When the Titanic finally lost its battle with the North Atlantic sea and disappeared into the abyss below the waves, it was and still is one of the worst maritime disasters to ever take place. Taking with it over 1,500 lives, it is without a doubt one of the most famous tragedies in modern day history.
The story itself is well known. Nicknamed the “unsinkable ship”, after having departed Southampton, England on the 10th April 1912, the Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage to travel to New York City.
The ship had contained a mixture of class of passenger, from millionaires and businessmen, to the lower class of society who were eager to begin a new life in America.
But just five days into the journey, disaster struck when the ships starboard side scraped alongside a giant iceberg that had already been reported floating around 400 nautical miles south off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
The rest, as we know is history, and the story of the Titanic has been written in many books, as well as turned into movies and documentaries, with some perhaps adding mythology into the mix.
And this brings us to the story of a small group of courageous men, and one in particular, who have quite rightly become the epitome of the heroics that took place during that frightening and devastating morning on Monday, 15th April, 1912.
This is our tribute to Wallace Hartley, bandmaster for the RMS Titanic.

Thank you for a wonderful tribute to Wallace Hartley. The sinking of the Titanic was such a tragedy, should never be forgotten. So good that they found his body and were able to bring him back to his home town to be buried. Thanks for sharing and also paying homage to this remarkable man.
Thank you Shirley. It's impossible to even begin to think of how many people came out on the day of his funeral to pay their respects. The newspaper photos from the time are just incredible.
An excellent tribute, just as a footnote in Southampton the last port of the RMS Titanic there is a fitting memorial plaque to Wallace Hartley and the band, as well as the engineers and Stokers who worked to keep the lights working until the great ship disappeared beneath the waves. Being from the Southampton area, I was always brought up with the story of the Titanic. The Town as it was at the time provided most of the crew. There are several monuments around the City. Which I have taken my son around to see. Martin John Brooks es. I am fascinated by all your great stories, which now I am retired I have been eagerly watching. Thank you once again
Thank you Martin for sharing this information with us all. Very interesting. I'm glad your enjoying our content 😊
Thank you for this tribute . It is very sobering and respectful. The movie Titanic showed the true horror of that day, and while you were talking I could hear the screams and panic echoing in the background.
In Islam we believe that anyone who dies in accidents where they are killed by either drowning or fire or as in this case being injured before death are considered martyrs and have a special place in Heaven.
R.I.P. the passengers and staff who died in the Titanic that day. Your tragedy will always be remembered and prayers will be said for you.
Thank you for watching and commenting and sharing another culture with us as this helps us understand other ways of how tragic events are looked upon by other culture. So thank you 😊

Thank You Sir , from America ..For a very interesting and Respectful tribute to this Brave and Honorable Man..
Tha is for your kind comment. I was still feeling my way in terms of speaking into a camera, but I'm hoping this video comes across okay.
@@DaysofHorrorYou're doing well. And everything you said and presented was very kind and respectful. 🙏 May you and yours have many Beautiful Blessings.🙏
Interesting and informative video, but o so tragic and sad for those who lost their lives, their families. Also for the survivers who's life would never be the same. Well done to the guy who spoke so knowledgeable about Wallace Henry Hartley. R.I.P. Wallace.
This video made me cry. How absolutely beautiful, the tribute you made.💜
Thank you so much!

@@DaysofHorror Just realised we are famous me and My dog Malcom 12:09 walking up the hill lefter hand side

A good respectful tribute . A brave man who hasn't been forgotten.
So very sad all those lives lost especially the lower class quarters
💯 😢
A beautiful tribute to our local hero. Thank you Chris. Thanks to Simon Entwistle for his great speech on Wallace Hartley.
Cheers Paul! Brilliant to meet up with you yesterday too. Simon was fantastic and a great storyteller.
Thank you for playing it because I didn't know the song.
I believe they did play on.
Thanks excellent tribute to an unsung hero fantastic memorial 👻
Chris your technical skills are geting realy good, fantastic opening. It dosnt matter to what point they stoped playing...they played as long as they physically could. They had no way of getting off...that should be highlighted but they self sacrificially did all they could to alleviate the fears of others...true heros.
Colne has such a great musical history I used to love going to the British Rytham and Blues festival held in the town. Best memory was in a Chinese afterwards and a guy ordered special fried rice....it came with spam in it...he looked at it and declared to the whole chippy...How long has Spam been Chinese ????
Thanks for your kind words 😃 From reading many articles on the story written in the papers at the time, I believe the witnesses heard the band play that hymn. But just like today, there are cynics who will always find something 'flawed' no matter what. I couldn't believe how many letters were sent to the newspapers from people not believing the witness accounts.
Wallace Hartley is my daughters step mothers great grandfather. If that makes sense. Beautiful place.
Colne has a tremendous amount of history. I was surprised how much when I was looking into the Wallace Hartley story. And I only live 15 minutes away 🤣 Thanks for watching 😁
Wallace Hartley didn't have any children
Such a haunting tune.
Hi days of horror. I enjoyed watching the video. The body of Wallace Hartley was found on the 25th April. In the Leeds Mercury newspaper on Monday 29th April 1912 it is stated that there have been more victims remains taken on board the Mackay Bennett ship which included the body of Wallace Hartley. The notification in the article is dated Saturday which would have been the 27th April 1912, so the body was found prior to the 27th April. Also in an official registry of Hartley, a.k.a. Body 224, it stated that his body had been in the water 10 days after the disaster which would have been the 25th April 1912. So the body of Wallace Hartley was found and identified on the 25th April 1912. The chapel where the body of Wallace was taken to is no longer standing and was demolished. The original 1857 chapel until 1873 which became too small still stands across the road. They then built the 700 capacity chapel which no longer stands.The original chapel was then used as the Sunday school until the 1882 Sunday school was built which is now the current chapel and seen in the video
Some say on foggy nights on the Atlantic, you can still hear a violin playing Nearer My God to Thee
Something tells me I've also heard of that 🤔 I'm sure I read this in one of those older 'haunted' books.
@@DaysofHorror Boo
A well presented and respectful documentary.
Thanks again Diddy for watching and your continued support 😊
another brilliantly put together video mate. I really do look forward to your next ones. 😎👌.
I'm gonna have to start sharing your videos to get you some more subs as you should have thousands by now with the work you put into it
Many thanks for the kind words! We have loads more coming up!
Terrific film. I've just come across your channel and have subscribed. I can't believe how much content you've accumulated. I am certainly going to enjoy catching up with your videos. I did a video about Wallace's home of 1912 in Dewsbury. Have a look at my channel if you get chance its all about history, walks & travel.
Many thanks!! And I'll certainly pop on over to your channel 👍 I'm hoping we are getting better at talking about the stories we cover. It's still a little awkward talking in front of a camera 🤣
@@DaysofHorror You don't come across awkward at all. Whilst I have put quite a few films on YT I've only recently tried vlogging and I don't find it easy at all so only the latest film is a vlog. I was given some advice about talking to camera especially in public and that was a doctor doesn't become a doctor overnight they go to medical school. So I am going to hold on to that thought in future and hope practice makes me better. Good luck in all you do.
There is no doubt that they played to calm everyone and played the ‘nearer my god to thee’ hymn, but it’s a ghastly horrible lie to say that they played as the titanic was sinking. This is proven fact not only by the inquiry, but also by at least two known survivor’s who could recall the incident and their stories. Eva Hart and Edith Russell. Their stories are on CZcams if anyone’s interested, I’m more familiar with Eva Hart’s story as she’s from the area in which I live too. She also has a Pub named after her.
