The Titanic Enquiry Animated!
This video brings to life the extraordinary events of May 1912 when the British enquiry into the Titanic disaster began.
Here you can watch the evidence given by Lady Duff-Gordon who, along with her husband, had the distinction of being one of only two passengers interviewed in the British enquiry. Not because they’d seen something extraordinary during the sinking but, rather, because they, along with ten others, made their escape in a lifeboat designed to hold 40 people.
Following their escape from the sinking ship Lucy commented to her secretary, Laura Francatelli “There is your beautiful nightdress, gone.” One of the firemen in the boat, annoyed by the comment replied that the Duff-Gordon’s could replace all they’d lost but that the crew had all lost their entire kit and their pay ended when Titanic went down.
Afterwards, on board Carpathia, Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff-Gordon presented each member of the boat crew with a cheque (purportedly to replace their lost kits) and had a picture taken of the boat’s survivors. It was this gift that spurred speculation that the crew were bribed to stay clear of the people in the water, and not attempt to return to pick up people from the water.
The press, first in America, but also increasingly in England began to question if the gift was indeed a bribe to keep the boat from returning to collect others from the water. The Duff-Gordons, eager to protect themselves, requested to testify before the Wreck Commissioner to clear themselves.
The rest of the witnesses called to the enquiry were employees on board the ship. Lucille Duff-Gordon was also one of only three ladies called to testify, the other two women being stewardesses.

    What a great video, thank you. Warrior is a wonderful ship, i get to visit 4 or 5 times a year, and always look forward to my visits. Many thanks should go to the Dock workers in Hartlepool who transformed warrior from a hulk to the beauty we see today. what a wonderful job they did.

    Very nice video! I was impressed with the animation and liked the description of the ship’s landing signal system, which I wasn’t familiar with. A useful bit of information not mentioned related to the unique identification marking system of IJN carrier aircraft and how it visually linked aircraft with their respective ships. Regarding the targeted Hawaiian airfields, the main US Army Air Force base was Hickam Field and “Kaneohe Field” was actually Naval Air Station Kaneohe.

    This is excellent. However, I really feel the battle can't be fully understood without knowing the Via Dolorosa the Russians trod in somehow coming over 18,000 miles to meet the Japanese in the Straits of Tsushima. Put simply, the Russian fleet was the worst on the high seas, an "archaeological collection of naval architecture" (to quote the bitter words of its commander Adm. Rozhestvensky), manned by ill-trained and demoralized conscripts led by often incompetent and untrustworthy officers (whose presence accounts for the competent and trustworthy Rozhestvensky's temper, which only grew more vile as he shepherded this ragtag gang of lunatic cats to its doom). The result of the Russians' ill-preparedness can be seen in this video's schematic view of the battle. To be blunt, the Japanese know what they're doing; the Russians don't. Thus the former systematically and mercilessly slaughter the latter, no matter how hard the Russians try to fight.

    Sinking ships displace so much water that they create a suction effect. Dragging smaller things around them into the depths. Add that to the freezing temperatures of the water. It is feasible that anyone still alive after the ship sank was too weak to cry out.

    totally amazing. Might have been completely destroyed by now, the ruins, that is. Maybe they will find it FROZEN in the Antarctica one day, would be epic if completely intact, though doubtful.
