My German Grandmother was invited as a guest of the Straus's who owned Macy's to join them on the maiden voyage. She declined saying she'd be across the Atlantic enough times. They went down with the ship and my grandmother lived and I am here to tell the story.
My Italian grandfather was invited as a guest of J.J. Astor & his wife to join them in a 3-way on the maiden voyage. He declined saying he had caught VD enough times. They went down with the ship but my grandfather lived and I am here to tell the story
Granny probably gave an extra mean gluck gluck 9000 back in the day if she was getting invited on the Titanic for it's maiden cruise across the Atlantic by the dude who owned Macy's
@@aditipant249 I'm sure all a survived passenger had to do was close their eyes 🥺 It must have been a memory that lived in there minds eye for all their life.. such sad trauma
I actually met a Titanic survivor in 1964 when I was 6. My grandmother took me on a passenger train from Louisiana to Chicago. En route my grandmother met a lady her same age ( both were born in 1900). This lady was on the Titanic with her parents when she was 12 years old. I remember the lady spoke of the event matter of factly and didn't seem to be uncomfortable talking about it. I can't remember if her parents survived and I can't remember her name, but I do recall she and my grandmother were both from well to do families from Boston who lost all their wealth in the Depression of the 1930s.
To be honest I'm not surprised she wasn't too uncomfortable talking about. 12 year old female who (judging from your description) travelled first class. Very likely she was lucky and got off the ship before the true severity of the situation had well and true sunk in (no pun intended) with the majority of the passengers.
Hmm, something seems off, although I don't doubt your story on the train, I just see some weird things from that ladies commentary that don't look consistent with survivor records. There were only three girls who survived at an age close to 12, none were first class, and their home destinations were MI, OR, and VT. The survivors I'm talking about are Miss Ruth Elizabeth Becker (born 1899 but was 12 at the time), Miss Bertha J Watt (born 1899, also 12 at the time), and Miss Madeleine Violet Mellinger (born 1898 and 13 at the time). The only girl born 1900 on the Titanic (who was 11 at the time) was a third class passenger and didn't survive the sinking (Miss Sigrid Elisabeth Andersson). Of those three girls who survived, the one that had the most expensive fare was Miss Ruth Becker, whose ticket was 39 Pounds, stayed in cabin F4, and was recovered from boat 13. But she was from Benton Harbour, MI and not Boston. Additionally, being one of the last Titanic survivors alive, she was well known and so her face would be very hard to confuse if you look her up online. Is there a possibility that that lady on the train may not have been completely truthful?
@@DavidGreen34 I think Wes's story is true based on the information you researched. If Wes was only age 6 on the train, then the finer details of the story were probably relayed back to him at a much older age. So we are talking about a 70ish year old lady whose memory is not exactly perfect, or perhaps his parents gave a second telling of the story from what they remember hearing a decade earlier from their elderly parent... I've seen many an oral history be quite inaccurate because they lose something of the original at each retelling and people fill in the finer details on their own, but the gist of the story remains true. I was raised on a farm and so on my mom's side of the family, I got to meet my great grandparents that survived into my teen years due to them getting a healthy dose of exercise, homegrown food, and clean living as farmers and ranchers, and every time we would have a family gathering they were relaying oral histories going back many decades and even the great grandparents and the grandparents would argue over the finer details but agreed on the major ones, i.e., nobody disputed the story about the time the great grandmas kitchen was coated in 2 inches of dust during the dustbowl days and the whole farm was buried in snowdrift sized piles of the stuff....or the tornado that picked up the whole house and moved it off it's foundation. Secondly, If the train was from Louisiana to Illinois, the MI lady might have been the subject of the story. Third, Wes's grandmother may have just assumed the survivors birthyear was the same if they were both 64 in 1964 but as your research shows, the actual birth year can be off by one. (Besides, speaking from experience, it's also possible the old survivor lady was off by one year on her actual certificated birthdate, you'd be surprised how many 100 year old birth records in our family are just plain wrong and several people had different recollections as to which year great grandma so and so was born and never matched the birth certificate, and so people went around telling people their wrong age all the time.) Also, families, wealthy or not, spread all over the USA over time, the children and grandchildren don't just stay in one city forever and ever, and often families refer to where their parents or grandparents or whomever was originally settled in the US as "my family is from...", and if you're going back to your grandparents, then you have 4 different individuals with up to 4 different cities of origin. So you could research each of the three 12 year old survivors of the Titanic to see if any of their multiple family trees can be traced back to Boston. I would maybe expand the age range a little more too, like 10 to 14.
I am in my mid 40s, and I find I do not remember what my age was when certain events happened in my life, but I do remember what grade I was in! From that I can do the math and figure out what age I was. There is also the story of Violet Jessop, who survived the sinking of both Titanic and Britannic. She described seeing the moon during Titanic's sinking. The author who published her memoirs commented that Jessop was certainly mistaken, as it was a moonless night when Titanic sank. The point is, along what Mark is saying, details gets lost, and often misremembered. Human memory is fraught with error, and memories are often memories of memories. This is something has is abundantly clearer as I get older, and gain more life experience.
@@maubunky1 Back then it was quite typical to simply have a birth record written into a large family bible. My dad was born in 1930, at their farm, and the the only "official record" of his birth, was in the large family bible.
If I had Elon musk money I’d build a duplicate identical ship of it have it parked at a port like the Queen Mary and let ppl rent the rooms out and everyone gets 1st class treatment including the lower end rooms. However that’ll never happen I’m sure. Wishful thinking.
It's very well done. Check the ENCYCLOPEDIA TITANICA for all the details. I went to see the Titanic Exibition when it arrived in Oslo, Norway. That was a chilling experience. Watching all those artefacts made me extremely sad.
I used to have a recurring dream as a child, where I was in what I thought was a dining room, or restaurant that was completely flooded, waist high at least water, and I was trying to get to stairs to get out, but the lights went out, there was a boom and I would wake up. Wasn't until adulthood that I found out what I thought was a dining room, was the D deck reception room of the titanic. At least it heavily, heavily resembled it. I hadn't even heard of titanic when I was a kid. Didn't really hear about it until the movie came out in 1997. I freaked my mom out when we were watching something about it that was on at the time, and they showed pictures and I was like "ma, that's the restaurant from the dream I had as a kid." Tldr might have died in the d deck reception room in a past life, right after the lights went out.
@@herrbonk3635 that and the fact that we raped a lot of forests and depleted a ton of unique woods. The mahogany in the smoking lounge walls alone today would be worth millions.
@@herrbonk3635 Actually plastic was used on the railings on the Titanic not featured here in this video. Plastic was new back then and was considered rather chic so the builders incorporated it into the design of the ship albeit limited to the railings. Plastic was actually very expensive then as with any new technology the production was @ its infancy so there was never enough supply to meet demand pushing up the cost.
@@westnblu Plastic at that time had a totally different feel. Just compare old electrical sockets, switches, telephones, etc of bakelite or similar early plastics to current products. Long chains of hydrocarbon is/are not the problem, in itself. That chemistry exists in natural materials too.
@@herrbonk3635 tru but when u study history its important to take things in their proper historic perspective and not judge past events by todays standards. Plastic today has a bad reputation its bad for the environment and people frown on it. Back then it really was considered chic and i can imagine trendy haha.
@@Dan-hq2js Right... and why exactly is that the case? You sound pretty stupid when you say things like that. 😂 Titanic wasn't a cruise ship. And cruise ship's aren't ocean liners like the Titanic. They cannot be compared.
@@reinerbraun670 exactly rainier, I think it's fine to compare something that sails from point a to b or even a cruise that may stop off in multiple places, or simply an out and back point a to point a. Since its more or less the closest thing we have. If people don't share that opinion that's fine doesn't make them wrong nor stupid, don't know what's going on with folk these days. I'm lucky to live less than 70 miles from the swan hotel, with one of Olympics rooms with mirrors, lights doors, and some of the staircase, it's stunning craftsmanship.
@@ToaAntan The Titanic had two grand staircases, and the one at 18:27 is the aft staircase. It had a less ornate clock that looked exactly like that. The other grand staircase's clock isn't accessible in this demo yet, it blocks you from going all the way up.
@@jtw.111 I was aware of the aft grand staircase, I became disoriented by the way the walkthrough footage is cut and thought he'd gone to the forward staircase.
In an era where elegance and craftsmanship went into everything...absolutely magnificent. There is nothing that compares to it in our time, very unfortunate. I felt like I was actually walking inside in awe. The attention to detail is amazing. I can only imagine the excitement in all classes being aboard that vessel and the clothing and goods they had with them. Incredible recreation!!! God bless those poor innocent souls that perished on that dreadful occasion. Thank you for doing this
It’s seriously incredible to me how beautiful the inside of these ships were, they were seriously class on another level, it’s a terrible shame the Olympic was scrapped, it would have been very cool to have it turned into a hotel as some proposed at the time and it would have been a great preservation of history
i guess at the time it was just considered any old ship at the time, same with many of the huge ones today no one really thinks much of them no matter how big and amazing they are
The Olympic carved oak paneling was indeed saved and purchased by the Owners of the Swan Hotel in the UK. You can see it on TH-cam. Look it up. The fireplaces and all, stained glass windows. This same wood paneling was on the Titanic and Britannic.
the fact that this is only like 6% of the ship and it took 22 minutes to tour this small part of the ship is crazy… imagine when they get done with the whole thing… I literally support these devs I can’t wait for the full release!
@ko7577 The demo is free. They're like less than 5 people and this is a side project. They do it out of passion. The only money they get are donations. It isn't even a "game". Just a virtual interactive walkthrough, there is no "gameplay". Take your meds and chill out.
Apart from all those victims of this great tragedy, which is of course the worst of all, I cannot help but feel a loss of all that lovely workmanship throughout this vessel, and think that as she sank in the north Atlantic, the very thought she would be taking with her, all that splendour ! The Titanic really did have the best of everything available at that time, From Steinway pianos, to the best champagne wines & spirits on the planet, A tragedy that should never have happened, and one surely, never to be matched, in the enormity of its reach !! I cannot help but admire all that time effort, and shear dogged determination of the white star line to create such a work of art, Because to me, she was just that, and much more.
A beautiful liner, but the notion of her being so unique is a myth that has grown over the years. In fact, she was but one of three identical ships built from the same model. One of the three, the Britannic, was lost in WWI, while the first of the trio, the Olympic, carried passengers on the transatlantic run for decades, until being retired and scrapped in the 1930s.
As an environment artist myself, I can tell you this took someone a hell of a lot of work to do. Loved the aesthetics to these ships and the craftsmanship gone wild on their interior designs. I only got to sail on an ore freighter but that made me fall in love with these massive vessels. I wish there was one of these Olympic class liners still in service, as something real to still experience. Disasters and movies aside, there's just a mystique about them that's hard to place.
Maybe someday Titanic II will be launched. It would have the same decorative features with modern tech. Too bad it continues to be delayed instead of of being sold to interested investors.
It'd be amazing to get a VR edition of Titanic. How cool would it be to approach the vessel from a port, and just look up and get a sense of the sheer scale of her size. Then board and he able to enjoy these types of scenes (within this video) as you roam around the ship. Would be so cool
Reminds me of the early video "games" called Myst and Riven, both early "virtual reality" type. I think it was Broderbund or similar name of the authors.
I prefer this type of style more than modern cruise ships. Don’t get my wrong, our cruise ships today are absolutely stunning. But there’s something about this you can’t recreate with modern stuff
That's y is ma favorite and best ship then any ⚪️ ones with that hammer head shark looking smoke stack. Also too bad of shame they randomly canceled titanic 2 for whatever reason. Didn't feel like building her perhaps.
Absolutely gorgeous interior it makes me so very sad the Titanic is now sitting on the bottom of the north Atlantic rusting away to nothing. I always loved the Titanic she will always be in remembered for being the grandest ship for it's time period 1912.
But in some form, it still exists, even remote and decayed. Had it survived the iceberg, it would in all probability been sent to the breakers sometime in the mid 1930s, and now not exist at all.
@@mickdawson8422 Nope. The Britannic was the best of the three. On Titanic, most first-class passengers had to share communal bathrooms. Britannic would've been one of the first passenger ships to provide all her first-class passengers with private bathrooms had she not sunk before she began passenger duty. Titanic really wasn't up to anything near the standard that a modern cruise ship passenger would expect and neither was Olympic. Good though they may have been back in the day, they're rather overhyped now.
@@quentinbrand2157 True - every large-scale modern cruise ship is much bigger and more luxurious (not to mention safer) than any ship of the Titanic's time. But none of them have the decor of the Edwardian period, which so evokes the glorious long-ago era of the "Gilded Age." I think that's a lot of what makes the Titanic so special in most people's minds.
Being someone who has always loved the Titanic and known so much about it, I didn’t actually know that they were setting up the first class dining saloon when she collided with the iceberg... That’s very sad. They had no idea that tomorrow wouldn’t come.
Yeah..never thought of that. I guess it makes sense. Clean up after dinner and then set up for the next day. I imagine set up would take a while since everything had to be perfect.
Tomorrow did come. In fact the ship was still sinking when the next day came. Just some people didn't know tomorrow would be the last day of their lives. I think that's what you meant.
Alex Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for clarifying. I know the ship was sinking until around 2:20 AM, April 15, 1912. Tomorrow didn’t come for the ship and for many of those people.
Reminds of on 9/11 the staff of the Windows on the World restaurant were setting the tables for an executive breakfast meeting that morning when the plane struck. All the restaurant staff died that day.
I love seeing these virtual tours of titanic because they are nicely done and they make me feel as if I traveled back in time and am on the ship herself. I love the music being used btw.
Yes, it's much more comfortable and beautiful. The first class dining room, as noble as it is, still seems a large hall for the masses (it contained about 500 seats). Also, the columns in the mid of some round tables disturb the vision and conversation amongst the guests sitting at those tables. In contrast, the A la carte restaurant with is warm colours (mostly red) creates a much more private and pleasant atmosphere.
All three restaurants onboard were run by the famous restaurateur Signore Gatti. The Á la Carte restaurant was extremely expensive. You had to pay up in advance for the whole journey. But then you could have all your meals there. (If you managed to bag a table, that is...) The First Class Dining Saloon meals were included in the ticket. Wich was £26 from Southampton to New York.
This is absolutely beautiful to see and incredibly crafted, though I have to say the crew member popping up in the window at 11:47 nearly gave me a heart attack hahahaha
Just looking at the whole infrastructure, the planning involved in such a huge ship at the time, must have been a colossal undertaking, Of course now, we take such things for granted,But I look at the the Boiler rooms, the engines,The miles of corridors,the decorative craftsmanship,the furniture, Its amazing how they can get so much into something ( that when you look at it from its early stages) you would think impossible, Its like a small town, only it floats on water ! I'm in awe of such marvels made by man ! Especially this Legend.
@@NPK476 well that's the thing it's quite interesting but it does happen.. my own theory is that it has to do with reincarnation.. i have a similar thing with old music of the same time.. i've never heard any of those songs but they still make me feel nostalgic.. like i'm listening to something i have heard before but i cannot remember when or where. it's like your soul knows it but your brain does not.
@@litchtheshinigami8936 Lol, stop it. You sound like one of those ppl trying to sound deep and poetic with the thoughts of the essence of time and what it is and the possibility of experiencing something you’ve never experienced before, but maybe from a past life while listening to...Enya: Storms in Africa.
Harland and Wolff were masters at what they were doing! The best ship builders in the whole world, the amount of manhours that went into creating such a floating masterpiece is marvelous!
@@geoffmcrorie90 For the time? It was the safest ship you could be on my guy, yes, she was a true masterpiece, she had many safety features other liners lacked, maby you should do some research, there was a reason why the bulkheads didn't extend that high. Did you know that Harland & Wolff still existed a couple of years ago? If they would've made horrible ships, they would've went out of business a loooong time ago don't you think? So yes, they were the best at the time that the world had. To design and build such marvelous floating wonders way back in the day without any form of computers was truly amazing. So were their ships masterpieces? Heck yeah!
I went to a travelling exhibit in 2002. They had a chunk of the ship's hull as part of their gallery. I got to touch the thing and let's just say the experience is one I'll never forget. I was last in the tour group. Given that I am functionally blind, the guide held me back and basically walked me through by himself at the main tour's end. That's when he said "Lean over, but don't touch the trip wire. Now, reach out. Forward." Odd how rough, dry, slightly flaking metal could move me to tears at the time....
I had a similar experience with HMS Hood's bell at Portsmouth a couple of years back. A feeling that you are reaching out and touching a piece of legend- something which has lain, effectively, on the dark side of the moon for so long, and is suddenly tangible once more. It truely does send shivers down the spine.
Breathtaking. The textures and varied lightening is so key. With all the virtual tours, recreations, and movies, I so feel like I was actually on the Titanic! There's much bigger ships today, but none can compare to the steamships of this era. There's was a palatial elegance. A Grandeur that's gone with today's modernistic and rather kitschy cruise ship interiors.
What an incredible walk-through of the great ship. Thanks and respect to those involved. The attention to detail is stunning. I turned my headphone volume down and imagined hearing my footsteps as I moved around, eavesdropping on the conversations of some of the First Class passengers and smelling lingering food smells in the Dining Room. Very evocative. To think that all that finery would end up at the bottom of the Atlantic ....... The world still grieves for Titanic and still mourns for 1500 souls.
This ship was ahead of its time in so many ways . . . I love the grand staircases . . . one could be seen making quite an entrance coming down those . . . just magnificent . . .
Absolutely, unbelievably, fantastic work of art. To a novice like me, this video borders on magic! Many thanks to the developers for their wonderful creation!
As a huge fan of Titanic and the tragic story surrounding it, this was so beautiful to feel like I was getting a guided tour of one of the most famous ships in history. Even 3rd class dining areas looked good. I agree with another comment on here. Such a shame they didn't turn Olympic into a floating hotel. It would have been wonderful to stay on it, especially if they did it as a themed hotel
Not only the ship as a machine is impressive, also the beatuful craftmanship of the whole interior. That carpentry, plumbing, carved wood, marble bars, carpets, just everything. I ask myself how they planned and developed and finally coordinated the construction of the whole thing, including all the interior and appliances and beds and just every little detail
@@charlottejamieson5623 My house was built in 1900. 12 years before the Titanic sank. That boggles my mind. My dad was a carpenter, We built many houses. Nothing like the size and the scope of the Titanic. lol. What side of the pond are you on? curious. Not many U.S. women care about history anymore. If ever. That's why I ask. It's a rare virtue.
Thank you for making this! I always wondered what's it's like inside. The attention to details is exquisite. There's so much elegance and class to it. The scale of the ship is astonishing considering it was built before computers were available to help with 3D modelling, remarkable feat of engineering.
The rendering is fantastic. You get an intimate feel of actually being there, of space and size, more than any plan could achieve. The texture of light on surface and the detail of light and shadow is incredibly realistic. The attention to detail is mind boggling.
I especially enjoyed that the "walker" literally grazes the palm at 2:37, and passes the wooden carved eggs on E deck at 4:20, shortly before entering Scotland Road.
Beautiful… It feels like only yesterday watching documentaries about the centenary of its sinking.. & now another 10 years has passed, and we’re about to hit 110 years since she sank. We are all here for only a short time.. In memory of all those lives cut short, including this elegant ship.
That was pretty damn amazing. That looked so real. I watched in VR mode. Now do an underwater exploration of the ship. That would be eerie but beautiful at the same time.
Stunning video. Beautifully made. The more I watch videos about the Titanic the more I become enchanted about the story. I feel for the people who lost their lives. People are people. Heart breaking. Thank you for such a beautiful masterpiece of a video. It leaves me speechless. The background music really adds a tone from the era. Please make more videos. Thank you.
I love the fact that it went into the boiler room and Thomas Andrews’ cabin. How neat! I always hope that if there’s an afterlife Titanic will be there
i was once aboard this beautiful ship.. in a life unknown.. that ended that night.. when she held me tight to her bosom.. as she sunk into the dark abyss.. now all that i have of her.. is the timeless memory.. that takes me back to her each time i close my eyes.. and remember the fresh paint on her walls and the bustle on her decks.. the jets of smoke.. expelled by her smoke stacks.. and the whirring sound of her propellers... the shiny cutlery and their gentle clanking blended with the chatter in the dining rooms, beautiful music played in the background, the grave chats in the smoking rooms, and the banters at the cafes.. all gone now, laid down on the ocean floor.. of the vast Atlantic ocean, where she lies awaiting her end.. as she slowly dissolves into dust and water.. -- V
Unbelievable recreation of the Grand old Lady. The amount of work and research that went into this virtual tour is staggering! It's as real as it gets! Imagine the amount of man hours that went into the creation of this vessel in real life. One day there may be an interactive walk-through that enables the viewer to explore the ship as they wish.
No joke! Every single time I see footage of the interior of this ship I have this strange feeling of dejavu! As if I have been on this ship and seen all this before. Maybe a dream? I don't know. When I was young and hearing about the story of the Titanic I use to get shivers feeling so familiar with it some how. This is true! Even watching the film that came out with Leonardo DiCaprio gave me such an odd feeling as if I have been on the ship experiencing all that happened hitting the iceberg and the ship flooding with water and sinking. I know how crazy this may sound to everyone. I can't shake this feeling away. It's been with me practically all my life now even up to now. It all feels so familiar to me especially the outer decks of the ship.
She was a beauty indeed. All the liners of today dont have the elegance and beauty like the Titanic. She was a work of art indeed. Really enjoyed your video. Im a big Titanic nerd. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So very well thought out. Thank you for the hard work it had to be in creating this. At the same, it has to be so very sad that all of this and the people on board suffered such a terrible fate after five days of being in service. The hard work by all the iron workers, artisans in wood working, machinery builders, electricians, etc. All gone in less than a week.
Aside from the terrible loss of innocent lives, what a loss too of such a beautiful ship. The woodwork, carpeting, furniture, beautiful lighting, all lost on her maiden voyage, all because of plain stupidity, there were plenty of warnings that went out, and were ignored. A collection of mistakes that followed. Such a sad story, one that has lasted through the ages. May they rest in peace, their unfulfilled dreams of a better future that followed them. Thank-you for this video.
Yes, but with no reduction in speed. Still absolutely foolish. They knew then too how much of an iceberg was below the water surface. They just believed this ship was unsinkable.
@@maryannszedetzki5669 Visibility was still in their favor, with Smith being more than willing to slow down if this changed. He specifically stated to 2nd officer Charles Lightoller before turning in for the night that if a haze arose or if it "became at all doubtful" that they "should have to go very slowly".
A lot of the saloon rooms and promenades made me think of me sitting on my grandmother's porch as a kid. That was one old but beautiful ship to see it recreated like that.
In summer of 1984 I met a little elderly German lady in the restroom of Luby's restaurant on Bay Area Blvd., in Webster, TX., at Baybrook Mall near I-45 (Gulf Freeway). I had my 4 year-old daughter, Jane with me. My daughter and I were washing our hands. I had studied German for about 10 yrs and detected the elderly lady's solid German accent as she and her grown granddaughter washed theirs. So in German, I introduced myself and my daughter who I was beginning to teach German to! I told her my daughter was learning also and asked my daughter Jane (in English), what parts of the face were in German, and she told the elderly lady in German Die Augen, Das Gesicht etc. The lady introduced herself as Mrs. Robinson and said she lived in Blanco, Texas. She told me she was 12 yrs old and on board the Carpathia, on way to the United States when they received the call about the Titanic. Mrs. Robinson said they picked up the survivors from the Titanic in the Life boats. She settled in Blanco, TX years later and married an American and began her family there. Was so interesting to hear her tale of that event!
Am I the only one that at 18:24 recreated the last scene of the movie where Rose is dead and walks up the stairs where all of the souls on the Titanic were gathering and Jack is waiting for her at the top of the staircase? That scene always kills me cause the fact that he was the love of her life and only got to be together for 2 days is incredibly tragic. On topic: what a great VR tour! Feels so real.
technically, that’s not the “Grand Staircase” there were actually two 1st class staircases. The main one that went from E deck to the Boat Deck (aka, the “Grand Staircase”), and the “Aft Staircase” which was a bit farther back and only went from C deck to A deck. It was slightly smaller, and more modest.
@@goldfing5995 the “Famous” clock (with the Honor & Glory carving) is on the main forward staircase. The aft one looked exactly like it does in this video.
@@goldfing5995 the width gives it away. The Grand Staircase ran the width of the ship until D deck, then it became narrower from E deck down, into 2nd class. The Aft GS wasn't as wide after the first couple decks and the rotunda was either smaller or omitted (I can't recall at the moment if it had one) but in the final scene of the film you can see how big the main GS is by the amount of people behind the banister on Boat Deck level. (Look for JJ Astor, you'll see just how many people are there with him)
Beautiful video of what she looked like. I always think back to the decision in 1935 to decommission the Olympic, her sister ship, and scrap everything and sell all the insides. It's a shame. 23 years after the Titanic went down you would think somebody would have thought that they should preserve the Olympic. It was more or less an exact replica of the Titanic. They could have made much more money allowing people to tour that ship for decades. All they would have had to do is use the proceeds from the tours to preserve it.
I visited the RMS Queen Mary ship berthed in Long Beach CA in the early 1980's with my family when I was a teenager. I haven't though much about it until I saw this virtual tour of the Titantic. While the sister ship RMS Olympic could have been used as a floating hotel, for conferences and as a venue and such, it might have run into the same financial troubles for repairs that are currently plaguing the Queen Mary. Check out different online news sites regarding the RMS Queen Mary.
"Олимпик" могли бы просто вытащить на сушу и сделать из него сухопутный отель, и сдавать номера всем желающим, которых оказалось бы не мало. И таким образом, сохранить его для истории и как образец искусства начала 20-го века. 16.06.24.
I wasn't aware of the walkway named Scotland Road (Scotty Road as we call it here in Liverpool), being named after it. Scotty road is one of the most famed roads within our city. So many Irish and other countries immigrants lived along side it.
This is a great video, really interesting seeing what the interior of the Titanic would have looked like, the grand stairway must have been beautiful. And the music chosen for this video is absolutely beautiful, but haunting, totally appropriate for this ship that has such a tragic background, the music makes you feel awed at the elaborate designs of the Titanic's interior, but really makes you feel for the people that lost their lives in this horrible moment in history, at the same time :( The bit with the boiler, though, and the narrow, lower deck passages, that just makes my stomach twist, thinking about what it would have been like in there when those areas were flooding, especially for the boiler crew who stood by their posts no matter what, to try to keep the Titanic afloat as much as possible, I feel claustrophobic just looking at it, it's so tight in there :o
Words aren’t enough to describe how fantastic was titanic and this wonderful work, congratulations and thank you so much for the best video about this i ever found!
Oh my God, dit was echt zo ongelooflijk en fantastisch om te zien! Dit is een droom die uitkomt om de Titanic van binnen te zien! 10000x dank mijn lieve lieve man, WR! Hiermee heb je een droom van mij uit laten komen. Ik je wel 10000 kusjes geven uit dank. Ik hou zooo ongelooflijk veel van jou!! 100000 dank mijn schat!
Ive been watching Titanic Honor and Glorys progress for about 5 years. I really hope the whole game is done someday, honestly I don't give a fuck about the gameplay. I just want to see the Titanic as it would have appeared in 1912 in all of its glory. Ive been obsessed with the Titanic since about 1994. If the entire ship is explorable with every detail exactly as it would have appeared than Id pay like 500 bucks just for that.
@13:58 To the right is Isidor & Ida Strauss' room. I live in NYC, a few blocks away from Strauss Park, a small park in the Upper West Side. It was dedicated to them. I love spending time there.
Extraordinary virtual tour. Thank you for this video. I do wish, however, that it stayed on the signs a bit longer so we could read them---also for us to see the different classes' cabins. Otherwise, it was glorious. All I could think of was, in addition to the horrific loss of life---was the staggering financial loss for the White Star Line. I hope the Titanic was heavily insured.
An endearing story that will live for eternity. The sea can be very unforgiving when an emergency strikes. May god bless the souls of all that were lost at sea and calm the dreams of the survivors that surely come in the night.
i am still amazed at how beautiful she was. I know todays cruise liners are a lot bigger, but she was just something else, so elegant and strong. it's a shame she went down that way and took with her all those poor souls.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. Great job getting such detail into a simulation. Really makes one appreciate just how amazing such a ship truly was, especially for its time, and even compared to today.
A wonderful experience, helps you to capture the feel of what it was like aboard this amazing vessel. Thanks for posting. Twenty two minutes well spent.
"Titanic Honor and Glory" has done a spectacular job recreating these spaces. This is an early prototype. They produce another YT channel called "Titanic University" which is a great place for beginners. The face that suddenly pops up in the door porthole is a nod to a 1990s Titanic game called "Titanic, Adventure out of Time". This was the ship's purser and you run into him throughout the game for clues. It was pretty advanced for the 90s with a nice musical score.
LD Davis I remember that Game, I played it on my old desktop in the mid 90's.. Most of the games required serious hardware, video card with lots of video memory, good solid drivers, even Star Trek Deep Space Nine's "The Fallen" Required serious graphics cards.. When you're on a budget, can't play the game like it was meant to be.. lol I was too busy living check to check.. I even used to play LHX helicopter attack game.. ;) Sweet times.. To Retire in the 90's with a nicer bigger budget to afford good game machines. :)
incredibly rendered and fully immersive experience. I must say, without wishing to be disrespectful, it was much better than I had anticipated. You really felt you were there. The only slight criticism is that too much time is spent in the same areas, whereas it would've been nice to have seen more of the outside decks, and the bow. Slight irony too how they have recreated something so spectacularly using computing power, yet the ship was designed by hand! Really hits home what an unbelievable task this would be...
Whoever made this did such a beautiful job. Can't wait to see if it is expanded upon at some point. there is so much more to explore on this beautiful ship.
Wow she was beautiful! Such a stunning ship I would of loved to have been on! Standing on the deck with the ocean breeze watching the ocean go by ❤️ Music is perfect for the video too! RIP all the souls who died on that night ❤️
Amazing and excellent. Had I been on the ship, surely I would have believed it was unsinkable. Its so solid and serious. It looks that way because of one more thing to pity, the craftsmen who toiled themselves bloody to carve the wood. What must they have thought later? Its true that the unnecessary loss of life has worked to keep Titanic alive. Ive followed this for 60 years and still astonished.
This was truly amazing to watch, how the upper class lived whilst on the Titanic, and then to show 2nd and 3rd class too, I didn't expect that, but thankyou for uploading this. 🙂
My German Grandmother was invited as a guest of the Straus's who owned Macy's to join them on the maiden voyage. She declined saying she'd be across the Atlantic enough times. They went down with the ship and my grandmother lived and I am here to tell the story.
Wow 😳
Wow
My Italian grandfather was invited as a guest of J.J. Astor & his wife to join them in a 3-way on the maiden voyage. He declined saying he had caught VD enough times. They went down with the ship but my grandfather lived and I am here to tell the story
Would love to hear her story
Granny probably gave an extra mean gluck gluck 9000 back in the day if she was getting invited on the Titanic for it's maiden cruise across the Atlantic by the dude who owned Macy's
Imagine seeing this beautiful ship in person... everything to the staircase to the dining. Seeing the sun shining through the windows.
Shame they never built another one like it.
What if a survivor would have seen this simulation 😔
@@aditipant249 I'm sure all a survived passenger had to do was close their eyes 🥺
It must have been a memory that lived in there minds eye for all their life.. such sad trauma
They're bulding a Titanic 2, will be ready next year, it said should be the same, i would love to go on a cruiser, if it's really the same,
@@georgiannapofferi611 it’s not happening anymore
I actually met a Titanic survivor in 1964 when I was 6. My grandmother took me on a passenger train from Louisiana to Chicago. En route my grandmother met a lady her same age ( both were born in 1900). This lady was on the Titanic with her parents when she was 12 years old. I remember the lady spoke of the event matter of factly and didn't seem to be uncomfortable talking about it. I can't remember if her parents survived and I can't remember her name, but I do recall she and my grandmother were both from well to do families from Boston who lost all their wealth in the Depression of the 1930s.
To be honest I'm not surprised she wasn't too uncomfortable talking about. 12 year old female who (judging from your description) travelled first class. Very likely she was lucky and got off the ship before the true severity of the situation had well and true sunk in (no pun intended) with the majority of the passengers.
Hmm, something seems off, although I don't doubt your story on the train, I just see some weird things from that ladies commentary that don't look consistent with survivor records. There were only three girls who survived at an age close to 12, none were first class, and their home destinations were MI, OR, and VT. The survivors I'm talking about are Miss Ruth Elizabeth Becker (born 1899 but was 12 at the time), Miss Bertha J Watt (born 1899, also 12 at the time), and Miss Madeleine Violet Mellinger (born 1898 and 13 at the time). The only girl born 1900 on the Titanic (who was 11 at the time) was a third class passenger and didn't survive the sinking (Miss Sigrid Elisabeth Andersson).
Of those three girls who survived, the one that had the most expensive fare was Miss Ruth Becker, whose ticket was 39 Pounds, stayed in cabin F4, and was recovered from boat 13. But she was from Benton Harbour, MI and not Boston. Additionally, being one of the last Titanic survivors alive, she was well known and so her face would be very hard to confuse if you look her up online.
Is there a possibility that that lady on the train may not have been completely truthful?
@@DavidGreen34 I think Wes's story is true based on the information you researched. If Wes was only age 6 on the train, then the finer details of the story were probably relayed back to him at a much older age. So we are talking about a 70ish year old lady whose memory is not exactly perfect, or perhaps his parents gave a second telling of the story from what they remember hearing a decade earlier from their elderly parent... I've seen many an oral history be quite inaccurate because they lose something of the original at each retelling and people fill in the finer details on their own, but the gist of the story remains true. I was raised on a farm and so on my mom's side of the family, I got to meet my great grandparents that survived into my teen years due to them getting a healthy dose of exercise, homegrown food, and clean living as farmers and ranchers, and every time we would have a family gathering they were relaying oral histories going back many decades and even the great grandparents and the grandparents would argue over the finer details but agreed on the major ones, i.e., nobody disputed the story about the time the great grandmas kitchen was coated in 2 inches of dust during the dustbowl days and the whole farm was buried in snowdrift sized piles of the stuff....or the tornado that picked up the whole house and moved it off it's foundation. Secondly, If the train was from Louisiana to Illinois, the MI lady might have been the subject of the story. Third, Wes's grandmother may have just assumed the survivors birthyear was the same if they were both 64 in 1964 but as your research shows, the actual birth year can be off by one. (Besides, speaking from experience, it's also possible the old survivor lady was off by one year on her actual certificated birthdate, you'd be surprised how many 100 year old birth records in our family are just plain wrong and several people had different recollections as to which year great grandma so and so was born and never matched the birth certificate, and so people went around telling people their wrong age all the time.) Also, families, wealthy or not, spread all over the USA over time, the children and grandchildren don't just stay in one city forever and ever, and often families refer to where their parents or grandparents or whomever was originally settled in the US as "my family is from...", and if you're going back to your grandparents, then you have 4 different individuals with up to 4 different cities of origin. So you could research each of the three 12 year old survivors of the Titanic to see if any of their multiple family trees can be traced back to Boston. I would maybe expand the age range a little more too, like 10 to 14.
I am in my mid 40s, and I find I do not remember what my age was when certain events happened in my life, but I do remember what grade I was in! From that I can do the math and figure out what age I was. There is also the story of Violet Jessop, who survived the sinking of both Titanic and Britannic. She described seeing the moon during Titanic's sinking. The author who published her memoirs commented that Jessop was certainly mistaken, as it was a moonless night when Titanic sank.
The point is, along what Mark is saying, details gets lost, and often misremembered. Human memory is fraught with error, and memories are often memories of memories. This is something has is abundantly clearer as I get older, and gain more life experience.
@@maubunky1 Back then it was quite typical to simply have a birth record written into a large family bible. My dad was born in 1930, at their farm, and the the only "official record" of his birth, was in the large family bible.
This has to be one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen ever re-created on a digital screen
It’s currently the most authentic recreation of any historical subject ever made, physical or digital. :)
If I had Elon musk money I’d build a duplicate identical ship of it have it parked at a port like the Queen Mary and let ppl rent the rooms out and everyone gets 1st class treatment including the lower end rooms. However that’ll never happen I’m sure. Wishful thinking.
@@johndough2328 that’s already happening in China
@@DerpyPossum lmfao The Titanic, Made in China...lol I should of guessed
It's very well done. Check the ENCYCLOPEDIA TITANICA for all the details.
I went to see the Titanic Exibition when it arrived in Oslo, Norway.
That was a chilling experience.
Watching all those artefacts made me extremely sad.
Just the thought of being trapped inside after lights go out, as it fills up with ocean water is terrifying!
Well with a name like yours you could have joined the band that kept playing until the water hit their feet!
I used to have a recurring dream as a child, where I was in what I thought was a dining room, or restaurant that was completely flooded, waist high at least water, and I was trying to get to stairs to get out, but the lights went out, there was a boom and I would wake up.
Wasn't until adulthood that I found out what I thought was a dining room, was the D deck reception room of the titanic. At least it heavily, heavily resembled it.
I hadn't even heard of titanic when I was a kid. Didn't really hear about it until the movie came out in 1997. I freaked my mom out when we were watching something about it that was on at the time, and they showed pictures and I was like "ma, that's the restaurant from the dream I had as a kid."
Tldr might have died in the d deck reception room in a past life, right after the lights went out.
@@squirleyspitmonkey3926 At the point in our dreams when we die, that's when we wake up, relieved, saying, "It was just a bad dream."

This ship is absolutely gorgeous. You never see this style of architecture in cruise liners nowadays.
But still decades after Titanic! Up until the 1960s in many cases. After that, the plastic and aluminium look and feel took over.
@@herrbonk3635 that and the fact that we raped a lot of forests and depleted a ton of unique woods. The mahogany in the smoking lounge walls alone today would be worth millions.
@@herrbonk3635 Actually plastic was used on the railings on the Titanic not featured here in this video. Plastic was new back then and was considered rather chic so the builders incorporated it into the design of the ship albeit limited to the railings. Plastic was actually very expensive then as with any new technology the production was @ its infancy so there was never enough supply to meet demand pushing up the cost.
@@westnblu Plastic at that time had a totally different feel. Just compare old electrical sockets, switches, telephones, etc of bakelite or similar early plastics to current products. Long chains of hydrocarbon is/are not the problem, in itself. That chemistry exists in natural materials too.
@@herrbonk3635 tru but when u study history its important to take things in their proper historic perspective and not judge past events by todays standards.
Plastic today has a bad reputation its bad for the environment and people frown on it. Back then it really was considered chic and i can imagine trendy haha.
My God, even in today's standards, it's still a very big and elegantly crafted ship.
Not very big for today's standards, but elegant for sure.
@@Dan-hq2js Right... and why exactly is that the case? You sound pretty stupid when you say things like that. 😂 Titanic wasn't a cruise ship. And cruise ship's aren't ocean liners like the Titanic. They cannot be compared.
@@Dan-hq2js Cruise ships aren't meant to take you from "A to B." That is the ocean liner's job. The cruise ship is purely for entertainment.
@@Dan-hq2js Aerofiles is pretty rude calling you stupid. Don't have to be rude when there's a debate.
@@reinerbraun670 exactly rainier, I think it's fine to compare something that sails from point a to b or even a cruise that may stop off in multiple places, or simply an out and back point a to point a. Since its more or less the closest thing we have. If people don't share that opinion that's fine doesn't make them wrong nor stupid, don't know what's going on with folk these days.
I'm lucky to live less than 70 miles from the swan hotel, with one of Olympics rooms with mirrors, lights doors, and some of the staircase, it's stunning craftsmanship.
The graphics and attention to detail are phenomenal. Absolutely beautiful.
Missing the bridge
Hey girl
I thought that until I saw the clock at the top of the Grand Staircase..not even an attempt at Honour and Glory Crowning Time carvings.
@@ToaAntan The Titanic had two grand staircases, and the one at 18:27 is the aft staircase. It had a less ornate clock that looked exactly like that. The other grand staircase's clock isn't accessible in this demo yet, it blocks you from going all the way up.
@@jtw.111 I was aware of the aft grand staircase, I became disoriented by the way the walkthrough footage is cut and thought he'd gone to the forward staircase.
In an era where elegance and craftsmanship went into everything...absolutely magnificent. There is nothing that compares to it in our time, very unfortunate.
I felt like I was actually walking inside in awe. The attention to detail is amazing. I can only imagine the excitement in all classes being aboard that vessel and the clothing and goods they had with them. Incredible recreation!!!
God bless those poor innocent souls that perished on that dreadful occasion.
Thank you for doing this
Now, we have lost beauty and the taste for it.
Now cruise ships are just floating bricks
Back then they also payed skilled craftsman poor wages.
It’s seriously incredible to me how beautiful the inside of these ships were, they were seriously class on another level, it’s a terrible shame the Olympic was scrapped, it would have been very cool to have it turned into a hotel as some proposed at the time and it would have been a great preservation of history
i guess at the time it was just considered any old ship at the time, same with many of the huge ones today no one really thinks much of them no matter how big and amazing they are
shutup2 for sure, very unfortunate
hi i am afraid that there was clowning around in 1935 by some, hence the scrapping of the Olympic, its a disgrace
The Olympic carved oak paneling was indeed saved and purchased by the Owners of the Swan Hotel in the UK. You can see it on TH-cam. Look it up. The fireplaces and all, stained glass windows. This same wood paneling was on the Titanic and Britannic.
@@Wanamaker1946 That is great!!
the fact that this is only like 6% of the ship and it took 22 minutes to tour this small part of the ship is crazy… imagine when they get done with the whole thing… I literally support these devs I can’t wait for the full release!
Well it is really so lo mo
Should make a video game like this.
@ko7577 The demo is free. They're like less than 5 people and this is a side project. They do it out of passion. The only money they get are donations. It isn't even a "game". Just a virtual interactive walkthrough, there is no "gameplay". Take your meds and chill out.
Dude right Titanic was massive!!!!!
@ko7577 Tell me you've never developed software without telling me you've never developed software.
Apart from all those victims of this great tragedy, which is of course the worst of all, I cannot help but feel a loss of all that lovely workmanship throughout this vessel, and think that as she sank in the north Atlantic, the very thought she would be taking with her, all that splendour ! The Titanic really did have the best of everything available at that time, From Steinway pianos, to the best champagne wines & spirits on the planet, A tragedy that should never have happened, and one surely, never to be matched, in the enormity of its reach !! I cannot help but admire all that time effort, and shear dogged determination of the white star line to create such a work of art, Because to me, she was just that, and much more.
I'm agree with you,sir.
@@ugolagazzi4246 I'm no sir, But you and me may think the same,
Why not "sir"?
Well said! She was a beautiful ship!
A beautiful liner, but the notion of her being so unique is a myth that has grown over the years. In fact, she was but one of three identical ships built from the same model. One of the three, the Britannic, was lost in WWI, while the first of the trio, the Olympic, carried passengers on the transatlantic run for decades, until being retired and scrapped in the 1930s.
I wish, the following are also included in the tour:
Boat Deck
Gym
Swimming pool
Turkish bath
The bridge
Inside the accommodations of the 3 classes.
Jimmy James Turkish bath is in the demo and you can see into the plunge bath but can’t go in
And the John J. Astor cabin
Same...and I'd also like to see the kitchens.
There is (or was) one YT tour that goes through every part of the ship. Don't know if it's still available.
@@heru-deshet359 Thanks.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry a little while watching this, just so magnificent and tragic at the same time
Now I can see why ismay was depressed after she sunk
I was crying too, mainly because of these giant signs that ruin the whole immersion.
As an environment artist myself, I can tell you this took someone a hell of a lot of work to do. Loved the aesthetics to these ships and the craftsmanship gone wild on their interior designs. I only got to sail on an ore freighter but that made me fall in love with these massive vessels. I wish there was one of these Olympic class liners still in service, as something real to still experience. Disasters and movies aside, there's just a mystique about them that's hard to place.
Maybe someday Titanic II will be launched. It would have the same decorative features with modern tech. Too bad it continues to be delayed instead of of being sold to interested investors.
And this labour of love is being enjoyed by all of us.
China is the last country I’d want building Titanic 2.0 lmao probably a good reason it’s not making anymore progress
@@Nikkk6969 the one theyre building isnt a real ship anyway though, its a building made of concrete and steel surrounded by water.

It'd be amazing to get a VR edition of Titanic. How cool would it be to approach the vessel from a port, and just look up and get a sense of the sheer scale of her size. Then board and he able to enjoy these types of scenes (within this video) as you roam around the ship.
Would be so cool
the demo shown in the video is indeed available for VR.
@@DerpyPossum where, i would like to get a copy.

@ko7577it didn't sink because of it's design though?
Absolutely gorgeous interior it makes me so very sad the Titanic is now sitting on the bottom of the north Atlantic rusting away to nothing. I always loved the Titanic she will always be in remembered for being the grandest ship for it's time period 1912.
no matter how modern and gigantic and luxurious the ships these days are, none of them can beat the charm titanic had, she truly was magical
@@ivy-gi9gg If there was no OLYMPIC, there wouldn't have been a Titanic......in other words, the Olympic was the original and BEST!
But in some form, it still exists, even remote and decayed.
Had it survived the iceberg, it would in all probability been sent to the breakers sometime in the mid 1930s, and now not exist at all.
@@mickdawson8422 Nope. The Britannic was the best of the three. On Titanic, most first-class passengers had to share communal bathrooms. Britannic would've been one of the first passenger ships to provide all her first-class passengers with private bathrooms had she not sunk before she began passenger duty. Titanic really wasn't up to anything near the standard that a modern cruise ship passenger would expect and neither was Olympic. Good though they may have been back in the day, they're rather overhyped now.
@@quentinbrand2157 True - every large-scale modern cruise ship is much bigger and more luxurious (not to mention safer) than any ship of the Titanic's time. But none of them have the decor of the Edwardian period, which so evokes the glorious long-ago era of the "Gilded Age." I think that's a lot of what makes the Titanic so special in most people's minds.
Being someone who has always loved the Titanic and known so much about it, I didn’t actually know that they were setting up the first class dining saloon when she collided with the iceberg... That’s very sad. They had no idea that tomorrow wouldn’t come.
Yeah..never thought of that. I guess it makes sense. Clean up after dinner and then set up for the next day. I imagine set up would take a while since everything had to be perfect.
Tomorrow did come. In fact the ship was still sinking when the next day came. Just some people didn't know tomorrow would be the last day of their lives. I think that's what you meant.
Alex Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for clarifying. I know the ship was sinking until around 2:20 AM, April 15, 1912. Tomorrow didn’t come for the ship and for many of those people.
Reminds of on 9/11 the staff of the Windows on the World restaurant were setting the tables for an executive breakfast meeting that morning when the plane struck. All the restaurant staff died that day.
Well did you know it was black peoples on the ship
I love seeing these virtual tours of titanic because they are nicely done and they make me feel as if I traveled back in time and am on the ship herself. I love the music being used btw.

"Go away, I'm too busy. Mr. Isador Strauss has lost his cufflink."
Odd that the a la carte restaurant is rarely shown, seen, in books, film and yet it is more beautiful than the first class dining room in my opinion!
To me it looks exactly the same as the first class dining room.
@@blinksbill1138 Are you blind? :)
Yes, it's much more comfortable and beautiful. The first class dining room, as noble as it is, still seems a large hall for the masses (it contained about 500 seats). Also, the columns in the mid of some round tables disturb the vision and conversation amongst the guests sitting at those tables. In contrast, the A la carte restaurant with is warm colours (mostly red) creates a much more private and pleasant atmosphere.
Yes, that's why the a la carte restaurant is not included in the ticket🤣
All three restaurants onboard were run by the famous restaurateur Signore Gatti.
The Á la Carte restaurant was extremely expensive.
You had to pay up in advance for the whole journey.
But then you could have all your meals there.
(If you managed to bag a table, that is...)
The First Class Dining Saloon meals were included in the ticket. Wich was £26 from Southampton to New York.

Did you know that Harland & Wolff still existed a couple of years ago? If they would've made horrible ships, they would've went out of business a loooong time ago don't you think?

Вы серъезно?
I was there in Belfast Northern Ireland where they built it. The area is still there.
I went to a travelling exhibit in 2002. They had a chunk of the ship's hull as part of their gallery. I got to touch the thing and let's just say the experience is one I'll never forget.
I was last in the tour group. Given that I am functionally blind, the guide held me back and basically walked me through by himself at the main tour's end. That's when he said "Lean over, but don't touch the trip wire. Now, reach out. Forward."
Odd how rough, dry, slightly flaking metal could move me to tears at the time....
I had a similar experience with HMS Hood's bell at Portsmouth a couple of years back. A feeling that you are reaching out and touching a piece of legend- something which has lain, effectively, on the dark side of the moon for so long, and is suddenly tangible once more. It truely does send shivers down the spine.
Breathtaking. The textures and varied lightening is so key. With all the virtual tours, recreations, and movies, I so feel like I was actually on the Titanic! There's much bigger ships today, but none can compare to the steamships of this era. There's was a palatial elegance. A Grandeur that's gone with today's modernistic and rather kitschy cruise ship interiors.
What an incredible walk-through of the great ship. Thanks and respect to those involved. The attention to detail is stunning.
I turned my headphone volume down and imagined hearing my footsteps as I moved around, eavesdropping on the conversations of some of the First Class passengers and smelling lingering food smells in the Dining Room. Very evocative.
To think that all that finery would end up at the bottom of the Atlantic .......
The world still grieves for Titanic and still mourns for 1500 souls.

Absolutely, unbelievably, fantastic work of art. To a novice like me, this video borders on magic! Many thanks to the developers for their wonderful creation!
As a huge fan of Titanic and the tragic story surrounding it, this was so beautiful to feel like I was getting a guided tour of one of the most famous ships in history. Even 3rd class dining areas looked good. I agree with another comment on here. Such a shame they didn't turn Olympic into a floating hotel. It would have been wonderful to stay on it, especially if they did it as a themed hotel
Brilliant music, seemed to encompass the majesty of the ship and the sadness of its eventual fate, very well done.👏👏🇦🇺
And it also gives an Irish folklore touch, like in the Cameron movie.
Yes the music was lovely, but it became a bit menotous(sp)
The music is terrible!
@@dianemiller7454 Какой?
Not only the ship as a machine is impressive, also the beatuful craftmanship of the whole interior. That carpentry, plumbing, carved wood, marble bars, carpets, just everything. I ask myself how they planned and developed and finally coordinated the construction of the whole thing, including all the interior and appliances and beds and just every little detail
It was built in just 3 years. Ponder that!
Ship building was more common than and were the only way you could get across the ocean for many.
@@charlottejamieson5623 My house was built in 1900. 12 years before the Titanic sank. That boggles my mind. My dad was a carpenter, We built many houses.
Nothing like the size and the scope of the Titanic. lol. What side of the pond are you on? curious. Not many U.S. women care about history anymore. If ever.
That's why I ask. It's a rare virtue.

Thank you for making this! I always wondered what's it's like inside. The attention to details is exquisite. There's so much elegance and class to it. The scale of the ship is astonishing considering it was built before computers were available to help with 3D modelling, remarkable feat of engineering.
I love the music so much matches perfectly
The Grand Stair Case is my part favorite of the Titanic , looked like a palace
which Grand Staircase are you referring to?
Here 8:37, I was imaging Rose dancing so happily with her Jack!
Amazing video, LOVED IT. 💖
Amazing. The ship was staggering. And the she went down on her first voyage . Still boggles the mind.
The rendering is fantastic. You get an intimate feel of actually being there, of space and size, more than any plan could achieve. The texture of light on surface and the detail of light and shadow is incredibly realistic. The attention to detail is mind boggling.
You are aware he didn't create it, right? A game dev studio called Titanic: Honor and glory actually created it as a Demo for their upcoming game.
@@pixistix_ Hi, yes. Titanic Honor & Glory has been plugged by Sam of Historic Travels quite a bit too.
I especially enjoyed that the "walker" literally grazes the palm at 2:37, and passes the wooden carved eggs on E deck at 4:20, shortly before entering Scotland Road.
Can't believe how beautiful the ship was. I don't believe today's ship builders can build a more beautiful ship than what the titanic once was
that 3rd class dinning room is still nicer then my Apt.
Yes - it all looked nice. Interesting that single men were kind of imprisoned in their own section. That's one way of solving a problem.
Than
I didn’t want this to end for a brief moment I was there
Beautiful… It feels like only yesterday watching documentaries about the centenary of its sinking.. & now another 10 years has passed, and we’re about to hit 110 years since she sank. We are all here for only a short time.. In memory of all those lives cut short, including this elegant ship.
the music to this video is beautiful and so eerie
Does anybody know it?
Not really eerie just kinda sad
It’s so beautiful! ’
Myth by Zackary Nelson
nice horner-like pastiche...who was master of pastiches himself.
That was pretty damn amazing. That looked so real. I watched in VR mode. Now do an underwater exploration of the ship. That would be eerie but beautiful at the same time.
Agreed
the ship was absolutely amazing. Rest in peace to all of the beautiful souls who didn't survive.❤️🕊
Stunning video. Beautifully made. The more I watch videos about the Titanic the more I become enchanted about the story. I feel for the people who lost their lives. People are people. Heart breaking. Thank you for such a beautiful masterpiece of a video. It leaves me speechless. The background music really adds a tone from the era. Please make more videos. Thank you.
I don’t know why I’m so fascinated with ships
Me too !!!
Same here and never been on one lol
Me too!
do you still care about them ?

I love the music
All that beauty, all that craftsmanship, all those lives lost, the waste of it all is mind numbing. This truly was a tragedy. RIP all you fine souls.
I love the fact that it went into the boiler room and Thomas Andrews’ cabin. How neat! I always hope that if there’s an afterlife Titanic will be there
i was once aboard this beautiful ship..
in a life unknown..
that ended that night..
when she held me tight to her bosom..
as she sunk into the dark abyss..
now all that i have of her..
is the timeless memory..
that takes me back to her
each time i close my eyes..
and remember the fresh paint on her walls
and the bustle on her decks..
the jets of smoke..
expelled by her smoke stacks..
and the whirring sound
of her propellers...
the shiny cutlery and their gentle clanking
blended with the chatter in the dining rooms,
beautiful music played in the background,
the grave chats in the smoking rooms,
and the banters at the cafes..
all gone now,
laid down on the ocean floor..
of the vast Atlantic ocean,
where she lies
awaiting her end..
as she slowly dissolves
into dust and water..

Thank you for this beautiful poem! Did you write this yourself or is it from somewhere else?
Unbelievable recreation of the Grand old Lady. The amount of work and research that went into this virtual tour is staggering! It's as real as it gets! Imagine the amount of man hours that went into the creation of this vessel in real life. One day there may be an interactive walk-through that enables the viewer to explore the ship as they wish.
It was built in a mere 3 years! Incredible.
The “salons” are still chic by today’s standards. I can see myself having cocktails and chatting in those spaces.
Yes, it resembles me of the piano bars in noble hotels, which are still common nowadays, and I always enjoy them.
No joke! Every single time I see footage of the interior of this ship I have this strange feeling of dejavu! As if I have been on this ship and seen all this before. Maybe a dream? I don't know. When I was young and hearing about the story of the Titanic I use to get shivers feeling so familiar with it some how. This is true! Even watching the film that came out with Leonardo DiCaprio gave me such an odd feeling as if I have been on the ship experiencing all that happened hitting the iceberg and the ship flooding with water and sinking. I know how crazy this may sound to everyone. I can't shake this feeling away. It's been with me practically all my life now even up to now. It all feels so familiar to me especially the outer decks of the ship.
have you seen A Night To Remember (1958)? It ought to get your dejavu going, since it’s the most historically accurate Titanic film to date.
Вы в прошлой жизни значит были пассажиром Титаника, возможно. Такое тоже возможно. 16.06.24.
She was a beauty indeed. All the liners of today dont have the elegance and beauty like the Titanic. She was a work of art indeed. Really enjoyed your video. Im a big Titanic nerd. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The creator should make a cool detective-style game out of this.
@PHONOGRAPH oh, great!
@Angry silence it’s made by the gem at Titanic: Honor and Glory, they have a TH-cam channel I suggest you heck them out!
There is a 1996 game called 「Titanic Adventure ~ Out of time」
@@azumi-osaki played the heck out that on my dads old Macintosh haha. First thing I thought of when I saw this demo.
@@stoneage8236 "(ღ˘ ⌣ ˘ღ)"
So very well thought out. Thank you for the hard work it had to be in creating this. At the same, it has to be so very sad that all of this and the people on board suffered such a terrible fate after five days of being in service. The hard work by all the iron workers, artisans in wood working, machinery builders, electricians, etc. All gone in less than a week.
he didn’t make this.
Aside from the terrible loss of innocent lives, what a loss too of such a beautiful ship. The woodwork, carpeting, furniture, beautiful lighting, all lost on her maiden voyage, all because of plain stupidity, there were plenty of warnings that went out, and were ignored. A collection of mistakes that followed. Such a sad story, one that has lasted through the ages. May they rest in peace, their unfulfilled dreams of a better future that followed them. Thank-you for this video.
All but two of the warnings were received by the captain and acted upon by turning the ship farther south to avoid the bulk of the reported ice field.
Yes, but with no reduction in speed. Still absolutely foolish. They knew then too how much of an iceberg was below the water surface. They just believed this ship was unsinkable.
@@maryannszedetzki5669 Visibility was still in their favor, with Smith being more than willing to slow down if this changed. He specifically stated to 2nd officer Charles Lightoller before turning in for the night that if a haze arose or if it "became at all doubtful" that they "should have to go very slowly".
Even the third class (aka steerage class) dinning saloon looked like a place I'd have no problem eating at.
Very nice video.
A lot of the saloon rooms and promenades made me think of me sitting on my grandmother's porch as a kid. That was one old but beautiful ship to see it recreated like that.
In summer of 1984 I met a little elderly German lady in the restroom of Luby's restaurant on Bay Area Blvd., in Webster, TX., at Baybrook Mall near I-45 (Gulf Freeway). I had my 4 year-old daughter, Jane with me. My daughter and I were washing our hands. I had studied German for about 10 yrs and detected the elderly lady's solid German accent as she and her grown granddaughter washed theirs.
So in German, I introduced myself and my daughter who I was beginning to teach German to!
I told her my daughter was learning also and asked my daughter Jane (in English), what parts of the face were in German, and she told the elderly lady in German Die Augen, Das Gesicht etc.
The lady introduced herself as Mrs. Robinson and said she lived in Blanco, Texas. She told me she was 12 yrs old and on board the Carpathia, on way to the United States when they received the call about the Titanic. Mrs. Robinson said they picked up the survivors from the Titanic in the Life boats. She settled in Blanco, TX years later and married an American and began her family there. Was so interesting to hear her tale of that event!
Well there’s 22 minutes that I don’t want back!
Fascinating
i can honestly say this is one of the best things i have seen on youtube, just wow !
Hello how're you doing hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Super Amazing video. Hats off to the creators of this virtual Titanic ship.
Am I the only one that at 18:24 recreated the last scene of the movie where Rose is dead and walks up the stairs where all of the souls on the Titanic were gathering and Jack is waiting for her at the top of the staircase? That scene always kills me cause the fact that he was the love of her life and only got to be together for 2 days is incredibly tragic. On topic: what a great VR tour! Feels so real.
technically, that’s not the “Grand Staircase”
there were actually two 1st class staircases. The main one that went from E deck to the Boat Deck (aka, the “Grand Staircase”), and the “Aft Staircase” which was a bit farther back and only went from C deck to A deck. It was slightly smaller, and more modest.
@@DerpyPossum Thanks for the correction. It's crazy how beautiful it was.
@@DerpyPossum Yes, but which one was shown in the movie? Does the famous clock stand in the Grand Staircase, in the Aft Staircase or in both?
@@goldfing5995 the “Famous” clock (with the Honor & Glory carving) is on the main forward staircase. The aft one looked exactly like it does in this video.
@@goldfing5995 the width gives it away. The Grand Staircase ran the width of the ship until D deck, then it became narrower from E deck down, into 2nd class.
The Aft GS wasn't as wide after the first couple decks and the rotunda was either smaller or omitted (I can't recall at the moment if it had one) but in the final scene of the film you can see how big the main GS is by the amount of people behind the banister on Boat Deck level. (Look for JJ Astor, you'll see just how many people are there with him)
Well done, absolutely beautiful reconstruction of what it was like to be onboard the Titanic. Amazing detail. Incredible.
Beautiful virtual tour. The music is also very soothing--and appropriate. Thanks.
Beautiful yet sad.
Utterly blown away by this recreation. Thank you so so much
Beautiful video of what she looked like. I always think back to the decision in 1935 to decommission the Olympic, her sister ship, and scrap everything and sell all the insides. It's a shame. 23 years after the Titanic went down you would think somebody would have thought that they should preserve the Olympic. It was more or less an exact replica of the Titanic. They could have made much more money allowing people to tour that ship for decades. All they would have had to do is use the proceeds from the tours to preserve it.
I visited the RMS Queen Mary ship berthed in Long Beach CA in the early 1980's with my family when I was a teenager. I haven't though much about it until I saw this virtual tour of the Titantic. While the sister ship RMS Olympic could have been used as a floating hotel, for conferences and as a venue and such, it might have run into the same financial troubles for repairs that are currently plaguing the Queen Mary. Check out different online news sites regarding the RMS Queen Mary.
"Олимпик" могли бы просто вытащить на сушу и сделать из него сухопутный отель, и сдавать номера всем желающим, которых оказалось бы не мало. И таким образом, сохранить его для истории и как образец искусства начала 20-го века. 16.06.24.
This walkthrough was mesmerising, I'm a huge titanic fan, thx so much. 💗
I wasn't aware of the walkway named Scotland Road (Scotty Road as we call it here in Liverpool), being named after it. Scotty road is one of the most famed roads within our city. So many Irish and other countries immigrants lived along side it.
Ironically this was so calming to watch and the music went so well with the video.
This is a great video, really interesting seeing what the interior of the Titanic would have looked like, the grand stairway must have been beautiful. And the music chosen for this video is absolutely beautiful, but haunting, totally appropriate for this ship that has such a tragic background, the music makes you feel awed at the elaborate designs of the Titanic's interior, but really makes you feel for the people that lost their lives in this horrible moment in history, at the same time :( The bit with the boiler, though, and the narrow, lower deck passages, that just makes my stomach twist, thinking about what it would have been like in there when those areas were flooding, especially for the boiler crew who stood by their posts no matter what, to try to keep the Titanic afloat as much as possible, I feel claustrophobic just looking at it, it's so tight in there :o
Words aren’t enough to describe how fantastic was titanic and this wonderful work, congratulations and thank you so much for the best video about this i ever found!
Oh my God, dit was echt zo ongelooflijk en fantastisch om te zien! Dit is een droom die uitkomt om de Titanic van binnen te zien! 10000x dank mijn lieve lieve man, WR! Hiermee heb je een droom van mij uit laten komen. Ik je wel 10000 kusjes geven uit dank. Ik hou zooo ongelooflijk veel van jou!! 100000 dank mijn schat!
Ive been watching Titanic Honor and Glorys progress for about 5 years. I really hope the whole game is done someday, honestly I don't give a fuck about the gameplay. I just want to see the Titanic as it would have appeared in 1912 in all of its glory. Ive been obsessed with the Titanic since about 1994. If the entire ship is explorable with every detail exactly as it would have appeared than Id pay like 500 bucks just for that.
Every SINGLE time the Titanic is mentioned, for the rest of eternity, we’ll have to hear that music.
This is so wonderful to see. Modern cruise liners don't have the decdance this ship held, true elegance.
@13:58 To the right is Isidor & Ida Strauss' room. I live in NYC, a few blocks away from Strauss Park, a small park in the Upper West Side. It was dedicated to them. I love spending time there.
Extraordinary virtual tour. Thank you for this video. I do wish, however, that it stayed on the signs a bit longer so we could read them---also for us to see the different classes' cabins. Otherwise, it was glorious. All I could think of was, in addition to the horrific loss of life---was the staggering financial loss for the White Star Line. I hope the Titanic was heavily insured.
Titanic was actually under-insured by $2.5 million, and also partially self-insured by the White Star Line themselves.
Quite the loss indeed...
An endearing story that will live for eternity. The sea can be very unforgiving when an emergency strikes. May god bless the souls of all that were lost at sea and calm the dreams of the survivors that surely come in the night.
i am still amazed at how beautiful she was. I know todays cruise liners are a lot bigger, but she was just something else, so elegant and strong. it's a shame she went down that way and took with her all those poor souls.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. Great job getting such detail into a simulation. Really makes one appreciate just how amazing such a ship truly was, especially for its time, and even compared to today.
A wonderful experience, helps you to capture the feel of what it was like aboard this amazing vessel.
Thanks for posting. Twenty two minutes well spent.
Thanks for doing this now we can see this beautiful ship from inside
"Titanic Honor and Glory" has done a spectacular job recreating these spaces. This is an early prototype. They produce another YT channel called "Titanic University" which is a great place for beginners. The face that suddenly pops up in the door porthole is a nod to a 1990s Titanic game called "Titanic, Adventure out of Time". This was the ship's purser and you run into him throughout the game for clues. It was pretty advanced for the 90s with a nice musical score.
There's nothing early about this. It's been in "development" for over ten years!
LD Davis I remember that Game, I played it on my old desktop in the mid 90's.. Most of the games required serious hardware, video card with lots of video memory, good solid drivers, even Star Trek Deep Space Nine's "The Fallen" Required serious graphics cards.. When you're on a budget, can't play the game like it was meant to be.. lol I was too busy living check to check.. I even used to play LHX helicopter attack game.. ;) Sweet times.. To Retire in the 90's with a nicer bigger budget to afford good game machines. :)
That dude made me jump when he popped up.
Beautiful music choice 👌
incredibly rendered and fully immersive experience. I must say, without wishing to be disrespectful, it was much better than I had anticipated.
You really felt you were there. The only slight criticism is that too much time is spent in the same areas, whereas it would've been nice to have seen more of the outside decks, and the bow.
Slight irony too how they have recreated something so spectacularly using computing power, yet the ship was designed by hand! Really hits home what an unbelievable task this would be...
the reason not many spaces were explored is because they weren’t created yet; this is simply a demo from 2017 :)
Whoever made this did such a beautiful job. Can't wait to see if it is expanded upon at some point. there is so much more to explore on this beautiful ship.
Titanic is Amazing, beautiful and sad at the same time. Thank you for the virtual tour
Wow she was beautiful! Such a stunning ship I would of loved to have been on! Standing on the deck with the ocean breeze watching the ocean go by ❤️ Music is perfect for the video too! RIP all the souls who died on that night ❤️
11:01 For me, that "look up" sign makes me think someone will scare the hell out of me lol. Reminds me of Lisa from PT lol
Amazing and excellent. Had I been on the ship, surely I would have believed it was unsinkable. Its so solid and serious. It looks that way because of one more thing to pity, the craftsmen who toiled themselves bloody to carve the wood. What must they have thought later? Its true that the unnecessary loss of life has worked to keep Titanic alive. Ive followed this for 60 years and still astonished.
This was truly amazing to watch, how the upper class lived whilst on the Titanic, and then to show 2nd and 3rd class too, I didn't expect that, but thankyou for uploading this. 🙂
