- Our rainy day adventure to the Titanic Artifact Exhibition in Orlando, Fl
Join us as we make our way through the exhibit and examine genuine Titanic artifacts recovered from the wreckage on the seabed; learn about the history behind them.
All artifact and historical information provided by the Orlando Titanic Artifact Exhibition.
All film footage shot on site in Orlando, Florida
Narrated by:
Quentin Deckard
Correction
In the video I stated that the “touch piece” of Titanic was sealed off and you cannot touch. At the time I am certain I misread the “Please Touch” sign…as “Please Do Not Touch” (as this is typically what we are accustomed to seeing). Coupled with the fact it was in a plexiglass case was enough to make me think it was only on visual display.
However, through watching other videos of the museum, I have come to know that there is a small hole in top of the plexiglass case that you can reach through and touch an actual piece of Titanic history. My apologies to anyone who may have missed out on touching this piece of history (like myself) due to my statement.
The very first photo shown is my great uncle, Thomas Andrews jr. I am very proud of the history he left behind his skill in designing ships. When at the age of 14yrs he began his apprenticeship, his family gave him a briefcase to carry pencils, rulers and paper, unlike our leather ones his was wooden. I have the honour to own it. It will be passed down through generations, just as I inherited it...In the movie he was the man who stood by the clock in the lounge...his family lived in a small village outside Belfast called Comber. A lot of his descendants still live there today...it was only a few miles to get the the small seaside town. He would ride his bicycle there and watch the ships go by..this is thought to be were he decided to be a ship builder/ designer....
Wow!!! Thank you Evelyn for this bit of family history! I always find it interesting to find out the personal history of the individual lives.
It sounds like you are well versed in your family history!
I spent my youth and early adulthood re-enacting the American Civil War. Much more of interest to me was the living history aspect of it, than the battle re-enactments.
I spent much time researching a specific Soldier in the unit I was attached to. I knew his family history, his personal struggles, and his friendships with others in the unit.
I spent my time at re-enactments in the first person. We were very disciplined in maintaining a representation of our Soldier in their time period. Spectators were often directed to our unit (31st Indiana, Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company G) because it was like observing a piece of history come to life when they observed our interactions with each other and the crowd.
It is this type of research into the lives of those who played key roles in our history, that keeps history alive and interesting! Thank you dearly for sharing this bit of history with us here.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing! Thomas Andrew was revered as a great man.. What an honor it must be to be related!
Woah ur related to mr Andrews!
amazing.
I have been obsessed with Titanic ever since I was a child. One day, my dad took me to central London (the Titanic exhibition) without telling me why. I was angry the whole journey because I was a naughty, stubborn child. The moment he told me where we were going, everything changed. Love you dad.
Aww, I love this 💗
My 6 year old is obsessed. He is also very obsessed with britannic and carpathia. It’s an odd obsession for a kindergartner but I indulge him in his obsession. History is important.
I also went the the Exhibition in London shortly after the ship was discovered ( I can't remember if my friend and I went there Specifically or not but when I saw the bannere I just knew I had to see it )
And to be honest it was a VERY EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET X
It wasn't as well laid out as this one but still .... WOW !!
Goodness. Imagine being obsessed by a sunken ship? Hmmm.
I have always been fascinated with the Titanic ever since I was about 9 years old and back in the late 50's , early 60's, there was a TV show called, "One Step Beyond ", and they showed how some people were somehow knowing something catastrophic was going to happen to the Titanic. In my child's mind, I couldn't understand how that beautiful ship could hit an iceberg on the vast Atlantic Ocean. I am now in my 70's and have been to the exhibit on Orlando, years ago. I have a model of the Titanic in my dining room and books about the Titanic, so even after all these years, the story about the Titanic continues to not only fascinate me, but a whole new generation of people. The ship may have died but it looks like it's story will never end.
Beautiful documentary !! I’ve been a Titanic nerd since I was a kid in the 80’s. My brother had a historical disasters book and the Titanic story and Images of the ship were in it. It captured my imagination as a child and never let go !! 🚢 😮😢
I'm saving this yo watch while in bed tonight. I love everything Titanic.
Such a beautiful and sad story all rolled into one.
May they all RIP
What a phenomenal job this man did with the tour. His narrative and information he provides and the quality he put into it is wonderful.
Well done.
This was amazing!
Totally agree
Absolutely agree, a well-presented display of artifacts
His incorrect pronunciations could have been better. 'Fleur de lys' for example. Perhaps this is an AI bot?
I can't honestly tell you how much it means to me to see these artifacts without going to the actual exhibition. I have been to quite a few Titanic exhibitions over the years, but this one was beautiful. I can't thank you enough.
Thank you for your kind comments!
I really enjoy history, especially history on the Titanic
This is by far the best filmed and documented tour I've seen anywhere! The time you've taken to explain everything is nothing short of breath-taking. Thank you!
I went to this exhibition on my 13th birthday as a gift from my mother. That was 25 years ago. It wasn't as extravagant as it is now, but I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all of us. I have been researching Titanic and other maritime history ever since I was 6 years old, so 32 years now, and Titanic has always been my favorite ship.
It sounds like this exhibit holds some great memories for you! Certainly there is a lot of interesting maritime history to research.
Have you ever visited the National Civil War Museum in Columbus, Georgia?
It has some amazing artifacts and history. I have a love for civil war period history… including the naval history of the period. They even has an old ironsides ship they pulled up from the bottom of the river.
Cool! I'm glad for you!
I so wish they would rebuild it, these liners were elegance at its finest
We have visited here and I have to say it is absolutely hauntingly AMAZING. we still have our passenger cards of whom we were.
Thank you for showing piece of history. You did a great honor. So sad so many lost there lives. MY THEY ALL RIP.
This reminds me a bit of the Titanic museum we went to in Branson, MO, a year or two after it opened. It included water to put your hand in to feel how cold the water was that night and even bits from filming the movie as well as actual artifacts from the wreckage. It was fascinating, and I’m sure if I went a dozen more times, I’d still manage to learn something more each time. Such a tragedy, and I wish we had more artifacts from which we could learn more about the people, times and of course the Titanic experience.
The one in Las Vegas has the most artifacts and has the Big piece of the actual Ship.. its cool that the ones in Missouri and Tennessee have replicas of the grand staircase and rooms but for a ton of artifacts I would say the one in Vegas is the best
Several months ago, I went to the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge TN. I love how each museum has different items. I enjoyed watching this video of things I didn't get to see at mine. The gift shop was amazing. I ended up buying a t-shirt and a book about the stewardess Violet Jessop and how she survived the Titanic and Britannic disasters. I recommend that book. My passenger was Maria Backström from Finland. She was 33 years old and 6 months pregnant and held a third class ticket. She traveled with her husband and her two brothers which all three perished. Maria survived because her husband begged her to get into one of the last lifeboats. After the tragedy, she went back to Finland. May all those that perished that night rest in peace.
I have heard wonderful things about the Pigeon Forge exhibit. My aunt lives in Pigeon Forge and she loved it! Perhaps one day I will get up that way to visit that Exhibition.
Thank you for sharing your passenger information. It is certainly due in large part to the loss of life and lives affected, that we find this tragedy to be such a loss.
I was there in October as well. So emotional...I loved every minute..
Amen
Stories like these really fascinate me! You are truly Blessed! ❤
To this day I don't understand why there isn't a single book on the Titanic that only deals with the artifacts that were recovered ...
I went to the Titanic Artifact Exhibition at the London Science Museum in 2004. In the souvenier shop you could buy a book with pictures and descriptions of all the items in the exchibit. Which is probably why we weren't allowed to take photos of the exhibit. Which was a shame, as it was probably the only time in my life I would have had to view the exhibit. Don't know how this guy pulled off doing what he did.
@@MoonHowlerGaming We were allowed to take photos in Vegas when I saw it 4 years ago. They have that giant ice cube to touch on the way out; one little girl was with her mom and as she touched it she said, "Mommy, why didn't they all just go to the Bahamas instead?"
We were allowed to film every wher but n9 flash or in thgrand stair case
@@MoonHowlerGaming I have a question that concerns me. Are the rescued artifacts preserved in salt water when not in a exhibition? Clothes and papers I think must be in dry places. Also China..bronze..crystal... Do you know something about it? Thank you!!
I had no idea so many objects were recovered from the wreck site. This is my first exposure to things on board. I appreciate the thoroughness of the presentation. So well done. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. You did an amazing job. So very sad yet so historical. I’m always watching videos on the Titanic.
what a well done documentary, the background music was nether sappy nor over the top loud along with describing many of the little things that won't tug at your heart strings but brings a wealth of knowledge on how within that time we lived and traveled. yes, well done , very well done
Thank you for that great feedback! Glad you enjoyed it.
@@OlPaths My only criticism would be the overly loud horn you added at 6:42. That made me spill my coffee over the desk.
I highly respect this body of work. But for those who say the music fits the content...in what way does ANY music fit the content of a documentary? WHAT does the ponderous music impart?
Amazing video, informative, narrated at a perfect pace!😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you, It is encouraging to hear such good feedback!
I saw this exhibit in Chicago probably 20 years ago my most intense memory of it was that I was able to actually touch the hull of the Titanic through an acrylic wall with round holes in it through which you could put your hands and lay it on the hull of the titanic. It gave me shivers I’ll never forget that tactile experience I hope they still have that
Indeed...I too have touched the Titanic. I took my daughter, who was then at university, when it visited Manchester, England, in the early 2000s. From memory, I think you could just put a finger on a fragment of the hull through a narrow slot. They would probably ban that now to avoid the spread of Covid!
This hits you in the feels when you see it in person. Just outstanding!
What an exceptionally well done documentary! Greetings from Belfast!
Thank you! Greetings to you as well from Florida!
❤ from Canada
My husband and I went to Mexico after the filming of Titanic. We were able to tour the film set and see how amazing the Titanic must have been. We’ll never forget how incredible and sad it was.
Beautiful Tribute Tour.. Thank you...
RIP.🙏✝️💖✨🍀💐
This is without doubt one of the best, if not THE best video I've EVER seen on the artifacts found on Titanic, and I'm a Brit from Liverpool !! X
Still loving this after months. Helps to put me to sleep daily
I've been to this Exhibition - it is amazing. You feel like your onboard the Titanic when your there. The only gripe I had about it was they were selling bits of Coal from the Titanic wreak in souvenirs in their shop (i thought that was disrespectful the ship is a grave and people forget that)
People pay to see artifacts that have brought up from the ship..like yourself..no different than wanting to buy a piece of coal.
@@crazycatlady68not exactly. Selling coal from the wreck sounds awful
What a fantastic documentary you’ve put together. I’ve watched many about the Titanic artefacts and this one definitely ranks the best. 5 ⭐️
I went to the exhibit several years ago, when it came to Greensboro, NC.
I bought a 2e class cup in an auction in Ireland years ago that was ment for financing the Titanic recoveries and salvage . It was probably the last item sold at the time and since there was lots of these cups when I offred to give it back the curator said I could keep it and take good care of it .
Very cool! That is certainly a treasure to take care of.
I had Annie Funk as my boarding pass at a Titanic exhibition in London in 2011. Very moving and insightful collection. RIP to all who perished.
When I went to the exhibit in Orlando, Florida, years ago, my boarding pass was for Katriina Jussila , which was really weird since my initials are KJ. I still have that boarding pass with the model I have of the Titanic in my dining room.
I agree with everyone else, you did an amazing job. Everything flows together, the music, narration, cinematography. Very elegant documentary, just like the Titanic. 10/10 Cheers 🥂
This was quite enjoyable bring back memories of when I went to see a temporary display many years ago at Mosi in Central Florida. I'd love to be able to experience the Titanic display again.
Thank u 4 taping the Titanic Exhibit, very interesting
What is Disney going to think of next WoW I can't wait for that Orlando Florida I can't wait to go now I know I'm going to go to Disney World National be fun
What an absolutely wonderful documentary. Beautifully made and narrated.
Fantastic video. Thank you
Thank you so very much for this atmospheric video. I must admit I shed a tear or two. These were real people with real valuables and I'm not just talking monied valuables I'm talking about things from a German/ English dictionary and a notebook where a man practiced his name and address. Again thank you so very much for your narrative and adding the Hymn music. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it Sandra, I agree… these were real people with real value and it is often sad to look into their lives and to know they were cut short in such a tragic way. I love my hymns! I was glad I could find a way to include it into this video. God bless.
@@OlPaths You nailed it. I've seen thousands off these videos but they all lacked something. It was human atmosphere and you gave us that as oppose to just seeing the layout from a mechanical and working point of view. I like those too but I actually found your video the best from from thousands out there. Thank you from me in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 💚 and God speed in whatever project / adventure you work on next 🙏
I absolutely agree, this is the most atmospheric Titanic documentary I've ever seen!! Thank You so much for doing and sharing this video!
I've got one question: the beautiful music that adds so much to the precious atmosphere - does anyone know, from where it is? I llllove it!
Greetings from Germany
I enjoyed this tour of the Titanic. You did a fabulous job explaining all the artifacts clearly and concisely. I look forward to your future broadcasts. Thank you!
I just found your channel today. I saw this in Orlando many years ago. I need to go see it again soon. Enjoyed this video alot.
My ex girlfriends great aunt was the nurse on Titanic. She didn't make it. I'm guessing she was a hero being a nurse.
Wow! What a great video and what a great job of narrating it! I hope the sinking of the titanic is never forgotten.
This is exquisite and moving. Thank you for your hard work 🤍
saddest part was seeing most number of souls lost from the third class 😔🙏 RIP all
What a fascinating history and amazing artifacts that a lot of us would take for granted. Thank you for sharing this wonderful treasure.
Watching this was a wonderful, educational and deeply moving experience. Very well conceived and presented. I especially liked the narrator's speaking voice which was not only extremely pleasant but clear and well modulated ... I detect a slight "south of the Mason/Dixon Line" inflection and was lovely. The background music was a perfect score and I wonder if the music has a name or if it can be identified?
Thank you for your wonderful compliments Mr. Butch.
Indeed, I am south of the Mason Dixon at just about the furthest point.
The background music is a piece entitled “The Moment” by Robert Miller. It can be found on CZcams.
@@OlPaths Thank you again. I am a former Floridian, originally from Broward County.
Excellent! I have found the saying tends to hold true… South moves North, North moves South.
I am originally from South Central Indiana, but have lived in every state along 1-75 between Indiana and Florida… thanks to a great relocation program I came across called the U.S. Army. 😆
Thank you very much for this video. Great pictures and awesome narrating. Very professional and educational as well. I didn't know I needed to see this ''documentary'' before I saw it.
A beautiful video May all RIP~ Thanks for Sharing!
Fantastic video sir, absolutely fascinating thank you for taking the time to put this together, i really enjoyed it.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed ☺️
As somebody who visited this breath taking exhibition, I can attest to each passenger being given a Titanic passport which at the end of the tour you find out who lived and those who didnt. Each passport contains info on its particular passenger. There are many notable artifacts on display that are viewable during the self directed tour. So much hubris led to so many deaths. As a result of this disaster there are now Air Ice Patrols that keep eyes on growlers and burgs along with enough lifeboats for all persons on the sea
This is so peaceful to watch. Excellent stuff.
A huge thank you for sharing it.I have seen the exhibut,but never get tired of experiencing it
You’re quite welcome. It is a wonder to see.
This was absolutely
Sad and happy all at the same time.
Because we all relived it..
Thank u..
Nearly 20 years ago I saw an exhibit like this. I got to touch part of the hull, I guess now it isn't allowed. I feel blessed I got to.
I was mistaken about not being able to touch it. I had to retract my statement in the video description. It was in a plexiglass case, I just didn’t see the small hole in the top for reaching your fingers through. There was also a sign that said “Please Touch” and in my mind it registered “Please Do Not Touch”.. let’s face it… how often do you see signs that say “Please Touch”?
What a Stunning Documentary on the artefacts. Well done 👍. The only one made with actual Care . Do you have more?
Unfortunately, I do not have any more at this time. I am however, pondering the possibility of doing several more.
@@OlPaths that would be great, thank you
This was a wonderfully done video. Thanks for sharing!
This was a wonderful video and narration! I visited this museum back in 2014 and was unable to capture my tour on camera. I loved this virtual tour and history lesson.
What a lovely video. Thank you.
I live an hour away on the west coast of FL, for whatever reason I never knew there was a Titanic artifact exhibit. Now I have a reason to drive over for the weekend, looks like a good time!
Certainly worth the drive, and a great way to spend an afternoon
Wow...all I can say is wow. Thank you for sharing!!!!
Thank you for doing such a great narration throughout .It was very interesting and full of information.It is a very sad story .All the hopes and excitement of all those people going to a new beginning in a lot of cases.And they had so many dreams too.There are a lot of stories to of bravery and wrong doings too.But sadly it happened.I am pleased they left her down there and she’s now a resting place for those down there.I think it’s fitting..Thank you again.Love n Light 🥰
Amazing!!!! Thank you ❤️
Wow. I’m so glad I came across your video, definitely 10 out of 10 - Thank you so much!!!
Excellent video. Thank you!
Thank you Ken, glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing this
Thank you so much for this! It is greatly appreciated!
I went a couple of years ago (no filming or photos allowed) and it's nice to see they have new pieces on display. Thanks for putting this together!! I thought the whole experience was both fun and sad; movie reminiscent but also real life. And yes I did buy a heart of the ocean necklace at the gift shop!
Thank you for putting this together
Thank you for this. I went to a temporary exhibition in Montreal back in 2008, very similar to this one. I remember not enjoying it as much as I should've. You gave me a chance to live it again! :)
Excellent! I am glad you enjoyed it. That was kind of my goal in this. In the past I have visited exhibits like this (oftentimes naval and civil war museums) and walked through too quickly. I missed so much in doing so. That gave me the idea to use my photographs and videos to put together a video (originally just to enjoy with family). After it came together I quickly realized it had great educational value and others might enjoy it as well.
Thankyou so much for sharing. What a lovely video x
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful Tour &. Exceptional Presentation.😊
Thank🌷You So Much,

Thank you for this video! Very respectfully and thoughtfully done!
Thank you, very nicely described in a good vocal resonance pleasing to the ear.

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
I used to have an issue with taking artifacts from the Titanic wreck but when you look at it now you realize it isn't going to resemble anything pretty soon but a pile of disintegrating rubble. Get whatever can be brought up safely and display it for the world to see. That stuff wasn't meant to be on the ocean floor anyway.
That’s exactly right. The ocean life will completely recycle all of it back into the earth. Many people are against it because they feel that it is a “Graveyard”.
While there may have been the remains of some at the bottom… most died in the frigid waters as they leapt free of the sinking vessel. While the ones that were trapped in the lower levels have disintegrated in the icy depths… the calcium content of their bones long ago dissolved into history.
Great documentary, thanks for sharing.
Wow, thank you so much for such a wonderful presentation and overview of the museum. Nicely filmed, edited and narrated. Truly worth the 40+ minutes. Was disappointed that it was over.
😂 That is a first. Most of the time people can’t wait for me to stop talking!!
@@OlPaths I hear ya! However in this case, it's not true! This definitely wasn't someone's 'home movie' (not that I don't appreciate them but I can't sit through 10 minutes let alone 40). I really enjoyed it, thanks for making my day and I hope my sincere compliments made yours. Cheers from Toronto!
Yes, they certainly did! Thank you
Thank you Quentin for this great vid. Next time I'm in Orlando will definitely visit.
Thank you Bruce, I appreciate the positive feedback. It is certainly worth the visit.
So very enjoyable. Hope to.
see more of these kind of videos.
Absolutely, I am tossing around some more ideas for historical documentaries. Actually considering doing one on Rowland Taylor.
@@OlPaths that would be awesome. We watch Yankee in the South and they review restaurants, chalets, attractions, hiking trails and everything in the smokies. Check out their channel for some ideas.
Very professional video u did!! Good job.
What a wonderful job you did on this video.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
i went there once a long time ago. it was an amazing experience. CQD means "Come Quick Distress" actually. Also Titanic was the first ship to use SOS.
CQD does not actually stand for come quick distress, although most people think it does. I found this on line, which explains it simply .......... What does distress call CQD mean?
In 1904, the Marconi company suggested the use of “CQD” for a distress signal. Although generally accepted to mean, “Come Quick Danger,” that is not the case. It is a general call, “CQ,” followed by “D,” meaning distress. A strict interpretation would be “All stations, Distress.”
And the band played on. Bless you all. Sleep tight 👼🛳🌠🌈❤❤
Wonderful video!
Fantastic !
Been to this a couple of times and loved it.
Amazing job! Thank you.
Wonderful documentary.
Awesome and absolutely fascinating
A beautiful exhibition, and such a sad story
Very informative, well done!
Awesome presentation ❤🙏. Loved it .
Brilliant!
I’ve been fascinated by Titanic since I was a child. In 2010 I was in NYC and it just happened the huge Titanic exhibit was there. It was incredible. The week before I had been to Halifax and also seen the Titanic related museums and such there also. I’ll never forget any of it.
Sounds like you had some great history lessons very early on! I remember when Titanic was finally discovered at the bottom of the Atlantic. I was in grade school, and we spent quite a bit of time learning about this exciting discovery. I was enamored at the mere size and elegance of the ship. It wasn’t until many years later that I actually discovered we had many ships larger than Titanic. 😂 I had thought Titanic was the largest ever made! I guess in a child’s eyes, they don’t get much bigger than Titanic, at least in legend.
If you every come to Northern Ireland 🇮🇪 you will see the best collection of Titanic artifacts every plus you will see the tug boat that pulled the Titanic out to Sea.. we have the best Museums to see what it was like and Who!!!! Built the Titanic. It refers to a religions divide at the time... I would glady forward you on photos I have taken in the American Ulster's folk Park.. . Plus photos taken at the exhibition site where the Titanic was builted...
Well done and very informative.
Great video and research
This was great thank you!
Fantastic video mate.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience watching this
Took me back to when the exhibition first came to London before moving to America
Your narrative was first class and very professional ( you should do more !! )
The ironic thing is that IF this beautiful ship HADN'T sunk all this splendor would have been scrapped and forgotten!
BRILLIANT !!
Thank you Steve, I am glad you enjoyed it.
