I can't imagine anything more terrifying than being in absolute darkness and suddenly discovering a colossal wall that is the titanic. Absolute nightmare fuel..
yeah it is, I had the same thought, scary but then fascinating and haunting at the same time
Thank you ! Everyone said “amazing”, I have always thought “terrifying”! Fascinating, hard to look away, but it also scares the bejeebers out of me if I think about it too long,
But Why? it’s a slab of steel on the seabed. It’s a century old mass grave actually resting in peace, un disturbed for it’s last moment’s of eternity. To be pillaged and plundered. It’s sad not nightmare fuel
AF
It really is. I always thought the same thing about the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Big respect for the submarine ascent recreation. If nothing else it shows how much heart you put into these videos. You deserve lots of credit for that.
It was epic, really captures the imagination.
lol
No frl he puts so much into these ans I love that I know this was 2yrs ago for you but I'm hyperfixated and he is my favorite ship teller
Imagine how surreal that must've felt for Ballard and his team. To lay eyes on the most grand ship of the early 1900s, after over 70 years.
his crew gave interviews when it happened, you could tell the elation they had. Once they pinpointed it, now suddenly people could return and salvage parts of it.
@@jackson5116 it's also why he never publicly released the location of Battleship Bismarck. He viewed the locations as graveyards and salvaging them would qualify as grave robbing.
@jackson and ballard and his team scannend the sea bed a few times looking for it. But nothing. And a wonder if he was far away from it or even just 30 yards from it but the darkness kept it well hidden or even closer. Then he started seeing the debris from the ship and he knew he was near it, imagine just out the blue the huge long ship just coming out of the dark and we have no idea what thats like as we just see photos of it old and new. And it still looks huge in a photo, so to see it up close it would be bigger than we think. The stern at least 400 feet long and most of it about 130 feet high, thats in 1985. But now with decks collapsing it might be about 80 to 90 feet high but its still big. When i saw the huge hole where the grandstaircase was and the view jim cameron had over it and looking down it i thought my that looks a huge ship? And that was in 2001 it was amazing to see the view jim had on this huge hole and seeing alot of the decks as he went down the hole and looked around that area, its the best i have ever seen of the wreck. Jim showed how big the ship still was as that huge hole allowed him to see so much at the top down to the 3rd deck i thinck, as i thinck it was to dangerous to go down further from that height and angle. But pure amazing, the decks looked well roughed up but i thought you could still walk on them easy. But maybe not now, that was 22 years ago. Alot has changend. Some decks have collapsed as in B and C decks into each other mostly, as there so long bits havent fallen but will in years to come.
His partner in the expedition, Jean-Lois Michel, who did a previous search, missed the ship by 900 feet.
Imagine how he looked when he found that out
Yes,I thought this would have been pointed out. I really like these videos he's very good but so much of the Area had already been searched,Balard went in an area which hadn't been looked at because of the out coordinates of the ship. Balard was greatly helped by this,not that there's anything wrong with that,I have a book where he mentions this himself,I just thought the French expedition earlier would have been pointed out.
Yeah, his primary goal was for the french to find the wreck and for him to document/film it while he was searching for and documenting the Tresher and the Scorpion.
So wouldn’t she have found debris? So she missed the debris field by 900 feet
A missed it by this 🤏 much joke. Poor guy
So wild that at one point for nearly 70 years they just accepted that they’d likely never see it again.
Wilder that we now take it for granted that we can see it, to be honest ;)
I’m a new subscriber after the OceanGate incident - I like how you tried to recreate the scene with the flashlight and model toward the end. I think most people would’ve said “I couldn’t find any footage” and leave it that. You used your creativity and tried to give us some sort of representation. I admire your passion!
This cause same and I love the effort we get in every video. I am hyperfixated so hard on his videos like yeah the ships but I only want to watch it from him idk why
Actually the reason why they left the bottom early on their first attempt during the 86 expedition was because of a leak in the submersible Alvin's batteries Ballard pushed his luck just long enough where he could get a glimpse at the hull
Ballard described the numerous portholes as sightless eyes
Came here to say this. The Alvin was having technical difficulties on the first dive of the 1986 expedition, and so they had to leave before the batteries were destroyed, which, if that happened, would have spelled the end of the expedition.
No Thats WRONG Thay Didint Have Enoff Time To Exsplore The Ship Thats Fact. >:3
@@TheGarfieldDude You are correct. They didn't have enough time to explore the ship on their first dive, because of a technical problem with the batteries which, if not addressed quickly, would have destroyed the batteries and meant no more dives for the entirety of the expedition. The problem was rectified that night, and they had no further issues with the sub's batteries.
“Sightless eyes” I don’t know why, but that gives me shivers…
@@feralhawg867 Agreed, it's an expression that pertains to 'Death'.. The death of a once great Ship, and the majority of passengers {especially the Crew and steerage passengers that went down with her.
Fascinating its because of you I have developed a fascination with ship wrecks and their causes.
For real i told myself the same thing lol
@Connor Cohan its really grim and I can't imagine how terrifying it must have been to know you were going down for the final count, but at the same time it is so very interesting to learn from history and the mistakes of our past.
I was 16 when the Titanic was discovered and it was so exciting. People today take it for granted but at the time it was common belief that she was lost forever and would never be found so to discover her was a thing of wonder
Only 10 years after Titanic has been found, the Wreckage was shot for the movie by James Cameron. It’s incredible when you think about it.
@@renegadeexpress1983 He shot the footage, that was used in the film 1995. The movie came out 1997.
it's crazy how 1985 to 1995 feels like a longer distance of time than between 2013 and 2023
@@SlumberBear2k That's because we lost 2 to 3 years during the pandemic...
@@SlumberBear2kThere is a theory that one year is a big portion of a child's life, but a much smaller percentage of an adults life. This contributes to the feeling that time passes by much quicker as you get older.
It makes sense that 85-95 felt like a much longer period of time. I have similar feelings too.
I remember when the Titanic was found. We learnt about it in school and how it was never found. Then a few weeks later, bam, it was found. I was in grade 3.
Awesome channel. Keep it up as it's very enjoyable an informative.
And how old are you now, if you don’t mind me asking?
I was 24 when it was found. I remember it quite well…it was Labor Day weekend (9-1-85).
They found the ship at 2:20 AM. Talk about goosebumps!
Did they really ?
2am they passed over the boiler... "She sinks in 20 minutes" was what was muttered in the control room
The debris began appearing on Argo’s screen at 12:48am, and they found the main part of the wreck around 2am
I wish we had the technology back then to be able to find the ship. Imagine the pictures of the wreck right after the ship sank. That would have been amazing to see.
I know it's not the same thing, but you can find and watch underwater videos exploring the wreck of the Costa Concordia. Quite interesting.
@@allendracabal0819the most eery pictures of Costa Concordia were when she was straightened up an you could see the exact line of dry parts and the parts which had been under water. Such a contrast!
I still have my National Geographic issue that was put out after they found the ship. All the photos were eerie. There was one of a mannequin that was creepy. :)
Your ingenuity in making this video as ‘Telling’ as possible for a diverse viewership is seriously laudable! In addition to that, your excitement in telling the Finding of the RMS Titanic comes through for us all ~ KUDOS on a Masterful Video, all accomplished with minimal resources..!!!🇬🇧🇺🇸
To be more precise: Tresher and Scorpion wrecks were found in 1964 and 68. Ballard was ordered to make maps and documentation of wrecksites.
I love your channel so much. It's calming and informative. You are a blessing and I hope you know how much we appreciate this.
Awesome video dude! Really appreciate the little flashlight and titanic model bit. Fantastic demonstration.
Great video pal I’ve loved watching these last few days. Really extensive knowledge in titanic and really enjoy watching. Thanks!
this is the first of your videos I come across! great content, thank you so much for this interesting video
It's like a ghost manifesting itself out of nowhere. Scary in all aspects.
Loved the re-creation of the underwater robot's first view of the Titanic! If/when you have a chance, I think it would be amazing if you did a video about the sinking of the Empress of Ireland a couple of years after the Titanic sank.
This is incredible and you’re so good at what you do! Thanks for bringing this to life for us.
I think I
I am now back in London Buckingham Palace to open my new year and hope that you can help us out of this message and hope to get back in contact soon with your further information could I request you isskthink for Android app please as 8th May is the first day 600.00Iwillhave. Vanessa.
That was a fun recreation you did at the end.. we appreciate it!
I admire your ability to present this information so clearly and succinctly.
Thank you!
I like the experiment of recreating how it was found!
Thank you for the recreation of the discovery at 10:21, it was an awesome moment getting that perspective of the discovery
Anyone else here after the ocean gate tragedy? I’ve become fascinated with this topic.
that was super interesting thanks
can tell you're passionate about this stuff, love to see it
Well done. It was great listening to this dramatic story told in a clear and concise manner. Keep up the good work.
Man I just gotta say thanks for making these videos, your knowledge on the subject and presentation are absolutely top notch. I find myself fascinated with the material no matter what ship and event you talk about. I ask you to please continue and if possible expand to other historical tragedies/events especially of more ships. Ya definitely got my subscription and I look forward to more. Your way of teaching/explaining is just amazing!
Thank you for that reenactment! I have ofen wandered what they saw. Always enjoyed your videos

I really love your passion for the Titanic! I've watched all your videos! I have also been obsessed since I was 5 or 6 years old.
Thanks for the very interesting videos. Please keep the videos coming.⚓️
Love, love, love your Titanic videos.
Great video and explanation! Thank you!
110 years ago and it still fills me up alot of emotion. Thanks for having your channel. And love your live chats and to see Rosy! I have loved it since 1994.
Imagine stumbling upon this beauty 70+ years after the last time she was spotted. What a feeling that must’ve been.
She would’ve been in such better shape too 😢
She? What woman would wana be called titanic?
@@tigerfist5120 A woman you love very much, whom has a great and enduring soul.
@@tigerfist5120all boats are called She.
Whew your videos are so darn good!
This is really good content. Great work 👍
Great very informative video! Thanks for sharing all this information!
Thank u for doin these videos
Awesome video! Thanks!
recreating the sub ascent like you just did gave me an adrenaline rush. thank you for that!
Beautiful video mate 👏🏻
I'm fastened about the Titanic since the movie came out in 1997 !! I'm a new subscriber !!
I loved that little recreation what a fun thing to add in for us!
Excellent video and recreation. I will always remember the moment TITANIC was rediscovered..
Absolutely loved the mini 1985 discovery re-enactment! Awesome sauce! 👏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻
Wow this video was amazing, new sub.
Very good illustration, I think ur spot on!
Brilliant mate thanks for this 👍
very excellent description of the subject...applaud
What is it that makes the Titanic wreckage so alluring? I cant stop watching these videos.
the souls of the dead asking not to be forgotten
@@MrAcer4I think about the 1,500 souls and the Titanic when I hear the song " Nearer to My God to Thee"
thanks for the video man
Being on Titanic as she went down, or being on board a submarine that imploded. I can't imagine either.
At least the submarine would have been a quick death
@@stevennorris7181 true
@@stevennorris7181 well, there are the intense minutes leading up to the implosion on a sub, just like people stuck in the stern of Titanic.
A sub imploding would be a quick death at least
Funny how you mention submarine imploding 😂
I like the little flashlight reenactment. And the history lesson!. Thanks
Your videos never disappoint my friend
I don’t remember seeing this video? Have to watch it now
So interesting! You sir earned a subscriber
So cool! Makes me appreciate what I saw at the museum in Branson even more
beautiful recreation!! and amazing content!! thank you!!
I always find it amazing and scary as well how we are here living in the big cities coming and going in our daily routines and somewhere far away deep in the ocean the Titanic is sitting there being a vulnerable victim of its surroundings and the passing of time
until one day the last piece of this Legendary ship will disappear.. a long with us
awesome video bro
Whoa! I got goosebumps with your recreation
Great job on the presentation. Really informative. Also led to a great drinking game. Every time the model Titanic was brought up in the video, I took a shot
this video was amazing thank you
Aww, that was a fun little recreation :)
Great video !
I found your channel about a week ago and have watched quite a few vids. If this TH-cam thing ever falls apart (hopefully not!), you should think about becoming a teacher. You have a way of explaining things clearly, and using repetition without being insulting or annoying, that helps people learn while enjoying the process. And passion and creativity like yours are vital characteristics of teachers.
You are amazing. I could listen all day.
Thank you, great video!
The re-creation was a nice touch lol thanks
Thinking NG had a documentary on the moment that mark balard found titanic. . Rejoicing at first.. then followed by the sadness of that tragedy weighs heavy on your soul... being that that very spot all those people died there...
His name is Robert Ballard. Yep, they were jubilant at first, then remembered how many people had died there, and the mood was more somber. I think at 2:20 am, they had a little memorial service on board their ship. The date was Sept. 1, 1985 that she was found. (Jan Griffiths).
I actually found out about the existence of the Titanic by reading the article about Ballard's discovery of the wreck in the September 1985 issue of the National Geographic magazine. I have been fascinated by lost ocean liners ever since.
Excellent video
Loved this video bud
Great Video
Nice video 👍👍
It’s about time u reach 100k subs
I like the little recreation :) have you made a video on submerged visits to the site? That sounds like it would be cool!
Nicely done.
Absolutely binging through these reuploads tonight! Keep 'em coming lol
Ps Robert Ballard deserves his own episode! Not just Titanic of course but all of his great works!
He found the wreck of the Bismarck too, IIRC.
Great content!
I concur 👍🏼
Great recreation love you video I have learn more about the titanic I knew about it myself
Video ideas: Input/thoughts/comparisons on movies about the Titanic (i.e. A Night to Remember, Titanic, Raise the Titanic, etc.).
I love your videos!
Great video
