No One Talks About the Shipwreck More Tragic Than the Titanic

  • Probably the most famous shipwreck of all time, the Titanic, wasn't, in fact, the scariest or the worst in history. On April 27, 1865, the Sultana Steamboat carried more than 2,000 people instead of the regular 350. So, there was a broken boiler, an excess number of passengers, a lack of lifeboats, and not the best river conditions. At 2 am, the broken boiler, unable to withstand the load, suddenly exploded. It didn't leave many survivors, but it was not the only disaster at sea.

    The Titanic took over 90 minutes to sink, mostly upright, lights on and orchestra playing. The Lusitania, by contrast went down in 15. The Empress of Ireland, and most other wrecks were also quick and rolled over or otherwise got the job done without glamor. I would argue the Titanic became famous, because it’s sinking was so tragically civilized, and so elegant in its horrific finality.

    The MV Willhelm Gustloff was the worst wreck of all time with around 10,000 casualties because the low visibility and the fact that it was so cold the lifeboats froze to their placements. People who somehow reached the lifeboats met with the unfortunate discovery that the ice was too thick for them to free the boats in time.

    To me, there's a lot of reasons (beyond the movie) as to why the Titanic is a more talked about shipwreck. Firstly you have that it was a hugely technological ship for its time and was made very famous back then for being called unsinkable and for luxurious it was, with a lot of wealthy people of 1912 having tickets for the ship. Then you have how it went down, the fact that the moon wasn't out so the iceberg wasn't visible, the image of the propellers being lifted from the ocean and the ship breaking in half. It's iconic stuff. Then you have what ultimately was poor handling in the event of it sinking. Not enough lifeboats for everyone, and of the lifeboats on board, none were filled to capacity.

      The Titanic was never called unsinkable before it sank. It was the tabloid story of its time, and people just made up whatever they wanted to about it. It's like them calling it the triumph of the sea and everyone loved it and it was in every headline. In reality, it wasn't even carrying full passenger capacity and was a non-story. That's why there's no actual footage of Titanic leaving anywhere. They always use Olympic footage because it was the first ship to come out and the actual headline. By the time Titanic sailed later on, no one cared. If it hadn't sank, you'd have never heard of it.

    I think the reason nobody reaely talks about some of these is some of them were totally avoidable (the Titanic was to a point, but ones like the Sultana was avoidable if the owner of the ship had spent the extra money to fix the boiler correctly, and we know basically the events that took place as a result of his actions). The Titanic is still a bit of a mystery to some (at least, the very details and other theories as to how it could have been avoided, which I think is what makes it the most talked about shipwreck, plus everyone knows about it obviously due to its popularity).

    • @wrongturnVfor
      @wrongturnVfor Před rokem

      Nope, it is just what the media chooses to pick up on and run with. Titanic was also totally avoidable. The radio room was busy sending and receiving passenger messages and after informing captain once about iceberg warnings didnt bother again, The captain ddint explicitly tell the radio room to keep him updated and mentally thought he would divert south if another warning came. There too greed doomed the ship. Not to mention in the greed of winning the blue riband titanic skipped the lifeboat drills that were supposed to be held first in the lake where they tested the dinghys, then before departure and then at sea. All were missed because hey she was unsinkbale right? They were running behind with the launch and then wanted to go as fast as possible on sea so they never did them. which is why it took the crew so long to lower them when they were needed and they were half filled because they literally didnt know how much weight they would be able to carry. It was literally a disaster caused by human vanity and greed

      I think a big part of the fascination with the Titanic is because of how deep it sank down to the ocean. I know there's plenty other ships that exceed the distance down. But it's definitely an element along with how elegant the ship is. It's a time capsule totally isolated from the world where few can ever go.

    If another tragedic sinking ship gets a film, I'm thinking it should be the MV Sewol 2014 where 9 out of the 10 classes of the second years in Danwon highschool(Around 200+ students) and civilians, including ship crew present in the ship went down on April 16, 2014. The poor souls were told to by the captain to "Stay where you are" while he fled to his own safety, leaving as the FIRST "rescued" to get out of the ship, leaving everyone behind. The ship eventually sank with more than half of the passengers still inside.

      I wish there were more disaster films based on real disasters instead of the over-dramatic, apocalyptic, borderline fantastical schlock that Hollywood churns out. Like, I get it, fictional, world-ending, massive mega-disasters allow for greater spectacle and larger stakes, but make too many of them and they all start to feel cliche and same-y.

    The MV Doña Paz collided with a tanker and caught on fire in December 20th, 1987. 4,385 people drowned or were burned alive with only 26 people made it out alive. The ferry was more than twice overloaded with passengers and later found to be sailing under unseaworthy conditions. This remains the deadliest peace time maritime disaster in history

    In some ways you can compare these horrible tragedies to those that often happen in third world countries even today. In a lot of countries many the roads are so bad that people often drive off cliffs and die. Also many boats sink due to lax regulations and many people drown, as well as huge fires in poor neighborhoods and tragedies involving dangerous working environments.

    Hms Hood must be by far the most tragic. Being the symbol and might of the Royal Navy for decades, sailing out to stop the new and feared german battleship Bismarck. After only a short battle her magazine got hit by Bismarcks 5th salvo igniting a fire that rapidly spread to main magazine which explosion was so severe it instandly broke the ship in 2 after which she sank in only 2 minutes killing everhbody on the ship except for 3 survivors.
    Imagine that. 3 survivors of the 1418 people survived.

    i have to argue with all of this because titanic took a little bit more than 2 hours to sink. titanic was the most luxurious boats in that time. And it's scary enough to think about the stern raising up in the air but thinking what if you we're holding on to your life but then fall down that immense fall. I truly don't think that would be very fun to fall down. more than 1,500 passengers died that day. And only 705 people survived titanic. And 2,240 people we're on titanic. And ONLY 44-48 people were saved from the water by lifeboats.

      And the collision didn't happen 'for some reason,' it happened because the ships were uncertified, the crews unqualified and partying on the bridges while they left the navigation to a single inexperienced intern.
      There's also the _Sewal_ , which capsized because she was overloaded with passengers, and cargo that was not secured in any way, and she was turned too sharply. Making it worse, very little effort was made to rescue the passengers, who were instructed by a recording on loop to stay in their cabins.
