      That statement is wrong, sorry but no one can survive in water that cold for 2 hours, wasted or sober it's impossible, the average temperature of the north Atlantic in April is 28'F ( if it was fresh water it would be solid Ice) and as soon as you make contact with water that cold your body will Go into shock and go into survive mode and then you will loose the feeling in your arms and legs ( you can't swim around)and you have around 15 minutes of time to survive unless you get out of the water to protect your vital organs, only 2 people came out of the water that night ( technical 3 but 1 died shortly after) and once the Titanic went down it was total darkness due to a moonless night, so swimming up to the boat sounds wrong too

About the drunk baker, in the movie A Night To Remember it shows that he was only in the water briefly and the he got on a capsized boat that was floating. That sounds more reasonable!

    About ten years ago i was on a hiking trip in the Arkhyz, a western and rather moist part of the Caucasus mountains. As result of the moisture, the place is known for plenty of lakes up in the meadow level, which of course adds up to the beauty for a city dweller's eye. It was midsummer, and even on 10000 ft too hot to be wearing a t-shirt. So when having walked 10 miles with an 80 pound backpack you approach your night stop spot and discover a heavenly blue lake in the middle of the grass, what do you do? So i jumped in, and the very same second i jumped out, because the water was kinda almost freezing. It's stuill mountains. By the end of the 3 week trip i thing i've managed to stay in for entire 2 minutes and swim out about 100 feet and back. But it took me the entire day's heat for one shot.
    I cannot remotely imagine how somebody could survive for 2 hours or even 40 minutes in freezing water.

      @@loverforcella I have to say I find your queries rather curious, especially since I listed a number of Mr Haggerty's compendium of errors; I'm not trying to be rude, but perhaps you missed them, for they are still there for all to see. If you want to commit to genuine research, there is much available e.g. the full reports on the Titanic Public Enquiries held in New York and London, both of which I believe may be found on CZcams, and certainly in any major library.
      For my part, nowhere did I mention being dubious about any "facts." - what I said was that Mr Haggerty's several pointed referrals to supposed interactions with Capt Smith were apochryphal - or as I put it "of doubtful authorship." Many witness reports made to the official enquiries, and even more made to and by the newspapers, were false, not entirely accurate, or found to be somewhat dubious; indeed, few of the survivors could agree with each other on the Titanic's final moments, but Mr Haggerty seems to have found a reason to include a few that Inver heard before.
      Any genuine author/ researcher worth his/her salt, needs to be sure of the facts before making a history programme, or loses credibility by issuing falsities, speculation and plain untruths. If he/she is presenting the "truth," entering apochrypha or misquotations and leaving out important information is not the way of a genuine historian. Clearly, Mr H has done little or no proper research.
      You say you want to do some research, so why aren't you doing it? There is a whole fund of genuine reportage of the Titanic to be found on CZcams, along with all the many theories and conspiracy theories, fact and fiction, but you seem to have chosen one that really has very little to offer factually or educationally.
      I have watched several videos made by Mr Haggerty, and in each of them he has done much the same in giving truths, half-truths, and complete false information. Therefore, in my most humble opinion (as a military historian), Mr Haggerty is way off the track in what he calls history.
      I recommend you do as I suggest if you truly want to verify my claims.

    Thank you for the highly detailed and accurate video. Being a huge Titanic fan I'd say you are 99.9% correct on everything you stated except at 6:05. The coal fire was found in the coal bunker room between boiler rooms 5 and 6 which were the two most forward boiler rooms. Boiler room 1 being closest to the engine room aft and 6 being the foremost. Additionally there is some evidence stating that the coal fire was actually discovered during Titanic's time at Belfast and it was finally extinguished I believe Friday or Saturday April 12th and 13th during the voyage. There is speculation whether or not this coal fire had any impact on the ships sinking. Personally I believe it did not since coal fires were pretty common. Again, thanks for the great video.

    The propellers being way too small for that big ship and the dream of arriving faster to gain more popularity the different materials used as rivets too little rescue boats...

    Great job on this. I’ve been fascinated with the Titanic since learning about it on a road trip when I was 7. My parents bought me a coffee table book by Robert Ballard. Even after years of seeing the movies and hearing the stories, your 15 minute video was just as fascinating to me as that book I got 30 years ago.
    Also, the timbre and cadence of your voice reminds me of Bill Paxton. RIP...

Sometimes it felt like I was on the ship, especially in the shower. I think that was because I was right at the front of the ship because the 2 cruises after that I never had a problem. And this was years ago before people were concerned about being around each other.

    @9:16 -- This has been traditionally accepted as the iceberg that struck the Titanic and this photo was reproduced in some editions of Walter Lord's A Night To Remember.
    I no longer believe it's the Titanic iceberg. The "smear of paint" at the base could just as easily be a bacteria layer. Also, according to examiners, it does not show signs of damage consistent with collision. It also does not fit all the descriptions of the iceberg that collided with the Titanic.
    There were many iceberg photos taken around the site of the sinking so we'll never know for sure which was THE ONE.
    I think there was a better candidate. It was an iceberg that was shaped like Rock of Gibraltar which was exactly what was reported by at least one crewman who got a glimpse of the berg before it vanished. This iceberg also shows signs of damage in the photo that was snapped of it.
    The two major Titanic movies, 1958 A Night to Remember and 1997's Titanic, depict these two versions of the iceberg. Both iceberg photos have been auctioned and sold in the last 20 years.
    The 1958 movie shows the collision with Walter Lord's preferred iceberg suspect. The 1997 Titanic movie depicts the "Rock of Gibraltar" iceberg. I think more and more Titanic experts are coming to believe the "Rock of Gibraltar" candidate is the more likely Titanic iceberg.
    Again, we will never know with absolute certainty.

Such a fascinating place, next to the doors of the college building, there are old photographs on the wall that were taken from that exact spot while the Titanic was under construction, showing what the view would’ve been like back in the early 1910s when stood directly where the college doors are located nowadays.
