respect to the guys in the engine room who didn't have a clue what was happening but when the order came in to reverse engines full, you can see the respect they had not to question the order but to immediately do what was being ordered.
They'd have had a pretty good idea of what was going on as soon as they saw the order, they knew they were out in the open ocean, days from reaching New York. they would have known that the only reason for a sudden full astern order was an emergency
Fun fact, the nearer my god to thee played in the movie is inaccurate. The methodist version was most likely played (MOST LIKELY, NOT WITH 100% CERTAINTY) since Wallace Hartley was a methodist himself.
When I was a kid I read in a National Geographic Kids magazine that the Titanic could have possibly been saved through three separate options. One of those options was to have just rammed into the iceberg head first. According to the article, some people might have died, but the Titanic might have stayed afloat and saved a lot more people. So whenever I see this scene, no matter how many times I watch this movie, I always find myself yelling, “Ram into it!”
As true as that would be, in the situation no one in the state of mind Murdoch was in would ram it. His first instinct was to turn and that would be anyone’s first option.
That’s true but 1. He would’ve been in a lot of trouble 2.He would’ve guaranteed killed many onboard 3.There was a chance he could’ve have avoided the whole iceberg together, saving everyone onboard. Of course you can say that they should’ve done something different after knowing what’s gonna happen but Murdoch made the right decision in the moment.
The Titanic steel was brittle at that time because of the cold temperature, making it more prone to cracking and breaking. With the speed they traveled (20.5 knots) it wouldn’t look good for them for a head on collision.
Both imagine this playing throughout the titanic voyage..I think I would of had another brandy with the gentleman dressed in "their best"@@notevadingtaxes
this soundtrack is just 1000% compatible with the video sequence from the film ... I'm wondering whether the composer came up with it looking at the finished film or before?) but it's still brilliant, just like the film itself
Two hours later titanic spotted the iceberg 🧊 but as they tried to turn away from the iceberg it hits the bottom of it causing aka making several holes 🕳 in it causing the boiler room’s and cargo hold to flood
It was not about ramming the iceberg, it was about the fact that with more speed the ship could've avoided the collision with the extra speed, with less speed the ship will just struggle to turn.
Still missing the point, a ship as big as the titanic can't turn on a dime, for all we know, speeding up might have only made that problem worse. The ship would've struggled to turn either way.
the ship will take more distance to complete a turn if it was on full speed. by slowing it down, it will decrease the distance of it to complete the turn.
What the... Helm comand was fully starboard and he starts to Steer to port?!The ship cant turn that good because 3th engine was reversed so he pushing ship to starboard (right side) if helm was on fully starboard (Steer to left side) they can make it, or if Helm is to Hard a port then reverse the left engine for better turning of a ship
Titanic, and many liners at the time, used an old practice for controlling the helm called "tiller commands" where turning the ship to port meant turning the wheel to starboard and turning the ship starboard meant turning the wheel to port - when Murdoch calls "Hard a-starboad" he wasn't saying turn the ship to starboard, but to turn the rudder starboard which turns the ship to port. He then calls "Hard a-port" meaning turn the rudder to port which turns the ship starboard, this combination was meant to essentially drift the ship around the berg. As for why the commands and tiller controls are backwards, this was a left-over from the sailing age where the wheels turned in the same fashion and while many steam ships slowly moved to port being left and starboard being right, Atlantic ocean liners often used the old configuration because so many officers were trained on sailing ships and under pressure their instincts would tell them to follow the old method. This was effectively ended in the 1930s. Finally, running the engines staggered as you suggest would likely not have given the turning motion that you might think simply because of her length and momentum and instead running them full a-stern was simply to slow the forward momentum to buy the ship precious seconds and allow her momentum to drift as best it could, thus the "port-round" as murdoch calls it in the next scene to the captain.
No way she would, the force of the impact will go through the entire hull causing more damage and bending the structure surely making the watertight doors impossible to close and sink a lot faster than she did.
@@musicfan5921 Yes, she would’ve or would've at least sank slower. The Titanic was built to stay afloat with 4 compartments flooded at the most and if she had hit the iceberg head on instead of along the side, fewer compartments would’ve been torn open.
@@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY bull, the force of the impact would have made a lot of more damage, dont underestimate 46k tons of steel hitting at 21kts an ice behemoth
@@Death_korps_Kriegsman there are so many "IFs" to consider. What if the collision deform the watertight bulkheads, like what happened to Britannic, and prevent the doors from closing? What if the water floods in quickly, considering the fact that only 12 vertical watertight doors of the bottom deck were automatic and not the other doors up which were manual? The crew response would obviously be delayed, considering everyone would be injured to different degrees, some might even die. This delay to close those doors would mean quick flooding, with the bow now completely cut open. What if the collision impact opened up any other hull plates? It would mean additional flooding anywhere around the hull. What if electricity go out? Rescue would be impossible and the slow flooding wouldn't mean much. What if the iceberg had projections under water? We don't know the exact shape of the berg. That would mean the double bottom compromised. Too many IFs to consider.
No matter how many times I see this scene I always hope they'll miss the iceberg
Yeah, the best and most dramatic Titanic collision's scene from all Titanic's series and movies I ever watched so far.
Me too!!!
Same here
@@astrialtairbaraotome7601 For me the one with the most action and fear. Makes you actually hope they will miss the iceberg.

this actually gave me goosebumps holy
With such live music you keep cracking your knockles more than ever thinking "turn, please do".

Five of the watertight compartments were flooded but the ship can still stay afloat with four not five
Bulkheads went up as high as E Deck, that is two decks above the waterline.

I wish the turbine can be turned on when reversing. Imean, turbine could help them miss the iceberg.
The Center propeller was only drivin by a turbine, but the center propellor wad turned off
Then the turbulence would be even greater around the rudder that means complete loss of rudder control
Also in reality they only stopped the engines
But this ship can’t sink / she’s made out of iron sir I’m surely she can
Ok is me in the movie
the films might've not been the greatest, but god is the soundtrack outstanding, you can't get enough of it, and the band played it amazingly
talk about shitting bricks in this scene ah
Does anyone know if Titanic will be at the royal Albert hall again?
It will never be on theatre again it was last......
It’s a bit short notice, but it’s on tomorrow! - Sunday July 10 :)
"Hard to starboard"
Quartermaster Hitchens: How boud I do da opposite
Hi
Was Kate Winslet in there watching or is it just a normal day in the movies
It would have been no collision if they did not slow down! They did a big boo boo
Pretty sure it would've been worse if they rammed the iceberg at full speed.
It was not about ramming the iceberg, it was about the fact that with more speed the ship could've avoided the collision with the extra speed, with less speed the ship will just struggle to turn.
Still missing the point, a ship as big as the titanic can't turn on a dime, for all we know, speeding up

Again, still missing the point, even at speed, a ship the SIZE of the titanic can't turn on a dime.
