My Great Grandmother, Nelle Snyder was a passenger and survivor of the Titanic disaster. She, and her maid were rescued in lifeboat # 7. She was returning from her honeymoon in Europe.
robert meyerriecks What did she tell about the titanic?
I call bullshit
@@Parkerlee1000 its not hard to believe..
Hey Robert. She must have had some interesting stories to tell. I recently read that even the survivors were greeted with an absolute downpour once they made it to safety in America. Imagine spending all that time dodging the flooding doomed ship, then spending all that time in a crowded lifeboat, and then when you're finally safe, being greeted by a downpour of rain.
Im sorry but it was not glong there before it went to Europe it was in canada
My grand uncle survived. Third class passenger. Daniel Buckley Jr. he spoke before the senate explaining how awful the 3rd class passengers were treated. He joined the American Army and died by sniper shortly before WW1 ended. He’s my hero.
That is such a sad story. He sounds like an amazing guy.
Thanks for sharing!
First class hero.
How tf did he die in ww1 and ride in the titanic?? Doesn’t add up
@@misaelmendoza9725 ... pick up a history book and leqrn before you write something so stupid.
Respect the Ocean. It's undefeated, its ruthless, merciless, powerful and its vast.
Well put.
Exactly
Very true. I am terrified of the ocean.
I could be wrong. But A LOT of aristocrats and extremely wealthy ppl were on that ship and I think right around WW1 the world was changing fast and the modern age had begun..the gap between the super wealthy and very poor was too great and if Europe was gonna survive there couldn't be such a big gap between neighbors becuz of birth status. They needed each other to rebuild Britain during WW1... That ship killed ALOT of wealthy ppl at once..That ship was doomed from the day it sailed becuz NOTHING is unsinkable...gods true magic tends to happen when man kind puts machine built thing above gods natural wonders like the ocean. I personally don't believe a iceberg sunk that ship. U ever saw ice slice thru a metal plate even the thin-est of metal ? Me either smh
@@Mone333Williams sir, do you know what an iceberg looks like ? We are talking about a mountain of ice inside of the sea "pretty much", it was a 122 METERS long iceberg my friend. Yes, it did sunk that ship, because it was very possible.
Also, you need to consider the speed the ship was traveling, more than 23 miles per hour, which makes the impact even worse.
The most terrifying detail I ever read was that the survivors in the lifeboats could actually hear an implosion beneath them as that massive ship made her final descent. Especially in the pitch-black of the moonless night with hundreds of screams, having so much happening underneath them that they couldn't see would have been enough to snap _my_ sanity.
Sadly Ironic that is to the titan sub
U just gave me chills
@@jmiller9972 That's exactly how _I_ felt when I read it. I can't fathom how terrifying all of it must have been. Then, to sit silently in one of those boats four hundred miles from land as the screams and pleas for help started to go silent one by one? I hope this doesn't come across offensive, but I honestly don't know what would have been worse: being in the lifeboats with all those sounds echoing through your head for the rest of your lifetime or being in the water and having your panic and your consciousness slip away within minutes?
My great grandfather was on the Titanic they were announcing that only women and children were allowed onto the life rafts when a guy running by slipped on a chunk of ice, he said he was laughing that much he nearly dropped his purse 😉😂
@@giggles7179 absolutely terrible...I couldn't imagine
And now they are all dead. Every single person who sat foot on the Titanic is gone. Both the victims resting on the ocean floor of the north atlantic, and the survivors who made it home. It's sad to think about.
@Leo Welch i dont think "moves on" is appropriate. Life continues, but no one should be "moving on." Those words are just so cold to refer to people who wanted to live, just like you do right this moment. (or maybe you don't. but sometimes you do.)
I think it's sad, yes.
But if they never stepped foot on titanic, never even knew if its existence - like billions of other people on the planet - they would still be gone unfortunately.
May they all rip.
Pretty soon the Titanic will be gone herself
@Leo Welch I think you mean the heart will go on
@Debziez there's probably a couple left
It's truly sad that persons in steerage or lower classes had to stay below deck until the upper classes were cleared. It means that some persons probably never made it to the deck of the titanic at all.
Yes my dear Maria some were stuck in there till the end
Yes very few people from steerage survived. What a tragedy and it must have been absolutely frightening to witness and experience. Huge iron ship like that, going down like that in a couple of hours. God rest their souls.
It’s horrible everyone’s equil
Unicycle Crazy !!! We know as human beings we are all equal on this earth but in certain cultural systems, particularly in the U.K. where Titanic left, there is a belief system of hierarchy based on money, work and education - the working class, upper class and middle class. In the UK it goes way back in the times of old kings and queens and even today we still have a class system in the UK. I'm middle class as I'm educated but not rich but then there are others like simple labourers who are deemed working class. We shouldn't be labelled that way but we are. Working class or living in a manor as a well educated upper class person shouldn't matter, we are all people with a heartbeat.
Greenkitty82 I agree
Insane how the ship was split up based on class. And the order people were saved was based on class. It’s very interesting to hear interviews from survivors of different classes. How their experiences were vastly different.
"We were not allowed to go to any part of the ship except the deck "...Sounds somethinh like any commercial airline would do...how ironic that class divide is accepted as normal
I imagine based on ticket price, which of course generally means your richest people will be in 1st class. This practice is still used if you think about airlines. Go to a music concert, there are expensive tickets and cheap tickets; you're expected to stay in your area.
Third class women would have had priority over first class men for getting a seat in the lifeboats. Being first class didn't help that much for the men. Though they still had a better chance than 3rd class men for sure.
Have you never travelled on a plane then ? Duh. Stupid comment
still is today
I can’t imagine going through something this traumatic - running around the ships deck as it’s sinking, seeing the ship sink and hearing all those people suffering - and just having to move on with your life. So many of the survivors must of felt like a part of them was left on that ship and were never the same people again afterwards.
But they chose to go on and not sit and wallow. For sure the survivors were preserved for a purpose great or small. For many adversity builds resilience and strength and gratitude. I have no idea how terrible that night was but I do know many decent hard working people died because of poor decisions by the power players who wanted to set a record and over ruled a skilled Captain. Thank God for the skipper of the Carpathia .
Yeah you can. In fact, you just did. Your brain physically cannot imagine something impossible or incomprehensible.
For those unaware, this is Edith Russell. This is my favourite quote of hers - ""I'm accident-prone," she said. "I've been in shipwrecks, car crashes, fires, floods and tornadoes. I've had every disaster but bubonic plague and a husband.""
I liked that quote. Thanks for sharing it. She must have been quite a character.
I love her! She's the highlight of this video.
💞😂😂💞
I think having a wife would be the real disaster rather than a husband…
Ok so apparently I offended a bunch of left-wing liberals with this joke. Please take my comment for what it is, *a JOKE.* I honestly don't think having a wife is a disaster, so please stop getting all offended by just a simple comment.
@@thecomedypilot5894 i agree, 😂 believe this could work "both" ways.
It's officially 108 years since Titanic sank
No way this comment is real
Sadly its true
@M yeah 😟😂
@@rockfreakk5712 300+ bodies were recovered. 1.1K + bodies were never found or recovered. This means at least 1.5K people died then.

Well if that's all true, it sounds like you have an amazing story to share.. if you ever choose to. All in your own timing of course. I just hope it comes across me, if you do choose to. It's an incredible namesake. 💜🙏🏻🕊️
@@jessicawalker3614 Well it is all sadly true. His name is engraved on my grandparents grave in Athenry Co. Galway. It reads ''Lost On Titanic''. Later this year I am getting a rock from the Homeplace to make into a headstone for my mother. I think It will be a good idea. I live on the opposite side of Ireland and her grave is near me.
Something important I’ve learned; the discovery of the Titanic was monumental in confirming the stories of many woman and children and no longer making them feel crazy or hysterical in the eyes of these “naval professionals”.
almost every survivor said they saw the ship break in half and stand upright, and of course, all the confident men denied that was possible. That is until the bow and stern were discovered thousands of feet apart.
What are you on about? What "naval professionals" were making people feel crazy? Noone denied the possibility of the ship breaking as it was witnessed and recounted by Frank Osman, a Seaman in lifeboat 2. Sounds like you are inserting fallacies to align with a socio-political narrative that 100% has no place in the conversation at hand. Indoctrination I suppose. All the best w whatever you got goin on 😅.
Most sexist comment ever written. Men also cried out WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST, and told stories of seeing the boat tear in half before their eyes.
@@trobinski1842they’re on about men that weren’t on the boat didn’t believe the people telling that story
600ft away from the other part of the titanic i believe
You neglect to say why the "naval professionals" formed those opinions - because the eye witness accounts were totally contradictory. Most of the eye witnesses said the Titanic did *not* break in two, and those that did could not agree where it broke.
In fact titanic supposed to be the most safe ship.But instead is the most tragic history
because it was safe for those times. just not unsinkable, not in such circumstances
You cant just ram an iceberg at full speed and expect everything to be fine lol.
It has alot to do with the fact there where not enough life boats.
anom head on you might
@@anom3778 Actually the ship was designed in such a way that if the ship collided head on with the iceberg only one of the front compartments would have flooded. The ship would not have sunk
When you call a ship “Unsinkable”, Nature’s gonna remember that.....
Right! ESPECIALLY if you have the AUDACITY to say “nOt EvEn gOd HiMsELf CoULd tHiNk ThIs tHiP”. This is tragic as hell but this is why you don’t test Nature/God... Keep them thoughts to ya self
@@jct3439 ...who said that?
@@prototyp3972 Look up the newspapers written about the titanic at the time. I can’t think of the specific company off the top of my head but some papers were definitely saying that, if not then something along those lines
It was bloody well near unsinkable, but near was not enough this time
@@anonnieman The WSL was responsible for the "unsinkable" label. It appeared in one of their earliest brochures (1910) on the Olympic class liners. which were still under construction, and was taken up as "fact." It was published uncritically in Shipbuilder magazine with the word "practically" added to "unsinkable," and was kept going by an intense word-of-mouth campaign being driven by none other than the WSL people themselves, including Captain Smith and Thomas Andrews of Harland & Wolff. This was all at the height of the Industrial Revolution when many people truly believed that man had finally conquered Nature, or at least stake out a safe place for himself.
The Olympic class liners were very safe ships by any standards, probably even safer than many of the ships that are sailing today; but as one person posted here, they weren't meant to go ramming over an iceberg at 22.5 knots - not even an icebreaker would try to do that. The iceberg found the Titanic's Achilles Heel. "Practically unsinkable" also comes with an obvious qualifier: "practically"? It means "realistically," "sensibly," "reasonably," "nearly," "all but," etc. Even then, you can see, the WSL was sort of hedging its bets, since it knew full well there was no such thing as an unsinkable ship.
When I watched the movie I didn't feel sad for Rose and Jack at all, I felt horrible for the elders who were left behind, laying on their bed waiting to drown and the mother who told the story about Tir Na nog.
"We didn't know one another, so we couldn't get into conversation" is the most British thing ever. I'm sure they had at least one thing to bond over...
We don't tend to demarcate classes/ages/genders/roles nearly as much these days. Back then... you stayed in your lane as a social norm. Quite sad really - much like the 3rd class passengers being locked in the lower floors while the ship sank.
This is such incredible footage. They are human walking history books. Imagine all that they lived through.
Really? They don't look like books to me. They look more like...human. Find out what literally means before you decide to (mis)use it.
@@Saranda4787 Lady, have a seat. It was meant as a compliment as to the amount of history that they experienced in their precious lives.
Saranda Krasniqi omg chill out. people find anything to be mad about now. just shut your face.
That's actually a beautiful way of putting it, "They are walking history books"
@@nuss529 😊
I met Elizabeth and Violet Mellinger, mother and daughter survivors who lived in my town and are buried a couple of miles from where I live. The daughter was 12 and lifted into a lifeboat by Will Murdoch, 1st Officer. Their lifeboat picked up 2nd Officer Lightholler from the icy water and the mother gave him her coat. In return he gave her his silver officer's whistle.
Susie Q
Susie Q oh wow!! 😯 so interesting. Thanx for sharing Susie.
Oh my God !! To think that none of the crew survived. They indeed were heroes. Imagine what must be going in his head while giving that whistle that was to be the last thing of his life to reach people
Vaishnavi Tiwari I think the 2nd officer survived but he did that by swimming to a overturned boat.
Ashley N 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th officers all survived. One of the officers shot himself while the lifeboats were being loaded.
One of my great Aunt and Uncle's had tickets for the Titanic. They left Jersey to go to Southampton and fortunately my great uncle had his wallet stolen with the tickets inside. They had to buy more tickets for a different ship. Who knows what may have happened if they had travelled on the Titanic. My great aunt lived to well over 100 in BC Canada.
It was most probably a sign
Its more interesting to also hear how people interacted with people back then. We all here people say "the good old days", "You could leave your doors unlocked. People talked to each other" well here we see they didn't 7:59 "No well we didn't know one another so we couldn't get into conversation".
Shut up. You have an uglybdog as a profile picture. Worst animal ever.
The people on those boats were complete strangers to one another so they wouldn’t have talked. But as far as communities of people living their lives in the same neighbourhood you get to know the people in the towns you lived in and you did leave doors unlocked and you did speak with people out and about because even if you weren’t close with them they were still familiar to you.
Yeah, you can’t really make that comparison in this particular circumstance - they were in the midst of a horrendous mass tragedy.
I’m going to go out on a limb here-and say that everyone “not talking on the lifeboats,” had less to do with “not knowing each other” and more to do with the fact that they were floating aimlessly in the middle of the ocean, in pitch darkness, wet, freezing, terrified, traumatized, listening to people screaming/dying all around them- and nearly every person, on every boat, having just lost *at least* 1 person close to them…
Do you expect people to sit there and chitchat about their favorite teas to pass the time?
They should of played this after the movie titanic
@Martin have
Absolutely no reason they shouldn't that be very good historical information about society of the titanic
Are before
bob and vegana 4 trump play it before the movie
There was an original British Titanic movie before the 90's one which is more accurate and didn't have the love story. It also had a few facts at the end. It's an excellent movie.
The problem was to make this voyage at a time of the year when there was a lot of ice in the North Atlantic.The crew received a lot of warning about icebergs but still kept a dangerous high speed because they wanted to arrive in New York earlier so that the press would talk about how fast the ship was.There were some naval engineering mistakes,not enough lifeboats,the boats were not filled with people to its full capacity,there was no consideration for the 3rd class passengers,so many mistakes.They could have better observation instruments for the men who were watching out for icebergs like some nautic telescope or binoculars.The sea was calm,there was no fog,they could have seen the iceberg from a distance enough to dodge it.
Paul Heenan
they received warnings about icebergs from other ships way before the collision but still kept a dangerous high speed,the two last warnings were not sent to the bridge.One of the lookouts said that if he had binoculars he could have seen the iceberg before.During the investigation some passengers said that they heard Bruce Ismay talking with the Captain about increasing the speed.There was also criticism of the avoidance maneuver and so many other things
Fernando Miranda Yes, the last warning would have helped, for it could have pinpointed the exact iceberg they were going to hit. Even Officer Lightoller testified that had he known that ice was so close to Titanic, he would have slowed the ship down. In his own words, "That piece of paper would have saved that great ship." The blue colour of the berg was what helped hide it against the dark blue horizon until the last minute. As for Ismay wishing to increase speed, it was Titanic's first voyage, so he was discussing a possible speed run, weather permitting, on Monday morning for the ship to test its engines.
Paul Heenan
It was a combination of incompetence and misjudgment by the crew,the bridge,wireless operator and managers of the company
I completely agree, in addition to just some bad luck for the ship (nearly causing an accident before it even left port) and by sheer coincidence sailing straight into a lone iceberg. I've always thought, had Smith not adjusted her course to ironically avoid ice, would she have survived her voyage?
There are a lot of other stories and conspiracies that are saying that the sinking wasn't an accident 😞
it's amazing to hear her describe the moment of impact, that there was a slight bump and then another. Didn't feel like anything then she went to bed. Amazing story. so good these stories weren't lost.
Something that is terrifyingly apparent is the old lady even after surviving such a tragic event seemed to be more concerned about the 19 suitcases she left on the sunken ship than anyone else. The love of material things is truly a curse. Morbid fact: Everyone who stepped foot or saw the titanic either being built or leaving the docks is dead today,they're all gone. Someone will read this comment one day and i will be long gone too. C'est la vie 😊
Hm, I thought maybe she was remarking on the 19 trunks to emphasize that she hadn't realized how serious the situation was and so mistakenly took the time to worry about the security of her belongings. Like, she acted as though she thought she was coming back.
I think she's talking about the irony, with hindsight, of her concern at that fateful moment for those seemingly precious 19 trunks.
@@Muddy283 Yep. How could one possibly get from this video the idea that she still is more concerned about the suitcases and not talking about the irony in hindsight as you surmise.
@@MrDogfish83 Quite 😯.
'Someone will read this comment one day and i will be long gone too' not if you're uploaded to an artificial storage system and then a synthetic brain.
And now 111 years later 5 new men have died there. RIP. As a person who has followed the Titanic disaster since 2012, this is all such a shame. Don’t mess with history ladies and gentlemen
😞 May they all rest peacefully in Heaven.
RIP to the 5 dead people
Or you become history.

At least it was a quick death.

Titanic sunk 111 years ago, this video was uploaded 11 years ago, it's got 11 million views, and as I write this comment, the time is 11:11
Wow i typed this in 11 sec 😮
Wow, that is a lot of elevens! My sacred number. ☺️
Amazing footage.
Shivers went down my spine when she mentioned the "suction". I have actually never realized, there must have been massive water pressure dragging the boats towards the sinking Titanic, putting them at risk of sinking too....
MMLF 7619 I believe they were also concerned of being swamped. A boat that did go back was piloted by one of the crew members. He waited to go back, because he was afraid if they went back too soon they’d be tipped over by so many panicking people. They waited. I believe less than 20 people were saved from the water because of this.
Fun fact, the pig in this video was musical, played music. Another man took a Bible he’d promised his brother he’d always carry until they met again.
Actually there was no suction. They all thought there was, not true at all. It’s been scientifically disproven.

Pepe Supreme Mythbusters
It's so interesting to hear the different classes speak about things that happened either during the trip and the disaster. How first class were so worried about stuff and the third were just trying to survive. It's almost as if the urgency wasn't the same. First class certainly assumed they would be saved first and they weren't wrong. It's really sad to think how we as humans never learn or change.
JFC... get over yer pious self... u woke types are endlessly looking for affirmation...
This happened in a time where reputation was everything, and being the richest (first class) meant escaping many things, and they probably knew they would be saved meanwhile 3rd class had no idea if they would survive at all. In a way, this still exists for other matters.
There was also a lot of known celebrities on the ship,ofc it dosent mean there more important than others but back then that’s the reason they saved them first as well
this was portrayed vert well in the 1997 movie.. the rich asking. their maids to heat their room for when they return. the poor running from the rising water
Like that one guy that tried to pay money to get on the lifeboat then took that child and said he was the kids only family. What a horrible person.
This is so chilling to watch after the Titan incident in 2023. RIP to them all, may their souls rest in peace. 😢

Who is here after Titan Catastrophy in June 2023?
That's was not a catastrophe...that was one man's stupidity that cost the lives of another 4 people. When the deep dive community warned that f**cking idiot of an owner of titan before he went down t about the carbon structure, he didn't want listen. Don't confuse Titanic with Titan. There was no warning for Titanic. The owners and captain where not warned month's in advance. Titans was. Titanic was signed off with full specifications checks.. Titan was not and unfortunately 4 innocent people lost their life's for 1 man's ignorance and stupidity
Something sort of struck me while watching this; At the time it was filmed, the Titanic sat all alone at the bottom of the north Atlantic, not yet discovered, completely untouched for decades already. She would have been in far better shape than she is now but rotting and deteriorating, nonetheless. Many of the people that were onboard the night she sank, didn't even live to see her discovered. I can't imagine what it was like for those who were still alive, though, when footage was first released of the wreck. I would imagine, at that point, that they had long dealt with any traumas the sinking had created and that it's probably safe to say that it all came rushing back like a ton of bricks.
My Great grandmother was booked on that trip but had to cancel last minute .
She ended up on another voyage to New York ,we still have a crystal chandelier she bought in NY.
True story
My husband’s great grandparents were supposed to be on there as well, but great grandpa fell ill and they sold their tickets to someone else.
Imagine if it wasn't canceled, you may have not been here today or may have. 🤔
@@jenn8388 I feel like I died on that ship. To this day, I have a fear of cruise ships and the ocean and it has nothing to do with the movie. I just don't want to go near any cruise ship or large body of water. 🙁
@@AnAdorableWombat Do math much? It's totally possible that someone living today had a great grandparent aboard that ship. My great grandmother was born in 1893, which would have made her a young woman in 1912. Her daughter, my grandma, was born in 1925. My mom was born in 1945. She didn't have me until 1975, at age 29. I am currently 47.
I'm 46 and my grandfather was born in 1911. So my great grandmother could have been on the ship.
Something that always gave me chills was a survivor reporting the enormous, muffled sound of the ship imploding about 30 seconds after it disappeared beneath the surface - it was the noise of the iron buckling under the pressure and crushing every air pocket in the vessel shut.
I cannot imagine being there and experiencing that and hearing those sounds of the ship cracking and imploding. Then seeing the others in the water with no hope of getting on a lifeboat.
Along with the bodies of any unfortunate men,women,children,and pets trapped aboard that didnt die from drowning or freezing. Even the thought of that happening to their bodies while the ship imploded is horrible.
Woah where can I find that account?? It imploded??
@@bulkyzero basically the ship sank further than any human can dive. Hence why the wreckage wasnt discovered til way later. I think even further than a submarine can dive without imploding
@@blacknonbinarydisabledlesbian come to think of it, I remember reading a little about how it imploded as it sank. Yeah I can’t imagine what that would have sounded like. Maybe like a giant Whale’s roar. Spooky
It's so crazy to me hearing both of their stories from different classes of society period one at the time was only worried about luggage and the other 1 was worried about his life. At the end of the day they both were just glad they survived. Even the lady sounds like as she's telling the story she realizes how miniscule her luggage was compared to the situation that was happening around her that would forever change her life.
It is also crazy to me realizing now how accurately James Cameron got his movie hearing them talk about the band playing music. Even then playing with the ice on deck after the iceberg was hit.
I looked after one of the survivors, she was 18/20 months old when the rest of her family went down. She was a wonderful lady right to the end. X

The one with the taxidermy pig? Taxidermy is kind of creepy. Norman Bates was a taxidermist.
Can you imagine the sound of crashing furniture and dishs.😳
Her name is Edith Russell. The pig was a music box gifted by her mother as a lucky charm after a road accident in 1911. There is a longer interview of her talking about her experience in another video.
It's heart wrenching to watch everyone waving as the ship leaves.

I’ve heard stories about people saying they were about to board the titanic but ended up going on another ship. That just gives me chills. Imagine seeing what ended up happening and realizing if u decided to go on that ship u might not have made it out alive.
Or if they went it may have meant someone else could have died as they took their place on the lifeboat
Similar to those who were supposed to be on flights that crashed on 9/11 but had plans change
My grandfather was planning to board the ship Wilhelm Gustloff in WW2 the day it was sunk by torpedos. He spontaneously decided to go by train.
My whole life my grandma told me about how someone in our family actually had a ticket & never ended up boarding. The ticket still exists within my family & I hope one day to see it.
@@shakinram seth macfarlane was meant to be on one of those flights
James Cameron’s movie is one of the most beautiful movies ever made in the history. Outside of the small numbers of boat at their disposal, the third class should have been made aware of not being saved in case of a catastrophe. Maybe they would have not travelled with the Titanic. It must have been difficult to watch the ship drowning from afar and they were just not talking to each other because they didn’t know each other. As per the movie, the third class was interacting with each other, dancing together. They would have talked to each other on their safety boat.
The 3. class was not a majority in the safety boat…
No one there to speak to.
@@earlonaretthat’s not what he’s saying
That's the thing though, regulations and industry practice at the time was that lifeboats were not intended to carry every single occupant of the ship, but rather ferry people onto another ship that had arrived to rescue.
The thought was that overloaded lifeboats, especially on the open ocean, will capsize anyway or the occupants will succumb to exposure anyway if no rescue arrives, and that barring an extreme case most ships in distress only list or take one water partially and are in a condition to limp to port or be towed with a skeleton crew once the passengers have been offloaded to another ship.
So it wasn't that the third class were chosen not to be saved, it was that a fast sinking before rescue arrived was deemed so unlikely that it wasn't considered.
The Titanic disaster did change those regulations and also how ships communicate and organise rescue, rules about SOS messages were tightened and rescue flare meaning was made less ambiguous.
@@carmencarmen9489 uh, my bad. I didnt read it correctly, sorry!
@@G1NZOU That information is not true the Titanic owners simply violated the Safety standards of that era. The purpose of life boats are to simply saves lives. The Titanic had only 20 lifeboats. That's enough for only more than half of its passengers. According to Maurice Clarke the Titanic's safety officer. The Titanic needed to have had 10 more lifeboats. The owners knew this but still refused. They wanted to depart on time and, they didn't want the lifeboats to spoil the view on deck. The Titanic Owners simply lied and, threatened there safety officer into silence. This new info has just recently resurfaced. Therefore the death of so many lives were due to illegal actives of the arrogant rich.🤔😥
Ocean Gate Expedition disaster brought me here. Rest in peace for those on board and for the Titanic passengers. May they all find peace.

A short information about the old lady:
Edith Louise Rosenbaum Russell was an American fashion buyer, stylist and correspondent for Women's Wear Daily, best remembered for surviving the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic with a music box in the shape of a pig. Wikipedia
Born: June 12, 1879, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Died: April 4, 1975, London, United Kingdom
96? Whoa.
Was it really a music box though? It almost looks like an old taxidermy job...I was wondering if the pig was alive when thrown...Like a mini pig maybe...
Incredible.
Awww she died 5 years after this interview was made😢💔 rip Edith
So she was born just a few years after the American civil war, survived the titanic, two world wars and saw a man land on the moon....amazing.
survivors from all walks of life proving that no matter how we live, we all face death the same way
Absolutely incredible that there were any survivors at all let alone video interviews with some of them.
this lady and the two men make you imagine what people in 1912 was like, the way they talk, the way they look like, they are the perfect picture of the past

No one knew the outcome of tragic event that was about to happen .
Sorry but you don't know what you're talking about.

Rescue ships were on its way. However they were several hundred miles away, and reached the Titanic’s location went it was already on the sea floor.
I can’t remember which ship was the first to make it though, but I know that it came 1 hour and 40 minutes after it’s sinking.
If they would have been paying attention at the station they would have been ...sad
The woman is Ms.Edith Russell. I’ve seen her in other interviews and gives me the feeling of a straight forward yet honest and tough as nails woman. Something about the story grabs us all. Such a loss of life that should never have happened.

@@harpsailorharp6716ggthis tale is one of the largest and darkest conspiracies of our time
What struck me most was the crew member despatched to row the lifeboat saying that none of the women or children on board spoke at all - because they didn't know each other. The lady said that she found the ship very formal and not at all convivial and it seems that convention forbid them from talking to people they didn't know, even during rescue from a disaster!
imagine surviving that nightmare and then having someone make you look at that picture in the back.
I was thinking the same thing.
Literally my first thought as well. Why parade their tragedy???
Like jesus coming back and seeing crosses
Yeah, that was pretty insensitive.
“When they threw that pig, well I knew It was my mother calling” … What an odd remark. Caught me off guard. I’ve never heard such a sentence In my life
How is it not a meme?
The toy, paper mache pig was a good luck mascot given by her mother, after Edith was involved in a car crash the previous year. Edith had promised her mother that she would always keep it with her. If she hadn't gone after the toy pig, she would have died. For her, it was her mother calling for her to get in that boat.
By twisting the pigs tail, Edith would play the pigs musical box to drown out the sounds of the dying and for the long, cold seven hours they awaited for rescue, Edith would continuously play the pigs musical box to stop the children from crying and keep them entertained.

@@Eric-eh7vg 😂😂😂 it’s the best quote I heard all year. Should be meme for sure
I had to rewind when I heard that. I was like “a pig? Why was there a pig on the titanic? And why does that mean her mother was calling her?” So damn confused 😂 I understand now, glad she jumped after her pig. Should defo be a meme.
Ocean Gate sure sent me down a rabbit hole
Thank you for posting. This is fascinating.
My relative, Nelly walcroft, was a Titanic survivor. The letter she wrote (available online) post rescue is truly harrowing.
We Recently visited an exhibition in Worcester where we managed to narrow down using her letter what lifeboat she was in.
A very humbling experience.
I just read about your relative Nelly! What a story! Thank god she survived. She was in 2nd class and they didn't think much of the 2nd and 3 RF class people. Such arrogance! Surprised Astor didn't make it since he was so upper crust. Sad the men had to wait but manners and courtesy were the rule then.
Where is the letter located? Would love to read it. Incredible legacy
@@thesilversurfer7136 In fact a number of what would be termed "super wealthy" men gave up their positions in boats so that others could live. They were a different breed to today's new rich.

Yes, he did ignore warnings about ice and speed, but that was extremely common among experienced captains at the time. Again, Edward Smith wasn't even in charge at the time of the sinking. Robert Hichens was at the helm.

For me the true tragedy were the passengers in the lower decks who had no chance. Their stories of the voyage would be truely eye opening.

@@moski9861 your welcome matey
This is random, but I've seen the traveling Titanic exhibit twice. They'll give you a passenger slip at the beginning, and at the end you see whether or not you were among the survivors. Both times I was among the deceased which doesn't really surprise me, but it is so heartbreaking to visually see the list of names of all those who perished. I have always been fascinated with the Titanic from a young age. My Meemaw was alive when Titanic happened and I wish I asked her about any memories she had of that time. Such a tragedy.
I’ve done the same thing. Super eerie
I saw the exhibit in Las Vegas, it was amazing. P.S. I was a survivor.
My great grandmother was born in 1906 and was from Sweden. Her name was Fauma. When I was 8 years old, a year before she died, I asked her if she remembered anything from 1912 and what happened with the Titanic. She told me that it was "very sad" and that her father and mother were very sad when they heard the news, and she was a little girl playing with her toys. I still think its crazy that she lived nearly 100 years. She saw the 21st century. She used to tell me a lot of stories about Sweden during World War 1. Crazy honestly when I think back to it. I'm nearly 25 now and I still remember some of her stories.
Yer p[hoto is trash...
Yeah me too I died once and survived once it is so sad
Grandma narrates as if the scenario took place last week 😢😢😢😢, articulated and full of memories....RIP the perfect one...
Millionaires in that time? I wonder what that was like. I'm sure millionaires in 1912 were actually billionaires
This is well before the wreck was discovered... How cool to see contemporary interviews.
Her room being so well sealed, if for some fluke they stayed so, as well as her trunks, I wonder if the trunks are down there preserved still?
Kathleen Norton probably
Kathleen Norton yes..must be..
@@kathleennorton6108 At the Titanic's depth, the pressure is over 6 tons per square inch.
Submarines for that depth have inches of titanium plate to keep it out, and any weakness results in the instantaneous death of the crew.
There is no trunk in the world that could seal from that pressure. Any amount of air would be forced out. It would rupture immediately.
@@DarthMeteos As i know pressure is much lower at that depth (around 2 tonnes).
From a 1970 documentary. The Lady of the Pig is Edith Russell. She was 32 at the time of the sinking. The pig is actually a wind-up music box. She led an interesting life, including as a front-line correspondent during WW 1. Wickedpedia has a very good article on her.

God: what did he saaaaayyyy???
Remember: lifeboats were suppose to carry at max 68 people. Many of them carried WAY less than that. Some carried 21, 17, 35, etc... Just sad that more lives could have been saved.
Poor organization, and for a time, they had difficulty finding people who were willing to trade the "safety" of the big ship for a spot in a little open boat rocking in the middle of the ocean.
Holy crap the Captain in the movie look just like the real Captain!
It’s quite sickening to this day to know that the decision of whether you had a shot of survival depending on your economic status. This disaster wasn’t just a wake up call for maritime safety, it was a wake up call to not judge life based on bank account.
Sad thing is the lifted boy that she talks about he most likely died. Because he was part of the crew an he was 14. Back then 13 or older wasn't considered a child
His name was Arthur Barrett, he was a 1st class lift attendant and his father I believe was a baker on the ship, and sadly yes, they both perished
If she had 19 trunks she was doing pretty damn well back then
Well yeah, most of them were filthy rich and the ones who weren't they locked up downstairs so they could get the "important" people off the ship first.
@@Sofia-bt4yo the man in the interview, who was on the Titanic clearly told you those below were not permitted on the first class level. the first class level was where the boats were stored, loaded and then lowered. Class was indeed what separated lives from access of the boats.
Wikipedia the story read that she failed to insure her trunks that were filled with couture (she was a fashion buyer/editor) designer goods that were to be models for future sales once in the States. Because the ship was unsinkable there was no reason to obtain insurance. Even without insurance, she prevailed and would later win in her lawsuit against White Star and it was said it was the highest pay out in all the losses the titanic was responsible for. EUREKA that had to have been some dresses! ~ do read the story you will enjoy the details I don't have time or space to convey. She lead quite a life and would pass in 1975 at 95.
@@b.walker5955 The fact is that the lifeboats were stored forward on the Boat Deck in the 1st Class promenade area and astern in the 2nd Class promenade area. That obviously gave those passengers an advantage in reaching those boats. 3rd Class passengers were segregated from the rest of the ship below decks in order to comply with U.S. immigration restrictions. There were ways for them to reach the Boat Deck and some of them found those - just not nearly enough! Once they reached the Boat Deck, though, women and children were permitted to enter the boats with no class prejudice.

Olympic (unseaworthy) was scuttled having a Titanic nameplate attached, for an insurance claim ($21 Million). White Star-line was owned by J.P. Morgan, facing bankruptcy, plus a coal miners strike in 1912 restricted ocean Liner travel. The Californian who's only cargo was wooly jumpers {basically empty} left the previous day & waited to pick up the Titanic passengers. Typical incompetence caused the Captain of the Californian not to recognize the Titanic & thus ignored its distress signals. After a court trial the Captain of the Californian, was never allowed to Captain another ship. The Iceberg is a Big Lie Pure & Simple.
