When the Titanic finally lost its battle with the North Atlantic sea and disappeared into the abyss below the waves, it was and still is one of the worst maritime disasters to ever take place. Taking with it over 1,500 lives, it is without a doubt one of the most famous tragedies in modern day history.
The story itself is well known. Nicknamed the “unsinkable ship”, after having departed Southampton, England on the 10th April 1912, the Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage to travel to New York City.
The ship had contained a mixture of class of passenger, from millionaires and businessmen, to the lower class of society who were eager to begin a new life in America.
But just five days into the journey, disaster struck when the ships starboard side scraped alongside a giant iceberg that had already been reported floating around 400 nautical miles south off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
The rest, as we know is history, and the story of the Titanic has been written in many books, as well as turned into movies and documentaries, with some perhaps adding mythology into the mix.
And this brings us to the story of a small group of courageous men, and one in particular, who have quite rightly become the epitome of the heroics that took place during that frightening and devastating morning on Monday, 15th April, 1912.
This is our tribute to Wallace Hartley, bandmaster for the RMS Titanic.

after chatting to you , great stuff
Hi days of horror. I enjoyed watching the video. The body of Wallace Hartley was found on the 25th April. In the Leeds Mercury newspaper on Monday 29th April 1912 it is stated that there have been more victims remains taken on board the Mackay Bennett ship which included the body of Wallace Hartley. The notification in the article is dated Saturday which would have been the 27th April 1912, so the body was found prior to the 27th April. Also in an official registry of Hartley, a.k.a. Body 224, it stated that his body had been in the water 10 days after the disaster which would have been the 25th April 1912. So the body of Wallace Hartley was found and identified on the 25th April 1912. The chapel where the body of Wallace was taken to is no longer standing and was demolished. The original 1857 chapel until 1873 which became too small still stands across the road. They then built the 700 capacity chapel which no longer stands.The original chapel was then used as the Sunday school until the 1882 Sunday school was built which is now the current chapel and seen in the video
Chris your technical skills are geting realy good, fantastic opening. It dosnt matter to what point they stoped playing...they played as long as they physically could. They had no way of getting off...that should be highlighted but they self sacrificially did all they could to alleviate the fears of others...true heros.
Colne has such a great musical history I used to love going to the British Rytham and Blues festival held in the town. Best memory was in a Chinese afterwards and a guy ordered special fried rice....it came with spam in it...he looked at it and declared to the whole chippy...How long has Spam been Chinese ????
Thanks for your kind words 😃 From reading many articles on the story written in the papers at the time, I believe the witnesses heard the band play that hymn. But just like today, there are cynics who will always find something 'flawed' no matter what. I couldn't believe how many letters were sent to the newspapers from people not believing the witness accounts.
Some say on foggy nights on the Atlantic, you can still hear a violin playing Nearer My God to Thee
Something tells me I've also heard of that 🤔 I'm sure I read this in one of those older 'haunted' books.
@@DaysofHorror Boo
another brilliantly put together video mate. I really do look forward to your next ones. 😎👌.
I'm gonna have to start sharing your videos to get you some more subs as you should have thousands by now with the work you put into it
Many thanks for the kind words! We have loads more coming up!
Wallace Hartley is my daughters step mothers great grandfather. If that makes sense. Beautiful place.
Colne has a tremendous amount of history. I was surprised how much when I was looking into the Wallace Hartley story. And I only live 15 minutes away 🤣 Thanks for watching 😁
Wallace Hartley didn't have any children
There is no doubt that they played to calm everyone and played the ‘nearer my god to thee’ hymn, but it’s a ghastly horrible lie to say that they played as the titanic was sinking. This is proven fact not only by the inquiry, but also by at least two known survivor’s who could recall the incident and their stories. Eva Hart and Edith Russell. Their stories are on TH-cam if anyone’s interested, I’m more familiar with Eva Hart’s story as she’s from the area in which I live too. She also has a Pub named after her.
Terrific film. I've just come across your channel and have subscribed. I can't believe how much content you've accumulated. I am certainly going to enjoy catching up with your videos. I did a video about Wallace's home of 1912 in Dewsbury. Have a look at my channel if you get chance its all about history, walks & travel.
Many thanks!! And I'll certainly pop on over to your channel 👍 I'm hoping we are getting better at talking about the stories we cover. It's still a little awkward talking in front of a camera 🤣
@@DaysofHorror You don't come across awkward at all. Whilst I have put quite a few films on YT I've only recently tried vlogging and I don't find it easy at all so only the latest film is a vlog. I was given some advice about talking to camera especially in public and that was a doctor doesn't become a doctor overnight they go to medical school. So I am going to hold on to that thought in future and hope practice makes me better. Good luck in all you do.
