That’s terrible I couldn’t imagine giving people who lost their wages £5 each as a gift to backfire so badly and ruin your reputation and life so much like what the hell
Yea I feel bad for someone with such a cool name
Cosmo
1 pound a week, in 1912 was a wage in Harland and Wolff, for shipbuilders, so they were given 5 times their weekly pay.
£5 1912 is equivalent to £700 today and it was a very bad media and fake news and gossip, over a high interest debate, and no social media and today's media
@@lawrencewilson123My great grandfather was one of the crewmen on lifeboat one, Albert Horswill. He did get a check from Cosmo Duff Gordon which was merely a kind gesture to compensate the men for lost wages.
The sea was so calm the Lifeboats could have carried 25 to 40 percent more people.
But imagine 1500 people all trying to climb into a lifeboat at the same time...
@@mattt233 True, but with a ship on the way, they could have saved many more by loading the boats beyond capacity. The calm water would have allowed this
@kirkmorrison6131 yeah I agree. Just saying they did have a point about people swamping the boats.
You are probably right because it doesn’t have waves so if it had more than the people as long as they don’t get too many the life, it won’t go fully under it will only be about to go under so like most of the boat is under, but not to the point where water is spilling over but I can see why they didn’t know that or think about doing that because they were in such a rush I mean they had no idea how much time they had
@@BrokenTV_1945OFFICIAL True, you could go above the normal load level, but they sent many boats out half or less loaded they could have gone back and pulled more from the water.
I think the biggest tragedy is that there wasn't some sort of plan in place to rescue people from the water or fill up the boats. I understand that some of the boats had to be launched without being filled to capacity and that there was a fear of being swamped. But i think when the boats were lowered, they should have met in the water away from the Titanic and passengers transferred over from one boat to another. Once a boat was filled with passengers to full capacity it could sail away to be safe and the empty boat could go back to either try and pick uo up more people from the sinking ship (like Captain Smith requested) or try to pick people up from the water. Not everyone would be saved but at least more people would have been. Of course its easy to suggest solutions years later when you weren't there.
You truly are a Titanic genius, Sam. Your videos are so informative and we all learn new stuff about the Titanic
He's the man
He sure is!
For all the rumours surrounding lifeboat #1 one thing is undeniable. With so many empty seats on the lifeboat and so many people screaming for help in the water, there is NO WAY that it wasn't at least discussed to go back and help. Which brings Lucy Duff Gordon's account into question.
Her account was true and correct as the accusations against her were looked into deeply during the hearing. All the other witnesses verified that she had never said the things that she was accused of by one other person who was clearly making trouble in order to feather his own nest.
@@dianewalker4633 all the other people were just as guilty of negligence as her lol do you expect me to believe that if you were in a lifeboat with a dozen+ empty seats as you rowed through hords of screaming people that not one person on the boat suggested they take a few more on? Delusional.
@@69429boss Did you not watch the video nor read up on it, nor read transcripts of the enquiry, all of which I did? She wasn't guilty of ANYTHING. Not a single thing, so zip it.
How come NONE of the entirety of the remaining lifeboats that DID NOT GO BACK are not being called into question???
@@69429boss You were not there, don’t judge on hindsight that isn’t even 20/20 due to varying accounts.
Just...wow. You always think there's nothing more to learn and yet there always is. Fantastic episode.
What I've learned from this is that if I'm ever in a lifeboat rowing away from a sinking ship, just sit there and keep my mouth shut!
My great grandfather Albert Horswill was one of the crewmen on that lifeboat.
Oh wow.
Your videos are fantastic Sam! I learn something new every time!!
def
I agree.
Also because it's burned into my memory due to people screaming at me about it, I need to correct you with "your", as "You're" means "You Are". sorry for bein' that guy.
@@jeb156 it’s fine man it autocorrected me I’ll fix it quick.
£5 may not sound like a lot, but it was a good amount of money for 1912
I have always loved your videos, you sparked my interest in the Titanic story, keep up the good work
Your research is excellent, so well done! Coincidentally, I have just finished reading up on the Duff-Gordon's case in a lovely old book I have, which had a long chapter on what happened, including a transcript of the hearing and the truth is just as you state it. The Duff-Gordon's were cleared of all the accusations made against them, although sadly the saying that "mud sticks" proved true as many people still preferred to believe the lie. Lady Duff-Gordon also didn't say much while in the lifeboat because she was feeling horribly seasick and was doing all she could to not throw up. I also get seasick on small boats, so I know how she would have felt. So that exchange about not going back to help others simply did not happen.
I'm watching this video on my living room TV and had to get my phone rockin to get a comment going. Just wanted to say I'm AMAZED that you manage to STILL make such informative and AMAZING videos on the titanic. I follow 4 ocean liner channels but Historic Travels IS THE TITANIC CHANNEL as far as I'm concerned.
17:03 bruh That's hilarious
Channel is growing pretty now. amazing, Sam!
17:02 The shade Sam gave Bright Side literally turned off the light bulb
I have been loving your videos for years, Sam. You taught me so much about ocean liners!
Great vid Sam, I’ve wondered about this topic for a long time and I’m happy you made a video about it. Speaking of controversial lifeboats can you do a video on Lifeboat 6 because I’m pretty sure there was some controversy surrounding lifeboat 6. For example not going back for titanic survivors and not going back to the Titanic when they heard Captain Smith calling all the lifeboats to come back.
>and not going back to the Titanic when they heard Captain Smith calling all the lifeboats to come back.
really? never heard this one.
Captain Smith never called for any of the lifeboats to come back. Where did you get that from?
@@dianewalker4633 Captain smith wanted the lifeboats to return to the Titanic to pick up more passengers but unfortunately none did because they were afraid of the suction.
@@dianewalker4633 I found a deleted scene in the movie when he did.
@@Swordifsh1 You surely do know that movies don't always stick to the facts? A deleted scene does not mean that in real life it actually happened.
Actually, your intro is *slightly* off on some important facts. The reason that Lifeboats 1 and 2 were swung out the way they were was not so much to prevent damage to Collapsibles C and D, but because they served the duel purpose of being emergency cutters that *had* to be swung out, ready to go, hence no canvas covers, in case of someone fell overboard or there was an encounter at sea where the Titanic might have to stop and immediately rescue survivors of a shipwreck, etc. When docked in port the two cutters would be stowed like all the other boats inboard and right over the collapsible boats.
The cutters being in a ready-to-go launch configuration probably also contributed to the speed of the Titanic's crew in launching the number of boats they were able to since they had two boats essentially swung out already and just being needed to be filled with people.
In fact, every time Titanic went to sea, the crew had to take time to swing them out, which was considered a lifeboat drill since most the equipment used was very nearly identical to that used for the other boats, and involved dozens of crew members called to stations to swing them out. And swing the boats back in when in port. This, combined with two prior major drills, first at Belfast for Board of Trade agent Francis Carruthers where 16 lifeboats were lowered down, at least 6 to the water, and then again a few boats were lowered all the way as part of a drill at Southampton on the day of Titanic's sailing on April 10th.
Being cutters they also held less people. I think the actual lifeboats were certified for something like 20 more -68 perhaps.
@@neilbain8736 The cutters were rated for 40, but probably managed 45. The 14 regular 30' boats were rated for 65, but probably in the calm waters that night held 70 people or more. However, that would've been risky lowering the boat down the 70' or so to the water.
@@thomasackerman5399I think 70 could have been put in as well, weight wise it would have been fine in the water, when they were tested in Belfast I doubt they used waifs in dresses or flimsy men in top hats, I also think lowering them with 70 would end up with a snapped keel and a clam instead of a boat. 😅
@@stevencorscadden5767 The emergency cutters were good for only 45 people. Maybe 50, if you wanted to get dicey.
I remember stopping by one of your live streams one day and for fun tried to see if I could get your attention by saying hi from Sweden and after like 5 times you did reply live, since then forward you are the only youtuber I have had a tiny brief little conversation with once, anyways I appreciate your content and your channel keep up the good work m8, and hi from Sweden :)
the Bright Side logo killed me xD
Hi history travel's you really made me calm while my village is flooded
I'm so sorry T_T
Talking at the end about even today some media says things without essential fact checking, then a brief glimpse of the Bright Side logo appears. 😂😂 17:03
Typical press blowing everything out of whack. They denied it of course. Let's not forget Stanley Lord, he was punished for not going to the Titanics rescue. His story will be settles, too many stories not enough proof. Great video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your videos are very well done m. I’m learning a whole lot of things about these famous sinkings!!! I have been very interested in the sinking of the Titanic for years, and these videos are very informative!!!
Why didn't you mention that the next day on the Carpathia the Duff Gordons gathered everyone who'd been in Lifeboat #1 and had a photograph taken, which was not looked on kindly by the other surviving passengers. The Duff Gordons were their own worst enemy.
simply b/c they had a picture taken? what's wrong with that?
@@Swordifsh1 It was insensitive and just made the story of the bribe look all the more plausible, like this was their own private lifeboat.
@@Swordifsh1 Optics.
@@virginiamackey6446 People who make bribes do not ask for photos to be taken that would incriminate them. They tend to be very quiet about it and do all they can to cover their tracks. Having the photo taken points to their innocence and not their guilt.
@@virginiamackey6446My great grandfather Albert Horswill was on that lifeboat and in that photograph. So many morally superior people judging history a hundred years on. Albert did get a check from Cosmo, a kind gesture by the Duff Gordons to compensate the crewmen for lost wages.
Sir Cosmo should have sued the newspaper companies for yellow journalism.
YAY a Titanic episode on a Friday🎉
miss the titanic videos from Sam
@historictravels I’ve been watching your videos like crazy over the last few weeks, really great stuff. I also firmly believe you need a “However” shirt in your merch store😂 keep up the great content man
This story is incredible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge🫶🏼
5 pounds in 1912 is about 730 pounds or 930 USD today.
Interesting, because if I remember correctly Lady Duff-Gordon stated in the british enquiry that she doesn't remember anything from that night, because "she was terribly sea sick". So how could she know for sure that she didn't hear the suggestion to return?
Hey Sam. Your videos are very highly detailed and really go in depth. I'm looking into 5th officer Harold Lowe, and i was wondering if you could do a video of his story?
I’d love to see that, his story that night is fascinating
Enjoy your videos mate. I’m also a huge titanic geek, I love it all. All the Olympic class liners. I often visit white star memories here in the U.K. & purchase artefacts from them. I recently bought a document signed by Thomas Andrews & Lord Pirrie. Serious collector here. I’ve also got several fragments, wood pieces & coal from the titanic. As well as wood panelling from Olympic like you for got for your 30th!
Let’s chat!
Hey there I've seen quite a few videos and I'm becoming a huge fan. I have an idea for a video. I don't know if you've talked about it but here it is:
Did Murdoch really order the Titanic's engines full astern (like in the movie) or did he order them to a full stop? And if he did, did the engines really have enough time to get to spin the propellers as fast as it was shown in the movie?
I've read in quite a few articles that if the propellers really did go full astern, the rudder's turn to starboard wouldn't be as effective because of the water flow.
What do you think?
Titanic was moving up to full speed from 0 across several miles. The movie exxagurated this for action, rightfully so, in reality they had no possibility to turn so quickly so fast, even if Murdock didn't stop 2 proper ells, which he did, leaving only the starboard one active.
You know its bad when Sam starts raging hard
If I can remember of the top of my head in the movie a night to remember it presented the scene of lifeboat 1 being lowered and what happened, just came to mind when I saw ur video
Also, I would have preferred that the life boats had been full to capacity, even if it was with men, instead of pushing off below capacity. I don't even mind had they saved the animals. Anything so that they didn't go away below capacity. Save something! Someone! Fill the boats!
One of the few times rich people get their reputations ruined is when he didn't deserved it.
Yea i heard of that boat thanks for sharing your feelings
this is so fascinating, thanks for mentioning. how'd you discover this?
this is definitely the best channel about Titanic on youtube 🚢❤
Hej Sam! Nice to see the new video again! 🤝
Me: Okay TH-cam, post work entertainment, please.
*New Historic Travels upload*
A good evening is guaranteed. Thank you for your entertainment and effort Sam.
This reminds me when that one guy from the titanic (movie) tried to bribe the officer to get into a lifeboat and yes he was a man 👨
That made me laugh too. Like, "Dude I'm about to die. WTF do I want your money for?"
Your money can't save you any more then it can save me
Lil side note, in the 1997 Titanic Movie, Andrews spoke to Lightholler, quoting this:
Right after Jack and Rose said shut up together at a steward.
Andrews: Mr Lightholler! Why are these lifeboats being launched half full?
Lightholler: Not now, Mr Andrews
Andrews: There! Look! 20 or so. In a boat meant for 65. And I saw one 1 boat with only 12. 12!
That lifeboat with 12 people was of course Lifeboat 1. The writers of the 1997 film really did their research, unlike Britannic… lol.
I didn’t know bright side were time travelers
Just goes to show that good deeds don't go unpunished. Cosmo was being charitable.
Cosmo was a very good person, my great grandfather was one of the crewmen on that lifeboat who received the check, a kind gesture that was turned into a slanderous lie of a bribe. It really ruined the lives of Cosmo and Lucy.
When did the Board of Trade regulations about a ship sinking and crew wages change?
There are several "Titanic Archive - 1957" interviews with actual passengers put out by "BBC South Today" on TH-cam. One of the female passengers said she refused to get in a lifeboat and went back to her room until someone stressed to her how much danger she was in. I don't recall her name, but she had a porcelain pig, which someone threw in the lifeboat and she wanted to go after it but refused to jump. Two men made a seat for her by locking their arms together and lowered her down. From the interviews, at first it sounds like people just thought it was safer to stay on the ship and didn't want to go in the lifeboats. I have heard that before.
Yes, she took her porcelain lucky pig with her and left all her jewelry behind!!
It is good too see the press still do the same lies today.
If I remember the sailor complained first that they had lost their kit; ergo the personal effects and professional equipment they needed. And then added that he couldn't buy a new one because his wages had just stopped. Little different, but not fully. When I read it he lost his tools of his trade, the company was not going to replace it, and his wages were stopped.
THe 5 pounds was the cost of the equipment they needed to go back to work.
The photograph that Lady Duff Gordon took with all the sailors after they reached NY was also damning on them. It made the sailors look like their private crew. Though it was more likely she just wanted something to keep after her traumatic event. From what I have read about her, her greatest problem was just having terrible taste.
Wasn't #1 and #2 emergency cutters incase of an overboard situation they had a boat ready to pick them up?
Yes, they were made for man overboard situations, great point. My great grandfather Albert Horswill was one of the crewmen who was on cutter boat 1 and received the kind gesture from Cosmo Duff Gordon to compensate for lost wages. It’s a shame what the media did to him.
@@donnix1192 yeah.
Every good story needs its villains. The news media hasn't changed at all!!
Sam that was so sus when you flashed the bright side logo on the screen talking about miss information today
CANT WAIT, OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO BY SAM! 😃
Sam, I have a topic for you that it seems no one has ever done an article or video on! Which is mind boggling! On a video about 10 mysterious artifacts, someone raised the notion that the doll’s head in the movie was Eva Hart’s doll. I went, WHAT??! So I Googled Eva Hart’s doll. No one has done any decent article on this, but it appears that 1) Ballard discovered a doll’s head in the sand and took a photo which is on Facebook, but whether they ever retrieved it, I don’t know. 2) Cameron used Ballard’s photo to fake a doll’s head, which was supposed to be Cora’s. 3) Eva Hart’s doll’s head apparently traveled to Spain and was recovered by a fisherman and authenticated, which is mind boggling but no one has ever told this story, in an article. 4) Eva’s doll was sold at auction. Eva was contacted and apparently some deal was made, but Eva never owned the doll again. 5) Eva is always shown with her parents and a doll, which must have been the doll that floated to Spain, yet no reporter apparently ever interviewed Eva about the doll’s name, what she looked like, where she was left in Titanic, etc. 6) Apparently some information about the doll was obtained in a memoir of Eva’s-because someone knew to take the doll’s head in Spain and authenticate it by fitting it to a mold of a certain English doll manufacturer. Sam, go to work!
So to clarify-there were at least two separate dolls on Titanic, and the one that was Eva’s and traveled to Spain is NOT the fake one in the movie, or the real one that Ballard photographed in 85.
Hey Sam, Just Want To Know. Would The "Supposed" LifeBoat Drill Save The Titanic From Sinking?
No, a drill wouldn't have stopped the iceberg collision!
On the night of the April 15th, 1912, Titanic (also known at the time as The Unsinkable) went down while she was trying to break a speed record. Unfortunately, that record was never achieved and the RMS Titanic hit an iceberg in the midst of the Pacific. If they'd have had binoculars aboard, this probably wouldn't have never happened. Titanic was under the average in terms of safety at the time, as she had very few lifeboats. Quickly after the Titanic set on fire, the third class passengers were emprisoned downstairs making it impossible to reach the deck of the ship. It is also widely known the crew members were heavily armed. Surrounding ships such as the California tried to help and the Titanic operators told them to shut the .. up. The Titanic sank in one piece.
Troll lol
Also don't forget Murdoch killed himself and the passengers killed many of the first class passengers just as Morgan had planned.
@@iamhungey12345 The scotland corridor was a warzone between classes.
Need bright side to make a video saying all of this
@@elperrobeatle Besides there's no way for anyone to remain that calm in real life as everyone knows people are just like Tusken Raiders by the end of the day.
Hi Sam you could make a video about where did the lifeboats on titanic go after the sinking
It would be fairly boring.They remained largely where they were until Carpathia arrived.
9:30-“There goes your beautiful nightdress.” That line was in the 2012 Titanic miniseries! 12:20- this is the same thing that journalists did to Bruce Ismay. I understand there are a TON of rich people out there who are jerks (we see several big names today like Elon Musk and Donald Trump), but some don’t deserve the hate they get, behind all their wealth, they still have redeeming traits.
It was lady Duff gordon. She complained about the space. In the 97 movie it shows molly brown in the boat with her and a good amount more but that wasnt the case.
TBH the movie did Brown dirty though not in the level of what they did to Murdoch.
@@iamhungey12345 How it do her dirty? And it didnt do him dirty it went off many testimonies over the years. And thats not the first time it was on film. I dont think anyones death was exactly how it happened. But it was a movie and needed a way out for each character.
@@violentdavillain3430 Care to elaborate on why you think what was portrayed of them in the movie was accurate? Molly Brown was one thing but Murdoch's case there was never a confirmation or proof that he killed himself.
@@iamhungey12345 Care to elaborate how molly brown was done dirty? She tried to get them to go back like in real life. And actually shes the one who said shell throw that guy off the boat
@@iamhungey12345 as I said, it wasnt the first time it was on screen. And you cant prove anyones particular death cus it was all eye witness accounts. And Lightoller said he didnt but later on admitted he did. Doesnt make him bad, he wasnt going to make it out alive and people in the crowd were getting out of hand.
Poor man getting accused on unfounded rumours for helping sailors who lost few days pay but it does look like from outsiders view as a bribe
Leave it to the media to always blow things out of proportion
Hi Sam, it just goes to show how some people can be so callous and selfish!
17:01 🤣🤣🤣
I thought the most controversial lifeboat was Collapsible C, the one Ismay was in.
A lifeboat with a corruption addiction with the crew member or passenger, we sure this isn't one of the most immoral stories from titanic?
That Lego model is awesome .
Hopefully the Board of Trade did away with that regulation about ship crewmembers losing their wages when a ship sinks.
Great vid
12:49 this just made me sad
£5 equivalent of 1912, is £700 today equivalent
i think the boats should have made a perimeter around the people in the water and given them a chance to swim to the boats to save themselves.
Nothing changes,the press would do the same thing now
Wait wait wait! What happened to her dog?! I NEED TO KNOW IT SURVIVED!
There seems 2 be no record of the Duff Gordons travelling with any pets! Only their secretary!
great video keep the great work up #24
It should never have left the boat in the first place with only 12 people. They should’ve left it there and let 20 more in
Weren't lifeboats 1 and 2 known as "emergency cutters" or something similar? They had less capacity than most of the other standard boats and had there own name, I think that's it.
Correct. Sam goofed up at the beginning and didn't describe their true purpose and why they actually were swung out. The boats were somewhat smaller than the regular 14 clinker-built boats and they were swung out so that they could be launched rapidly in the advent of a man overboard or coming across a small boat or people in need of rescue at sea.
When at dock and until the ship was underway, the boats were brought back inboard and secured above the collapsibles.
@@mikedicenso2778 Alright, that's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying!
If the lifeboats were filled to the full listed capacity how many passengers and crew would have perished?
''The ship had 20 lifeboats that, in total, could accommodate 1,178 people, a little over half of the 2,209 on board the night it sank.''
5 gold pounds is about 1.1 oz of gold FYI cheers love your vids
Good show
Sam, will you do a video about Daniel Buckley, a third class passenger who, like Bruce Ismay, was accused of dressing like a woman to get into a lifeboat? He did have a shawl over his head, but that's because one of the women in the boat gave it to him and told him to put it over his head.
Hey, can you talk about titanic 2 the trailer of 2024 please
Sam, What if the Titanic unloaded passengers onto the Iceberg??
Thats just not going to help at all...
@DrCury448 I bet the people who ended up in the water would've liked to give it a shot.
@@caseybanter lol
@@caseybanter Maybe even fight a polar bear.
Yeah you know the reference.
@iamhungey12345 lol.
I dont know the references tho!
The fact that Lucy Duff-Gordon was more concerned about the loss of an item of clothing than the 1500+ people who were shrieking for help and dying is absolutely disgraceful. She must have been incredibly shallow and materialistic. I cannot believe that the subject of returning to pick up survivors was never discussed. Charles Hendrickson was probably the only one in the lifeboat who was honest about that. The rest of the people in the lifeboat probably denied that conversation because they didn't want to admit that they chose not to attempt to pick up survivivors. I am not sure why you want to paint Mr. Duff-Grodon as the good guy and Hendrickson as the media rat bad guy. If Hendrickson did tell the story of the checks to the press, I'd guess that he did out of disgust with the others for refusing to return. And you admit that you have no proof of Hendrickson being the source of the story but "you wouldn't put it past him". I wouldn't put it past a spoiled rich woman who was more concerned with clothing than human life to have refused to go back. And it sure does sound like that money was a bribe or hush money to keep everyone telling the same story. For a lifeboat with 12 to fail to return is inexcusable. If Cosmo Duff-Gordon had a real sense of decency, he'd have demanded that the crew row back to rescue survivors. Offering them money to do that would have demonstrated integrity. I do not understand why you perceive him as the victim. I like your videos but I disagree with your analysis.
Maybe it’s harsh but 5$? What a cheapskate and honestly, I wish more of the other classes were saved instead of these rich people who offered about 100x less than even their ticket cost…
Such a great guy, but didnt insist on going back to help save others? In a boat barely a quarter full, they sat back for the better part of two hours as the ship sank, knowing how limited lifeboat seats were, and dis nothing. Bribed or no, everyone on rhat boat should have been ashamed.
What is the difference between a collapsible and regular life boat?
''They were equipped similarly to the main lifeboats but with only one boathook, one water container, one bailer and six oars each. 4 "collapsible" Engelhardt lifeboats. These were effectively boat-shaped unsinkable rafts of kapok and cork, with heavy canvas sides that could be raised to form a boat.''
It's interesting that Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon was able to write cheques after the ship sank. I suppose he carried his chequebook with him at all times, so it wasn't lost with the ship.
Possibly. He might have kept itin his coat, though a a check isn't technically a specific piece of paper. A signed letter with the proper information would do as well. Especially before electronic verification.
He probably wrote those checks when he got back home to New York.
No good deed goes unpunished.
And people want to talk about Lightoller when this boat was launched by Murdoch
I can feel the anger and that's a good thing.
Are you sure about Bright Side giving false information? I think you should cover a other of there video to prove your point.
Boat 1 was not a true lifeboat. It was an emergency cutter.
This may be a morbid and/or stupid ? but what happened to the bodies?? The ones in the water, the ones still on the ship? Did they just float away? Are the skeletons still at the bottom of the ocean?
Bodies wearing lifejackets were either recovered after, buried at sea, or floated away, eventually rotting away! Bodies without lifejackets would have sunk, like Jack did! And any bodies taken 2 the ocean floor were eaten by bacteria, leaving only their shoes!
@@trevorblue4531 fascinating… I also saw someone did a short saying the ones inside the rear half of the ship would’ve just spontaneously exploded from the implosion
@@_justinblizzle ''The stern of the ship, which measures about 350 feet (105 m) long, was catastrophically damaged during the descent and landing on the sea bed. It had not fully filled with water when it sank, and the increasing water pressure caused trapped air pockets to implode, tearing apart the hull.''
I’m tired of seeing people saying that the titanic never sunk. And it was the Olympic. Can you please make a video proving that the titanic did indeed sink
''Titanic History/Proof the Olympic and Titanic weren't switched.''
No good deed goes unpunished it seems
Titanic sunk, because the weight of the incomming water pulled Titanics Bow down, so the water could skip the waterthight compartments... but what would happen, if the crew of titanic damaged some watertight compartments in the Back of the ship, to balance the weight of the water in the Bow, that this couldn't flow over the watertight compartments in the Front?
The only think thing that would cause is the power going out and sink faster for sure, even if that worked water should still enter the ship from the bow.
Regardless what was said and what took place on the boat, the ultimate responsibility is on the officer(s) that released the boat a quarter full. If there were not any "women and children" near by, just start throwing bodies in the boat to fill it regardless of gender and age. Screw the protocols!
Because people didn't want to get inside the boat. The ship looked to okay, if a bit down at the head, and so most people didn't want to take the risk. It wasn't until much later when it was clear the situation was worse than it seemed at first that people started getting in the boats. The officers and crew didn't want to start a panic, so they kept the truth that the ship was going to sink less than two hours to themselves.
Things might've been different if there had been enough lifeboats and then the crew could've been for open about the situation which would've galvanized people into risking getting in the lifeboats.
Didn't you listen to the explanation?
@@mikedicenso2778 More lifeboats wouldn't guarantee anything, they barely got all the ones they had out when the ship sank and couple of them weren't even launched properly.
@@iamhungey12345 You can now be more forthright with people in telling them that the ship is going to sink, which means that more people are going to want to get in a lifeboat right from the get go, which in turn means more people will survive overall, even if all the boats can't be launched.
Also, I see you fell for the new myth going around. The reason Collapsible A and B weren't "launched right" was simply on account of where they were.
On top of the officer's quarter's rooftop on either side of funnel no. 1.
That made it much more difficult to prepare them for launch than they otherwise would've been. There's just no getting around that for the revisionists. If they'd been located under lifeboats 3 and 4, they'd have been much more quickly gotten to and launched instead of having to deal with the makeshift ramps and other things that delayed their being made ready.
@@mikedicenso2778 Not so much that they're myths but there was barely any time to get all of them out to begin with. Even had they been located better it still wouldn't change that more lifeboats wouldn't have save that much people as they would have been wasted.
