Video

A series of Mike going through all the major Titanic films of the past century would be super interesting. Id love to hear his thoughts on the infamous Nazi Titanic film😂

6:02 Friends, I’m a little confused by the graphic here, what does the 2 X’s for 9:00am Caronia represent on what I assumed to be a map of the ocean. Not sure what I’m missing, so would be grateful for any help to understand. But otherwise, a stunning recreation of the chilling companion story to the more familiar tale of the doomed Titanic voyage. Top work, sir.

I heard a rumour the swimming pool on the titanic is still filled with water to this day..... 😂

In total a dozen concrete ships were sold to Canada and used as a wave break to a port on the east coast I forget which one

I'll never, ever subscribe to an Aussie. Love from NZ.

Bruh😂😂😂”may 1912” ITS APRIL 14th 1912😂😂😂😂

Of all the Mike Brady’s in the world you are the most Mike Brady

Its crazy to think that American police have destroyed more lives than the sinking of the RMS Titanic

I can't see the significance of Titanic. Just a rusty old tub that sank over 100 years ago.

Well researched docu, I enjoyed.

The usual style over substance

If they make an exact replica of Titanic, they'd better have modern sonar on board to scan for icebergs.

Interesting how the reaction of the passengers to the 1953 movie seems to correspond to their status.

Awesome one, thanks

LGBTQS 😂 😂 😂

I think it was Milvena that we interviewed around 1995 in Long Beach California. She was of course a child but one thing that I remember her mentioning was that you could still smell the fresh paint (this was of course before the James Cameron production.) I wish I recalled more but I was in charge of setting up the actual set and lighting and camera operator. There were some Titanic artifacts including a whistle that was salvaged and we blew it with compressed air on camera.

So why were there no survivors?

I remember hearing one finnish surviver commenting on Night To Remember something like this. "If those cameras were filming us that night, why didn't anyone come to help?"

Too bad the 22 lifeboats didn't have backups.

Bad voice, animation, and no way 1 hour plus of this mess. Blocking channel.

Ugh oh, there’s a fact check page for the sinking of the titanic; now I 100% believe it wasn’t an accidental iceberg collision. Thanks wiki fact check people for telling me what to believe! 🖕

That was fascinating. Never even occurred that survivors would have watched the films.

Successfully launching any lifeboats is an absolute display of heroism by the crew. It is miraculous.

Mike seemed to represent the 1958 movie A Night To Remember as pretty good. I saw this movie about 45 years ago, and at that time I thought it was good but not that good. Mike caused me to watch it again. It's not that good. There is too much emphasis on the Titanic being supposedly unsinkable - dialog from the owner, the captain, passengers all stating that it can't sink. This unsinkable nonsense arose from newspaper articles tizzed up by second rate journalists. NOBODY in the shipping industry would have believed any ship could be made unsinkable, certainly not the builders and certainly not ship's officers. There are too many obvious bloopers that distract your attention and ruin the intensity of the story. Possibly the movie was badly edited. dining room floors go from level to a 10 degree tilt then back to level again, then back to tilt again in consecutive scenes, then suddenly go to 20 degrees. Some events seem to be out of sequence. A scene showing the Titanic from a distance showing the front going down at about 500 mm per second. That's way WAY too fast. People in lifeboats some distance away from the ship were shown as hearing the band. There was no way that could happen. No amplification back then - the racket of all those people trying to yell their way into the boats would mean they couldn't hear the band either. The movie did not show the ship breaking apart and the stern consequently, having risen up, falling back down then rising up a second time. This is understandable, as it wasn't not conclusively established that that the hull spilt until after the wreck was discovered. Interestingly, when the berg is sighted, the movie has officer of the watch give an order "Full Astern Both" (engines - note that the centre engine was not reversible and would be automatically stopped by an order to reverse both). There has been ongoing differing views as to whether the order was to reverse engines, or was to stop them, including by Ocean Liner Designs - who as I recall thought it was an order to stop. An order to stop both makes absolutely no sense, as the iceberg was too close to stop before hitting it - their only chance was to steer around it. Ordering Stop Both would kill rudder authority and make steering around the berg impossible. Inertia of the ship would simply keep it travelling until it hit the berg head on. We know it almost succeeded in going around the berg. An order to reverse both would not save them, but is understandable as the officer had only a few hours on Titanic and most likely reacted automatically with an order correct for the ship he had last served on - which had no centre turbine. Titanic had only one rudder, so ordering Astern Both would not kill rudder authority but would seriously weaken it.

Wow, nobody came up with the plan to set the Atlantic dry, so we can easily walk to the wreck?

Incredible feat of engineering. 😮 Btw, if you give the speed in both km/h and mph (next to knots) then you might as well give °C next to °F: 900°F ≈ 482°C 🤓

It reminds me of when I read that when Sergei Eisenstein's silent movie October was made about the October Revolution in St. Petersburg many of the extras had played a role in the actual event. And that when Clint Eastwood made a movie a few years ago about a train hijacking that had been thwarted by ex-Marines who happened to be on board he didn't cast some actors in the lead roles but the actual guys who had thwarted the train hijacking (which is why it didn't pan out well as none of those guys were actors and playing yourself isn't as dramatic).

My Grandfather was a mate on the James Craig. :) BTW the James Craig was New Zealand owned for a long time.

This was a tender and thoughtful compilation of these survivor’s stories. Thanks for the great work!

The sad thing alot 9f the offcers that servied got killed at dunkerk buy nazi plain bomings or commited sueside later like the crownest guy at 77

23:41 Crazy? I was crazy once, they put me in a room, a rubber room with rats, I hate rats, they makes me go crazy.

@britannic

Thank you for creating such a high quality video. I really like how you give an in-depth background to the ships and their crew. The visuals are fantastic and I think it’s easy to forget how poor visibility was at night and how vast the sea is. Thank you - going to watch another video now! 😊
