn't mention that the musicians' families received invoices for their uniforms after the notification that they were dead.
There could have been lifeboats for all passenger, but that doesn’t mean more people would have survived. Minutes before the titanic sank there were still two lifeboats who weren’t launches properly. So, there wouldn’t have been enough time to launch all lifeboats and save more people if there were enough lifeboats for everyone.
@@Letico98James Cameron did a test with the lifeboats it took him and his team around 30/40 minutes it sort and lower one and this was by hand more lifeboats wouldn’t have helped
It happened! No point in criticizing.
Good job! Happy birthday!
Ismay was a strikingly handsome man!
That alone doesn't do it
Thanks for uploading
You left out Colonel Archibald Butts, who was a close personal friend of the then current American President ( I believe it was Chester Arthur) he was acting as an ambassador to the Holy See in Rome. He sill has relatives here in Augusta, Georgia. One of the oldest, and most ornate bridges in town, Butts Memorial Bridge, still spans the Augusta Canal.
WH Taft. Not Arthur.
He was a friend of Teddy Roosevelt
thank you. very well done
Great Video!
Impressive memorial, sublime research! Lovely narration, clear, impeccable English accent. Thank you. 😇🤗💃
Fascinating special that you have put together. I have been watching a lot of these lately and when you mentioned the violin. I saw an interesting video on how that was recently discovered in somebody's attic and then it was sold for that amount of money. It is actually on display on loan. Somewhere
Great documentary about the people who were on Titanic 🥇great research
Well put together, very interesting
Very nicely presented. Respectful, interesting and Much Appreciated.
Hello Alice. I watched this last night and it was great how you did it all. Very sad i know but these people will be remembered by your hard work you did. I would love a Titanic boat built like a hotel for anyone to stay in and have some kind of experience, em like on BBC 2 they have had programmes about people living back in time. :-))
Amazing video thanks
Captain smith was seen by some of his crew leaving the bridge and jumping into the ocean as the bow was submerged they called to him for rescue but he ignored their calls and went down there is actual testimony from the crew that confirm this he wasn’t last seen on the bridge but in the water
There are several stories of what happen captain Smith and Andrews that depends who saw what and when. In the latest Titanic document are told that a survivors saw both Smith and Andrews jump into sea together from the bridge just before it collapsed and Andrews got crushed under falling deprise. Smith vanished soon afterwards propably died in hypothermia like the most of the others there. How ever it is clear , and several people have told this, Andrews was seen on a deck throwing seats and everything else into sea what could help people float. So the last sighting of him cannot been inside Titanic but he was seen on the deck by several people afterwards trying to do all what could help the people. Also. This Andrews didn't know the boat was sinking is a rubbish. Andrews was among those first men who went into boilerrooms to check out how bad was the damage. He also came first on the deck after the crash on iceberg.
From what I've heard Ismay had had a disagreement with Randolph Hearst prior to the Titanic sinking , and it was Hearst who had portrayed Ismay as a coward
correct from when he was working as a agent for white star 💫✨ New York offices. while visiting a gentleman club with a friend of his, he was introduced to Randolph, however though Ismay didn't quite get use to the American lack of casual aquantanship
From what I can tell, Ismay was a coward and should have been imprisoned
For what? What was his crime? Being a coward isn’t a crime it’s a character flaw. So why should he be imprisoned? Enthrall me with your acumen.
Just some friendly advice: keep the info about the person up longer (it went away too quickly so I had to keep going back to be able to read it all or pause on it and i'm a pretty fast reader) and speak a little slower because I missed a solid 50% of what you said it kinda felt like I was in a rush to hear you ha so I had to go back to listen to it again. You have a really beautiful voice (then again i've always been a sucker for British accents 😉💕), great narration and well made videos but I had trouble with those two things. Not trying to be rude by the way just trying to help 🙂
I strongly understand that and I agree and it wasn't being rude,but rather honest and I think very helpful for a much better video...take care from HOUSTON
excellent job ...humanizing this great tragedy!
How could you not include Miss Eva Hart? She was the last survivor that could actually tell about the sinking. Every documentary that I have seen, she was quite knowledgeable and believable. Just wondering.
AHEM, Tillie Taussig would like to have a word for "last survivor that could actually tell about the sinking".
Over 700 people survived the sinking, she could into include all of them, and people like Eva Hart have had their stories told umpteen times, it was good to hear about many of the others that survived.
Beautiful remembrance
Thank you
Thank you so much for your inclusion of the Laroche Family. As an African American male, it noteworthy that we had persons who experienced this devastating tragedy as well, and the Father gave his last ounce of strength to save his family.
Very sad but thank you
30:13 Approach to the New World" was actually the picture on the Olympic, in her 1st-class smoking room. The one on the Titanic was "Plymouth Harbor." Both are by the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson who in 1917 invented dazzle painting
Towards the end in "A Night to Remember" there's that fellow throwing wood chairs into the sea. Thomas Andrews was actually the one who did that as per another doc here on RUclips "Retracing Their Footsteps: Thomas Andrews (SHIPBUILDER)"
Just one thing I note herein. Phillips body was recovered. There was a big funeral held for him I. His home town of Colne Lancashire
I borderline lost my mind when I found out Dorothy Gibson became a Nazi sympathizer. Literally WTF….
Look up John 'jack' Foley. He was crew that saved 50 people and got away lifeboat 4.
21:37 Binoculars or no, Frederick Fleet knew exactly what that bump on the horizon was. (Talk about him, he had just about the right last name for a seaman.)
Captain Smith went off the ship as the bow went down under the waves and he was with Thomas Andrews.
I have heard different versions about how either of them died. And on that note First Officer Murdoch, Capt Smith, and Thomas Andrews may in the end have actually chosen to go down with the ship rather than potentially get faced with hefty, unpleasant grilling at court (and probably jail time too, on top of that). The reasons are very cogent: Murdoch issued the very orders that failed to save the ship; Capt Smith and Thomas Andrews knew exactly that the Titanic had far from enough lifeboats
Fun fact: The same actor who played Lookout Fleet in “A Night To Remember” (1958) played Col. Archibald Gracie in “Titanic” (1997)
This is a well pieced together story of the people involved in the Titanic. Very well done and concise about facts and the biographies of the characters and their roles in the story as a whole.
It's also a shame it's so disrupted by commercial ads every 3 minutes and absolutely kills the flow of the video just to sell something ad nauseum. Very distracting.
The Jones Road Face Balm allows you to color your face in assorted colors by smearing it on liberally to fill in your wrinkles, so you can look 24 again as a 72 year old. The fact I saw this 10 times in between seeing how the Titanic victims perished really made me understand what "Overkill" means.
Hello Curt.
Thanks for letting me know about the ad situation. I swear I only put a few in there when I originally uploaded the video. I've fixed it now. Sometimes RUclips does that to videos without creators' knowledge or consent. Even after we have fixed our own mid-rolls.
Humble Thanks.
Thankyou for the history
Thank you so much! I would like to know more about the stories of the people on the Titanic, both the survivors and those who died.
2:03 This is from that cool 1958 film "A Night to Remember"; the soundtrack composer for it, William Alwyn, was alive for a few days yet following Robert Ballard's expedition's discovery of the wreck. As it turned out, he died ten days later, on September 11 1985
I have several questions about the sinking.
The FRANKFURT: Wasn't she basically to wait because she belonged to a competitor? Wasn't she closer than the CARPATHIA?
Wasn't it standard practice, at the time, to shut down the wireless from midnight until 5/6 AM as many ships only had one operator?
What about Malvina Dean?
Wasn't there a Hart that survived as well?
I always understood that Captain Smith and Thomas Andrew's tried jumping into the water.
Miriam Hart and her daughter Eva survived.
Excellent , unsinkable Alice
I have a question where did u find that picture of Harold bride was that when he was alittle bit older??? I don't know where u found it at because I cannot find it all except a few ones.
U forgot Quigg Edmond Baxter. And the wideners
