    The helmsman didn't turn towards the rocks, he actually turned away from the rocks not realizing that in order for the ship to swing around the rocks it has to have the rudder turn to midship. It is common sense that you should turn away from the rocks, and that's what he did. However, in this case, it was wrong.

    11:45 The Internet Historian clarifies this on the Q&A, but basically they needed to *not* keep turning the boat away from the rocks to avoid the rocks, in order to prevent the rear of the ship from skidding onto the rocks.
    So the helmsman needed to do a non-intuitive maneuver that required naval knowledge to understand. The Captain understood how to do this maneuver and relayed correct orders, but the helmsman either did what he thought he should, which was wrong, or genuinely didn't hear.

    • @nightkobun

      Yeah, the Color Line cruises that go Norway-Denmark and Norway-Germany are pretty much 200€ weekend tours. (You can of course schedule the return later so you can hang around in the deep south of Kiel, Germany if you want to).
      It's cheap, it's fun, and 90% of the clientele are wonderful, social security clients who are absolutely in the best mood of their lives because they're actually going to have a good time for once.
      And if you buy enough stuff in the tax-free, you get your next cruise free/at a severe discount. It's a fun time, comes recommended, just don't pretend you're high class while you do it.

      The older you get the more likely you are to be unwilling or unable to go places in full adventure mode. In my case, I'm young but I have a few severe allergies which would make it very uncomfy to visit some countries in Asia without knowing the language. While on a cruise ship you can have Western food or get information on the food in most languages and then venture out in a different country every day. Anyways not that I'll have the money for that anytime soon. But it's still wild to think this ship this size for sure had translators on board for passengers, yet the captain couldn't communicate 100% with his own colleague.

      My dad was a Military Navy Captain of a Frigate. God rest his soul, I would've shown him this and we would've had a good laugh. He always told me there's a reason most Officers(the real good ones down the line) went through all the posts in their first years, as a sort of an "intern" thing, from Cadets to Helmsmen, Petty officers and so forth. So as to gain a better understanding of the roles, to help them grow and if they reach higher posts, like Captain, to better and more efficiently organize the men and women under their command. He'd tell me out of all of them, Captain was probably the most challenging. Not because of one thing, but because you had to factor in so much stuff while being the brain of the whole operation, to keep the staff in check. Sometimes he'd spend days without sleeping just to make sure everything runs smoothly for everyone else.
      I never went his path, but he taught me what the burden of real Leadership is, and I'm grateful for it.

    The thing is, if the captain hadn't lied so much, he wouldn't even have been that much to blame. His orders would have kept the ship at a safe enough distance if they hadn't been been fucked up by the helmsman (who I think was hired by the company, not the captain) so many times. He would still be in trouble, but there would have been less casualties, and less blame on him.

      It wasn’t just his lis though, it was the failure of his actions in that he refused to sound a general alarm fast enough, had very little grasp of the situation, didn’t seem to know or follow any emergency procedures and abandoned the ship before the crew or passengers were all accounted for and taken off...
      Every one of his actions during the sinking was wrong, not just the fact he was lying the whole time.
      All of the deaths occurred after the collision, not during, and most of them were from downing due to the fact they kept having to move the passengers from side to side of the ship as it started to sink, and people either tried to swim or were thrown from the ship due to the listing and etc.
      Almost all the deaths can be attributed to a lack of safety and control of the captain (many of the crew were actually doing their jobs and helping and organizing passengers) not calling a general alarm immedialtey and the failure and cocking up of procedure that proceeded the collision.

    Think I saw someone mention this before. Putting it here just in case. Staff hiring and the building of the ship are seperate cases. They are handled by two different groups who have their own strategies. Ship building group obviously does everything they can with no expenses spared. Hiring group not so much. They will do what they can to cut corners and hire staff with ease and cost in mind. The position of captain is also a PR thing considering he is to meet with guests during dinner and moments where they feel they have the time to walk the decks. May not be entirely true, but this is my understanding. Correct me on the bits where I'm wrong so people know better than me.

I didn’t even have a life jacket because I had given it to one of the passengers - I was trying to get them into the lifeboats in an orderly fashion. All of a sudden the boat listed between 60-70 degrees. I tripped and ended up in one of the lifeboats. That’s why I was in there.’"

      This is kinda true but not really, you need to have a seat in a life vessel for everyone onboard. 75% has to be boats, and the rest can be inflatable rafts. The problem is though that it means that if you can't launch them from one side then you're missing spaces for 37.5% of your passenger capacity and if your captain is a tool then those life rafts for the last 25% won't be ready in time. Couple that with panic and your life boats will have at best a third, but more likely a fourth, of your needed capacity.

    Salvaging a ship on site gets hilariously expensive. In WW1 Royal Navy had a Battleship called HMS Warspite. She was at the Battle of Jutland where she had so much fun kicking the crap out of the Germans, she came about and went back in for a 2nd time whether the crew wanted to or not and served right through WW2 were she pulled off the joint world record of longest main battery shell hit from ship to ship, scared the shit out of a bunch of German Destroyers hiding in a fjord waiting to ambush a bunch of British Destroyers they thought would come in after them except it was HMS Warspite with her 15" guns already pointed right at them that came barreling round the corner AND also took a direct hit from a fritz x anti ship missile that sank a far larger and far more modern Italian Battleship not that long before. She survived that and at the D-day landings she fired so many shells inland that she ran out of ammo, went home, got more, went back, fired all that off and wore out her guns so went home for more ammo and new gun barrels, went back out to find the Germans had the audacity to retreat inland out of range so...she flooded one side of the ship to lean over and get more elevation on the guns so she could keep shooting the Germans.(USS Texas pulled the same trick too. Another legend warship with attitude)
    This thing was a gangster of a warship. After WW2 the UK Gov made the criminal desicion to just scrap her and after an attempt by private parties and the public to raise money to have her preserved failed, she was towed off to the scrappers. Warspite had other ideas. She slipped her lines and ran aground. And so began the most costly Naval salvage operation there has ever been in British waters. A final "well fuck you very much ya bastids!" from a legendary warship 😂
