- The story of the band that played as the Titanic sank has become solidified with the legendary ship, its a story that resonated around the world, both in 1912 and to present day.
Band leader, Wallace Hartley, was lost, along with the rest of the band when the ship sank. But his story doesn't end there. In this episode we follow the story of Hartley's lost violin and trace how it went from the decks of Titanic to a mans loft some one hundred years later.

Great video as always. So informative and so well structured. Looking forward to your next one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had the opportunity to see this violin and hear the story at the Titanic Exhibit in Branson, MO several years back. It's fascinating.
Their was a small museum dedicated to Wallace Hartley in the Colne Valley town hall until about five years when the council wanted the space back. I managed to contact the former curator via Facebook after it closed to purchase some of the memorabilia that was being stored in his house.
Wow such a shame they closed it down. Pretty cool you got to purchase some stuff though.
please do more videos of these there fun to watch and i learn new stuff
I’m really glad you like the episodes 👍🏻
Another interesting & well produced video. I have been fascinated for years by the Titanic. I met Millvina Dean, Eva Hart & Edith Haisman when they were still alive. The Museum at Belfast with the Nomadic was a fantastic visit. The Thompson Graving dock was still open. To stand in there with the Cassen gate behind me was something i will never forget. Time for another visit to see the Violin methinks. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching! How amazing to have met both Miss Dean and Hart. Belfast and the Nomadic hold a very special place in my heart, as I imagine they do for any Titanic buff, I visit often. Thanks again for supporting my channel 👍🏻😁
FINALLY a new upload! 🙏🏻
Superb episode
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing. I wonder where they found Maria's diary?
Was recommended this video through everyone's friendly algorithm. Have subscribed and am in the process of binging your videos.
I’m still confused as to how the algorithm works but I’m grateful for the view 😁👍🏻
Excellent content, thank you sir.

Superb video...I enjoy them all and found this one exceptional. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😁
Just wanted to say I seriously love your videos not only for the titanic lore but you're hilarious❤❤❤
Thank you. I’ve been having quite a tough time at the minute and I really appreciate your comments.
Fascinating work, excellent
Thank you so much 😁
What a SAD STORY 😢
I thorouhgly enjoyed this latest episode. I always wondered what happened to Wallace's violin after the arrival of the Carpathia to New York. Thank you so much for clearing up this one up. As usual your commentary is A1 and 1st class. I recently went to see the Titanic exhibition for the 2nd time. Its amazing how they can go so deep into the ocean to retreive these artifacts. Can't wait for future exhibitions and your next episode.
Thank you for your kind comments. I’m so glad you like the episode.
Excellent vlog, I just subscribed! Looking forward to more from a Titanic fan, always remember these amazing souls around the anniversary, never to be forgotten. Such galantry forever lost.🙏❤️
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻
What a great video, I'm from Burnley and knowing the walk from his house to the bank would've been a killer every day up that hill!!
I know right! I’m from Norfolk which is known for being very flat. So I was constantly out of breath walking around the place. 😂. Thank you for watching 👍🏻
@@BeyondTheTitanic haha I spend a lot of time in Colne! It’s a great town (they close off all of Albert Road for a music festival every August bank holiday it’s truly amazing and I think Wallace Hartley would’ve loved to have seen that) The Crown is a great pub to live next to too😂 he really is well-remembered round here and especially this time of year. We had a lovely memorial service 2 years ago on the 110th anniversary with a live orchestral band and our local historian telling tales of the ship and Wallace Hartley. Hope to see you round here again and my door is always open for a brew and chat all things Titanic!
It was so nice to see a place embracing its link to the Titanic and to be honest it was quite moving, I hope I did his story proud with this episode. no doubt I shall be back up that way again soon.
Love this episode thanks so much.
Too bad it can't be refurbished and played again. How eerie that would be.
Your amazing thankyou ❤
Aww thank you, I’m so glad you liked it.
I make violins as a hobby. Violin makers use the same type of glue for 400 years. We make our own glue, it's called hide glue. Made from animal hide. Water would destroy the glue. We use hide glue because it is brittle. Violins are made to be taken apart just in case the violin needs to be repaired.
The glue for this violin, is suspicious.
Oh really, what a fascinating insight, so I would assume you do not believe it to be genuine….hmmm interesting 🤔
@@BeyondTheTitanic I do not think it is the original violin. Violins are in a class of their own. Handmade violins are made the same way since Stradivarius was alive. The wood used for a violin, comes from the northern side of the Alps. We make our own stains, varnishes and hide glue. In the same way. I do not think DNA testing could reveal anything much.
I can go to a pet store and purchase animal hide chew pieces for my dog.
I can cut them into little pieces and put them in a crock pot with a little bit water.
In a few hours I will have "Hide GLue".
Violins are delicate works of art. The humidity in the air can damage a violin.
Congratulations on an excellent video about Wallace Hartley!
Thank you so much. I’m so happy you like it.
Amazing episode! Thank you for your great work, please don't stop, I am waiting for more!
Thank you! I shall do my best to keep them coming.
Things like this shouldn't be auctioned
It was owned by persons who broke no law by selling it. If the item is on display, then its continued preservation, is more guaranteed.
Excellent story!
Superb video, as always. ❤
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
When is next video coming out???
Thanks for the question. I’m trying to get more episodes out as soon as possible but I work full time so it takes some time. Episode Nine: The Money Boat should be out within the next month or two.
Totally enjoy all of your videos! Thank you so much!
Aww thank you for the comment, I’m glad you like them all 😁

Really enjoy your videos!
Thank you ever so much x
You’re welcome, I’m glad you like them 😁👍🏻
I feel like its quite likely someone aboard the recovery ship knew the significance at the time and deliberately failed to document its recovery
I actually agree on this. I try not to delve too much into speculation without any form of evidence but I suspect something like this may have happened.
Wallace didn't play till water came up that's impossible his violin was in a leather bag and strapped to him so that's 2 to 5 minutes I'd say to do that he can't of done that as he was drowning
I'm really enjoying your channel. But I must admit, the reporter in the opening montage referring to the "S.S. Titanic" does make me cringe.
Several people have mentioned this and I’m curious as to why it bothers people?
@@BeyondTheTitanic Basic fickleness on my part to be honest. Also, RMS is a title that carried a certain amount of prestige, and perhaps some may feel the use of SS is disrespectful to the ship.
That said, your series is excellent so far, looking forward to more.
A correct title of address for a ship is important. I'd expect a yank to get her title wrong, but someone from this country no excuse. To use the wrong title or name is like using the wrong name or title for a person. It is bad etiquette.
