You can't be much of a Titanic expert when you don't even know that it was Californian, not California, that was laid up for the night somewhere nearby.
Thank you, also called "The Olympic" "Olympia" and said 5 water tight compartments were flooded when it was 6. Not trying to be overly critical but get your facts right if you expect to be respected as a historian.
Also, they say they don't know why they didn't have binoculars, and also that they "just left them behind in the hustle and bustle"... I thought it was pretty well established that some of the crew got switched up right before the voyage, and the guy that had the key to the locker with the binoculars got removed and just forgot to leave the key.
My youngest son, asked me what the word "chivalry" meant. I told him the story of the band playing to calm passengers left behind. Despite being in the same situation themselves. As a musician myself, that story always effected me.
@@stevewheatley243 that's exactly what they did...they knew that they were more women and children than the lifeboats could carry...so they never even attempted to find a seat...and kept playing, hoping to keep panicking to a minimum. The same as the world's richest and powerful men...John J Astor, Gugganheim, and others...they went down in style...many forcing their wives and kids onto lifeboats, promising to see them soon, even when they knew that was never gonna happen.
Well then you told your son the wrong meaning of that word lol. That’s not an example of chivalry. That is more along the line of honor, bravery or professionalism/noble behavior. Chivalry, by definition, is very polite, honest, and kind behavior, especially by men toward women
Do your research. I'm from Belfast. My Great Uncle was a Coal Trimmer on Titanic. 6 bulk heads were flooded by the Ice Berg, Did you test the rivets from the wreck. The Titanic was the Queen. Like I build Adam now Eve. They put the best into Titanic. Those workers in Harland and Wolf were amazing. They were experts.
Much incorrect info in this documentary. Olympic, Titanic's sister ship was built first and put into service first. It was the flagship for the White Star Line of the Olympic class ship, not the Titanic. The space where Titanic was built normally held three ships, held both the Olympic and Titanic while being built. Not just the Titanic. it is my understanding that "Shipbuilder Magazine" initially referred to Titanic as "unsinkable".
These “historians” have embarrassingly little knowledge. The reason softer iron rivets were used on the bow and stern was because they had to be pounded in by hand. The riveting machine was able to be used on the flat sides to install the steel rivets, but couldn’t negotiate the curved surfaces. They had binoculars. They were locked in a cabinet and one of the officers who didn’t go on the voyage neglected to hand over the key to the cabinet. SOS doesn’t stand for anything unless you want to imagine it does. It’s simply ... - - - ... in Morse code. Easy to remember, easy to recognize, and fast to key.
Thank you for the correct information. The binoculars would have made zero difference if they had them in crows nest. The calm black sea, clear night and intense cold, they wouldn’t have seen it. If they were on top of the iceberg with the naked eye, those binoculars wouldn’t have seen it either.
I agree. I am not a historian, just a person who has always been drawn to the story of the Titanic, and I've watched lots if documentaries on it. Even I know that the binoculars were on the ship, locked up in a locker & the key was taken accidentally by a crew member who was no longer needed for that voyager & left the ship before it left the dock.
@@haroldofcardboard Well Harold, I only know what I know from watching historical documentaries. Of course that doesn't mean they didn't get the historical facts wrong. But I certainly don't get offended when I am wrong about something like this. The funny thing to me is that you tell everyone that they are wrong, but then fail to offer up any knowledge that you have on the matter! LOL!!!
It is only interesting because they had a lot of time before the ship sank and only half the people would be chosen to live. Normally with disasters, it’s a quick death, and it’s random who lives and who dies. To prove my point, name the ship that over 9000 died?

Wow. I’ve been binging shipwrecks and this channel is a gold mine for Titanic features. Regardless of generation, it’s always instilled mystery as evidenced by the wide range of years these films came out.
This is misleading and factually incorrect. The rivets were not sub standard, nor did at any point they cut corners. The rivets used were perfectly adequate for the time and in fact we’re actually considered the best available for the technology of the day.
Not true metalologists have done a lot of research on this. They have also been to look at the shipyard's records. They used the best ones for much of the ship grade 4 e.g. the front where they considered an impact would happen ...but grade 3 for the bow and other parts.
Not to mention that it wasn't allegedly water tight, it was. Physics are a thing. Also it was never billed as unsinkable. And that's where I bailed on this sensationalized POS
@@emmam-rr8qe that has no bearing on them being below standard or used outside of normal shipbuilding procedures of the time. At the time it was built both the make and usage of those rivets in Atlantic liners was big standard. Sadly I don't think anyone learned anything from Titanic as this comment illustrates. The flaw with Titanic was the belief that human ingenuity and science could render sea travel risk less. In searching for the " what science/the officers/standards/rivets/plating/environment did wrong" implies that it could have been forseen and avoided and we could still today prevent such a thing from happening. That's hubris. The only problem was everything was set up with the expectation that she would remain afloat long enough for rescue... That tech would prevent her foundering prematurely, that tech would ensure her rescue and tech would optimize her survival. It never accounted for acts of God and how that would have to be handled. We still believe such today but in the idea that more regulations and training and devices and engineering can prevent all accidents instead of accepting our vulnerability and planning for that.
Made it about 6 minutes in. They didn't go with #3 because they were cheaper for the bow and stern, they used #3 in those areas because the machine used for #4 rivets didn't fit. They also didn't have more lifeboats because the law at the time was 16 for vessels over 10 tons. Titanic actually went over that and had 20, of which there was only time to launch 18. Lifeboats at the time were to ferry people from a sinking boat to a safe one. They weren't meant to float in the middle of the ocean and wait for rescue. WSL didn't cut corners or try to save money on the Olympic class ships. Harland & Wolff were one of the leading shipyards of the time.
What’s really interesting is there was a book that was published 14 years BEFORE the Titanic sank titled “Futility” which was a fictional story about a ship named The Titan which hit an iceberg and sank. It was an unintentional prediction of the Titanic disaster. Now, that’s scary!
It was 1000% intentionally done, the book, and the sinking of the ship. 3 of the wealthiest men of the time who all opposed the creation of the federal reserve were on the ship. The federal reserve was created the next year. JP Morgan knew what was going to happen that’s why he didn’t board the ship. Everything is staged and the world is non rotating flat and stationary and NASA admits this countless w
Yes. And back then it didn't get as much attention as documentaries state. There werent even nany photos taken. It was the secons to launch so old news.
So they are back to the rivets....... i remember 20 years ago when the rivets where braught up, tested, and found to be quite good even by todays standards, so these guys saying it was a Domino effect using inferior materials........ come on, the ice berg impacting the hull had 10s of thousands of pounds per inch, nothing could take that! and titanic was said to be built like a battleship, like they were built back then, a modern day ship vs that iceberg the iceberg probably would cut through it like tinfoil
Poor people are still treated terribly in 2021. If you don't believe me, try being homeless without a car for three days and notice how hard it is to sleep anywhere and how much one's mind struggles after only missing a few days of good rest. If you really want to know how the poor are treated, keep living on the street until the police come because, believe me, they will. Then compare how you are treated by the police and the community at large when they think you aren't a homeless person in abject poverty. I challenge anyone to try this and see if it doesn't open your eyes to things that are going on in society that you never even had the smallest notion were occurring but I warn you that it's horrifying and yet important if we're going to do something different with regards to our attitude towards our fellow living beings.
You are absolutely 💯% dead on. Even worse when you're a survivor of abuse and trauma, have Complex PTSD and bipolar becuse of it, and have no or crappy insurance. Then they want to wonder why people commit suicide or do other horrible things. The sad part, it doesn't have to be like that. Humans suck. We can so easily fix our social problems, but greed and selfishness reign Supreme. Along with most don't care what happens to people, until it happens to them, or someome they love.
Humans treat the poor much better than other species. Natural Selection states that those that are unable to look after themselves are supposed to die to improve the gene pool, but humans in most cases do not allow that to happen. You should be grateful, not complaining.
The sinking was a terrible event that happened in 1912. You can see right at the end how emotional one of the historians got. A lot of events that played out that led up to it. Ships are wonderful pieces of transportation, but operating such a great big boat, you have to really be on your toes due to that if you get it up to over 25 miles an hour in the ocean, it doesn't want to slow down. My grandmother had a friend who bought a ticket to sail onboard the ship. Back then when the ship was new, the laws only were for how much you could load onto a ship when it came to lifeboats. Shortly after the disaster, there were sweeping changes in ship operation. No more speeding in poor weather conditions, the radio had to also be used for weather as well as transmitting personal telegrams, enough lifeboats for everybody and lifeboat drills. When I went on a cruise, and had to change to a different level of the ship to get to the muster station, I chose NOT to take the elevator. That is because, if the ship I was on started to sink, I wouldn't want to be trapped inside an elevator. On the Lusitania, some girls tried to get to the lifeboat on an elevator, the power went out on the elevator and they were trapped.
@@Dagrizzb Indeed! You can see when David Gallo gave his last word in this video that he was getting upset and crying. I don't blame him. When you get some people that were sworn to serve the passengers regardless of class, and they mess up big time, the loss of life can be severe!
This is why the owner cannot skimp on the lifeboats and the captain cannot speed through the ice field. And why the bridge officers should share a pair of binoculars with the lookouts. It's hubris, condescension, pride, ridiculousness.
This is full of much this information… For example the rivets were not of poor quality. And I heard 10 things that were wrong before they got to that. There is a book called “On a sea of glass” That is gospel when it comes to the titanic
@@billythekid3234 the hand driven rivets were not made of steel. Yes some did have a higher content of slag in them, BUT they were subject to a stress level, higher than could ever be imagined.
I mean no disrespect to this channel as there is lot of great material here, but this documentary is awful. It’s filled with inaccuracies and misinformation. A lot of this has been discussed already, but there was nothing out of the ordinary about the rivets; they were standard for the day. The supposed conversation between Captain Smith and the first class passenger about the ice berg warning has never been mentioned in any reputable book, documentary or otherwise. There was never a worker entombed in the hull. Ever. This never happened. I could go on and on. No disrespect to you Mark, but I’d probably remove this video.
Another unfounded and actually absurd comment about the Californian. They had one Marconi operator. He wasn't suppose to man the set 24/7. He DID get a very RUDE response from Titanic but he merely turned in for the night as per usual. He wasn't dissing Titantic. People who should know better will never stop with this endless barrage of nonsense. I guess they'll sya whatever they think will get them even a 3 second sound bite on a 3rd rate Documentary.
This doc is pretty old though, right? People did not have access to digital research means... I think that's why these "experts" get away with so much misinformation and factual errors..... Just my amateur's opinion.
"As a result of observing Olympic in the storm, which turned out to be one of the worst of her career, Harland & Wolff decided to make a number of refinements, including changes to Number 1 Hatch. On 13 th. February 1912, Francis Carruthers, Ship Surveyor to the Board of Trade at Belfast, also reported that the shipbuilder was making changes to Titanic as aresult of her older sister’s experience. They were fitting a one-inch-thick steel ‘strap’ on the port and starboard sides of the ship ‘in way of no.6 boiler room and extending three frame spaces forward of the watertight bulkhead at the forward end of the boiler room.’ The strap extended from frame 63 to frame 81 at the landing of strakes J and K, at the ‘upper turn of the bilge.’ At this area, the hull frames were spaced thirty-six inches apart (the furthest distance between frames throughout the entire ship)." ...... "the Board of Trade decided to take the opportunity to examine Olympic when she was drydocked for the replacement of a port propeller blade. Accordingly, Carruthers made a detailed inspection and reported on 6 March 1912.The Board were concerned that there might be other signs of stress, beyond the specific riveted joints which they knew were being modified. Carruthers’ report allayed those fears: Below the waterline starboard side forward in way of no. 6 boiler room in the shell landing of J & K strakes from frame 63 to 74, about 160 rivets were slack and were drilled out and & renewed." Board of Trade. Consultative Document LL No. 22818 refers. th-cam.com/video/ExYGQkgaNV4/w-d-xo.html 0:17:19 mins. in.
The whole idea of life boats at the time was another ship would be there to ferry passengers on to. There was a coal strike at the time. there should have been other ships out there.
I had to stop watching this "documentary" because I was becoming incensed by all of the inaccuracies, pure fiction being put forth as fact, and supposed Titanic EXPERTS referring to the Californian as the California and the Olympic as the Olympia. Absolutely appalling trash, and utterly disrespectful to every aspect of the horrific tragedy that night.
I always think that in my earlier birth i died with titanic. I love titanic, i have lot of affection towards the ship of dreams... The Royal Steamer Titanic 😊
Its really difficult to understand the huge number of ill omens that presented themselves that night ! Its almost as though, no matter what the crew did to avert such a possible tragedy during the voyage, It was going to sink to the bottom of the north Atlantic, regardless ! Speeding through an ice-field,No binoculars for the look outs, The nearest ship , the Californian, had switched off its wireless for the night, and Its Captain failed to investigate the reason for the rockets, If he had ordered the wireless operator to monitor the set, then He would have known the ship was in distress, and Captain Lord would have become the Hero of the hour. Too many fundamental errors were made on that fateful night.
rivets were done by machines on the sides (no curved part of ship) on the curved parts (hull stern) rivets were done by hand. no moon was visible that night, had set at 4:40pm. . binoculars were on board but locked up without key on board. running ships at close to high speed, thru this route, was standard procedure in this day and age. a ship was closer than the Californian, the Samson, which witnessed the sinking of Titanic from afar without helping because they were illegally whaling, afraid of being caught. survivors do NOT agree on what song was played last as Titanic sank. DONT kid yourself the class structure in 1912 is no different than today. just look how the rich and powerful, and what they get away with. SO MANY inaccuracies in this video. a ship
Love all the documentaries.. but this one does annoy me. The rivet nonsense is just nonsense. The bit about the man being entombed is nonsense too. Still enjoy tho, thanks Mark
Hello HRC, I enjoy sharing and preserving the Titanic documentaries / films for all to see and for you to make up your own mind on what happened with the events. I try to stay away from the switch theories with the Titanic and Olympic.
@@titanicfilmsbymark well anyone with any basic knowledge of the Titanic will know the switch theory is utter nonsense and abide only held by brainless morons.
I'm with you on that, it's irritating that rivet theory still has traction. Titanic was an incredibly well made vessel. It was built to the best of human ability at the time. The rivets weren't the problem. Striking a massive iceberg that might as well have been pure granite was the problem.
So many anecdotes and things that frame the crew and the wireless operators, as well as the ship builders and even captain smith as all incompetent. Almost all these breakdowns of highly personal encounters all sound made up to a degree. Im aware we learned many things from the survivors, but some of these “historians” are kind of seeming like they are just making stuff up. Let’s take it for what it is, A missed warning (a big mistake) Some callous nature Acting too late
I read once, that had Captain Smith been less paralyzed by fear, he might have ordered many of the stateroom doors be taken off their hinges and thrown into the water, for people to catch hold of and use as makeshift life rafts, and that might have saved more lives. However, we know that the temperature of the water was so cold that it may not have made any difference. We're in another period of "wretched excess" right now: It's only a matter of time when some of these ultra-wealthy space tourists explode in a rocket. The only good news there is, they won't be taking a lot of the working class / third class passengers with them.
Correction on the binos on Titanic. The binoculars were stashed in a locker in the crow's nest -- where they were most needed -- but the key to the locker wasn't on board. That's because a sailor named David Blair, who was reassigned to another ship at the last minute, forgot to leave the key behind when he left. The key was in Blair's pocket.
Colter Brog: Your statement is so true and often overlooked by filmmakers of so-called "historians." Many just slap a documentary or movie together without verifying the facts!
I am very distressed that the nearest ship to Titanic is repeatedly referred to as the "CALIFORNIA," just after the 37:35 mark, and also at 37:42, and several instances earlier, when Wikipedia, and all the other histories of Titanic I've read, state the name of the nearby ship was actually "CALIFORNIAN." I wouldn't write about this, except that it happens so frequently that I had to go back and research it again, in case I was wrong. I wasn't. It makes a difference! Separately, earlier in the narrative, an expert says that "Titanic was "TAUNTED" as unsinkable, when the phrase he was trying to use was "TOUTED." These speech errors should be corrected at least in chyron writing, so that the viewers will know exactly what the facts are.
No point worrying about facts while watching this David. So many fallacies and mistakes that you can't take it seriously. It's just mediocre entertainment at this point. Not the uploaders fault though.
The whole documentary is full of errors and conjecture. SOS doesn't stand for "Save our souls" it is used as it is easy to remember and easy to transmit and CQD doesn't stand for "Come quick, disaster" either. If they're perpetuating these errors, how much else have they got wrong?
The Olympic didn't gain the name of Old Reliable for nothing. Harland and Wolfe were quality builders. Best thing is don't hit an iceberg with 44 thousand tonne ship.
The make of the steel or rivets has no bearing on the problem that caused the ship to sink. The number one problem was the captain pressured by higher ups to run as fast as you can, even if its dark out and iceberg warnings. Thats is the only reason why she sank, sunk, drop to the bottom of the ocean.😢 No matter if its a ship of today and hit an iceberg like the titanic did ot would sink, too. Look at concordia. Hit the reef and sank, sunk. If it didn’t get hung up on the reef she would be at the bottom of the ocean.
The materials logs clearly show the type of rivets that were used on the titanic and #3 were used on the side of the bow and #4 in other areas. they are available to view for the nay sayers saying Islam did not cut corners.
Gee this is kinda outdated nowadays. The rivets were not bad the same rivets worked real well on the Olympic for 30 years. Hell they’re still in place on the titanic Wreck. They never said unsinkable the phrase as h sinkable as ships can be built was used once and in no promos
The guy that had a key to a storage room that held the binoculars was told last minute he wouldn't be sailing on titanic, they forgot to get the key, but because it was clear weather they figured didn't need them anyway, imagine that, instead of just breaking the lock they blew it off basically. ?????????????
Yes, and they were right. Binoculars at the time were not remotely the high quality they are today. The deciding factor isn't even magnification, it is the light or rather how much light they let through. It was a dark, moonless night and a "sea of glass". Binoculars would not have done anything to help here, on the contrary, they might have been a hindrance. They would have stared into nothing but a black nothingness looking through them. Similar to most people saying "If only they have had more life boats!" then what? They didn't even manage to release the life boats they had in time, what good would more life boats been? They'd cluttered the deck more, making the evacuation more difficult, probably. With Titanic, there is more to it than meets the eye...
Lol I think he was just using that as a way of feeling how cold that water was, if someone actually wanted to for some dumb reason. There actually are people who take ice baths for 10-15 minutes.....but any longer and it's a very bad day.
I have observed in the USA right now many are being considered steerage not really worth living..so nothing has changed and i ponder what will it take for us to value all life?
I'd be interested to see how long it would take for the biggest cruise ship as of 2021 to sink? I mean if the biggest cruise ship was in the situation where it would sink one way or another
How so? It may have changed the ratio of lives saved but how would it have saved more lives? It was also a time where men were chivalrous, the touching thing is that so many honourable men knowingly gave up their own lives for those of their wives and children.
@@Dostoevskys_Quill Well...I can see how that can be true....but not in great numbers. some of the wives didn't want to leave their husbands so they never didn't get in the lifeboat, they could've had children too. I'm sure Ida Straus's wasn't the only one to stay on board. If the men were allowed to get in the lifeboats, those wives and kids would have got in as well. What they did was chivalrous, but it didn't have to be that way. Plus the vast majority of the lifeboats were no where near their full capacity, especially in the beginning. Those empty seats could have been filled by men, which were on the boat deck. Lightoller wouldn't let a man into the boats because he took Smiths' order as "women and children only" not "women and children first, then fill the remaining seats with men." Murdoch allowed men on his side of the deck when if there were no other women around.
Actually, a huge section of the keel was torn away, and found in a place far from the wreck. This ship DID NOT hit an iceberg. Passenger Manifest? This was a Terrorist act brought to you by the soon to be CENTRAL BANK!!! Note the date it happened. Patents circa 1912 regarding "Torpedoes". Might wanna take a lesson on "cognitive dissonance" while you're at it.
@@timothyreed8417 It was a msm doc that was made about a decade ago. I think it was actually the History channel, or AE. Even so It was a submersible, and the deal is, the huge piece of keel they found far away from the rest of the ship had to have been hit with FORCE enough to move it as far as it did 'before' it started to sink.. The size it is, there's no way it got there according to the LAWS of physics. Hell, they didn't even know it existed until this very Doc I'm speaking about. Remember, this was all done before this AWAKENING the world is undergoing right now (CENSORSHIP). Regardless, I'm sure there are MANY others who remember the Doc.. Try finding it 👍
What is worst of all about that ragic disaster is the first and second class got the right to board the lifeboats before the third class. If anyone had to survive, it had to be the selfish, greedy, vile first class 🤬 Everyone on that ship was a life, a human being deserving of life and saving. Shameful
Amateur Historian's, the Myth of a Worker Entombed in Titanic, During Construction is a False Fact, .... Whereas 8Builders lost their life During Construction, None were Entombed in the Ships Hull, its an Urban Legend, these Guys Clearly haven't done Research, via Harland and Wolffe, or Cultra Folk and Transport Museum, to which would House all these Details, let alone the Decendants of Builders never made this Claim, Poor Research 🙄 and 14Thousand men in the Yard help Piece the Ship Together, 3Million Rivets
"They immediately *radio* the officers at the helm" (among many other pieces of misinformation)? This film is a study in errors and a bit of a hack job, but it's useful for refining knowledge of the truth.
Im not sure what this is as it seems to have a decidedly different narrative than literally every other current and up to date Titanic. like the binoculars, the telegraph the weather all outdated info
You can't be much of a Titanic expert when you don't even know that it was Californian, not California, that was laid up for the night somewhere nearby.
Thank you, also called "The Olympic" "Olympia" and said 5 water tight compartments were flooded when it was 6. Not trying to be overly critical but get your facts right if you expect to be respected as a historian.
Also, they say they don't know why they didn't have binoculars, and also that they "just left them behind in the hustle and bustle"... I thought it was pretty well established that some of the crew got switched up right before the voyage, and the guy that had the key to the locker with the binoculars got removed and just forgot to leave the key.
There are many additional errors beyond that one

It is conveniently forgotten that the same techniques were used to build Olympic - which didn't sink.

This is misleading and factually incorrect. The rivets were not sub standard, nor did at any point they cut corners. The rivets used were perfectly adequate for the time and in fact we’re actually considered the best available for the technology of the day.
Not true metalologists have done a lot of research on this. They have also been to look at the shipyard's records. They used the best ones for much of the ship grade 4 e.g. the front where they considered an impact would happen ...but grade 3 for the bow and other parts.

@@emmam-rr8qe that has no bearing on them being below standard or used outside of normal shipbuilding procedures of the time. At the time it was built both the make and usage of those rivets in Atlantic liners was big standard.
Sadly I don't think anyone learned anything from Titanic as this comment illustrates. The flaw with Titanic was the belief that human ingenuity and science could render sea travel risk less. In searching for the " what science/the officers/standards/rivets/plating/environment did wrong" implies that it could have been forseen and avoided and we could still today prevent such a thing from happening. That's hubris.
The only problem was everything was set up with the expectation that she would remain afloat long enough for rescue... That tech would prevent her foundering prematurely, that tech would ensure her rescue and tech would optimize her survival. It never accounted for acts of God and how that would have to be handled. We still believe such today but in the idea that more regulations and training and devices and engineering can prevent all accidents instead of accepting our vulnerability and planning for that.
What year is this from? I am fascinated by how clueless these talking heads are about the actual facts of the Titanic's life and death.
Made it about 6 minutes in. They didn't go with #3 because they were cheaper for the bow and stern, they used #3 in those areas because the machine used for #4 rivets didn't fit. They also didn't have more lifeboats because the law at the time was 16 for vessels over 10 tons. Titanic actually went over that and had 20, of which there was only time to launch 18. Lifeboats at the time were to ferry people from a sinking boat to a safe one. They weren't meant to float in the middle of the ocean and wait for rescue. WSL didn't cut corners or try to save money on the Olympic class ships. Harland & Wolff were one of the leading shipyards of the time.
What’s really interesting is there was a book that was published 14 years BEFORE the Titanic sank titled “Futility” which was a fictional story about a ship named The Titan which hit an iceberg and sank. It was an unintentional prediction of the Titanic disaster. Now, that’s scary!
The world is a stage, my friend.
It was 1000% intentionally done, the book, and the sinking of the ship. 3 of the wealthiest men of the time who all opposed the creation of the federal reserve were on the ship. The federal reserve was created the next year. JP Morgan knew what was going to happen that’s why he didn’t board the ship. Everything is staged and the world is non rotating flat and stationary and NASA admits this countless w
If the world is a stage, that book could have been used as the basis of a script for their 1912 production.
So many documentary and films were made about this ship. Titanic must be the world's most famous ship. That's because it sank.
It's a beautiful ship as well
Yes. And back then it didn't get as much attention as documentaries state. There werent even nany photos taken. It was the secons to launch so old news.
So they are back to the rivets....... i remember 20 years ago when the rivets where braught up, tested, and found to be quite good even by todays standards, so these guys saying it was a Domino effect using inferior materials........ come on, the ice berg impacting the hull had 10s of thousands of pounds per inch, nothing could take that! and titanic was said to be built like a battleship, like they were built back then, a modern day ship vs that iceberg the iceberg probably would cut through it like tinfoil
Moreover, Olympic was built by the same yard of the same materials, and was a successful liner until withdrawn in 1934.
A scary shocking but very interesting account of the ship hitting the iceberg and the sinking
Poor people are still treated terribly in 2021. If you don't believe me, try being homeless without a car for three days and notice how hard it is to sleep anywhere and how much one's mind struggles after only missing a few days of good rest. If you really want to know how the poor are treated, keep living on the street until the police come because, believe me, they will. Then compare how you are treated by the police and the community at large when they think you aren't a homeless person in abject poverty. I challenge anyone to try this and see if it doesn't open your eyes to things that are going on in society that you never even had the smallest notion were occurring but I warn you that it's horrifying and yet important if we're going to do something different with regards to our attitude towards our fellow living beings.
You are absolutely 💯% dead on. Even worse when you're a survivor of abuse and trauma, have Complex PTSD and bipolar becuse of it, and have no or crappy insurance. Then they want to wonder why people commit suicide or do other horrible things. The sad part, it doesn't have to be like that. Humans suck. We can so easily fix our social problems, but greed and selfishness reign Supreme. Along with most don't care what happens to people, until it happens to them, or someome they love.
Totally agree with you, been there, the stress is unbelievable.
Humans treat the poor much better than other species. Natural Selection states that those that are unable to look after themselves are supposed to die to improve the gene pool, but humans in most cases do not allow that to happen. You should be grateful, not complaining.
A lot of people don't know an iceberg is 90per cent under water, lol didn't learn much but think knew that by age of 6
The sinking was a terrible event that happened in 1912. You can see right at the end how emotional one of the historians got. A lot of events that played out that led up to it. Ships are wonderful pieces of transportation, but operating such a great big boat, you have to really be on your toes due to that if you get it up to over 25 miles an hour in the ocean, it doesn't want to slow down. My grandmother had a friend who bought a ticket to sail onboard the ship. Back then when the ship was new, the laws only were for how much you could load onto a ship when it came to lifeboats. Shortly after the disaster, there were sweeping changes in ship operation. No more speeding in poor weather conditions, the radio had to also be used for weather as well as transmitting personal telegrams, enough lifeboats for everybody and lifeboat drills. When I went on a cruise, and had to change to a different level of the ship to get to the muster station, I chose NOT to take the elevator. That is because, if the ship I was on started to sink, I wouldn't want to be trapped inside an elevator. On the Lusitania, some girls tried to get to the lifeboat on an elevator, the power went out on the elevator and they were trapped.
Thank you for sharing
Imagine the energy and mass of a ship such a size of the Titanic moving at 25mph.
@@Dagrizzb Indeed! You can see when David Gallo gave his last word in this video that he was getting upset and crying. I don't blame him. When you get some people that were sworn to serve the passengers regardless of class, and they mess up big time, the loss of life can be severe!
Didn’t they send CQD before they did SOS?
Ships aren't designed to hit 200,000 ton icebergs
This is why the owner cannot skimp on the lifeboats and the captain cannot speed through the ice field. And why the bridge officers should share a pair of binoculars with the lookouts. It's hubris, condescension, pride, ridiculousness.
This is full of much this information… For example the rivets were not of poor quality. And I heard 10 things that were wrong before they got to that. There is a book called “On a sea of glass” That is gospel when it comes to the titanic
sOME OF THE RIVETS WERE NOT THE BEST, I WATCHED THE SHOW ON THEM,,,, THEY DID TEST THEM AND FOUND SOME HAD LESS STEEL AND MORE SLAO AS THEY JUST SAID.
@@billythekid3234 the hand driven rivets were not made of steel. Yes some did have a higher content of slag in them, BUT they were subject to a stress level, higher than could ever be imagined.
I mean no disrespect to this channel as there is lot of great material here, but this documentary is awful. It’s filled with inaccuracies and misinformation. A lot of this has been discussed already, but there was nothing out of the ordinary about the rivets; they were standard for the day. The supposed conversation between Captain Smith and the first class passenger about the ice berg warning has never been mentioned in any reputable book, documentary or otherwise. There was never a worker entombed in the hull. Ever. This never happened. I could go on and on. No disrespect to you Mark, but I’d probably remove this video.
Another unfounded and actually absurd comment about the Californian. They had one Marconi operator. He wasn't suppose to man the set 24/7. He DID get a very RUDE response from Titanic but he merely turned in for the night as per usual. He wasn't dissing Titantic. People who should know better will never stop with this endless barrage of nonsense. I guess they'll sya whatever they think will get them even a 3 second sound bite on a 3rd rate Documentary.
This doc is pretty old though, right? People did not have access to digital research means... I think that's why these "experts" get away with so much misinformation and factual errors..... Just my amateur's opinion.
Yep
"As a result of observing Olympic in the storm, which turned out to be one of the worst of her career, Harland & Wolff decided to make a number of refinements, including changes to Number 1 Hatch. On 13 th. February 1912, Francis Carruthers, Ship Surveyor to the Board of Trade at Belfast, also reported that the shipbuilder was making changes to Titanic as aresult of her older sister’s experience. They were fitting a one-inch-thick steel ‘strap’ on the port and starboard sides of the ship ‘in way of no.6 boiler room and extending three frame spaces forward of the watertight bulkhead at the forward end of the boiler room.’ The strap extended from frame 63 to frame 81 at the landing of strakes J and K, at the ‘upper turn of the bilge.’ At this area, the hull frames were spaced thirty-six inches apart (the furthest distance between frames throughout the entire ship)."
...... "the Board of Trade decided to take the opportunity to examine Olympic when she was drydocked for the replacement of a port propeller blade. Accordingly, Carruthers made a detailed inspection and reported on 6 March 1912.The Board were concerned that there might be other signs of stress, beyond the specific riveted joints which they knew were being modified. Carruthers’ report allayed those fears: Below the waterline starboard side forward in way of no. 6 boiler room in the shell landing of J & K strakes from frame 63 to 74, about 160 rivets were slack and were drilled out and & renewed."

The whole idea of life boats at the time was another ship would be there to ferry passengers on to. There was a coal strike at the time. there should have been other ships out there.
A very interesting well told story about the disaster from beginning to end
I had to stop watching this "documentary" because I was becoming incensed by all of the inaccuracies, pure fiction being put forth as fact, and supposed Titanic EXPERTS referring to the Californian as the California and the Olympic as the Olympia. Absolutely appalling trash, and utterly disrespectful to every aspect of the horrific tragedy that night.
10:05 - there was nothing around that could compare to Titanic. I guess we are not gna mention the Olympic was the near identical older sister, lol.
The Olympic is the one on the bottom of the ocean.
I always think that in my earlier birth i died with titanic.
I love titanic, i have lot of affection towards the ship of dreams...
The Royal Steamer Titanic 😊
Its really difficult to understand the huge number of ill omens that presented themselves that night ! Its almost as though, no matter what the crew did to avert such a possible tragedy during the voyage, It was going to sink to the bottom of the north Atlantic, regardless ! Speeding through an ice-field,No binoculars for the look outs, The nearest ship , the Californian, had switched off its wireless for the night, and Its Captain failed to investigate the reason for the rockets, If he had ordered the wireless operator to monitor the set, then He would have known the ship was in distress, and Captain Lord would have become the Hero of the hour. Too many fundamental errors were made on that fateful night.
I was born many years after the Titanic sank
With regards to all those "Ill Omens", we have the clarity of 20-20 hindsight.
There’s some misinformation in this documentary. FYI
imagine had a photographers camera survived the sinking during that dreadful night.
This video has a lot of misinformation in it. The quality of steel wasn’t poor in fact it was the highest quality of day.
This doc is hella villianizing the crew....
rivets were done by machines on the sides (no curved part of ship) on the curved parts (hull stern) rivets were done by hand. no moon was visible that night, had set at 4:40pm. . binoculars were on board but locked up without key on board. running ships at close to high speed, thru this route, was standard procedure in this day and age. a ship was closer than the Californian, the Samson, which witnessed the sinking of Titanic from afar without helping because they were illegally whaling, afraid of being caught. survivors do NOT agree on what song was played last as Titanic sank. DONT kid yourself the class structure in 1912 is no different than today. just look how the rich and powerful, and what they get away with. SO MANY inaccuracies in this video. a ship
It was a night of utter horror for all onboard,God bless them
I wish ships still looked like floating palaces
Love all the documentaries.. but this one does annoy me. The rivet nonsense is just nonsense. The bit about the man being entombed is nonsense too. Still enjoy tho, thanks Mark
Hello HRC, I enjoy sharing and preserving the Titanic documentaries / films for all to see and for you to make up your own mind on what happened with the events. I try to stay away from the switch theories with the Titanic and Olympic.
👏👏👏👏
@@titanicfilmsbymark well anyone with any basic knowledge of the Titanic will know the switch theory is utter nonsense and abide only held by brainless morons.
I'm with you on that, it's irritating that rivet theory still has traction. Titanic was an incredibly well made vessel. It was built to the best of human ability at the time. The rivets weren't the problem. Striking a massive iceberg that might as well have been pure granite was the problem.
So many anecdotes and things that frame the crew and the wireless operators, as well as the ship builders and even captain smith as all incompetent. Almost all these breakdowns of highly personal encounters all sound made up to a degree. Im aware we learned many things from the survivors, but some of these “historians” are kind of seeming like they are just making stuff up.
Let’s take it for what it is,
A missed warning (a big mistake)
Some callous nature
Acting too late
Not a "cruise line".
The Olympic was unsinkable but her two younger sisters were not
Cobblers !!!
Olympic wasn’t classed as unsinkable
20:09 The ship scrapes the side of Titanic?
Its sad that so many people died when the titantic went down
I read once, that had Captain Smith been less paralyzed by fear, he might have ordered many of the stateroom doors be taken off their hinges and thrown into the water, for people to catch hold of and use as makeshift life rafts, and that might have saved more lives.
However, we know that the temperature of the water was so cold that it may not have made any difference.
We're in another period of "wretched excess" right now: It's only a matter of time when some of these ultra-wealthy space tourists explode in a rocket. The only good news there is, they won't be taking a lot of the working class / third class passengers with them.
There is a statue where I live in England of Captain Smith. He was a brave hero.
HOW WAS HE A HERO?
@@billythekid3234 By choosing to go to the bottom with the ship.
@@RealEarlofEssex no he was a conspirator and a fraud.
During the sinking it is said that captain Smith was saving a baby who was drowning
@@lawrencetuel2575 and its said before the iceberg hit earlier that night Captain Smith was getting drunk in the dining room
Correction on the binos on Titanic. The binoculars were stashed in a locker in the crow's nest -- where they were most needed -- but the key to the locker wasn't on board. That's because a sailor named David Blair, who was reassigned to another ship at the last minute, forgot to leave the key behind when he left. The key was in Blair's pocket.
WE ALL KNOW THAT

Colter Brog: Your statement is so true and often overlooked by filmmakers of so-called "historians." Many just slap a documentary or movie together without verifying the facts!
Stopped watching. Too many mistakes.
Fantastic.👀. documentary well done.🤔.
This is such an inaccurate narrative. It's almost a comedy. The only fact it got right is that a ship sank.
I am very distressed that the nearest ship to Titanic is repeatedly referred to as the "CALIFORNIA," just after the 37:35 mark, and also at 37:42, and several instances earlier, when Wikipedia, and all the other histories of Titanic I've read, state the name of the nearby ship was actually "CALIFORNIAN." I wouldn't write about this, except that it happens so frequently that I had to go back and research it again, in case I was wrong. I wasn't. It makes a difference!
Separately, earlier in the narrative, an expert says that "Titanic was "TAUNTED" as unsinkable, when the phrase he was trying to use was "TOUTED."
These speech errors should be corrected at least in chyron writing, so that the viewers will know exactly what the facts are.
No point worrying about facts while watching this David. So many fallacies and mistakes that you can't take it seriously. It's just mediocre entertainment at this point. Not the uploaders fault though.
The whole documentary is full of errors and conjecture. SOS doesn't stand for "Save our souls" it is used as it is easy to remember and easy to transmit and CQD doesn't stand for "Come quick, disaster" either. If they're perpetuating these errors, how much else have they got wrong?
@@geoffsayshello318Spot on.
May I have a request Mark?!
The Olympic didn't gain the name of Old Reliable for nothing. Harland and Wolfe were quality builders. Best thing is don't hit an iceberg with 44 thousand tonne ship.
The make of the steel or rivets has no bearing on the problem that caused the ship to sink.
The number one problem was the captain pressured by higher ups to run as fast as you can, even if its dark out and iceberg warnings.
Thats is the only reason why she sank, sunk, drop to the bottom of the ocean.😢
No matter if its a ship of today and hit an iceberg like the titanic did ot would sink, too.
Look at concordia. Hit the reef and sank, sunk. If it didn’t get hung up on the reef she would be at the bottom of the ocean.
19:25 Binoculars locked up and the person in charge of them had the key in his case when he went off shift and forgot to give them to his replacement.
He was let go and could have taken them on purpose, cause he was angry....who knows
Thank you Mark!
The materials logs clearly show the type of rivets that were used on the titanic and #3 were used on the side of the bow and #4 in other areas. they are available to view for the nay sayers saying Islam did not cut corners.
It’s a Shame that a Ship Like the Titanic fell to a collision with an Iceberg and the cause of so many deaths.
Even if there were enough lifeboats, the death toll would have been the same because they barely had time to launch the ones they had.
Gee this is kinda outdated nowadays.
The rivets were not bad the same rivets worked real well on the Olympic for 30 years. Hell they’re still in place on the titanic Wreck.
They never said unsinkable the phrase as h sinkable as ships can be built was used once and in no promos
20:08 "the ship scrapes the side of Titanic".......so it sunk itself??? 🤷♂️😄
The guy that had a key to a storage room that held the binoculars was told last minute he wouldn't be sailing on titanic, they forgot to get the key, but because it was clear weather they figured didn't need them anyway, imagine that, instead of just breaking the lock they blew it off basically. ?????????????
Yes, and they were right.
Binoculars at the time were not remotely the high quality they are today. The deciding factor isn't even magnification, it is the light or rather how much light they let through.
It was a dark, moonless night and a "sea of glass". Binoculars would not have done anything to help here, on the contrary, they might have been a hindrance. They would have stared into nothing but a black nothingness looking through them.
Similar to most people saying "If only they have had more life boats!" then what?
They didn't even manage to release the life boats they had in time, what good would more life boats been? They'd cluttered the deck more, making the evacuation more difficult, probably.
With Titanic, there is more to it than meets the eye...
How the hell are you going to look through binoculars in the dark? You aren't going to see nothing anyways.. unless that had night vision.
Craig McCaul A beautiful vid…. a lot of inconsistencies
A Titanic 'expert' should know that no 'distress' rockets were seen by the Californian (not the 'California').
Titanic is the reason for "SOLAS" and today's safer maritime voyages 😊 but still we are at mercy of waters😢
Thank you Mark 💕🙏🏼🌷
You are so welcome
Doesn’t matter about rivets or plate them icebergs are like titanium what a load of crap these experts speak.
couldnt agree more....................this production is utter crap..............sensationalism.......
There was no one entombed it Titanic as she was being built. Check your history.
I didn't make this documentary, I only shared it, uploaded it. I agree with you. Thanks.
The Edwardian era ended in 1910, 2 years before the Titanic sank.
Do not keep your forearm in ice water for 10 minutes. Wtf Can't believe that guy said that
Lol I think he was just using that as a way of feeling how cold that water was, if someone actually wanted to for some dumb reason. There actually are people who take ice baths for 10-15 minutes.....but any longer and it's a very bad day.
The water was 28° F. Pretty easy to replicate that. 🙄

I have observed in the USA right now many are being considered steerage not really worth living..so nothing has changed and i ponder what will it take for us to value all life?
I'd be interested to see how long it would take for the biggest cruise ship as of 2021 to sink? I mean if the biggest cruise ship was in the situation where it would sink one way or another
The Costa Concordia didn't take all long to founder.
More people would have been saved if the policy of woman and children first wasn't used.
How so? It may have changed the ratio of lives saved but how would it have saved more lives? It was also a time where men were chivalrous, the touching thing is that so many honourable men knowingly gave up their own lives for those of their wives and children.
@@Dostoevskys_Quill Well...I can see how that can be true....but not in great numbers. some of the wives didn't want to leave their husbands so they never didn't get in the lifeboat, they could've had children too. I'm sure Ida Straus's wasn't the only one to stay on board. If the men were allowed to get in the lifeboats, those wives and kids would have got in as well. What they did was chivalrous, but it didn't have to be that way. Plus the vast majority of the lifeboats were no where near their full capacity, especially in the beginning. Those empty seats could have been filled by men, which were on the boat deck. Lightoller wouldn't let a man into the boats because he took Smiths' order as "women and children only" not "women and children first, then fill the remaining seats with men." Murdoch allowed men on his side of the deck when if there were no other women around.

Im not sure what this is as it seems to have a decidedly different narrative than literally every other current and up to date Titanic. like the binoculars, the telegraph the weather all outdated info
They had binoculars but they were locked up.
there is no evidence that message was given to the bridge except philips word, and he would have been punished if he said he didn't give it.
They should have let it hit the new York. And maybe by the time damages was fixed. The ice berg they hit would b in another location
Iv always been curious if they had left the water tight doors open had she sank slower and made it easier to fill life boats,,,
