Yeah, I've read about Captain Stanley Lord of the British Steamer SS Californian. Titanic's distress rockets were reported to him at the time, but he did nothing and went back to sleep then he had to spend the rest of his life trying to explain. I mean he just ignored the Titanic when she was trying to signal for help. That is just cowardice in my eyes.
Beautiful video Darren. Thank you for visiting Captain Stanley Lord. Captain James Clayton Barr (1855-1937), Senior Commodore of the Cunard line is also buried here. Cheers!
Hiya Darren, Take lane cemetery is on the Wirral penninsula. Which is in the middle between North Wales and Liverpool :) I came from Wirral. Thank you for a very interesting video as usual! Best wishes, Annie. 🙋
In the book ''The Last Log Of The Titanic'', the author, David Brown, a retired Captain, stated that even if the Californian had gotten the SOS right away, the ship couldn't have picked it's way through the sea ice over 13 miles in order to save the passengers.
They were able to arrive at the Carpathia when they heard about the sinking. It would have been difficult in the dark though possibly. We will never know for sure.
He was wrong. The Californian was somewhat believed to have been more than 13 miles from the Titanic based the coordinates the Titanic sent out when she was sinking, but Bob Ballard had proved that those coordinates were to the wrong location and that the Californian was really no more than 10 miles away when he discovered the Titanic wreck in 1985.
Like most history stories, if you weren't there you don't know for sure, but as one of your followers mentioned, if the ship was surrounded by ice, who's to say they would have been able to assist the Titanic. Very moving story Darren , look forward to the next one.
@@carolhayes3874 the Californian was positioned approximately 6 miles due North of Titanic. There was a 30 mile long Ice field due East of their position but little ice to the South between the two ships. Though there was no direct path to the Titanic's position it could have been attempted. I think the whole point was the fact that there was zero effort made even though some of Californians officers expressed their concerns about the rockets being fired.
Extremely suspicious that only his name etc has been scrubbed out by callus titanic people. I had a gt gt aunt on the titanic but I wouldn't do that to someone's grave
Fascinating Darren..thank u 4 this 😊😊😊

Fantastic episode Darren. I wouldn't be surprised, if it was vandalised.
It was definitely vandalised Kev. Only his name was affected. All the gold colouring had been scratched off leaving his name a dull scratched grey.
