- In "The Search for the Titanic" Orson Welles takes the viewers into a massive expedition trying to locate the remains of the famous unsinkable ship at the bottom of the Atlantic North waters several years after its sinking on it's maiden voyage back on April 1912.
The Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New Your City. There were 1,514 people that drowned in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. "The Unsinkable Titanic" sunk and today the story lives on in fans of those who love this great ship and it's history.

Thank You For Posting This Mark. I Lost The VHS Tape To This One. Great Documentary.
@@michaellomeli8096 you are very welcome Michael. More Titanic films to come.
Can you upload the full 1980 Part 1 of the 2 pack set? I really enjoy watching the entire expedition. Lots of good parts are cut put on this version
@@joawsome900 here you go czcams.com/video/kuiM3xbpMDc/video.html
Several years later? Try 69 years
If you have Orson Welles himself narrating your documentary, you automatically win
No doubt!.
Except for the part you have to actually find the Titanic
I’ve seen so many titanic videos but hearing Orson tell the story is like hearing it for the first time! Gives me chills… what a story teller!
Thank you for posting! I can’t believe the collection of videos you have
For Titanic week this year,I'm rewatching all of your docs,mark
Jack Grimm and his team claimed they located the wreck of Titanic by photographing what appeared to be a propeller. It was obvious that the image was nothing more than a large stone laying in a mud plain on the ocean floor. If Grimm would have found the wreck, a debris trail would have taken him right to the main wreck. But no debris trail were ever mentioned in Grimm's 3 expeditions. Besides, Robert Ballard proved that Jack Grimm's location where he was searching was roughly 13 nautical miles north of the actual location where Robert Ballard found the debris trail and a boiler, that led him to the actual wreck site. The rest is in the history books!
Thank god for this upload a old book store has been out of business for a decade and finally got sold and emptied out I was fortunate enough to go through and pick out any vhs I wanted and today I put the tape in and it was just wrecked couldn't track it clear at all and I love orsen and titanic thank you so much
You are very welcome Mr S.
It’s the player not the tape…
AHHHH the French champagne!
He lived long enough to get the news of the ship being found but AFAIK it wasn't until the next expedition (in 1986) when they finally realized she split.
When Ballard and his team discovered the wreck Sept 1, 1985 it was discovered pretty quickly that day that she was indeed split in two on the ocean floor. In fact, a boiler was the first piece of wreckage seen on the video screens..then debris and then the hull, etc.. It was not until a maned dive to the wreck itself by Ballard in 1986 actually provided close up, color video of the damage, the split and even a limited view in the interior using the Jason robot. Fantastic technology for the time.
Mark this is one hell of a channel you have!
Here’s a challenge for you!
Find an RTE (Irish) documentary called ‘Titanic Confession’ which examines the case of the Norwegian ship ‘Samson’ which was allegedly illegally seal hunting in the area Titanic went down and yet did not come to her aid.
Such an impressive documentary that the UK Government of the time used it to take another look at Stanley Lord’s role on the night.
I'll see what I can do
@@titanicfilmsbymark That is all I can ask! 🤞🤞👍👍
Believe it or not their camera sled passed right over the wreck of the Titanic and did not detect it.
They had a chance!
Mark you have several good videos on Titanic, i am fascinated with the sinking of the Titanic
Wow. I've never seen this before. Orson Welles? I'm in.
*I thank you uploader for this incredible documentary that I've been searching to find, and the hero on Reddit who linked me this video!*
You are welcome John.
@@titanicfilmsbymark ☺️☺️☺️☺️
The man behind the war of the worlds radio drama is back for round two
You are thinking of H.G Wells
Welles watches TV when Bob Ballard discovers the wreck: "Mwaaaahaah the French."
OMG, that peppy song at 15:07 - I've got no words for that!
I've been trying to locate the origin of this song! Does anyone know the band that did it, or if it was ever released anywhere?
I’m a simple man, I see a Titanic documentary from the 80’s, I click
I have a twin VHS tapes set and it seems like both Expeditions in 80 and 81 are longer than this grouped together video. Orson Welles video is 1h and 30 mins long and the James Drury one is 40 minutes on it's own. Same two documentaries but each one longer than this. It seems like they just cut down and focused on more of the trip than some of the behind-the-scenes footage that occurred preparing for the 80 trip and the 1981 trip. I'll try to upload them. Hopefully I don't get any infringement charges. Nevertheless this is a good upload, these videotapes were notorious for being very grainy and crappy after extensive watching.
They were very close finding it.
Within 1.5 miles!
Amazing to think Orson Welles was born three years after the Titanic sinking and lived to see the Titanic discovery a month before his death.
I was hoping this was the Lenord Nemoy In Search of episode about Titanic
If only I could go back in time and tell these guys:
“ITS BEHIND YOU!”
If they thought that was a propellor blade, you'd think they would slow down and drag the camera to the left or right to spot the hull which was no doubt right next to it. Why would they just stop right after the sighting? They probably saw nothing else nearby and the show had to pretend that they just ran out of time.
Half moon at 15:26 😂
15:05 song about finding the Titanic
15:25 and the titanic crack 😂
Luckily "Historic travels" prepared me for the ridiculous vocals in this documentary.
Also I can't get over it how they ask the captain why he decided to take part in the expedition and he simply answers there was no other captain available 😂😂
Orson Welles had a reputation of not finishing projects and not working well with others. Of coarse all this has since been proven nonsense. I love this small film with some of his acting and narration (which he was so perfect for with that amazing voice)
I realize many know him from “War if the Worlds” 1938 October 30th shocker over the old time radio, but he is also known for so much more. Creating The Mercury Theatre on the air radio program responsible for some of the best radio adaptations of all time. Perhaps the greatest radio drama still to this day “The Hitchhiker” later done by Welles again on “Suspense” then of course his film work. Citizen Kane will always be the worlds greatest film. If mankind presented God with humanity’s greatest work of film art. Surely “Kane” would be that film.
If old radio programs in the same vein as large ocean liner content are added to this channel. Welles made two greats that would fit right in.
“The story of the first ship to Antarctica told through first person narration of journals for accuracy and recreated drama interwoven to make it a great program. Welles has also made Moby Dick adaptations on radio drama.
Again… awesome film Mark. Thank You
1958 titanic
Dr ellen herron is a fluent speaker.i wonder about her reaction and thoughts when the ship was eventually located.
Too bad they sailed over the actual wreck of Titanic and mistaken a rock for a propeller blade.
If Grimm had allowed the scientists to conduct a methodical search, they would have found the wreck. Instead he ran all over the place, wasting time on sonar targets they had identified on the first expedition, to justify the expense.
Then, after the second expedition, Grimm again tried to justify the expense by claiming that a rock was Titanic’s propeller.
it's interesting that you have some "flag-waving" artefacts near the top of the picture, how did you capture this tape?
On my VCR player via my computer
@@titanicfilmsbymark these artefacts is normally associated with vcr being played on vintage tv. could you give the model of vcr and capture device?
thanks
The navy really found it but gave the man where they believe it was because they were looking for something else top secret and they were right, they gave him only one person who found it and he did
14:49
Yes, what is there?
Oceania’s blades would have been much smaller than titanic.
I wonder if they legitimately found a blade from the nuronic* which went down in a similar location to titanic but still not found
You may mean the Naronic.
49:47
Titanic was founded until September 1st 1985 by Robert Ballard and his search team who found first.
