Titanic Could've Been Sunk by a Crew Member

- The story of the Titanic seems to have been studied inside and out, and we know for a fact that the great ship was destroyed by an iceberg. But what if there was another culprit altogether? Only one person knew about this but kept it a secret for decades. And today, at last, we just might find out the truth behind the sinking of the unsinkable liner.
More details popped up after long decades: it turned out that the cabinet holding the binoculars was locked, and the key accidentally stayed on shore, so the lookout wasn’t able to notice the iceberg in time. But the real reason why the Titanic eventually hit it could be entirely different. It all started with the statement made by Lady Louise Patten, granddaughter of one of the surviving crew members of the Titanic...

Rms Titanic Of The White Star Line Sinking Around 2 20 Am Monday Morning April 15 1912 After Hitting An Iceberg In The North Atlantic: By Ken Welsh/Design Pics RM/EAST NEWS, www.eastnews.ru/pictures/pict...
Animation is created by Bright Side.
SUMMARY:
- There are lots of facts we know to be true about the Titanic. It was indeed the largest ocean liner of its time, and it sure was believed to be unsinkable for a good reason.
- Most of the survivors were passengers who couldn’t know all the details. What they knew was what they saw, and that wasn’t much.
- In 2010, Lady Louise Patten boldly said that one of the most prominent tragedies of the 20th century happened because of a steering error, and that her grandfather had been the only one who knew the truth.
- On the night of the crash, First Officer William Murdoch was on watch. Somehow, he managed to notice the iceberg before the lookouts.
- For some reason, though, Robert Hitchins, who was at the wheel, steered the liner in the opposite direction, making it go head-on at the iceberg.
- The ship smashed into the iceberg at full speed, leaving a nasty gash in its right side, which ultimately led to its sinking.
- When the Titanic pushed on, it scooped water in abundance, and the stress put on the damaged hull became simply too much. The ship began falling apart.
- Lightoller could either tell the inquirers the whole story, clearing his conscience, or he could cover up the steering mistake and Ismay’s decision to sail on, lying to the whole world but saving hundreds of people their jobs.
- It was a hard moral decision indeed, but Lightoller agreed to tell a cover-up legend.
- Lightoller was caught between two difficult moral choices, and he chose what he believed to be a small evil for the greater good.
- Thanks to his testimony, White Star Line did not go bankrupt, and its employees didn’t lose their jobs.

Hey there, BrightSiders! What's your version: what's the reason behind the Titanic sinking?
Hello im from philippines
Yo
Iceberg
Iceberg
I know why
You are of the understanding that ships of that era were using what’s called “tiller commands”, right? When an order is given “hard to starboard” the wheel is turned to starboard, and the ship turns to port. The reason for this is because if you were sailing a ship at the time that had a tiller, you would push the tiller “hard to starboard”, which would cause the ship to turn to port. It was not an error or a flaw, the crew of the titanic knew exactly what they were doing.
Portraying the crew like this is honestly a disgrace to the men and women who not only gave their lives to save the ship, but also save as many passengers as they could.
I agree with it
True
Finally one smart person
Clad someone is smart here
i see that you can't do your own research properly. Titanic used tiller commands. i think you don't know what that mean, but i'll explain it to you. when you turn the tiller to the right, a rowing boat turns to left.
well, even if titanic had an hydraulic/steam driven rudder, they STILL used the commands so "HARD TO STARBOARD" meant "turn the wheel to port"
yeah, its very hard to understand in today's perspective or completely alien, but it is how it worked back then.
My man you know it
It’s like reversing a car
Was just about to comment this. You barely even have to google search to find this information out... Disgusting how little effort was put into this video...
So charles lightoller was the reason the ship sank 😂
@@kaylebayers3376 why?
Lady Louise Patton's story allows her to paint her grandfather as a hero and since nobody is still alive who could contradict it... I'll take it with a grain of salt.
Perfect example of Yellow Journalism. This isn't true, "Hard to Starboard" in 1912 meant turn to the left. Because, they still used tiller commands. Turning the tiller to the right, (Starboard) would turn the ship to the left. Nice try, Bright Side...
^this is true.
True
Thank you
That is so true thank you for that
Hard 'a' Starboad*
There’s more holes in this story than Swiss cheese.

Even if the lookouts had binoculars, it would have been difficult to see the iceberg due to the weather conditions
Yes the mirage theory
Davin Peterson Good to see someone that doesn't have a warped view of Titanic's history.
You believe that bs story 😂 oh the water was too calm. Oh it was a starry night ohhh more lies more lies more lies 😂 you guys listen to anything you're told instead of LOOKING for the facts yourself.
Just a guy Are you joking?
Water was calm, no moon around that time. If there were waces, they would be breaking at the base
So wrong,
1. Hard a Starboard is a tiller command back in 1912, which basically means turn the ship LEFT. Which is what they did.
2. The Captain gave the order ALL STOP after the collision. Ismay was a passenger and would not be able to command the Officers at all to continue the course.
IKR.
How about do research stupit
Hey bright side. There is a thing called tiller commands. Look it up.
They used tiller commands! Murdoch ordered hard a starboard. He turned to port like he was supposed to.
I learn more about history with Bright Side instead of my History teacher
Bright side can be very wrong at some times

Why publish a completely inaccurate version of the Titanic sinking? The story is very well known and documented; this version is just fiction.
It’s a clickbait channel

@@cucing5161 these “facts” are actually fiction
Oh my god what’s with the “unsinkable”? White Star Line never claimed it “unsinkable”. The public thought it was because her sister Olympic survived the collision with HMS Hawke with 2 water tight compartments flooded.
It’s kind of interesting because after the titanic sank, the journalist that sold that line was sued
@@morgans.2183 stop with the lies
Mr. Balloffur I’m pretty sure that he was, am I wrong?
@@morgans.2183 the line was "practically unsinkable" after the fact
The Olympic is the real unsinkable ship, Sad that she got scrap in 1935
To anyone watching this, please stop. It's all a load of nonsense. Ships in 1912 used tiller commands, so left meant right and right meant left. The person who did the research for this obviously didn't do enough.
Agreed. Ikr
1. of all the key for the binoculars was in the hands of the first mate on olympic not left on land.
2. Murdoch didnt see the burg till it was about 200 yards away.
3. They were following tiller commands which flipped directions (Left=right right=left) they knew what they were doing full well and you know it.
Binoculars wouldn’t have mannered anyway due to the sea air and weather conditions
@@espnluver7525 it would have mattered.. they could have seen the iceberg from a long distance
@@miracoolgabrell But they couldn't have. There was literally no moonlight that night. Not only that, but a false horizon due to a cold air mirage is known to of occurred that night.
Dear Brightside,
Having read most of the documentation on this disaster, and Lightollers statement as well as his book, I am not convinced by this theory.
You left out one very significant point. There were two commands given..."Hard-a-starbord" AND "Full Aft"
The combination of reversing and rudder deflection has a very different hydrodynamic effect.
Recommend a tad more research on this point. Conspiracy theories are nice, but....
Thank you!
And Titanic was using tiller commands too btw
Thx for telling this i love ur videos
If CZcams was a thing back then: Hey guys welcome BACK, today we will be talking about the titanic tea!
I keep Watching these videos expecting Johnathan Franks to pop out and say,
“Pure Fiction. We made it up. This one was invented by a writer.” But it never happens and the fact that the truth is never told to such a large audience makes me sad.
Are these bright side titanic videos false?
front back left and right are not nautical terms and should not be used to describe a ship
I love your CZcams channel, Great stuff, Cheers, from Australia :)
Keep on giving more details on Titanic 😘
*_Loved your videos_* ❤️
Why lock up the binoculars? I mean that seems a bit excessive....
Binos were and still are very expensive even to day. So back then they were locked up while in Port. A practice still that's still in use to day. And the key being left ashore S H.
@@colingibson8018 I guess the lesson is... Take the key
@@bryan123483 ....No leave it on board. In the key box.Where the OOD has the master. . Common practice.
@@colingibson8018 Touche
🔭📹📷🎥🎬 can't find binoculars lol
0:11 you mean sunk by an iceberg not destroyed
2:52 unless that photo was taken when he was younger, that looks NOTHING like William Murdoch
3:16 "hard a starboard" is a tiller command which means turn to the left
3:19 it's spelled "Hichens" not Hitchens
3:46 he only did a "hard to port" which means turn to the right, after the collision when Murdoch tried to prevent the propellers from hitting the iceberg
4:32 here we go. Bruce Ismay never ordered the engines full ahead. the engines were ordered by Captain Smith to go half ahead for a short time. he was never concerned about his reputation. the only reason these lies about Ismay exist is because an enemy of his from the press succeeded in tarnishing Ismay's reputation by lying about him
5:06 the officers and captain never gathered in Murdoch's cabin at ANY point in the sinking
5:41 Ismay never talked to Lightoller before the Inquiry
6:01 White Star would have never gone bankrupt if that happened(and it didn't)
6:30 because it's a TILLER command which hard a starboard means turn to the left and hard a port means turn to the right
6:38 that was happening WELL before the 20'th century. steamships were common by the 1850's
7:08 again.. hard a starboard and hard a port are TILLER commands
WOW Thank you for telling me this
When you see a steamer her lights upon ahead, your PORT your helm (rudder to starboard) and show your RED (port side navigation light). Or in nowadays terms, vessels on opposit courses need to change their courses to starboard like they were suposed to do in 1912. The order on the Titanic was a helm order "hard a starboard" which turned the vessel to port. No confusion here.
Titanic: I AM UNSINKABLE
~*3 seconds later*~
Titanic: AHHH IM SINKING
The account given in this story about the steering command and action of the helmsman is false.
You-you could’ve just said...
“This is false.”
But no you’re trying to act so smart
starryyy Or they wanted to be specific.
But is it
How do u know
@@jordanpyper7460 how do you know
Great video
No matter which way he turned, the iceberg was right infront, it would still hit
It wouldnt sink if they went port cuz the iceberg hit the thin part of the hull which was weakened by a boiler fire
@@rioroxannecordova7571 no, the sinking would be worse. After the fire, which did happen but wasn’t that bad, not being weakened. They moved the coal from the starboard to port.. the iceberg would hit then.. the ship would sink in one hour, because of the coal being now to the port side, and how the Scotland road sank, and the gangways being opened on the port side, the ship would capsize to the port side, making it sink faster.
@TheRealLoganYT I know, I. Saying if the titanic struck the iceberg on the port side, that would happen
@TheRealLoganYT Learn how to read , honestly.
The channel name “bright side” video “not so bright”
Tiller commands:
Turning to port (left):
Wheel goes >
Ship goes <
Turning to starboard (right):
Wheel goes <
Ship goes >
The Titanic used these. Ships after Titanic used these. Ships before Titanic used these. Tiller commands are still in use today on some ships and boats.
Keep up the great stuff
This video is ok, but can you please stop blaming people for your problems? I'm not trying to offend anyone, but it looks like Bright side is pointing fingers and is convinced that this "fact" or theory is a done deal or truly factual and has no holes to it.
A video riddled with inaccuracies.... As many have already pointed out in the comments, the Titanic's crew were using tiller commands; in short, the steering commands were correctly followed. Additionally, the video stated at one point that they knew they'd hit the iceberg in 'a couple of minutes' if they did not turn the ship. This is implying that the crew had quite some time to evaluate the situation and carry out evasive maneuvers. In reality, they had barely any time. I forget the exact estimates (I believe it was 30 seconds or so), but it is known for certain that there was less than a minute from the time the iceberg was spotted until the collision occurred. Hardly enough time to move a massive ocean liner, which is traveling at a fairly fast speed, around an obstacle that is just about immediately in front of the ship. And that brings me to another point of contention in this video. The graphics that show the collision sequence in this video portray the iceberg as being initially positioned quite far to the left of Titanic. In reality, it would have been more or less directly in front of the ship. While this may have just been done to emphasize the impact of the supposed steering error, we have already determined that the steering error itself never existed. Either way, this video is very poorly made and seems to have lacked any adequate research in its production.
So I made my first comment only 3:30 minutes into the video. Just seconds after resuming the video, the inaccuracies continue.... The video shows the ship turning left, but then we're told that the crew realized their nonexistent mistake and began to turn right, YET THE ICEBERG HITS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SHIP!!?!?! If the front of the Titanic was already to the left of the iceberg, WHY would they then suddenly switch directions and start turning towards it? Based on this video's portrayal, the ship would have been just fine if it HAD continued turning left and didn't turn right to rectify the 'steering error.' Anyways, I will refrain from further commenting on this video. It's not worth my time anyways. I just hope people don't take what this video says as the truth.
@@SemiColin234 Because ships pivot from the middle, they tried to go left around the berg and then turn right to bring the stern round. continuing to turn left would have caused the stern to hit.
Your channel is the best
It snapped in half while it was sinking-
And the captain didnt want the crew members to communicate with the passengers (except the people who served food and catering)
Loved your all video.....
It's $105,000 to visit Titanic 😒 I wish I could see it before disappears forever 😭
Easy first tell everything tatnik and you get money
REALLY?
I saw nomaduc yesterday titanics tender, its not too expensive so its the best way to see white star's glory
Bright side extremely amazing keep it 👍proud of you
Its called a tillercommand. in 1912 and prior, a hard to starboard order would turn a ship to port. fact check it.
English subtitle came backkkkk. Love you Bright Side. Have a nice day ❤
Hai Duong Nguyen hi
I love your channel
I loved your animation,
There are so many errors in this video. It wasn’t minutes between spotting the iceberg and hitting it. It was around 30 seconds. Also I very much doubt 4 people could fit in William Murdoch’s cabin. Maybe Chief Officer Wilde’s room but definitely not any lower officers room.
Chief Officer Wilde went to go get Lightoller on the port side and asked where the firearms were. Because he was the former first officer he knew where they were locked up in Murdoch's cabin, so yes, they ALL went into the first officer's cabin to distribute the firearms.
Honor And Glory Ain’t Gonna Like This.
But Murdoch Ordered To Turn To Port Because He Didn’t Want To Hit The Propellers. You Have The Ship In The Wrong Setup.
YourAverageRailfanner 4014 right after they side swiped the berg he began to turn hard a port
Even though you watch titanic honor and glory, you still wrong. On the titanic, hard to starboard ment turn left. (Your right about the propeller thing)
Alfie A, the command given was "Hard A' Starboard" which meant to turn the ship to the left, so yes, YourAverageRailfanner was right.
No, It is some called “Tiller Commands” which are used on sails boat even though titanic wasn’t a sailboat they were still popular and used.
I learn something new every time I watch ur vids🤓🤓lol
RIP TO THEM WHI DIED 😭😭😭😭😢❤️💐
You mean who*
*_Titanic Passengers, crews_*
Great video! Always nice to hear this story! I wish you an amazing day! Love from a small youtuber :)
Back then they still used sailboat orders for if you were using a tiller so turning left was the correct thing to do when hearing hard a starboard
everything went so smoothly for a perfect disaster like a block buster movie
Turning the wheel to Starboard,turns the ship to port,same as turning the wheel to port
Couldn’t imagine the survivors guilt that Hutchins must’ve felt after the titanic sunk. All from a single error. It was so sad and tragic all around..😔
Error? It would have still hit nomatter what they did, reverse would stall her and cause serious damage to engines, full stop, would drift forwards still
Forever Christina
Don’t feel bad, this video is a complete lie
@@tacosmexicanstyle7846 ikr
This is not true, hard to starboard on the titanic ment turn left.
Forever Christina ships of titanic’s era used what’s called tiller commands, the crew did exactly what they were supposed to, they knew exactly what they were doing
I’m watching this a few days before going on a cruise
Back in 1912 they used tiller commands. Hard a’ starboard meant turn left. Even though starboard was the right side. This is because turning the tiller right moves the rudder to the left, turning the ship left. When they say hard a’ starboard they mean turn the tiller to the right not the rudder. This is an example of people not knowing what they are talking about and thinking they’re right without doing any research. Bright side, talking about how titanic sank isn’t your job, leave that to the scientists and historians. And this lady obviously doesn’t know anything about ships.
Can we make this he most liked comment on CZcams 🧐🧐
Maybe not
Also don’t beg for likes
Try doing it at the CZcams rewind 2018
Theprincessgamerlol プリンセスゲーマー笑 haha
i know
I think Hitchens got confused at that moment and understood it as to turn left instead of right. Murdoch saw the error but even if they did turn right thereafter it would be to late. So I think he stuck with his gut and hope ship would miss. However his mistake was that he also ordered the ship to stop and this led to decreasing speed. Titaniccould had missed the ice had she just stuck to her speed. Cant blame murdoch as it's human reaction to stop when you see obstruction. But the command hard to starboard was interpreted differently that night.
Uhhh, no, Ismay did not order the crew to sail full ahead, the Titanic was moving for a brief time while she was trying to stop.
And also, no, there were steam ships in the 1870s. Yes, they still HAD sails, but they were still steam powered.
This is good for my history class
Indeed! Are you gonna tell the story?
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL woah!
Shadow 2017
Probably don’t this use for anything, it’s almost entirely factually incorrect...
The ship never collided with the iceberg head on, which is clear from the fact that the hull didn’t have large ‘gashes’ on it from the iceberg. The ship also used tiller commands, which means that ‘hard to starboard’ refers to ‘turn left’... Whoever made this video needs to be sacked lol
At Start: So, we are going to watch the *Titanic movie* again.
At Last: Where was the *Famous Titanic Pose* ??

@Vageknight gaming That's for you buddy. You enjoy that.
Bright side told 375 lies in this video. Bright side said that the titanic had 2 minutes before it crashed. Yet it only had 37 seconds. He says the helmsman realised his mistake and finally turned the right way. The helmsman never corrected his mistake because he had already turned the ship a lot and correcting the mistake would only leave a head on collision making the titanic sink in an hour and a half. Faster then what it originally had.
As far as i have managed to see, when they moved right the iceberg was drifting aproximately 8km/h right as the titanic was going 34km/h north and 16km/h right, meaning titanic had a 8km/h faster left turn, had it turned left it whould have had a 24km/h faster RIGHT turn, also meaning it could easily move
If titanic wouldn’t of gone straight through the ice Berg it wouldn’t have sank
0:41 Bet everyone aboard experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake

Who watching this during quarantine?
Make it blue
Actually the Titanic buff that I am, it, it is totally believable. Even the movie had the scene in it. The order hard to starboard is given well in advance . It is completely possible that he panniced and turned the wheel the wrong way. The Wheel man is clearly shown turning the wheel to the left (port.) The order was (starboard) right. By the time he corrected it along with the tiny rudder it was just to late.
It kinda makes sense for it to be a steering error because look at planes; human error is usually how a lot of planes go down
Except it wasn't, this video was wrong from beginning to end
Hearsay. Very disappointing BRIGHT SIDE.💡
Please Present theories for what they are.....theories, not facts .
He said hard a starboard the starboard is the right. Hard a starboard means go left. It’s confusing but if you push something on it’s starboard side, it will go left.
The bridge officers had binoculars, but didn’t think to give it to the lookouts in the crows nest. The incompetence of the officers starting with the captain is incredible.
The binocs were in a locker, but it was locked, and the guy who had the key was a fired officer
Binoculars wouldn’t have helped.
Anyone from Tamilnadu
I’m studying about the titanic and I know about almost everything about it and I’m building the ship in Minecraft
Vxltz YT well I sincerely hope you’re NOT taking lessons from this channel as they talk absolute nonsense
😂 I’m not
Vxltz YT Ah, good lad! 🤣🤣🤣
It is true that the order was hard to starboard. It is true that the quartermaster steered hard to port. I have always heard that the RMS Titanic used tiller commands, not rudder commands. That would mean that the order to turn starboard, would actually a order to bring the ship to port, where as rudder commands, starboard means starboard.
I was really hoping it wasn't this common misconception. Hard-a-starboard was a tiller command, meaning push the tiller all the way to starboard which would push the rudder all the way to port and turn the ship to port. The Titanic was steered with a wheel, but in 1912 they still used tiller commands, and hard-a-starboard really did mean turn the wheel all the way to port.
Do you really think one of the senior officers (Murdoch was 3rd in command, behind only Chief Officer Wilde and Captain Smith) would just stand there and not do or say anything if the quartermaster turned the ship opposite to what he ordered him to?
CO Wilde was sleeping, and Captain Smith was in his navigation room, only Murdoch was on the bridge.
@@mr.balloffur And Murdoch wouldn't have just stood there saying nothing if Hitchens was turning the wheel the wrong way.

The company of Titanic was called White Star Line,and if they hadn’t been so careless to: lock the binocular room,steer right and ask the ship to sail full speed,none of this disaster could happen!
What shoes do strangers wear? Sneakers.
Have a good day everyone!
Don't Listen to Him, He's Wrong "Hard a' Starboard in Nautical Terms means Turn the wheel Hard Left as Soon as Possible You see, the Iceberg was to the RIGHT of the Ship
Mary Davis thank you, I was confused how they could of struck the ship on the right side, after changing course last minute and turning right. If that's the case then they would of been on the left side of the iceberg and actually steered right into it
I haven’t watched this yet but it’s either about a fire or the “Hard to starboard” Murdoch said “Hard to starboard!” But the crew member on the wheel turned hard to port.
It was a tiller command.
If only hard a starboard meant turn to port. Which it did.
When u run out of video ideas
I want background voice to be of my History Teacher
Oh thanx!
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL you mean thanks
Copy cat
In those early days steering orders were given by the tiller direction rather than the rudder direction regardless whether the ship was equipped with a steering wheel or not. The command 'hard to starboard' was in fact an instruction to steer left by steering the tiller to right. Applying modern conventions is simply an incorrect interpretation of how this was done at the time.
they do this exact thing on the movie.he says hard starboard and they turn left.and they put the the starboard prop in reverse which would pull the ship right.if you want to turn left fast you would put the left prop in reverse
0:59 ahh I see the titanic sinking from the stern that is very normal
People still talking about this ship in 2020
Yes amazing isn't it. Due to so many unanswered questions and conflicting answer's. Until someone finally invents time travel we will never no the absolute truth.
So until then it's all talk and speculation punctuated by small known snipets of fact.
No, no , no the lookouts and Murdoch spotted the burg at almost the same time and he said “hard to starboard” which in 1912 meant turn LEFT. And he also gave the command “all stop” not “full aft” because if they did do that the whole ship would vibrate and a bunch of survivors say they felt nothing until the collision. And officer lightoller was sleeping at the time of the collision. Hitchens did nothing wrong. If the ship turned right it would have hit the burg straight on.
If they steered right instead of left they could have hit the iceberg on the other side. If that happened the Titanic would have sunk a lot quicker for at least two reasons. This would most likely have killed more people.
