A year ago I thought I was the only person who found the titanic sinking extremely interesting. Now I found a whole community of like minded folks. Thanks.
@@paulanthony5274 I'm 29. And I am well aware that it's not the only nor was it the worse. The worse would have to go to the Wilhelm Gustloff but the titanic is the one that I am personally fascinated with.
More than 100 years later a new generation of people have discovered the story and become fascinated with it. For years after the ship sank no one even wanted to talk about it. Any "Titanic Memorabilia" still around was considered worthless, but a few items were saved.
@@CrispyMOFO91 The Wilhelm Gustloff was an act of war. That's a different situation. The circumstances surrounding the Titanic hae never been repeated.

I think it would be kind of like being in a war. Your buddies and fellow soldiers are screaming in terror as they are dying all around you. Miraculously you should survive and make it back home safely. I’ve heard people say that that stays with them for the rest of their lives and they never do get it out of their head. My uncle was a door gunner in Vietnam and for the longest time he wouldn’t talk anything about it, if a military helicopter flew over the trailer he’d run outside and start shaking, and to this day he won’t watch a war movie. But I do think he’s talked a little about some of it with my aunt in recent years. But she said it was a long time before he was doing that. The survivors of titanic were I’m sure haunted by their experience for the rest of their lives too.
Of all the stories on Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews’ final moments, the one I chose to believe was that they were on the bridge during the final plunge and jumped into the sea - never to be seen again
Life jacket imput , the titanic and all ships of that era used solid cork filling as flotation. Modern most modern ( except for recerational jackets ) are inflatable . And my naval training they beat into up in boot camp , if you have to go into the water never inflate your life jacket until you are in the water. So if you jump into the water with a solid jacket or an inflated jacket you are reducing your chances of survival. Also not on cork vests if you just drop over the side or let the ship sink under you , they can still kill you, the cork vest aboard the PS General Slocum were so old the filling disintagrated and instead of being boyant was like wearing a back of concrete powder around your neck.
@@philvanderlaan5942 Thanks for bringing up the General Slocum, a disaster many even haven't heard of, according to Wiki the worst loss of life in NYC until 9/11, whiping out most/many (?) lives from Little Germany, Manhattan. Close to the shore, in comparison to being on the North Atlantic, doesn't guarantee survival.
I read that Smith and Andrews assisted in launching the last collapsible which contained Bruce Ismay. I think Andrews should have saved himself to testify in the investigation.
I can’t begin to even imagine how terribly horrifying it would be to be trapped on a sinking ship. The water is freezing. The ship was going down. Not enough lifeboats. Such a tragedy. R.I.P. to the victims of titanic 😢❤️
Rip to all the heroes working until the very end to keep the lights on for others to try and get off the ship , knowing they would go down with the ship and die by staying there and keeping the coal burning
He wasn't kidding about water being like concrete when you jump above a certain elevation. Water ,after all, is non compressible. My military training had it that above 40' your chances of being injured are greatly increased. We trained jumping into water at 38' lol
Wow! I never even took into account the whole science behind jumping into the water at such a high altitude with a life vest on! Very cool. Thank you for a very informative video sir!
Everything you just described, happened in the same length of time that it took to actually watch the video. Wow. 😢 And I would totally watch a two hour movie you made about the Titanic! 👍
my late night entertainment! always a pleasure to watch your videos, well researched, the narration is amazing and captivating. Keep up the good work,. Here is guilherme from facebook.
Video ideas on passengers/crew if you ever want to touch on them in the future: Manuel Uruchurtu Archibald Butt The Unknown Child (Sidney Leslie Goodwin) Father Thomas Byles J. Bruce Ismay Chief Officer Henry Wilde First Officer William Mcmaster Murdoch Second Officer Charles Lightoller Fifth Officer Harold Lowe Sixth Officer James Paul Moody William Thomas Stead (WT Stead) John Jacob Astor IV Benjamin Guggenheim Isador and Ida Straus Joseph Laroche The Widener Family The Thayer Family Also a video on the Carpathia, and the aftermath of Titanic would be cool (such as the UK and US Inquiries)
Oh yes, Manuel Uruchurtu, the only mexican passanger aboard the Titanic, his story was made in a book in 2012 just before the 100 anniversary of the Titanic sinking
@@bababythesea4389 I’m glad I found someone who noticed him as well. Wilde seems to be a figure of mystery which is odd since he was the Second most senior crew member on board. I’ve been meaning to do some research into him because there is actually quite a lot of info on him on the internet. One thing about his background I do know is that his wife died two years prior to Titanic along with 2 of his 6 children - meaning his 4 remaining children became orphans after he perished on Titanic which is heartbreaking
@@cardenassolisrodrigo2601 Yeah I never watched the 2012 miniseries but apparently Uruchurtu gave up his seat on a lifeboat for a woman who lied about having a family. I know he ultimately perished in the sinking
Great list! I feel like a video on Lightoller and Lowe would be really cool, since they both lived such fascinating lives. A video on Wilde, Murdoch, and Moody would be really interesting well, since their deaths are a bit mysterious. Moody was also so young, only twenty four when he died.
You could totally make these videos two hours long and I dare say most of us would watch them. I don't know why but the stories of the Olympic, Brittanic and Titanic have always fascinated me. Keep up the amazing content! Easily one of my new favorite channels
I’d love it if you could cover what happened after titanic left the surface. How long did it take to hit the ocean floor? How did wreckage break up to make the debris field. How deep was the stern when it imploded. Would be need to see what happened after she left the surface.
Survivors claim that about a minute after the stern went under, they heard an explosion (which is definitely the implosion), not sure how deep it was since I'm not a math guy
I love your vids dude, I’ve had a book on titanic in my hand since birth, and your channel is one of my most favorites on TH-cam, keep up the good work!!
14:07 While you're referring to Charles Joughin keep in mind that literally every other survivor account describing the final moments of the stern never mention the ship being sideways and thus contradict every word said by the chief baker. Especially some survivors who also were on the poop deck including Thomas Patrick Dillon. Dillon was on the poop deck until the end, he never described the sideways motions of the ship.
This is why it's important to use several sources. With titanic a lot of enthusiasts take one person's statement as fact sadly. This is where fiction, assumption and fact are different. Research isn't quoting a witness - it is ensuring it can be corroborated and then quoting. It's also amazing the number of people quoting a "computer game" as a source, when it hasn't a great track record of reliability in its own right.
Nine-year-old Frankie Goldsmith had woken up to find his mother rushing to get him dressed.His father told him they needed to put on life belts and get into a boat. Far from being scared, Frankie was excited.The last few days had been an amazing adventure.He’d been able to climb on the rigging and catch glimpses of the Titanic’s heart,where men toiled nonstop, feeding the furnaces to keep the lights on and make the ship run. And now here was another new experience - a chance to be lowered way,way down to the water in a lifeboat. Frankie was too young to realize that what was about to happen would change his life forever. “We young kids had experienced such a good and exciting time the past several days all over the ship where young third-class lads had been permitted to go,that being allowed into one of those lifeboats, at last,was GREAT! “ ‘If we are going out in a lifeboat we’d better take something with us,’” he told his parents excitedly. So he stuffed his overcoat pockets with some of the fruit candies they’d brought along for seasickness. From their third class cabin, Frankie and his parents made their way to the spot where a crewman stood by a gate leading up to the Boat Deck. Here was a surprise: Frankie learned that only women and children were being let through; his father would have to stay behind. “Dad put his arm around mother, kissing her,” said Frankie. “He then reached down, hugged my shoulders and said . . . ‘So long, Frankie. I’ll see you later.’” Frankie didn’t realize what that good-bye must have meant to his father. And like Jack Thayer, Frankie would never see his dad again. Alfred Rush,who’d been traveling with them,was proud to have turned sixteen on Sunday.He felt grown up now.And perhaps that’s why, although this crewman would have let him through with the women and children, Alfred jerked his arm out of the sailor’s hand. “ ‘No! I’m staying here with the MEN!’” he cried. Frankie’s mother pleaded with him, but he would not go.Alfred Rush died in the sinking.His body was never found. Frankie and his mother began to make their way as best they could to the lifeboats. It was not an easy route. “Mother and I were then led with the other ladies and children to a steel ladder located just to the rear of the ship’s fourth funnel.We all climbed it, and upon reaching the floor of the deck on the port side,the group moved forward, carefully,so as not to be tripped up by ropes and things lying on the deck, apparently left from previous launchings of the lifeboats.” As they approached the lifeboat, Frankie and his mother found themselves in a crowd of panicking passengers.Many from third class were just beginning to realize that almost all the lifeboats were gone.Men were blocking their way, crowding around Collapsible C. Hearing shouts, a first class passenger named Hugh Woolner and a Swedish friend named Mauritz Björnström-Steffanson,whom he’d met on board,ran over and began helping the officers pull men out of the lifeboat to make room for women and children. “I got hold of them by their feet and legs,” Hugh said. Caught up in the confusion, Emily Goldsmith wasn’t going to let anything happen to her little boy.When a man pushed in front of them and blocked their way,she dropped Frankie’s hand and pushed the man aside. “Seconds later,we were helped aboard the almost-full lifeboat,” said Frankie. Frankie’s mother, Emily, acted in the only way she knew to save her child. The two escaped in Collapsible C,the last lifeboat to actually be launched from davits on the starboard side. As she watched Collapsible C being loaded, another mother, Emily Goldsmith’s new friend,Rhoda Abbott,made a fateful decision.Rhoda and her two sons,Rossmore and Eugene, had also managed to make their way to the Boat Deck, climbing a steel ladder onto the stern and walking on the slanting deck over ropes still left from the boats already launched.But only women and children were being loaded. Since her boys were teenagers,she felt sure they would be considered too old and not let through. She didn’t want to take that chance.Rhoda Abbot stepped back to be with her sons. The boat was lowered without them.Then, all at once, J.Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, jumped into it. People would question Ismay’s decision to save himself - when more than a thousand passengers, including boys like Alfred,Rossmore, and Eugene,would die - for the rest of his life
@@XstonedmonkeyzX yep! We do it because the story needs to be told, so people can see the ramifications certain decisions deliver however heartbreaking!
A little earlier, after helping to load the lifeboats on the port side, Colonel Archibald Gracie and his friend James Clinch Smith had made their way to the starboard side.They too began to help with the last boats. While Lightoller and Hemming worked on Collapsible B,Colonel Gracie helped First Officer Murdoch and others get Collapsible A down from the roof of the officers’ quarters. Colonel Gracie couldn’t help thinking, “What was one boat among so many eager to board her?” A crew member shouted out,wanting to know if anyone had a knife to cut the lashings.Gracie tossed up his penknife.The men scurried to lean oars against the wall of the officers’ quarters, hoping to break the fall of the boat so that this last hope would not shatter. Finally it tumbled down onto the deck, breaking several oars on the way. That was the moment when the ship seemed to dive forward and seawater surged toward them.Colonel Gracie and Clinch Smith looked for the nearest high place.They tried to jump onto the roof of the officers’ quarters. It was no good.Their bulky coats and clumsy life preservers got in the way. As Gracie landed back on deck from his first jump,the water struck him on his right side.Thinking fast, he crouched down, and then, like riding a wave at the beach, he pushed off and leaped again.This time he let the force of the surging water propel him forward and up onto the roof. He was now a little farther aft, lying on his stomach on top of the first class entrance above the grand stairway, not far from the base of the Titanic’s gigantic second funnel.Colonel Gracie gasped for breath and looked around for his friend. But Clinch Smith - and many others - had disappeared from sight. “. . .the wave . . . had completely covered him, as well as all people on both sides of me,” he said. He had no time to grieve.The ship was now sinking - the deck disappearing fast. “. . . before I could get to my feet I was in a whirlpool of water,swirling round and round, as I still tried to cling to the railing as the ship plunged to the depths below. “Down, down I went: it seemed a great distance.” Harold Bride was also caught in the wave. Minutes before, he’d gone to where Lightoller and others were trying to free the last collapsible boats from the roof of the officers’ quarters. “I went up to them and was just lending a hand when a large wave came awash of the deck. “The big wave carried the boat off. I had hold of an oarlock, and I went off with it.” At about 2:15 a.m., just a short distance away from Colonel Archibald Gracie, Jack Thayer could see the water rising up over the deck,the ship going down at a fast rate,the sea coming right up to the bridge.The crowd kept pushing back toward the stern,which was still dry. Shock and terror showed on people’s faces. Without warning,the ship seemed to start forward and sink at a lower angle. Jack heard a rumbling roar and what seemed to be muffled explosions. As the bow sank lower,the weight of the water was straining the ship’s steel structure to the breaking point. Jack couldn’t believe the sound: “It was like standing under a steel railway bridge while an express train passes overhead,mingled with the noise of a pressed steel factory and the wholesale breakage of china.” Jack and Milton decided to jump into the water at the last second and then swim as fast as they could away from the ship to avoid being dragged down by suction or hit with debris. “We had no time to think now,only to act,” said Jack. “We shook hands, wished each other luck. I said, ‘Go ahead, I’ll be right with you.’” Milton went first, disappearing over the rail. Jack never saw him again. Then it was his turn. Ole Abelseth also saw that time was running out. “. . .we could see the water coming up,the bow of the ship was going down, and there was a kind of an explosion. “We could hear the popping and cracking, and the deck raised up and got so steep that the people could not stand on their feet on the deck. So they fell down and slid on the deck into the water right on the ship.Then we hung onto a rope in one of the davits.We were pretty far back at the top deck.” Like Jack,Ole and his companions wanted to wait until the very end to leave the ship.By the time Ole was ready “. . . it was only about five feet down to the water when we jumped off. It was not much of a jump.Before that we could see the people were jumping over.There was water coming onto the deck, and they were jumping over,then out in the water. “My brother-in-law took my hand just as we jumped off; and my cousin jumped at the same time.When we came into the water, I think it was from the suction - or anyway we went under, and I swallowed some water. I got a rope tangled around me, and I let loose of my brother-in-law’s hand to get away from the rope.” One thought came into his mind: “I am a goner.”
I just kind of stumbled across this channel, and great history and lore about one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ships! Although it was a tragedy, i just absolutely love Titanic!! Also i like how he explains everything and makes it so you don't feel bored and actually want to finish listening
When you were talking about the lifejacket breaking your neck, what I believe was more likely isn't a broken neck, but rather an internal decapitation. Especially if you were fully vertical when you hit the water. Now, if you were at an angle that is close to fully horizontal, then yes. Your neck would probably be broken. If you were unlucky enough to jump and hit a propeller on the way down, see the 1997 film, then all bets go out the window because the rotational speed of your body would cause you to quickly black out, if not die, from the sheer g force
Every time I hear the story of the Titanic it makes me feel something inside... These were real people who had lives to live and so many of them died horribly. I can't imagine going back and experiencing it 😞😓
I can NEVER get sick of hearing about the titanic, I’ve been into learning about this ship since I was 6 and now I’m 16 and I still love it it never gets hold
I work from home and I keep your videos running constantly as I work and it really keeps me motivated to keeping working while learning of the Titanic! 😊
I love how u explain theories or myths about titanic been a fan of urs for a couple of months now I’ve learned so much more on titanic then what I’ve read I’ve been a fan of titanic since 1997 when James Cameron’s film came out
I really like your reasoning of the breakup and final plunge. As of now, I’m indecisive about what I think but I tend to lean towards the theory put forth by Titanic Animations. The channel has a very compelling video detailing the breakup and the physics that would’ve had to occur. Anyway, thanks for the great content! I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos and learning more!
As always, an excellent presentation. I've been studying the Titanic as time allows over the past 25 years and I always find a new tidbit I didn't know before. Keep up the great job.
If the emergency lights stayed on til almost the last moments, that is a testimony to the skill and care with which the ship was built and the bravery and perseverence of the engineers and any boiler room crew who remained.
Oh my goodness, I've been a Titanic geek since I was 13! I was sent home from school because I was sick, and somebody, maybe it was the school librarian, asked if I wanted to read "A Night to Rember." Since my father and uncles were all Navy men at the time, I accepted it. Maybe because I was delirious with fever, or hurling everything I had eaten the previous week, I couldn't put in down! By the time I was able to return to school, I had read that book three times...I had been bitten by the Titanic-geek bug!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one obsessed with Titanic! Lol we're going to Tennessee Thursday and we will definitely be visiting the Titanic museum!! Thank you for your videos!! They are great!!!!
One of my favorite moves/documentary about Titanic is Ghost of the Abyss. Bill Paxton said it best “one can only think about how you would have acted that night” would you accept your fate, that you were never going to see your loved ones again. How would you have acted that night reaching the boat deck knowing you were never going to get a seat on a life boat. The freezing water was going to be the last you felt, alone in the dark waiting to die.
Your description, and the narration of the final moments of the sinking of RMS Titanic was really engrossing. I could easily watch an hour long video with all of the minute details, which you said would make the video too long. I would watch it all without losing any interest. Please do reconsider making a longer version of the sinking of the Titanic. I'm absolutely in love with the Titanic, and wouldn't mind it one bit. And I'm sure I am not only one by any means who would appreciate it. Thanks.
@@HistoricTravels Thanks for your reply,I’ll definitely check it out. I just watched the just under 3 hour long documentary on Titanic sinking timeline the other day here on TH-cam. So when it comes to Titanic, a long video is not a problem at all. Can I please ask you a question, answer to which I couldn’t find anywhere. Why is the front of the ships these days is slightly roundish,whereas in the past they used to be more sharp looking, like in the case of Titanic and all the others. Thanks.
I listen to a lot of your videos at work, and would love a 1 to 2 hour video with all the information. Though I have one critique. Only several hundred at most went into the water when she fully sank. Many were trapped in the ship or sucked down with it. Outside of that love everything about the videos :D.
Video idea: ramon artagaveytia, uruguayan survivor of the wreck of a ship called the America that sank between Argentina and Uruguay, lived with a mental trauma for 40 years until once he felt safe to travel again, he boarded the titanic and didn't survive. This is an incredible true story
@@amberisthecolor3551 James Cameron actually filmed a scene with a bunch of dogs running up and down the deck of the Titanic during the sinking but cut it. unfortunately only a small part of it can be found on the deleted scenes.
Your videos are amazing, i am currently 16 years old, and since i watched The Titanic movie, i bacame obessed with The ship, since then i was studying The hole story, watching testimonies videos And making research, and your videos are Helping me have a more techinical looking of The Sinking, your videos are amazing and really helpful, Keep up The good Work
Another thing to note: it was not only the opening left by the 1st funnel that caused far more water to enter, but the 2 large ventilation shafts fore and aft of said funnel (one of which we all know sucked Lightoller against it). This would not, of course, been as much as through the funnel opening, but it would still have further accelerated events.
As well as life jackets breaking people's necks, I also read that many people drowned by plunging from a great height, because the submerged a good fifteen to twenty feet under water. The shock of the cold water caused an involuntary gasp and intake of water, which for several people, was enough water to drown them. Furthermore, young children were known to flip upside down, because their heads were heavier than their bodies. This was also apparent on the Wilhelm Gustlov that was torpedoed in 1945, where the life jackets were pretty much the same design as on Titanic.
Great video dude, being a huge Titanic enthusiast, I found your facts really interesting, things I have never heard before, look forward to more of your videos.
your videos are really enjoyable to watch!! the titanic was my first special interest as a kid and now that im getting back into learning about it, your videos have been my favourite. ive learned so much about it i never even knew, plus you just have a really friendly vibe i could listen to your videos all day and i have been. thank you thank you for making your wonderful content and please keep making more!! you're so cool thank you!💖💖💖💖💖💖
Your point about the difficult and sometimes very narrow access for the crowds making their way towards the stern made me realise - it's surely quite possible that a number of people died in the crush. It's a chilling thought, on top of all the rest of it.
I really hope that you will make at least one video about MS Estonia as well. I’m from Sweden and was 7 when the accident happened, so it’s really something I’ve grown up with. Hearing the heartbreaking but incredible stories of the survivors. Recent years I’ve also read several books written by some of the survivors, unfortunately I believe those books are only available in Swedish. Anyway, I sincerely hope you’ll make one about Estonia some time in the future. Keep up the good work!
I could watch a 2-hour long Historic Travels video. Maybe not all at once, but I'd do it. I see there's some long videos ahead for me as I try to catch up.
Great review of the moments. I was watching the realtime sinking video with the radio comms. So heartbreaking! NatGeo and David Cameron actually put together a revised synopsis - the video on youtube is already 10 yrs old - it all corroborates your impressions and understanding of the final plunge of the stern.
It's the humanity affected by the sinking that has me so interested in! The movie made it change from a huge maritime disaster to what could they have done more to save more lost souls? Those folks on the lower decks didn't have a chance! That broke my heart and my son only 7 at the time saw this tragedy and cried so hard! He understood as young as he was the travesty of money and influence in this disaster! You have a love for ships and your excitement explaining cause and effect keeps me watching your videos! Keep it up!
Another great video - very sad but interesting!! Don't worry about your videos being too long, I bet they'll still be watched!! Best wishes as always ☘️🙂🇮🇪🚢
Great job AGAIN Sam! Man, I wouldn't mind at all if you posted a half hour or hour video, I enjoy them all so much! Is there any specific reason you are concerned about length? Thanks again for all your efforts putting these together! Very very cool! 😎👍
I just found your videos this week and have been binging them! So informative and fascinating. Thanks for these! ☺️ Also, I'm definitely adding On a Sea of Glass to my tbr list!
I would absolutely watch an hour long video. I NEVER tire of hearing and learning about Titanic.
Ive watched the full real time sinking
Me, too! Even after a quarter century, I'm always up for one more video on the Lady Herself.
Embrace the Longman.
@@romania_patriotedits1450 yup me too, and it was fascinating. The voice overs are excellent
Yeah there's a ton of demand for 1+ hour long videos on TH-cam. Some of the channels with millions of subscribers do 3 hour long videos all the time.
A year ago I thought I was the only person who found the titanic sinking extremely interesting. Now I found a whole community of like minded folks. Thanks.

Jack Thayer eerily compared it to the locusts he heard at home in Pennsylvania.
Couple that with the darkness...

Seriously, he shouldn't tease us like that.
YES PLEASE. DO IT !!!
It's already been done a few times. Watch the Titanic Honor and Glory Anniversary streams.
Of all the stories on Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews’ final moments, the one I chose to believe was that they were on the bridge during the final plunge and jumped into the sea - never to be seen again
While holding hands 🙌
Life jacket imput , the titanic and all ships of that era used solid cork filling as flotation. Modern most modern ( except for recerational jackets ) are inflatable . And my naval training they beat into up in boot camp , if you have to go into the water never inflate your life jacket until you are in the water.
So if you jump into the water with a solid jacket or an inflated jacket you are reducing your chances of survival.
Also not on cork vests if you just drop over the side or let the ship sink under you , they can still kill you, the cork vest aboard the PS General Slocum were so old the filling disintagrated and instead of being boyant was like wearing a back of concrete powder around your neck.
@@philvanderlaan5942 Same in a plane. Never inflate the vest inside. Can't escape when you're pinned to the roof.
@@philvanderlaan5942 Thanks for bringing up the General Slocum, a disaster many even haven't heard of, according to Wiki the worst loss of life in NYC until 9/11, whiping out most/many (?) lives from Little Germany, Manhattan.

Estonia is still such a terrifying event! Its my biggest fear! Just absolutely no chance of escape if capsize!
And the captain blowing the horn 3 times to let everyone know its on its final plunge.
Sounds scary. Sad so many died in that wreck too
it is indeed stuff of nightmares
As a kid I loved going on boats, these days I'm just scared of seatravel.
Rip to all the heroes working until the very end to keep the lights on for others to try and get off the ship , knowing they would go down with the ship and die by staying there and keeping the coal burning
Sad to think to the ones in the way back drowned deep in the pitch dark hull

Interesting point about the life jackets never thought of that.
He wasn't kidding about water being like concrete when you jump above a certain elevation.
Water ,after all, is non compressible.

Wow! I never even took into account the whole science behind jumping into the water at such a high altitude with a life vest on! Very cool. Thank you for a very informative video sir!
Jumping and dying of a broken neck on impact still would be preferable to painfully freezing to death for 15 minutes.
Everything you just described, happened in the same length of time that it took to actually watch the video. Wow. 😢 And I would totally watch a two hour movie you made about the Titanic! 👍
It would be awesome!!
I would. Totally awesome.
Me, too. In a 💓.
my late night entertainment! always a pleasure to watch your videos, well researched, the narration is amazing and captivating. Keep up the good work,. Here is guilherme from facebook.
Video ideas on passengers/crew if you ever want to touch on them in the future:
Manuel Uruchurtu
Archibald Butt
The Unknown Child (Sidney Leslie Goodwin)
Father Thomas Byles
J. Bruce Ismay
Chief Officer Henry Wilde
First Officer William Mcmaster Murdoch
Second Officer Charles Lightoller
Fifth Officer Harold Lowe
Sixth Officer James Paul Moody
William Thomas Stead (WT Stead)
John Jacob Astor IV
Benjamin Guggenheim
Isador and Ida Straus
Joseph Laroche
The Widener Family
The Thayer Family
Also a video on the Carpathia, and the aftermath of Titanic would be cool (such as the UK and US Inquiries)
Great list! I often wonder why we don't know much about Wilde...an interesting story about how he was even on the Titanic.
Oh yes, Manuel Uruchurtu, the only mexican passanger aboard the Titanic, his story was made in a book in 2012 just before the 100 anniversary of the Titanic sinking
@@bababythesea4389 I’m glad I found someone who noticed him as well. Wilde seems to be a figure of mystery which is odd since he was the Second most senior crew member on board. I’ve been meaning to do some research into him because there is actually quite a lot of info on him on the internet. One thing about his background I do know is that his wife died two years prior to Titanic along with 2 of his 6 children - meaning his 4 remaining children became orphans after he perished on Titanic which is heartbreaking
@@cardenassolisrodrigo2601 Yeah I never watched the 2012 miniseries but apparently Uruchurtu gave up his seat on a lifeboat for a woman who lied about having a family. I know he ultimately perished in the sinking
Great list! I feel like a video on Lightoller and Lowe would be really cool, since they both lived such fascinating lives. A video on Wilde, Murdoch, and Moody would be really interesting well, since their deaths are a bit mysterious. Moody was also so young, only twenty four when he died.
Honestly, if there was a 2 hour video of the last 15 mins of the sinking, I’d totally watch it!
Did anyone here ever play Tiitanic: Adventure Out of Time back in the 90s? When I was a kid I loved that game.
Again you put together an AWESOME Fact based Titanic Video. Your thoughts are also very insightful! You ROCK Dude! Thank you
My pleasure!
You could totally make these videos two hours long and I dare say most of us would watch them. I don't know why but the stories of the Olympic, Brittanic and Titanic have always fascinated me. Keep up the amazing content! Easily one of my new favorite channels
I love seeing so many people are interested in Titanic like I am.
I can’t get enough of all things Titanic!
And how about the stories of the Lusitania and Carpathia?
Brilliant videos, you made very so interesting. It's something l have been interested all my life .
Most kind and polite TH-cam content producer. Always a pleasure to watch ya vids
Your premiere drew in nearly 1000 views total! That's awesome!!!
I am only just discovering your channel and i am loving all these titanic videos! Brilliant! Thanks Mate.
I don’t usually give videos a like but these once deserves and need it
I’d love it if you could cover what happened after titanic left the surface. How long did it take to hit the ocean floor? How did wreckage break up to make the debris field. How deep was the stern when it imploded. Would be need to see what happened after she left the surface.
Survivors claim that about a minute after the stern went under, they heard an explosion (which is definitely the implosion), not sure how deep it was since I'm not a math guy
I second this idea
James Cameron did a "final word" video on it that is very in depth!
He already did a video on this, it’s really good
I think it took about 10 min for the ship to hit the ocean floor once submerged.
I love your vids dude, I’ve had a book on titanic in my hand since birth, and your channel is one of my most favorites on TH-cam, keep up the good work!!
Wow! thanks!
HT: "...we don't have time for that"
Me: "Yes we do!"
Great video as always Sam and I like to hear all different theories of this tragic event. Thanks for your time in your explanation.
14:07 While you're referring to Charles Joughin keep in mind that literally every other survivor account describing the final moments of the stern never mention the ship being sideways and thus contradict every word said by the chief baker. Especially some survivors who also were on the poop deck including Thomas Patrick Dillon. Dillon was on the poop deck until the end, he never described the sideways motions of the ship.
This is why it's important to use several sources. With titanic a lot of enthusiasts take one person's statement as fact sadly. This is where fiction, assumption and fact are different. Research isn't quoting a witness - it is ensuring it can be corroborated and then quoting. It's also amazing the number of people quoting a "computer game" as a source, when it hasn't a great track record of reliability in its own right.
@@WhatALoadOfTosca Exactly
As always, excellent video, Sam! Very interesting and informative!! Have a great week!
I wasn't a big Titanic person until I found your channel. I really enjoy your channel and I'm reviewing your past videos.
Nine-year-old Frankie Goldsmith had woken up to find his mother
rushing to get him dressed.His father told him they needed to put on life
belts and get into a boat.
Far from being scared, Frankie was excited.The last few days had been
an amazing adventure.He’d been able to climb on the rigging and catch
glimpses of the Titanic’s heart,where men toiled nonstop, feeding the
furnaces to keep the lights on and make the ship run.
And now here was another new experience - a chance to be lowered
way,way down to the water in a lifeboat. Frankie was too young to realize
that what was about to happen would change his life forever.
“We young kids had experienced such a good and exciting time the
past several days all over the ship where young third-class lads had been
permitted to go,that being allowed into one of those lifeboats, at last,was
GREAT!
“ ‘If we are going out in a lifeboat we’d better take something with us,’”
he told his parents excitedly. So he stuffed his overcoat pockets with some
of the fruit candies they’d brought along for seasickness.
From their third class cabin, Frankie and his parents made their way to
the spot where a crewman stood by a gate leading up to the Boat Deck.
Here was a surprise: Frankie learned that only women and children were
being let through; his father would have to stay behind.
“Dad put his arm around mother, kissing her,” said Frankie. “He then
reached down, hugged my shoulders and said . . . ‘So long, Frankie. I’ll see you
later.’”
Frankie didn’t realize what that good-bye must have meant to his father.
And like Jack Thayer, Frankie would never see his dad again.
Alfred Rush,who’d been traveling with them,was proud to have turned
sixteen on Sunday.He felt grown up now.And perhaps that’s why, although
this crewman would have let him through with the women and children,
Alfred jerked his arm out of the sailor’s hand.
“ ‘No! I’m staying here with the MEN!’” he cried.
Frankie’s mother pleaded with him, but he would not go.Alfred Rush
died in the sinking.His body was never found.
Frankie and his mother began to make their way as best they could to
the lifeboats. It was not an easy route.
“Mother and I were then led with the other ladies and children to a
steel ladder located just to the rear of the ship’s fourth funnel.We all
climbed it, and upon reaching the floor of the deck on the port side,the
group moved forward, carefully,so as not to be tripped up by ropes and
things lying on the deck, apparently left from previous launchings of the
lifeboats.”
As they approached the lifeboat, Frankie and his mother found
themselves in a crowd of panicking passengers.Many from third class were
just beginning to realize that almost all the lifeboats were gone.Men were
blocking their way, crowding around Collapsible C.
Hearing shouts, a first class passenger named Hugh Woolner and a
Swedish friend named Mauritz Björnström-Steffanson,whom he’d met on
board,ran over and began helping the officers pull men out of the lifeboat
to make room for women and children.
“I got hold of them by their feet and legs,” Hugh said.
Caught up in the confusion, Emily Goldsmith wasn’t going to let anything
happen to her little boy.When a man pushed in front of them and blocked
their way,she dropped Frankie’s hand and pushed the man aside.
“Seconds later,we were helped aboard the almost-full lifeboat,” said
Frankie.
Frankie’s mother, Emily, acted in the only way she knew to save her child.
The two escaped in Collapsible C,the last lifeboat to actually be launched
from davits on the starboard side.
As she watched Collapsible C being loaded, another mother, Emily
Goldsmith’s new friend,Rhoda Abbott,made a fateful decision.Rhoda and
her two sons,Rossmore and Eugene, had also managed to make their way
to the Boat Deck, climbing a steel ladder onto the stern and walking on the
slanting deck over ropes still left from the boats already launched.But only
women and children were being loaded. Since her boys were teenagers,she
felt sure they would be considered too old and not let through. She didn’t
want to take that chance.Rhoda Abbot stepped back to be with her sons.
The boat was lowered without them.Then, all at once, J.Bruce Ismay,
managing director of the White Star Line, jumped into it.
People would question Ismay’s decision to save himself - when more
than a thousand passengers, including boys like Alfred,Rossmore, and
Eugene,would die - for the rest of his life
Please tell me this was a Copy Paste and you did not actually sit and write all this on a TH-cam comment section 🤦🤣🤣...
@@XstonedmonkeyzX yep! We do it because the story needs to be told, so people can see the ramifications certain decisions deliver however heartbreaking!
A little earlier, after helping to load the lifeboats on the port side,
Colonel Archibald Gracie and his friend James Clinch Smith had made their
way to the starboard side.They too began to help with the last boats.
While Lightoller and Hemming worked on Collapsible B,Colonel Gracie
helped First Officer Murdoch and others get Collapsible A down from the
roof of the officers’ quarters.
Colonel Gracie couldn’t help thinking, “What was one boat among so
many eager to board her?”
A crew member shouted out,wanting to know if anyone had a knife to
cut the lashings.Gracie tossed up his penknife.The men scurried to lean
oars against the wall of the officers’ quarters, hoping to break the fall of the
boat so that this last hope would not shatter. Finally it tumbled down onto
the deck, breaking several oars on the way.
That was the moment when the ship seemed to dive forward and
seawater surged toward them.Colonel Gracie and Clinch Smith looked for
the nearest high place.They tried to jump onto the roof of the officers’
quarters. It was no good.Their bulky coats and clumsy life preservers got in
the way.
As Gracie landed back on deck from his first jump,the water struck
him on his right side.Thinking fast, he crouched down, and then, like riding a
wave at the beach, he pushed off and leaped again.This time he let the force
of the surging water propel him forward and up onto the roof.
He was now a little farther aft, lying on his stomach on top of the first
class entrance above the grand stairway, not far from the base of the
Titanic’s gigantic second funnel.Colonel Gracie gasped for breath and looked
around for his friend. But Clinch Smith - and many others - had
disappeared from sight.
“. . .the wave . . . had completely covered him, as well as all people on
both sides of me,” he said.
He had no time to grieve.The ship was now sinking - the deck
disappearing fast. “. . . before I could get to my feet I was in a whirlpool of
water,swirling round and round, as I still tried to cling to the railing as the
ship plunged to the depths below.
“Down, down I went: it seemed a great distance.”
Harold Bride was also caught in the wave.
Minutes before, he’d gone to where Lightoller and others were trying
to free the last collapsible boats from the roof of the officers’ quarters. “I
went up to them and was just lending a hand when a large wave came
awash of the deck.
“The big wave carried the boat off. I had hold of an oarlock, and I went
off with it.”
At about 2:15 a.m., just a short distance away from Colonel Archibald
Gracie, Jack Thayer could see the water rising up over the deck,the ship
going down at a fast rate,the sea coming right up to the bridge.The crowd
kept pushing back toward the stern,which was still dry. Shock and terror
showed on people’s faces.
Without warning,the ship seemed to start forward and sink at a lower
angle. Jack heard a rumbling roar and what seemed to be muffled
explosions.
As the bow sank lower,the weight of the water was straining the ship’s
steel structure to the breaking point. Jack couldn’t believe the sound: “It was
like standing under a steel railway bridge while an express train passes
overhead,mingled with the noise of a pressed steel factory and the
wholesale breakage of china.”
Jack and Milton decided to jump into the water at the last second and
then swim as fast as they could away from the ship to avoid being dragged
down by suction or hit with debris.
“We had no time to think now,only to act,” said Jack. “We shook hands,
wished each other luck. I said, ‘Go ahead, I’ll be right with you.’”
Milton went first, disappearing over the rail. Jack never saw him again.
Then it was his turn.
Ole Abelseth also saw that time was running out. “. . .we could see the
water coming up,the bow of the ship was going down, and there was a kind
of an explosion.
“We could hear the popping and cracking, and the deck raised up and
got so steep that the people could not stand on their feet on the deck. So
they fell down and slid on the deck into the water right on the ship.Then
we hung onto a rope in one of the davits.We were pretty far back at the
top deck.”
Like Jack,Ole and his companions wanted to wait until the very end to
leave the ship.By the time Ole was ready “. . . it was only about five feet
down to the water when we jumped off. It was not much of a jump.Before
that we could see the people were jumping over.There was water coming
onto the deck, and they were jumping over,then out in the water.
“My brother-in-law took my hand just as we jumped off; and my cousin
jumped at the same time.When we came into the water, I think it was from
the suction - or anyway we went under, and I swallowed some water. I got
a rope tangled around me, and I let loose of my brother-in-law’s hand to get
away from the rope.”
One thought came into his mind: “I am a goner.”
I just kind of stumbled across this channel, and great history and lore about one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ships! Although it was a tragedy, i just absolutely love Titanic!! Also i like how he explains everything and makes it so you don't feel bored and actually want to finish listening
When you were talking about the lifejacket breaking your neck, what I believe was more likely isn't a broken neck, but rather an internal decapitation. Especially if you were fully vertical when you hit the water.
Now, if you were at an angle that is close to fully horizontal, then yes. Your neck would probably be broken.
If you were unlucky enough to jump and hit a propeller on the way down, see the 1997 film, then all bets go out the window because the rotational speed of your body would cause you to quickly black out, if not die, from the sheer g force
You probably died the second you hit the blade. The force of the fall then the hit of the blade
Every time I hear the story of the Titanic it makes me feel something inside... These were real people who had lives to live and so many of them died horribly. I can't imagine going back and experiencing it 😞😓
Congratulations Sam! Can you do a story on the Flying Dutchman?
Great explanation sir! I can tell you really enjoy the history and stories behind Titanic!
"...this video would be over an hour long and we dont have time for that."
Yes we do!!!
I can NEVER get sick of hearing about the titanic, I’ve been into learning about this ship since I was 6 and now I’m 16 and I still love it it never gets hold
I work from home and I keep your videos running constantly as I work and it really keeps me motivated to keeping working while learning of the Titanic! 😊
I love how u explain theories or myths about titanic been a fan of urs for a couple of months now I’ve learned so much more on titanic then what I’ve read I’ve been a fan of titanic since 1997 when James Cameron’s film came out
I really like your reasoning of the breakup and final plunge. As of now, I’m indecisive about what I think but I tend to lean towards the theory put forth by Titanic Animations. The channel has a very compelling video detailing the breakup and the physics that would’ve had to occur.
Anyway, thanks for the great content! I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos and learning more!
As always, an excellent presentation. I've been studying the Titanic as time allows over the past 25 years and I always find a new tidbit I didn't know before. Keep up the great job.
If the emergency lights stayed on til almost the last moments, that is a testimony to the skill and care with which the ship was built and the bravery and perseverence of the engineers and any boiler room crew who remained.
If there was an award for best new channel this would be it.
Oh my goodness, I've been a Titanic geek since I was 13! I was sent home from school because I was sick, and somebody, maybe it was the school librarian, asked if I wanted to read "A Night to Rember." Since my father and uncles were all Navy men at the time, I accepted it. Maybe because I was delirious with fever, or hurling everything I had eaten the previous week, I couldn't put in down! By the time I was able to return to school, I had read that book three times...I had been bitten by the Titanic-geek bug!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one obsessed with Titanic! Lol we're going to Tennessee Thursday and we will definitely be visiting the Titanic museum!! Thank you for your videos!! They are great!!!!
One of my favorite moves/documentary about Titanic is Ghost of the Abyss. Bill Paxton said it best “one can only think about how you would have acted that night” would you accept your fate, that you were never going to see your loved ones again. How would you have acted that night reaching the boat deck knowing you were never going to get a seat on a life boat. The freezing water was going to be the last you felt, alone in the dark waiting to die.
The last ten minutes must've been horrifically insane. So much chaos and violence as all of these events play out one after another.
Really enjoying the videos!! I watched one and now I’m hooked on them all.
I love all your presentations...would love a 2 hour one some day
Your description, and the narration of the final moments of the sinking of RMS Titanic was really engrossing. I could easily watch an hour long video with all of the minute details, which you said would make the video too long. I would watch it all without losing any interest.
Please do reconsider making a longer version of the sinking of the Titanic. I'm absolutely in love with the Titanic, and wouldn't mind it one bit. And I'm sure I am not only one by any means who would appreciate it. Thanks.
Check out my two hour documentary
@@HistoricTravels Thanks for your reply,I’ll definitely check it out. I just watched the just under 3 hour long documentary on Titanic sinking timeline the other day here on TH-cam. So when it comes to Titanic, a long video is not a problem at all.
Can I please ask you a question, answer to which I couldn’t find anywhere.
Why is the front of the ships these days is slightly roundish,whereas in the past they used to be more sharp looking, like in the case of Titanic and all the others.
Thanks.
I listen to a lot of your videos at work, and would love a 1 to 2 hour video with all the information. Though I have one critique. Only several hundred at most went into the water when she fully sank. Many were trapped in the ship or sucked down with it. Outside of that love everything about the videos :D.
Video idea: ramon artagaveytia, uruguayan survivor of the wreck of a ship called the America that sank between Argentina and Uruguay, lived with a mental trauma for 40 years until once he felt safe to travel again, he boarded the titanic and didn't survive. This is an incredible true story
If Tom Lynskey and H&G dosen't do it this year you could do a 2 hour and 40 minute video on April 14 -15 2021.
Your videos are always interesting, however this might be your best one yet 💯
Should do a video about the pets on the Titanic and specifically on 1st class passenger Ann Isham and her Great Dane. Very interesting story there.
@@amberisthecolor3551 James Cameron actually filmed a scene with a bunch of dogs running up and down the deck of the Titanic during the sinking but cut it. unfortunately only a small part of it can be found on the deleted scenes.
Yes. Vote.
There wasn't a loudspeaker announcement ; " First class pets to the lifeboats !" ?
Lol. If u love dogs. Or pets. Would be good to know what happened. I know the 1st thing I'd do is get the kids then the dog and were off.
I would love to see a real time Titanic Animation with you commentating !! :) That would be so insightful and exciting !
Your videos are amazing, i am currently 16 years old, and since i watched The Titanic movie, i bacame obessed with The ship, since then i was studying The hole story, watching testimonies videos And making research, and your videos are Helping me have a more techinical looking of The Sinking, your videos are amazing and really helpful, Keep up The good Work
Another thing to note: it was not only the opening left by the 1st funnel that caused far more water to enter, but the 2 large ventilation shafts fore and aft of said funnel (one of which we all know sucked Lightoller against it). This would not, of course, been as much as through the funnel opening, but it would still have further accelerated events.
As well as life jackets breaking people's necks, I also read that many people drowned by plunging from a great height, because the submerged a good fifteen to twenty feet under water. The shock of the cold water caused an involuntary gasp and intake of water, which for several people, was enough water to drown them.
Furthermore, young children were known to flip upside down, because their heads were heavier than their bodies. This was also apparent on the Wilhelm Gustlov that was torpedoed in 1945, where the life jackets were pretty much the same design as on Titanic.
You explain what happened so well. I always learn from you.
I would love to see your treatment of the story of the Wilhelm Gustloff. Really terrifying and fascinating.
He made a video on that already I believe.
@@coughcough9794 OK thank you I will look for it
Wow ur content is fabulous! And you have a gift of storytelling!!
Just letting you know...if you ever decide to make an hour and a half long video, I would definitely have the time for that!!
I really do love your channel you always explain something so well thank you for taking your time to make these videos!
Great video dude, being a huge Titanic enthusiast, I found your facts really interesting, things I have never heard before, look forward to more of your videos.
Awesome video mate, new sub from New Zealand 👍
your videos are really enjoyable to watch!! the titanic was my first special interest as a kid and now that im getting back into learning about it, your videos have been my favourite. ive learned so much about it i never even knew, plus you just have a really friendly vibe i could listen to your videos all day and i have been.
thank you thank you for making your wonderful content and please keep making more!! you're so cool thank you!💖💖💖💖💖💖
I’m so impressed with your videos and knowledge of the Titanic.
Your point about the difficult and sometimes very narrow access for the crowds making their way towards the stern made me realise - it's surely quite possible that a number of people died in the crush. It's a chilling thought, on top of all the rest of it.
Ooh, could you make a video on The Sindia? Her story is fascinating, and I’d love to learn more in your style. And keep up the great work! :)
Very educational. I love the short videos
these are fantastic videos, thank you
this chanel is a gold mine
Hi Sam, another great one.
I absolutely love content on this channel. Great work.
Goose loves ur content pls keep up the amazing work goose loves it
I really hope that you will make at least one video about MS Estonia as well. I’m from Sweden and was 7 when the accident happened, so it’s really something I’ve grown up with. Hearing the heartbreaking but incredible stories of the survivors. Recent years I’ve also read several books written by some of the survivors, unfortunately I believe those books are only available in Swedish. Anyway, I sincerely hope you’ll make one about Estonia some time in the future. Keep up the good work!
Excellent work as usual
I could watch a 2-hour long Historic Travels video. Maybe not all at once, but I'd do it. I see there's some long videos ahead for me as I try to catch up.
I love your content! when i was younger we based our work on titanic for a couple weeks and i was so into it! which makes me love ur content!
Great review of the moments. I was watching the realtime sinking video with the radio comms. So heartbreaking! NatGeo and David Cameron actually put together a revised synopsis - the video on youtube is already 10 yrs old - it all corroborates your impressions and understanding of the final plunge of the stern.
It's the humanity affected by the sinking that has me so interested in! The movie made it change from a huge maritime disaster to what could they have done more to save more lost souls? Those folks on the lower decks didn't have a chance! That broke my heart and my son only 7 at the time saw this tragedy and cried so hard! He understood as young as he was the travesty of money and influence in this disaster! You have a love for ships and your excitement explaining cause and effect keeps me watching your videos! Keep it up!
very good the way you explained it, i really enjoyed that.
Great video Sam ... always enjoy them
Another great video - very sad but interesting!! Don't worry about your videos being too long, I bet they'll still be watched!! Best wishes as always ☘️🙂🇮🇪🚢
Another cheerful video! 😀
I have been a Titanic buff all my life and Sam blows me away with new knowledge about it
Wow 1.77M views on your channel already, amazing 🤩
These videos are great! I would definitely watch a two hour video/documentary about this if you made one.
Dude Britannic and titanic these are my favorite videos I’m watching every single one of them after school
really love your videos, keep up the amazing work
Very good and information
I love your titanic videos
man.
only a month ago you were 5k subs.
now you're 21k.
you are growing so fast. good job man!
I was here since 3k btw.
Great job AGAIN Sam! Man, I wouldn't mind at all if you posted a half hour or hour video, I enjoy them all so much! Is there any specific reason you are concerned about length? Thanks again for all your efforts putting these together! Very very cool! 😎👍
im not gonna lie, spending an hour and a half listening to all the details in the last 10 to 15 minutes is a damn good idea.
I just found your videos this week and have been binging them! So informative and fascinating. Thanks for these! ☺️
Also, I'm definitely adding On a Sea of Glass to my tbr list!
I really enjoyed this video, as I do all of your other ones. Keep up the great work. Take care and stay safe.
Keep up the great content bro. Here for the ride🤜🏻🤛🏻
