April 14 was an eventful day, even aside from the late night collision. From Christian Services to dinner parties, Sunday was the biggest day of the voyage.
... so much detail. as a kid, before this ship was found, I read every book I could find about the titanic (sometimes twice) ... and I never learned half as much detail as this guy uncovered.
If I recall correctly, part of the reason Phillips got annoyed with Californian's wireless operator was the fact that the short distance between the two ships meant that the transmission from Californian was quite loud in Phillips' headset.
I love that line so much. (Also wow, a comment referencing the film without a ton of people bitching about somebody referencing the film. Could we please have more of that?)
@@reloadpsi Youre right,thats what im saying,that movie is so brilliant its outstanding,but this is a video for Titanic herself and her real passangers,so i would prefer someone would focus on that rather on "Jack draws rose on this day" and such
ReloadPsi I agree with what you mean completely, but I think AJS means this is the real titanic while Rose wasn’t actually on the titanic. I guess AJS comment was pretty off topic and it is a good line
I want to take a moment and just appreciate the ship lights reflecting off the iceberg as it passed by. That was phenomenally well done and quite beautiful.
The weather was Diamond Dust that night according to one documentary I saw. That would have made visibility very low, even though it looks clear. Diamond Dust is a real problem today, but wasn't a known phenomenon in 1912. Its basically when the air is filled with tiny frozen water droplets. So small, their near microscopic. This would explain why Titanic couldn't see the ice berg until it was too late.
Hope not to miss it! So many sad things and incredible stories of heroism and courage that happened that night, RIP Titanic's passengers and crew lost 😞
I really feel for Phillips. He worked extra hard for such a long period of time, and then he has to work even longer and more frantically to send distress signals. And in the end he ends up dying as well. If I recall correctly, an ice warning that was recieved but not delivered was because there is a particular header a message is supposed to have when its a priority message from another ship to be delivered to the bridge or captain and this warning did not include that foreword, (and that could have been the Californian's message but I dont remember).
It was _Mesaba's,_ at 9:38 PM. _Californian's_ message from 10:55 PM (less than an hour before the collision and less than twenty miles away) wasn't even copied down. Phillips just told Evans to fuck off and go to bed, and that's exactly what Evans did.
I am just realizing how close they were to NY when it had sank (not bad since the speed of the ship was about 25 mph). The ship sank on the outskirts of southeastern Canada. No wonder the water was so cold during those nights in April. They should’ve waited til at least May or June for the maiden voyage
I cannot thank you enough for your channel. Over the past couple of years the information you painstaking research and share turns on another light that illuminates this 107 year old disaster a little more. As such, those involved become more human, not just a name in history books and movies. If forces one to ask “what would I have done that night? How would I have reacted? With stoic bravery, stunned silence, uncontrolled panic...? I think of parents trying to comfort their children knowing they are not going to survive the night despite wearing a life vest. I think of the survivors in the lifeboats listening to the screams of the dying in the water knowing their loved one was among those suffering a slow, painful, horrific death. And then the silence that followed. Every single person on the Titanic had a story. This channel brings all that and so much more into focus. Thank you for your unprecedented research.
107 years ago, history was made. I shall definitely be here for the LIVE STREAM tonight! I just hope that I don't fall asleep before 2:20 am tomorrow morning! The team at Titanic: Honor and Glory are making the historic event happen right before our eyes!
@@Daniel_Huffman Thanks, Daniel. I was aware of Titanic's call sign. I have studied this ship and her history for about 38 years now, having been fortunate enough to have met a few of the actual survivors in person before their final 'journeys.' Also met Mr. Walter Lord ( have both of his Titanic books signed by him) and Dr. Robert Ballard (who also signed the first of Mr. Lord's books for my collection!).
One thing about Phillips brushing off the final warning from "Californian" that is rarely mentioned is HOW Evans attempted it.It was considered a standard practice if you were attempting to contact another vessel that was in communication with someone else, to tap out a request to 'break-in' to their communication. It was the Marconi equivalent of putting up your hand before talking. Cyril Evans didn't do this. He just barged right in with the ice message. That was likely what upset Phillips: that Evans was violating operator's protocols so thoughtlessly. Evans later admitted he had erred in not asking to cut in first. That was why he took no real offence from Phillips' response: he knew that he himself had screwed up in a really basic way and likely had earned the rebuke.
In S.O.S Titanic, with Susan St. James and David Warner , David's character asked a deck steward if there would be a lifeboat drill and the guy replied, Normally, *"I'd say Yes, but in the case of the Titanic, she's one huge great lifeboat herself."*
In a minor defense of the Californian, one note made their message unique - everyone else had reported the ice, but for the first time, a ship was stopped by it. Now, agreed, Phillips was overworked, exhausted and had just almost had his eardrums blown out by Californian’s spark, she was so close. So the irritability is understood. And let’s be fair, if nothing else had happened that night, it could be just written off as yet another ice warning. Except it was the last. And it was different.
I'm loving these updates, so fascinating to hear what was going on day to day. I really got interested in The Titanic when my friend told me his great-great uncle was Wallace Hartley! The scary thing is, he looks like his twin but with lighter hair that's all. Anyway, great videos and I look forward to the live stream.
Massive applause for the videos you're posting on this formidable channel! I love the effort you're putting in to it while developing the game! Historical education at it's finest! 👏👏👏💯💯💯👌👌👌
Did my eyes deceive me of that collision render was there light coming from the punctures in the hull? If so wow ... you guys know how to show your passion!
Will bring up the collision tonight on Twitter. Really looking forward to seeing the updated sinking (btw, saw your latest postcard; the smoke now looks FANTASTIC: now it's just the water that needs fixing, and from there, it should be smooth sailing animation-wise :)! It begins....
The last day she ever saw daylight. If one thinks about it had they done the Lifeboat drill the iceberg that was floating in Titanic's path might have floated away harmlessly by the time Titanic reached the spot. Because I don't know how many hours it would have taken for the lifeboats to lower and then be raised up again but surely it would be enough to prevent disaster.
@Louise X Binoculars wouldn't have worked. That's one of the misconceptions about the whole thing. They are used for inspecting an object and not detecting one. Binoculars wouldn't have helped. And yes I have seen the footage.
It’s already 5:15pm here in the UK so I’ll probably have to catch up on your new Real Time sinking tomorrow. As for tonight, I’m gonna stick with my original plan of having both your original sinking video and the 1997 Titanic movie on at the same time.
@@bOObies2 I kinda thought that, in the context of the situation. Don't think Philps was right, (all warnings of Ice SHOULD have been taken seriously) But we know that NOW. I don't know if even the CAPTAIN (Smith) was too worried about it. Hindsight is 20/20
Joe K ...I totally ignored there were ships with the names of Italian regions. I am from Lucania (now commonly called “Basilicata”), while Campania is the name of Naple’s region. Wow.
Its Only me who is crazy about the fact that Game of Thrones was Shot at the Titanic Studios (Where titanic was Built) and the show first episode will be today?!
Also on this day: a while before the collision, first class passenger James met Alec seidelmann, James' cabin neighbor. Alec did not survive the disaster.
You guys ROCK!!! OMG! I'll be there. Sad, but EXCELLENT WORK. If I had the MONEY to help out, you guys would get a PILE of it! This is AMAZING work! What got you so interested in this ship?!
HAHA, i have easter break so i will be away from school for a week. lol. But sad for you and sorry that i laughed at you at the beginning of this message, plz don't kill me.
it'll be too late for me where I live for the live stream, but promise I'll watch the video in the next few days :-) ..and Game of Thrones is starting..
Imagine if they did do a lifeboat drill, would the iceberg have drifted out of the Titanic's path? What would the Titanic's fate have been then; torpedoed during WW1, scrapped in the 30s, or even survived into preservation. It's strange how massive historical events hang on the thinnest little thread of time.
i would love to be there! but unfortunately i will not be able to attend due to having to work tomorrow. so i wish you all good luck with the live stream! :)
... so much detail.
as a kid, before this ship was found, I read every book I could find about the titanic (sometimes twice) ... and I never learned half as much detail as this guy uncovered.
?
Have you read the book by Walter Lord "A Night To Remember" ?
Paulie Duguay no, a night to remember is fiction based on true events.
I do have it on my wishlist though, but not really for informational purposes.
@@claireconover what parts we're fiction based? I have read that book at least 6X
Paulie Duguay if you wanna call it fact, you probably think rose & jack were real people too.
go irritate someone else.
If I recall correctly, part of the reason Phillips got annoyed with Californian's wireless operator was the fact that the short distance between the two ships meant that the transmission from Californian was quite loud in Phillips' headset.
Correct
The day started normally.
It ended with her fate sealed.
Oh, Heck. Mr O Face. (GWR STUDIOS)
"We will discuss the sinking in depth"
(Straight face)
I love you.
Lol
A somewhat I'll time jab of a joke, the depth of the sinking goes deeper than meets the eye.
Haha 😐
"That was the last time Titanic ever saw daylight" said elderly Rose
I love that line so much.
(Also wow, a comment referencing the film without a ton of people bitching about somebody referencing the film. Could we please have more of that?)
@@reloadpsi I love the movie 100%,but i dont like bringing Rose and Jack when it comes to real Titanic.
@@ajsnagratin6504 Perhaps, but you can't deny the line is really good.

I knew it I knew we would get an updated real time sinking in a live stream at least
They probably missed the ice above the waterline, but underwater the ice bulked out, so they hit the underneath.
Wow I never knew why they canceled the lifeboat drill. I've learned a lot these past few days, thank you :)
In S.O.S Titanic, with Susan St. James and David Warner , David's character asked a deck steward if there would be a lifeboat drill and the guy replied, Normally, *"I'd say Yes, but in the case of the Titanic, she's one huge great lifeboat herself."*
All because it would interrupt the Sunday services and Bruce Ismay would pitch a fit like a child for a unessary reason to stop mid ocean
God those stain glass windows look awesome with the warm lighting of the interior.
Omg I’ve loved the titanic story for years it’s always been so close to my heart ❤️
Love this, Tom. Love all that you and THS do!
LIVESTREAM YEEEEEES!!!!! Thank you guys, I was hoping for this sooo much!
Thank you for keeping the spirit alive Tom.
Great video! Thanks for posting these :)

Super exited about the new sinking animation
The lifeboat animation looks amazing
Very good video. I'll definitely be watching the real time sinking tonight.
0:58 That's actually the Campania of 1893, not the Caronia of 1905.
I'll come say his tonight, be interesting to learn more and maybe ask a few questions. You have a natural way of narrating the events aboard titanic.
Every Year i watch this little series on the exact day at Noon.
I can't wait! Going to be great
Jack draws Rose on this day. ;)
Why wouldn't he? I mean, she has beautiful hands, right?
Wow
😢😢😭😭
That is in the titanic 1997 movie.
@Mikosch2: no, that was the french one-legged prostitute.lol
Great video series
Great video.
woah! amazing, I learned stuff! great video. I liked I subbed and put notify bells on! cant wait for tonight!
Did my eyes deceive me of that collision render was there light coming from the punctures in the hull? If so wow ... you guys know how to show your passion!
I can’t wait for the real time sinking!
Man I rarely come here but this time its special
April 14th,1912 the day that Sun set on Titanic for last time and a day the world will never forget.
At 11:40 tonight I’m watching the real time sinking up until 2:20 am. Tomorrow morning will be full of tears and sorrow for these passengers.
Crazy how a day like this can just turn completely around at the end with the events that took place at this time.
i'm looking forward to the next simulation
Titanic sink will never be forgoten😞
Insane how this was the exact day when Titanic struck the iceberg.
Almost like it was planned!
It was never planned, it’s just a rare time.

Had to be some day.

Guess who's tuning into that live stream and updated real time sinking? This guy
Anyone else notice this years days are actually lining up with 1912s?
Yup that makes it more special this year.
This is making my obsession with Titanic special now.
That's right, April 14th was Sunday in both 1912 and 2019.
Always a special night every year. Can’t wait for this live stream! 11am AWST time (Western Australian) time for me
is that the stream time?
Sami Ghidini actually 9am for wa sorry. 11am for NSW and QLD
@@loocky_ thanks, I managed to catch he end as it was around 4am for me.

Here we go. Strap in!
very nice explanation
Today I jumped into the Atlantic on the cost of PAB Newfoundland in memory of the sinking. It feels so cold and I found it hard to get back to shore.

May not be able to watch the livestream because of school REEEEE

Watching this on the 14th from Australia, here the collision would of happened 107 years ago exactly in seven minutes
No doing the calculations it’s actually tomorrow at 9am for the eastern states.
Damn, Titanic wouldn't have sank if she was in Australia, would have just floated into the sky.
Imagine if they did do a lifeboat drill, would the iceberg have drifted out of the Titanic's path? What would the Titanic's fate have been then; torpedoed during WW1, scrapped in the 30s, or even survived into preservation.

but unfortunately i will not be able to attend due to having to work tomorrow.
so i wish you all good luck with the live stream! :)
BEAST VID I around 1hour told my friends that the titanic hit and ice berg 20mins ago!!
Titanic hit the iceberg at 11:40
Oh, updated realtime sinking! Can't wait to see it. Why hasn't CZcams notified me of the upcoming stream?
