On the night of April 14, 1912, 2,224 people faced doom in the middle of the fridge north Atlantic. The luxury liner hailed as unsinkable was about to do just that and disappear beneath the waves. The tragedy has long captured the public imagination with heroic tales of millionaire John Jacob Astor going down with the ship like a gentleman and fictionalized romances about people who weren’t really on board. Today lets met a handful of the real women who were on board that terrible night. We’ll learn more about the famous first class ladies like Madeline Astor and Molly Brown but also met some of the lesser known passengers of second and third class including the only black family aboard. And we’ll meet a crew member who was truly unsinkable.
First Class:
Helen Churchill Candee
Molly Brown
Lady Lucy Duff-Gordon
Madeline Astor
Noël Leslie, Countess of Rothes
Ida Straus
Second Class:
The Hart Family (Eva Heart)
The Laroche Family
The West Family (Barbara West)
Third Class:
The Goodwin Family (The Unknown Child)
The Dean Family (Millvina Dean)
Crew:
Violet Jessop

Ship: (starts to sink)
Violet Jessop: Aw shit, here we go again
You have made my day hahaha
I see this exact comment on every single video that mentions her...
Get some originality
Why am I laughing?
I SHOULD *NOT* BE LAUGHING!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Esther Heart: So, you still think I"m crazy?
@@PsionicDiamond ikr its so unoriginal
Lesson learned: don’t go on ships that call themselves unsinkable.
Titanic and its Owners n Builders never called her unsinkable. That was the press who said that.
Evas mother knew
Lesson learned: go on ships that seem sinkable as hell
@@HorseCrazieGirl15
Lesson learned:
Never trust the media.
We’ll done, truly interesting
I had an ancestor who worked on the Titanic. He escaped in one of the collapsible. One of my favorite Molly Brown stories, is that she demanded a refund from White stare line because she didn't make half the journey on the Titanic.
She makes a good point.
Sounds like a edwardian era karen to me 😂
“The Unsinkable Molly Brown” is a baller name to be known by too
I like that broad!
@@SallyTheWolf But she had her life on the line because of their carelessness toward the ship possibly sinking, of course she wanted a refund!
Did anyone else cry when she was talking about the families saying their final goodbyes to each other? 😭
Yes. Good to know I wasn't the only one.
@@FYTJ I cried like a baby!
I couldn't stop tearing up throughout the whole video. Poor people:(
Yes 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
And the whole family that didn't survive and those beautiful souls who gave the baby a final resting place 😭
I’m surprised we haven’t made any movies about these women tbh. Yet we make movies about this tragedy through fake romances because it’s “more sad”. I think the story of John Jacob Astor and his wife is important because it truly shows how terrible this was. That child didn’t even get to meet his father. Honestly I think that it’s more sad
A few of these people were actually in the infamous Titanic film. Molly Brown had a couple films and I think a play about her.
I agree with you, historical fiction is dumb.
His son was also not left a lot of his estate because John Jacob Astor hadn't changed his will, he died of course before he could, so that branch of the Astors was not really rich like his older children from his first marriage!
To be fair Molly Brown is in the 1997 Titanic movie
@@starrsmith3810 Actress was spot on, I think.
Violet Jessop deserves a movie
Here here!
true
Do you know that your son his wife’s he had more than one wife he had six wives he had beheaded two of his wives!😡
I’ve heard that a Titanic Survivor said that she didn’t want the ship to be raised up to the land. Years pass now her wish is true
Hi
Hey Liz, how’s it hanging in the afterlife?
Eva Hart 😊❤ she said it was her father's grave and it didnt want it raised
Liz, since I am not as popular anymore I have been thinking I should abdicate the throne as Queen of the Comment Section. Do you want it if I give it up?
@@ianbat7092 Hi, i am from Trinidad. Nice to meet you👋☺️🇹🇹
tomorrow is the 109th anniversary of the Titanic sinking.
rest in peace to all who perished in the sinking
may they rest in peace
@@christoffellner84 Amen !
I recently found out that Titanic passenger Elisabeth Walton Allen is my fifth cousin. She was a survivor from first class and apparently her cabin cost the equivalent of $34,000 US dollars today. 😱
Wow wouldn't that be like 8 generations back? Amazing find!
How funny! I roleplay as Miss Elizabeth W. Allen in the Roblox Titanic game 😂 I saw her name in the passenger manifest and thought she would be fun to play. What a coincidence!
How can she be your fifth cousin if she lived over 100 years ago?
Damn Esther wasn’t playing around with that “unsinkable” nonsense. She saved her family’s life that night that’s incredible
People probably thought she was crazy, but soon found out how right she was.
Give that woman a hand for being ready and saving her daughter
Said that God couldn't even sink the ship. I'd be on edge too 🥴
Ida's last words:I will not be separated from my husband as we have lived so we will die together they were last seen together on the prominent deck arm and arm ready to face death together
You can't even imagine what went through their heads, staying on board and knowing at some point that night their lives would be over! I can imagine it seems a bit surreal at some points!
@@lozzylols yep
i would like to see a movie about them
Goddaaamn that is so scary
Did you hear her say it
Wow, Kathy Bates really looked like Molly Brown! That's good casting!
Debbie Reynolds played her in 1964, but you're right, Kathy Bates looked much more like her.,
@@barbarak2836 yea but I don’t think Debbies was for accuracy it was entertainment hence how she’s got no parents is adopted by hillbillies Mary’s the right man except he is a gold miner and that’s how they get rich he finds gold on his own plus society subs her till
After she goes abroad I mean don’t get me wrong that was one of my favorite Debbie movies as a kid but I think Kathy did a better version but debbies is far more entertaining
@@kkandsims4612 Debbie's was a fun musical. I haven't seen it for years, but I'm guessing it wasn't terribly factual!
Debbie Reynolds played Molly Brown in 1964 in the movie The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
Ditto
A close friend mine's great grandmother was supposed to board the Titanic on the 2nd class. She and her husband didn't arrive on time, and the boat already left.
That's lucky
Good luck lol hope they got a refund
Well they dodged a bulle- well iceberg
Sometimes it pays off to be late... ;)
The fact that the Titanic's sinking could have been avoided is insanely disappointing. But the women on board are so inspiring!
For real that guy being told life boats were unnecessary another guy not getting on with the binoculars making seeing the iceberg impossible
@@tashacooper1753 i watched a documentary and it was reported that another ship was also nearby in the same waters. The man on that ship sent a message to the titanic letting them know that they were icebergs all around and that they needed to stop for the night just like they were doing on his ship. He said the man responded with a snarky comment about how he wasn't going to relay the message to the captain for them to stop. The guy on the other ship got upset by his remark and turned his machine off for the night and went to bed. This is the same ship the guy on the titanic was calling out to and i believe the same ship who came in the morning to get the ppl off the life boats. I was completely shocked
I can't even imagine being as brave as Violet Jessop. Three shipwrecks and she still worked on ships. I would refuse to step on board a single ship after just one accident.
Same
While my husband and I were on our honeymoon in Gatlinburg TN we visited the Titanic museum. It is one of my favorite tourist attractions ever. They have the violin on showcase that was found in the wreck. They also have a replica of the grand staircase (perfect for pictures) In the Orchestra room, they have a grand piano and someone started playing Nearer My God to Thee. Gosh it gave me goosebumps. I suggest everyone who can, go see it. It’s a wonderful experience.
They also give you a name card with someone who was on board the Titanic, you read their story and sometimes find their names through out the exhibit. At the end you can find their names and whether they died or survived.
They travelled with the exhibit and came to my town about two years ago now. It is absolutely amazing, they even provided a piece of an iceberg that you could touch to get a better idea of just how cold it was. The museum that hosted it even held a Tiantic party the first weekend it was here!
When I finally got to go, there was group in front of my mom and I that was so disrespectful. As they sat in front of the recreation of the engine doors they said, "Well all those men would have died from black lung in a year or two anyways, that's not much of a loss." Mom stopped me from chewing them out, bu got so angry I burst into tears.
I've been there too I love it I'd definitely go again one of my favorite parts is feeling how cold the water was my mom and I both got women who survived but where in mental asylums for the rest of their lives
The iceberg and water they have in the exhibit is super cold, obviously.
My mom and I went when the exhibit came to Colorado.
They also have a Titanic museum in Branson mo
I went in Las Vegas as a kid. It was super fun, but so sad.
One of my late uncles 5 generations removed was a member of Titanics crew who gave up his seat on a life boat to save the life of a nurse. He sadly perished with the Titanic. But his bravery is what a true British gentleman is made of.
Damn I wouldn’t even be able to afford the cheapest ticket that was an expensive ship
That transition to the sponsor was so smooth!
THERE WAS A BLACK FAMILY ON BOARD !!! OMG I love learning new things like this, I could never have imagined
I remember reading about it when I was younger. I couldn’t imagine being the only black family on a ship like that....
I learned about this only a couple years ago, after being a titanic fanatic I was almost ashamed I didn't learn this sooner. Heh
Me too I’m Mexican American I consider myself Latino my Family we have Afro Latino my family proud of my interracial family.
@@hatedbymanylovedbyfew3567 Will you please explain Afro Latino to me? There was an argument in a chat about this.
@@kenyaking9971 Afro Latina, someone who is Of African and Latin heritage. Since Latino isn’t a race you can be both.
Tomorrow will be the anniversary of all these people’s deaths. RIP. Nobody deserved to die, and we should be grateful this many survived.
And April 15th
Most of these people survived. Only Ida (+ Isidor) Strauss, the Goodwin family and the Hart, Laroche, West and Dean husbands died.
+piratesswoop
I meant in general
sad to think that only a third of the passengers survived
There were dogs on the ship too, and there was a cat. Unfortunately most of the dogs and the cat did not survive... 😔
i heard that the cat did survive!
:(

I have always been fascinated by the Titanic. Especially the women. Thank you Lindsay!
Don’t say ‘I have’! Talks about us. My fathers precious jewel
Hello Queens!
@@epcotethan9557 hello!
@@jahrellemc 😦. Your majesty. Bows
Too many queens in one comment section haha!
Queens have some gifts! 💐🍬🍰🎁🧸
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for mentioning the only black family on board! Many Titanic historians either forget about them or choose to leave them out.
I didn’t even know until right now that there was a black family on the titanic.
@@Emeraldbarton Neither did I.
I did not know before this either.
Technically it wasn't black, it was interracial family. They traveled second class and Joseph Laroche (who was black) died while his wife Juliette Lafargue (who was white) survived as did their children.
They don’t forget, they simply choose not too
These women make me feel so unaccomplished lol what amazing people!
People were mature a lot sooner than we are nowadays. How much of my teens and 20's i pissed away on "not knowing how to adult". Ugh, such a waste of time!
@@gg_ingylife expectancy a couple of hundred years ago were in the 50s, so you will hear a lot of “underage” marriages and people taking on responsibility at what we would now considered as ridiculously young ages. People back then were literally in a race against time.
@@PungiFungi Yeah, but this was early in 20th century, where average life expectancy was 70+ I get your point though, but right now we're maybe too immature fot too long. I personally blame boomer/gen x parents, majority of them didn't teach their kids basic skills anymore, making younger generations dependent on others, only being good at 1 thing they studied.
@@gg_ingy I honestly think there should be a mandatory course in college or at least in high school that teaches you basic life skills like how to buy a house, buy a car, get a loan, the concept of mortgaging your house, start a business, life insurance, etc etc. I graduated from college practically knowing next to nothing about the real world.
@@PungiFungi I feel like they plan it that way. Less life skills make predatory loans easier
when os saw how many men died is really cried just imagne it was your father saying goodbye to you at an sinking boat
I love this serious version of Violet Jessop’s history. Puppet History did a really funny version, and I recommend it.
I love puppet history I got a mug with the professor crossing the Delaware River with all the other characters Shane definitely does a good job
@@sarahsmith4205omg yes!! long live the professor 💙😭
Oh my goodness, this is so, so sad. These families and people feel so much more real right now than ever before. This just shows what an amazing storyteller Lindsey is
One of the best Titanic retellings is 1958's A Night to Remember it follows several passengers from the different classes and takes great inspiration from many real life stories featured in this video.
Some Guy: This ship is so unsinkable even God himself couldn’t sink it...
The Iceberg: You think?
Plot twist: the iceberg was god
God: I will not be mocked!
God: Hold my wine. Gotta remind these folks just who I am
"Where you go, I go" WHEN I TELL YOU I BAWLED MY EYES OUT
It’s very sad that the Titanic went down and all those lives were lost.
The Goodwin family broke my heart...people full of dreams😭😭😭😭 I noticed her voice was affected while narrating some painful parts💔
If there was an unsinkable ship I would never enter it
Good idea, that would hex it into sinking.
Unsinkable is a joke.
@@SungSNam yep part 3 will come on Friday
@@Hello-yq8kk YES! THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME!
@@SungSNam I have 4 other siblings in the house, 3 sisters and 1 brother, They use the laptop and one of my sisters is revising for her A-levels, they are cancelled but they know what they learning and still doing the exam, I was expecting Part 3 on Monday but my sister needed to revise, Catherine of Aragon’s video is done but Im deciding to do upload on Friday but I can’t so I’ll upload next week, u should make some sort of channel, your learning of history is developing really well due to Lindsay! Good luck if u wanting to do that
Those poor people
These women proved many things in that time
May they Rest In Peace
I’m actually reading Violet Jessops memoirs at the moment. It’s an extremely intertaining read and I really recommend it!
Titanic: *sinks*
Violet Jessop: HA. That’s cute. *lives until 83*
She lived until 83 despite having a really bad head concussion. Now that’s one fine women.
This is so sad! 😢😭 The Titanic didn't deserve to sink. It must have been a hard video for you to make without you crying. It was certainly hard for me to watch without crying. My heart goes out to the 2,224 people who suffered that tragic night, the ones who tragically lost their lives and the survivors! May they all rest in peace! ❤💖💝💖❤
I’m just thinking Lindsay would have made a fabulous secondary school history teacher. My teacher was boring as can be and not as humorous as Lindsay makes history to be.
totally know what you mean. thanks to my high school history teacher, i fell in love with history. HATED it before & now obsessed with history.
Lindsay is so talented. I love how she makes history comes to life and historical figures sounds like someone we know. This channel is so different from the other history channels. Idk, the perspective, delivery and stories of her videos are so unique and refreshing.
am I the only one who think that it's remarkable that Violet Jessop worked and survived on all three of the White Star line sisters
"A crew member who was truly unsinkable" love that line!
Violet Jessop is a literal queen
I fucking love Molly Brown. I think Kathy Bates was the perfect person to play her. They even kind of look alike
Maggie B: I’m the true survivor of the Titanic.
Vi: Are you sure about that? Did you survive the Olympic? Titanic or Britannic, served as a crew member or acted as a nurse in the war? Hmm? HMM???
Each and every story of the titanic is heartbreaking and tragic. Thank you for sharing such interesting stories. I’ve been fascinated by the titanic since I first saw the James Cameron film in 1997 in the movie theater (I was 8 or 9 years old).
Cool
Sameeeee all the school girls were
The story of Isador and Ida always makes me emotional 😢
He was willing to be a gentleman to the end and give up his own chance of survival for others and Ida loved him so much she decided that she rather die with him and by his side than live without him. Maybe she also didnt want him to die alone... (In the Titanic movie, they're the elderly couple hugging each other on the bed while the water rushes in the room around them 😢❤) If that's not true, genuine love then idk what is 😭
watch the original titanic movie, not the kate and leo one. their scene will make you CRY!!!
Edith Corse Evans is one of those people that seemed truly destined for the Atlantic ocean.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the titanic, so nice timing Lindsay 😂 R.I.P. to all lives lost during this tragic event. 😢
Yeah and April 15th.

I wouldnt be so sure she wasnt. lmfao

@@jonesvideo80 sorry im having a stroke
I will never forget when the titanic artifacts exhibit came to my local museum. I was young, around 4th or 5th grade. Its such a vivid memory because despite knowing little about the titanic, being around all of the items shook me up. It was like the energy of everyone on the ship, filled with fear and anger, was absorbed by the rusted forks and chipped china. Even through the glass i could feel it, it twisted my stomach into a pretzel. I've always been sensitive to stuff like that but I often think about this and wonder if anyone else has experienced something similar, especially at that exhibit...
Just incredibly inspiring and so very touching. That Violet lady was a might fierce gal! What a life story she had!!! Great video, as always. Thank you so much for all of your extensive research and for sharing this incredible story with us all. God bless you, my friend!
Hellen Churchill candee sounds amazing! They should make a film of her
That was the best ending you've ever made for your videos. Very touching.
Lindsey, you always being new light to old stories. I think it's your enthusiasm, perhaps - it's contagious! Molly and Noelle sound like they were amazing women!
Molly Brown, Violet Jessop, and Countess of Rothes were incredible women. Esther was smart as hell. And Ida’s loyalty is honestly admirable and sad at the same time.
Think about how scary it would be to have to make the decision to say goodbye to your family knowing that your children would have to grow up without you and that you will likely drown in the frozen water.
My ancestor died on the Titanic, after comforting a family he’d grown close to. He was just 21, I’m proud he was remembered kindly.
Thank you Lindsay for this video. This is by far the best video that I have seen that tell the stories of the Titanic passengers that I have seen. I have watched many because of Lady Noel, Countess of Rothes being a survivor. Being a Leslie myself, she is part of my heritage. I also had the honor of meeting her grandson, Lord Rothes a number of years back. You have done a great honor to a great lady.
I had a great great aunt on the Titanic. Her name was Hazel Fanner from the UK. She was First Class and was one of the the 700 survivors. RIP to all lives lost. I honour the survivors and all kind people who helped others on that terrible night.
Rest in peace to those who parished in this tragedy
So many dreams ruined like that... so sad... so many children fatherless... It's heartbreaking... it really is...
I’ve been waiting a long time for this
This is brilliant work, Lindsay. Thank you for your insight and humanity around that terrible night.
All these stories are so fascinating they could have done a whole movie series with each movie focusing on different families and their lives before and after (for those who survived) the Titanic!
Thank you for teaching us Lindsay, very much appreciated!
We have the original cabinets from the Molly Brown House at my home. My great grandfather did work on her home and somehow ended up with the cabinets. From Colorado to California.
One of your best yet, Lindsay! I was tearing up all throughout the video.
Fantastic video. Thank you!
Its such a sad story, so many people were so heroic
I think because of this tragedy they changed the number of how many lifeboats must be on ships
Before it was based on weight instead on how many people there were actually on board so the sad truth that even if all of the lifeboats were full only 2/3 amount of people would have survived
Iceberg: People always blaming me but what about the water!!
I love your videos, you make history so interesting!
Beautifully done Ms. Lady!!! This memorializes women in a tasteful way! This brought tears to my eyes and I thank you for that
I’m glad that people can still survive and tell their stories so that this doesn’t happen again.
Eh it was a freak accident. I mean, sharing their stories really didnt prevent future sinkings but it is extremely important for their stories to be told. It actually did help some of the safety protocols tho. Especially those that locked the 3rd class passengers to the bottom floor thus dooming them to death. After that there had to be multiple entrances on every floor and no floor can be entirely locked if said floor is the only way to "exit" to the top deck.
Ships started carrying more life boats after the titanic disaster.
Last titanic survivor died in 2011
No, 2009.
@@jencookie2920 oops ok
Excellent video, thank very much
One of my ancestors was 21 year old Harold J. Reynolds who was in 3rd class and died in the sinking
Thank You Lindsay!!💜💜
Love from Trinidad
The Allison Family should've been mentioned to the story. Bessie Daniels Allison, her husband Hudson and their 2 year old daughter, Helen Loraine, died on the ship while looking for their infant son, Trevor, who was saved in a lifeboat by nurse Alice Cleaver. Bessie's maid Sarah Daniels and cook Amelia Brown were also saved. Hudson's chauffeur, George Swane, also died. Bess was 1 of 4 women in 1st class that died. The other women were Edith Evans, Ann Isham and her Great Dane, and Mrs. Ida Straus and her husband Isidor. Loraine was the only child in 1st and 2nd class to die.
This made me cry. Thank you sharing.

Wow brilliant video, I learned so much from it - thank you and keep up the amazing work!
Thank you, for presenting this documentary in such a wonderful tone. Photos& music were perfectly blended with your narration.
EXCELLENT Presentation! Thanks for posting!
I had not heard some of those stories, thanks for sharing
This is the best one to date! Thanks!
This was very interesting. What lovely, brave and intrepid ladies. Beautiful narrated and illustrated. Thank you.
Fascinating! Amazing to hear what a cast of characters could be found aboard.
today 109 anniversary of the titanic sinking and to the descendants of those who survived the sinking and to those descendants from the relatives of those who perished that night, may you remember them.
I have watched several of your videos, they’re so interesting. This one is one of my favourites and my first time commenting. You have a lovely voice, perfect tone for such historical themes.
What a beautiful video! Loved the end with the hymn!❤
Great video as always ❤️
Thank you for all of your incredible work Lindsay! We love you, girl!
Omg I literally jumped outta my chair for this !! The Titanic story is near and dear.
Thank you for sharing
Wow! Listening to the video and thinking about the movie, you can see all the details!
Great video!!!!
I wasn't prepared to cry (again) today, but here we are...
Thank you for sharing these wonderful stories! Women's history is so neglected.
I enjoy this channel very much...
This has been my favorite and most informative so far... good job
