It’s interesting how some of the fragile items on the Titanic seem largely untouched where other parts of the ship are completely devastated.
Quite often the same thing happens to small /fragile items after a tornado levels a home. Many times people have found these types of items after their home was totally demolished, and they find glasses or plates totally untouched. (Jan Griffiths).
What amazes me and it may have just been fictional to add to the story of the movie. But that drawing of rose that was intact after all that time. I don’t think that aspect is true since Jack and rose are also fictional. But it is something to think about
It's an effect of the square-cube law; it's the same reason a squirrel can comfortably walk away from a fall at its terminal velocity while a human would splatter into chum falling at theirs.
All interior photos that exist are of the Olympic, so I guess we have to assume that even the same jars were placed in the same places on the Titanic!
@@perrysaker-ee1gq Man. I wonder how different things would be if they did not scrap Olympic but made it into "Titanic" museum. Yes this two ships even tho were "sisters" they had little bit different interior layout, but after Titanic sunk, they modernized Olympic to have layout much more similar to the one of titanic, so it would be still a great representation of what it looked like.
My phone is at 3% and my charger is at work, but I’m going to risk it all to watch a new Historic Travels video.
Same. Sam is a diligent youtuber and I hope his income increases, which is assured.

sometimes in your life you just have to have to take the risk. 🤭
It's worth it
Considering I'm from Belfast and where she built, in my bedroom I have a bottle of whisky that was brewed for the Titanic for first class passengers in 1912 and in 2012 the company in Belfast that supplied her with whisky. They released a special gift for the 100 anniversary. 100 bottles of actual Titanic recipe of whisky and only sold in Belfast docks. I managed to get one.
Preserve it for Future Generations
that’s awesome.
You must save that man! Incredible
We should all go on a cruise from Belfast to New York, talk Titanic facts and break out the whisky.....actually that's a terrible idea what am I thinking
God invented whiskey to prevent the Irish from taking over. It's true. I think it's in the Bible somewhere.
The Turkish Baths are remarkably well preserved
In the Cameron documentary, did you see that amazing Purple dome above the entrance! Wow!
@@SkyKing58318 yes
I know right, even the water is still in them!

The grand staircase:my existence is pain
People always comment how awful and destroyed the ship looks down there. I disagree; to me it’s amazing how recognizable it is despite splitting and falling over 12,000 feet to the bottom. That, and the fact that it was over 100 years ago. It’s sad that it won’t be around much longer.
Exactly
@@patrickbateman8622 @Cody Burnette I agree
i would give anything to visit it on a sub
Not to be flippant, but they really DON'T build 'em like they used to...
@Cody Burnette, I agree too.
The Strauss story is sad but also comforting. They were together when they passed away. Also the clock on the fireplace still being there and well preserved is amazing!!
It was a sweet story but sad. But when you have been together as long as they have it's been their whole life basically
I’m wondering how anyone knows about the particulars of the Strauss’ story. Did someone who survived hear them talking, and knew who they were, so they could tell this story as truth later?
@@rozelynn8040 They were actually the owners of Macy’s department store in New York.
@@rozelynn8040 ida`s maid survived
@@jbrose40Isdor was a co -owner of Macy's department store !! My late father retired from Macy's in 2007 here in Ohio
Ida and her husband is sad but another heartbreaking part to me was the lady who when she went to get into the lifeboat was told her dog couldn’t come, she wouldn’t leave it behind and was later found frozen in the water clutched holding her dog 😢
There actually is a footage of stacked plates that are still stacked on their shelves in the Titanic wreck. It was as mysterious as the jar.
Right here at 1:36 th-cam.com/video/pun18bi_0-g/w-d-xo.html There was probably doors on the cabinet that have since decomposed.
You see similar phenomenon after a tornado. A house completely wrecked, but a jar of pickles untouched on a shelf.
@@adamlea6339 Good point!
the footage of the piles of unbroken, unopened champagne bottles always intrigued me too. there's an old party trick (I've done myself a few times) where you cleave the neck along w/ the cork off w/ the flat-edge of a sword. it takes such little effort to break, as the bottle is under so much pressure. it's really more of a "tap" than an actual sword-swing. they survived the ship rocketing to the bottom like a bullet bow-1st, & then survived spilling out from who-know's-what deck onto the seafloor after final impact. srry for the wall of text, but it rlly does boggle my mind
Damage patterns can be extremely interesting.
What looks like a rail in the original photo is actually a solid wood support for the decanter. The vessel sits snuggly in the recessed hole.
I love to watch your videos about the Titanic, yet I do NOT know your first name. I think it is a real possibility that the clock on the mantle could very well have been at 2:20 am. I am learning so much about this fabulous ship that will forever be etched in the minds of the people who are as fascinated with this very fateful ship. Well done! You are a fantastic narrator and very logical in your thought processes. My name is Ann Marchlensky and I live in a Retirement home in Mount Forest, Ontario. Don't forget to tell me your first name if you read my comment. Thank you so much.
my name is Sam! nice to meet you.
They DO need to go back down for another expedition using modern cameras and drone tech. Alot more precision could be used as opposed to the last voyages. One more time before the ship completely erodes away. In a perfect world I vision a series of drones with giant lights on them and one with a suite of cameras.
Making high quality equipment that can withstand the immense pressure of the water would cost a fortune and take time, it amazes me how they can get any electronic equipment to withstand the 5,500 pounds per square inch of pressure in the first place let alone work in that environment! but nothing’s impossible, just need someone in the position who is able to do it to get it done!
@@ZedTee77 Been doing it since the 80s I think they'd manage. Just need like James Cameron and Elon Musk to team up or something. Lol.
They did they went back down a couple of years ago
They have done numerous dives in recent years. I believe the last one was in 2019 as far as I know. The problem is that the ship is rapidly disintegrating and even with the advancements in technology, most of the recognizable features are sadly destroyed.
That's very close to Dr. Ballard's vision of "telepresence".
Congrats on 20k I swear just a few weeks ago you were celebrating 10k.
100k subs coming soon
Hope so!
Sam you’re so bubbly and outgoing and lively, your voice is awesome for narration, your subject knowledge is truly spectacular, and the content you create is just plain sweeeeet man!! Major props bro, God Bless!
He is a good teacher.
@@whoarewe7515He's a very very excellent and very intelligent man
What surprises me more of the wreck is how well the beautiful Turkish Bath are preserved.
@Derekanic Go walk out into traffic.
At the beginning i felt that the clock wouldn't have stopped at 2:20am. i found the cabin was on C Deck next to the pursers office. I felt like the water would have reached it well before 2:20am. I then went and watched the latest H&G Real Time Sinking from last year and calculated where there cabin would be. i now think its entirely possible that it stopped at 2:20am.
230 it in a case gave it few more minutes clock where tough back than
@@jimwood4726 that one was mechanically linked to the ship's master clock on the bridge.
Remember, this is a moving vehicle that travels several hundred miles every day, going almost straight along the parallels-you don't want your passengers disembarking in New York with five days' worth of jetlag, so you set the clocks in their cabins to go back and forth based on the one set each day by one of the officers handling navigation.
I'm reminded of violent tornado damage -- sometimes, entire houses are swept clean off foundations while others mere yards away are relatively untouched. A house can be totaled but its fancy porcelain dinner set is still perfectly stacked and unchipped in sagging cabinets, much like stacks of plates still intact on the Titanic. Wind and water are different destructive elements yet we find so many similar odd remnants in their wake. It's humbling to reconstruct these moments and try to understand it.
Video idea: How would Titanic have looked at night (lighting) VS how it looks at night in Cameron’s film and documentaries? What type of light bulbs were used? I read an article earlier talking about how dim the lighting actually was, and how it would’ve had a yellow/orange glow. Also, since it was under-booked and most people were asleep, I assume many of the portholes would’ve been dark (especially in 1st class). Some say passengers would’ve left their lights on after leaving the cabins to go to lifeboats, but there are disagreements. Also, there were no fixed funnel lights so they would not have been lit.
I’ve always been obsessed with Titanic and I’ve wondered my entire life what the ship would’ve looked like that night.
It definitely would be dim and dark by todays standards. The bulbs were all Incandescent and low wattage, best guess would be slightly brighter than the Gas lights of the day. And as it was pitch black out with the only ambient light from the ship itself, it would be terrifyingly dark off the ship
Showing the ship with all the porthole lights blazing makes the ship easier to see it artwork and animations. I've seen some animations with the lights off, and while realistic enough, the ship can be almost impossible to see.
I agree...while much brighter than the starlight of the moonless night it would have been nowhere near as bright as ships today and probably not much different that a gas lamp lit city street if you are on decks....black as can be once you were 100 ft away from her
@@jeremymartin1957 Maybe if your under 30. Incandescent lights aren't so old that no one recalls them. I do say I loathe LED lights and those slightly less awful halogens. Nothing compares to the soft warm glow of an Edison style incandescent. That's like shitting on firelight and preferring florescent lights.
@@evil1by1 I am over 30 and grew up with incandescent in the standard wattages we know and love. At the time of Titantic's sailing, light bulbs did have Tungsten filaments but that was a fairly new development still and the glass didn't have a standard gas, with inert not being seen as an efficient option until 1913. Yes it was still a yellow light, but to the eyes of the time it was a white light. At least until Mogal bulbs... those were like staring into an LED directly and sound like a war zone when they blew (had one growing up. The lamp was from the 20s and was enough to nearly light a whole room).
Fantastic video. I've never seen that footage of the lights coming through the lead glass windows before, and it was heartbreakingly beautiful to see. Thanks for that.
Ghosts of the abyss
I remember working as a security guard and working the titanic event. Felt so surreal to be in the same room as all those lost artifacts. I legit got lightheaded upon first viewing it all.
I think that there was water in the jar so that helped hold it down. And there was originally a sort of railing on the shelf which also helped i assume.
wonder if the wine bottles still good inside
@@randomrazr Maybe lol
@@randomrazr They actually did find like 50 bottles of champagne that were still closed. www.pinterest.cl/pin/419608890267389129/
Off topic note, but You’re one of the few leaders who seriously accomplished everything that you campaigned for
@@Nebulasecura Certainly. Thank you for the compliment as well.
Depending on who’s account you listened to there is even more to the Strauss’ story than Ida staying in spite of being offered a spot on a boat. Many first class men ended up in boats with their wives and according to several sources Ida AND Isidore were offered a seat by Murdoch and Isidore turned it down, saying that while there were still women, children and young men with their whole lives ahead of them aboard, he, an old and wealthy man who’d lived a full, prosperous, happy life with the woman he loved and a family he adored, simply could not take a seat in a boat until they’d all been evacuated. After this Ida was offered her place by Lightoller as we see in the movie and turns it down to stay with her husband. Some sources say she’d originally tried to convince Isidore to board the lifeboat they were both offered a seat in, with him steadfastly refusing to do so as being a coward in God’s eyes by using his societal influence and wealth to live while others died was simply out of the question. Other sources say she supported his decision from the get-go, and others still say that Isidore was never offered a seat with his wife at all. In any case the honor and bravery those two had and their steadfast devotion to each other, as well as their faith in god, should be an inspiration to us all.
😢
Two things that never been found on Titanic - Captain Smith's log book which would have his commands and a book that was shipped on Titanic. That book is in a box, so it should be preserved and would be very valuable
You're referring to Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat. It was illustrated and jeweled. If it's found now, it'll only be a jeweled cover.
The log book would be worthless if you are expecting any information on the sinking. Day to day stuff was kept in a scrap log, to be added in to the main log at a later time.
If the box didn't get water in it then I suppose the book would be well preserved.. But if it filled with water then it's f##cked...
@@TheFarmerfitz it was filled with water a long time ago, especially with the deafening pressure down there. The wine bottles on the ship are strewn across the ocean floor, still corked but definitely the wine was long replaced with sea water because of the pressure.
@Andrew McFadden The book actually was carried on the Titanic, sprobably stowed in the specie room because of it's value. The mummy? Nah.
Another interesting fact about the story of Ida and Isidor Straus is that after Ida initially refused to get in the boat, Isidor was offered a seat in the boat as well, but refused to go before the women and children. It was possible for both of them to be saved, but they chose to die rather than take another’s chance to live.
Considering most lifeboats left half full, 1 with only 12 aboard when it could hold 65, they easily could have survived without taking spots away from anyone else. But Isidor may have known he'd be criticized for surviving when so many women and children perished, like William Carter and Bruce Ismay, and that would hurt the company brand! Or it was a matter of pride and honor, perhaps, that he didn't want to leave others behind!
I like to think he was a gentleman and didn't feel right about surviving when he knew so many were about to die. On the other hand, he could have saved his wife. What a terrible situation and predicament!
Ironically in Isadores will there is a provision for Ida under the stipulation that he wished her to " be a little selfish for once and enjoy herself". That the trait he so admired in her would mean he could never see his last wish for her fulfilled.
Couldn't be me
@@evil1by1I think he didnget his wish, in a way. She refused to leave him alone. Many would say that is selfish. She chose to go out with the man she loved dearly and that is beautiful.
With Isidor and Ida Strauss story, the detail that always breaks my heart a bit more than it already does is the fact that they stayed together til the very end, (most likely) not even once did they get separated. There is a lot of survivor's testimony of them getting help from either Isidor or ida. They chose to stay onboard, yet they helped other people get into the lifeboats. Anytime I read a story of a survivor and they mentioned spotting Isidor and Ida together, holding each other in a comforting hug, it kills me. They seemed like such good people.
It's amazing to me that even after impact the ship still supports the anchors and the big 60 ton anchor in the center did not cave the deck in.
Actually, the centre aanchor was about 15.8 tons. Still awesome, though.
Yeah it's amazing even when it hit the sea bed they stayed locked in place. And here we are 110 years later those mechanisms are still holding tight! Just amazing!
you are amazed by basic steel?
@@Blox117 yeah.. basic steel that has been corroding for 110 years and still supporting the weight. You are about as dense as the steel the anchor is made from.
I have just stumbled across your channel over the past couple weeks. I absolutely love your content. I was once very interested in the Titanic when I was very young. You have rekindled that interest for me. Thank you
I love your videos! I come from England so waking up to see you've posted a new video really is the best way to start my day ❤
This is I think my favourite video so far Sam, so much information and it really does have people debating various topics you covered , such fabulous content as all ways ,thankyou.
I think that clock should be one of the first items that they need to bring up besides the wireless system before it's too late.
Have to unbolt it 1st!
Hi Sam! I'm so happy your channel is growing so much, your content is very interesting and to the point, so fun to watch! Personally, it helps me a lot with anxiety and the chaos of real life. Keep doing what you're doing!
Video idea: I would love to the your collection of ship models, sooo cool.
Saludos from Argentina!
Thanks I’m glad to help, trust me I know all about anxiety. The past year and a half has been brutal on everyone. Feel free to add me of Facebook go to the Facebook group Encyclopedia Titanica! You will find me easy! Stay safe and well!
@@HistoricTravels thank you so much, you just made my day! See you on Facebook then 😁
I found your channel yesterday and i fell in love with all these videos, you explain really well which is something i struggle with sometimes. Keep up the good work
Sam, I love your videos and your channel. They are so informative and well done. Keep it up!
In regards to the jar, I would definitely say that the rail around the edge of that shelf contributed greatly to its still standing. If that glassware was designed to go along with that mirror/vanity in a set, then perhaps there is some sort of indentation that it was designed to slot into from added stability in high seas...
Also, not being able to think of any more probable alternatives, I would agree with your conclusion about the time displayed on the clock.
Love your videos! I've been a Titanic fanatic since I was 9, but I'm still learning a lot from channels such as yours and Oceanliner Designs.
The Straus' story is very sad indeed, though a very noble decision by both. I wish you would've included that Isidor was also offered a spot in the lifeboat as well. However Isidor adamantly refused, as there were women and children still not on lifeboats. “I will not go before the other men”, he stated. Then it led to Ida saying, “We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go”...40 years together, what a love story til the very end.
Congrats on making it to 20,000 subscribers and I hope your channel continues to grow., There are plenty of us Titanic-Philes out there and your videos are so interesting informative and even someone like me who has been studying Titanic for over 30 years there is always something new to learn. Keep up the good work Sam!
Your channel is so so great. Thank you for everything you do and for helping to keep the mighty alive.
I went to the titanic museum in Gatlinburg TN this past week and I definitely recommend it , I already knew everything they told us bc I watched all your videos buttt It’s fine I’m obsessed w titanic 😅😂 I def think you would enjoy the artifacts they have!
Another great one Sam.
congrats on 20k! i've been here since around 12k a month ago or so. great progress!
I love your videos man! Keep em coming!
Congratulations on 20k subscribers!! 🥳
Can you do a video about the dogs on the titanic? I know a few survived. And that some of the dogs were let out of the kennels while it was sinking
The dogs went down with the ship. They died like dogs. On the other hand, pigs and chickens were found floating on the water unharmed the next day, still in their wooden cages. They always survive shipwrecks. And this demonstrates why we sailors get a chicken tattooed on our right foot instep and a pig tattooed on our left foot instep. So that we won't drown if the ship goes down.
@@SSN515 interesting! You should have tattooed water wings on your arms and a life jacked on your chest for better results tho
@@devontreleaven534 That's not the tradition. We also get a turtle shell tattooed on our backs after we cross the Equator and do the Shellback initiation into the mysteries of the deep and appear in front of the Court of King Neptune and his Royal Scribe, Davy Jones.
3 out of at least 12 survived! www.akc.org/expert-advice/news/remembering-dogs-titanic/
@@SSN515 where did you got that information about the cages and living animals on it floating on the morning after the sinking?
Man, this channel is so interesting and informative!! I’ve learnt so many new things about different ships and how they sunk. Many thanks!!
Just found your channel and it’s so interesting! I’ve been binge watching all throughout day. Great work dude keep up the amazing videos ❤️❤️
For me it’s so hard to look at the wreck of titanic not just because of the amount of life lost and the brutality of it all, but also because the ship is just so beautiful inside and out that it’s a shame that on her maiden voyage she plummeted 12500 feet down and is decaying into nothingness. Such a beautiful ship turned into a horror show, that in itself is hard to look at for me at least. I work on sports fishing yachts as a varnisher and to see such a grand and pretty ship go through what it did, is devastating to me. So many hours/hard work was put into that ship just for it to become what it is today on the sea floor, never able to travel through the ocean more than once. A tragedy indeed. Rip the people who suffered in that water that night, and rest in peace to that beautiful vessel
The Strauss story is included in the movie, “A Night to Remember”. I say the clock was running right up to the point of submersion, which would give the exact time of the sinking. Those clocks had a balance wheel like a watch rather than a pendulum so the motion of the ship wouldn’t affect the running. Such a shame that we are going to eventually lose this ship completely. Great presentation!
I absolutely love your channel. I’m a history buff and I love what you do here. Fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Fantastic video idea!! You’re doing great dude
Nice cut :)
completely random and interesting fact
when James Cameron made the 1997 film with the B-Deck suite where Rose was, Cameron actually basically replicated the Strauss Suite unknowningly. he never knew he did it until "TITANIC: 20 Years Later" came out and in that film, he said that in one of his wreck dives, he actually found the Strauss Suite and might have took a picture of it and compared it to the set that was in the film, both were identical.
REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!?!
@@HistoricTravels yes.
on Disney+ you can find "TITANIC: 20 Years Later", I'd recommend watching it because it not only tells a little history of Titanic but it also tells what James Cameron noticed about his own movie.
The weird thing is, that the suite where Rose was, namely B52-54-56, was the one in which in real life, Ismay traveled, and the real B52-54-56 looked pretty different. So it looks like Cameron unknowingly turned the Ismay suite into the Strauss suite.
Mate, your videos are really good, and very informative. You put a very good prospective on all things Titanic. Keep up the great work mate.
Thanks for doing these titanic videos. They are very well put together. You do a really good job of breaking it all down.
Congratulations Sam on the 20,000 plus subscribers! 👍👏
This one was a really interesting and thought provoking video. Is it true that the Strouses' returned to their cabin to die, or is that just a myth and they actually stayed on the ship boat deck or stern until Titanic went down? Well... Keep up the great work, really enjoying and always looking forward to your next video! Again congratulations! 🎊 🎉
They were last seen sitting side by side in deck chairs!
I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if there was a way that a camera could explore more inside the wreck both stern and bow. I know the wreck is way down in the Atlantic and the water pressure is high but still would be cool to see more inside one day.
I think it is (with all the footage to date) safe to say that we have seen most everything inside the wreck that is possible. What you don't see, you can't since there is obviously been tons of collapse and decay.
love the videos! keep the hard work up!
I really enjoyed your program, so please keep it going. A big thanks!
Make a part two right now.. I'm waiting.. do it.. DO IT
So Friday after i was commenting on your last video, I ended up watching a James Cameron video about the debris field and he was talking about the hatch!!! How did you read my mind, Sam!!! 😂😂😂
Can’t wait to see this channel at 1 million! Keep up the great work
I subscribed at 3k followers. This channel exploded fast. Congratulations! 💜
Nice haircut! 😃 Awesome video!😃
i wonder if fish ever swim by and comment to the other fish “hey look, it’s the titanic.”
There are some fish down there, but very few. Some of the deep dives show fish, one in the dining room.
Those would be chimera or ratfish. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 Interesting. It's amazing anything can live in such depths and eternal darkness.
It's mostly crustaceans and microorganisms down there.
@@78FullSizeBronco I'm amazed anything can live at that depth.
Amazing Sam, as always
Really enjoying your channel🚢
I think that minute hand is just some sludge. BUT. BIG BUT. I do think that the real minute hand is behind that sludge, and the real minute hand painted that kind of slude black or the paint could have mixed with something creating the sludge.
Honestly, I don't think I could leave my husband, either.
As the story goes Isador was offered a place in the lifeboat with his wife but refused to leave the ship "before any other man."
@@1940limited If it were Bezo's or Gates they'd hop into their own personal craft and say "See ya plebs!"
As a husband and a father, as terrifying as having to stay behind would be, seeing that my wife and children are saved would be the highest priority. I place their, for want of a better word, worth, far above my own.
@@Field_Marshal_Emu That's all the more reason not to make orphans and a widow out of them.
I could leave my husband, if I had one. Especially since I'm straight.
wow I can't belive this you've grown so much I've been here since 1000 subscribers this is crazy I love your channel so much thank you
i really like this video can you please show more cool stuff from the wreck
Thank you for these videos. They are great information and well presented for a passionate guy.
One cool awesome fact about the clock is that if we are able to see the exact time the clock stopped, we will be able to correctly gauge the exact time the water flooded that room and calculate how long it took to flood with great precision
I love the models of the ships that you have! If you dont mind, where did you get them? Or did you build them?
It’s from Titanic H and G
There from titanic honor and glory website
Ah, thankyou! MUST HAVE
I hope you get a lot more subs I think you do a wonderful job and I think it’s great that these stories are told.
one of the first 300 subs. Happy your doing well
Get in the boat Ida!
NO! We've been together for forty years! Where you go I go! Don't argue with me Isador! You know I'm right!
you're right honey, you're always right.
That'd be my better half and me. Better half--Isador and me--Ida.

Bro. Your videos are amazing. I’ve been infatuated with the titanic since I was a kid. My grandparents had very old history books buried under the an old pool table growing up in the late 80s/early 90s. I used to crawl under there with a flashlight and read on history. Especially the titanic and ww1/2. Love your videos man. Keep them up. I’ll be watching.
Love these videos! Cant stop watching them!
So I did some digging into Titanic's clocks, and long story short your right. So all of Titanic's clocks that were in passenger rooms and such were all slaves to a master clock somewhere on the ship that was kept to local mean time. That master clock (and all slaves dependent on it) died when the power went out. So it probably says something like 2:18-2:20, depending on when exactly the power went out and if the slow loss of power as the night went on caused the clocks to slow, but it's likely very close to 2:20 am
Wait... those were electric clocks? In 1912? Amazing.
Not quite. The slave clocks were driven by electrical impulses sent from the master clock, but the master clock itself was a mechanical clock, completely independent of the ship's electrical system. The master was driven by a 36 hour wound spring. That mechanicism actually generated the electrical impulses sent to the slave clocks by actuating a magneto. So when did the master clock stop? Who knows. It was probably still working until the water pressure imploded it's waterproof casing, but it wouldn't correspond with the ship losing power.
@@Hammerandhearth so you inspired me to do more research (which given the limited interest in such a niche topic was rough) and I actually found the specific clock model used by white star on the Titanic. One was sold at auction in 2018. And it seems that you're right, my initial research said it was a type of electromechanical clock but didn't leave a name or model so I kinda assumed. This is what I get for having my most reliable research being a 2006 online form referring to dead links now held by Verizon. Anyways, with that said it's still likely to read around that time regardless given the violence of the impact with the ground, but as you said it was likely still ticking for some time post sinking.
@@DominicMV yeah, I never gave Titanic's time keeping a second though until Sam mentioned that the clock was secured to the mantle. That lead me to check Bruce Beveridge's "The Ship Magnificent" and once I saw the word "Magneta" that just opened up a 3 hour rabbit hole of impromptu research. The whole arrangement seems really clever now that I know its a thing.
I noticed you changed the slideshow on your tv again! But I kinda like the original one you had a little more, you know the one that had multiple ocean liners in it, although, I do suggest you keep some of those paintings and drawings of the titanic in there!
Great video, you definitely need a part 2!
Excellent episode! Thanks again!
Looking fresh with the new haircut bud!
In the final word with James Cameron, they map the entire debris field and go over all the physics and hydraulics based on the new information of the degree field, how the bow got that compressed look, why the hatch ended up out there, why the stern looks like a bomb hit it and why other pieces of debris are thrown so absolutely far away from the main site. They also re-calculate the height of the angle of the stern sticking into the air as the ship sank and realised that it’s unlikely that it was anywhere near as pronounced as it appears in The 97 movie. They estimated that it would have broken between 12 and 20-ish degrees not the 40 or 45+ you see in the movie. The great loss is never being able to get down into the bottom of the ship to identify the iceberg damage, that being said, the damage of the iceberg glancing by would probably be nothing compare to the collision with the sea floor so it would be hard to tell what from what.

Being from Belfast, i really have loved watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Actually, I actually enjoyed this actual video. It actually helped me actually understand more about the actual wreck. Actually, there was actually one thing that actually bothered me about this video, but actually I can't quite actually figure out what it actually was actually.
Actually lol
Actually. *cinemasins ding*
😂 Ha Ha! Love it. Don't forget "literally", "epic", "iconic"' "game-changer" as annoying words/phrases.
The jar could be designed to be locked in place, and you would have to twist it or something to use it
Actually, the jar and glasses are recessed into a hole in a shelf that looks like a railing but is a solid board. The jar would have to be lifted straight up to get it out. That’s why it’s still in the same position in both pictures.
It is great to know that there is someone else as interested in the Titanic as I am. My husband and I went to see the exhibit in Atlantic City many moons ago and saw the Big Piece up close. He touched one of the davits on display and said he heard anguished screams. That was eerie. Keep up with the information!
Great video as always
Why did you delete your last video?
I think there was a problem with the listing. The only way people were getting notifications to the video were people who looked at my channel. So I thought I would try to reupload.
@@HistoricTravels ah I see.
@@GlamorousTitanic21 what happened? You were in the middle of typing something and the page crashed?
@@HistoricTravels I was telling you that I understood why you deleted the last video.
First
Indeed
I really enjoy these presentations. Thank You for sharing with us.
Excellent videos..Glad I subscribed
My biggest criticism of the Cameron film is that it completely ignores the REAL people and stories of the Titanic in favor of the fictitious love story of 2 fictitious characters. I actually find it offensive to the memories of the real people who gave their lives, many of them heroically.
That was by design. Cameron knew that other clinical films about TITANIC existed, his goal was to get the audience to feel the tragedy on a microcosmic level, by giving us two characters to love and care about, take us through the tragedy with them and then have one die. By feeling Jack's death we feel the deaths of everyone who died that night.
The number, over 1,500, is a large and impersonal number, but, in Cameron's words, he created Jack and Rose to be a sort of lightning rod to capture the feeling of loss for us the audience.
Was about the stack of dishes still on the shelf?
Love your videos. Maybe in the future we can get individual or one big video discussing Titanic's seven officers
This channel makes me happy
Congrats on the 20K
Fascinating video and we'll presented...thank you ..
Also, oml you're growing quick... Just last week you had 19.2k! Congrats.
Congratulations on reaching 20,000 subscribers! I personally think why the jar did not fall of is that the cold water content that got into it, the air inside of the jar also cools down. This occurence of these circumstances, creates a slight vacuum that pulls the mouth of the jar towards the furniture more tightly. I also got a content idea which you can hopefully cover:
The MV Doña Paz Disaster. This passenger vessel was said to be severely overloaded when it has collided with an oil tanker: Vector, on December 20, 1987. It was also considered the "Asia's Titanic" - and I would love if you can cover about it.
I have herd of that, someone else recommended it! I will look into it.
