    Out of all the stories of the lives lost, I always get the most choked up when hearing about the electricians and engineers. I just find that part of the story to be so heroically tragic and beautiful. I hope they're given due respect in game and, knowing this team, I'm sure they will be.

      A woman praising men for sacrificing themselves, in the false belief that their lives held less value than the women on board. Hold my beer while I adequately express my shock and awe at the obvious gynocentrism. Men don't need to throw their lives away for the worthless praise of women. There's nothing respectful about your condescending pat on the head for their genuine (albeit misguided) sacrifice.

      Bethany E - My late neighbour, Clement Ervine, lost his uncle Albert Ervine who was a "volt worker", ie an electrician. He was only 18. Clem had a letter and photo that was sent by his uncle Albert to his mother. It said don't worry about your boy going to sea. We have installed doors that will close if there is any damage to the ship. Clem's father, Albert's brother was on the construction crew that helped build the ship. I also knew the Mellingers, a mother and daughter who survived and eventually lived in Ontario, Canada. The daughter (her married name was Mann) died in the 70's and was predeceased by her mother. Both are buried close to where I live. The daughter Madeleine has Titanic survivor on her grave but the mother did not want that.

    Though everyone regards Titanic as a blunder in technology, honestly she was marvel in her sinking. To not capsize during a sinking is nearly unheard of. To be illuminated until the very end and also the 2 hours and forty minute to finally sink out performed even Andrews expectations. Had Lightoller not ordered the port side gangway door open, I’m sure she would have lasted another half hour or a bit more. History doesn’t give Titanic the credit she deserves. She really put up a fight.

I don't know too much about Titanic, but if she was designed not to capsize, I'm sure I would've heard about it, therefore she was not given any exceptional anti-capsizing measures but was lucky enough to stay upright. Titanic is such a weird mix of good and bad luck. Mostly bad though. Mostly bad.

      ethan hatcher - Most likely it is because he saved 75% of those rescued by loading his lifeboats quickly and with no regard for sex, age or social class. First class was no more important to him than saving lives. He was also an excellent mariner from a long line of seamen who did the right thing in trying to avoid the iceberg but no one had encountered such a catastrophe with a ship that big and what would have worked with a smaller ship did not work. It was too large to turn in time. It is also very likely false, according to testimony at the time, that he shot anyone, including himself and witnesses said he was washed off the ship while trying to free the last collapsible, doing his duty to the end. James Cameron apologized to his family for portraying him as shooting himself or anyone else.

I suppose he randomly used Murdoch because he was a prominent character. Second Officer Lightholler testified at the inquiry that Murdoch was washed off the deck trying to free the last collapsible and his body was never found. No bodies were found with a gunshot wound so it could never be certain that he or anyone was shot. Of course there would have been massive confusion that night. Survivor Ruth Becker testified that Officer Lowe tried to stop a stampede by firing two shots down the side of the ship as his lifeboat was lowered but it was never proved that any person was shot..
      My interest began when I was nine (I'm 69) when Elizabeth and Madeleine Mellinger, a mother and daughter, lived in my town in Ontario Canada. They were in Lowe's lifeboat that went back for survivors and pulled out Lightholler. Elizabeth, the mother, gave him her cape to keep warm and he gave her his officer's whistle which Madeleine donated to the Maritime Museum in Greenwich when she died. Both are buried near where I live in Stevensville, Ontario. The mother did not like to talk about it but the daughter attended some reunions. Another neighbour Clement Ervine's father helped build the ship in Belfast and he lost his uncle Albert, an electrician, who was 18 years old at the time.

It was built in Glasgow but did cruises in the Great Lakes until the 1960's. Although much smaller, you can get an idea of what the Titanic looked like but in miniature....and of course not nearly as luxurious. They are restoring it and you can tour it. It was built of overlapping plates riveted together like Titanic but when it got to the old Welland Canal it was too big to fit so they took out some rivets to separate the plates and disassembled it in the middle and rejoined it in Buffalo.

It is amazing to see how they managed to put so much in to a *small ship* like titanic, and how many people they had on it. When I consider that they made the damn thing out of rivets and had steam engines.
    But to build a ship like that. Materials and technology might have changed, but one thing will never change. You need people. Lots of people. I think the yard I am at has up-to 5000 people in it daily. This is yard's staff, sub-contractors, the whole lot. And the whole "cluster" of sea tech, 40.000 people daily.
    And managing it all is a chore and difficult even with all the tech we have now, So I can't even imagine the logistical clusterfuck that it was back in the day.

    Nice video. The animation showing the boilers is missing the grate bars. Each of the furnaces in the boilers would have a grate dividing the furnace in half. The coal would be placed on top of the grate thru the small door. The opening for the bottom half would have a door that could be opened for removal of ashes and may have been provided with an arrangement for propping it open in varying amounts, so it could be used as a damper, or it was provided with separate damper openings. Firing the boilers was a continuous process, and the ashes would need frequent removal. When not actually adding coal, the small doors would be kept shut to prevent cool air entering above the fire. Air would be drawn thru the damper and then thru the grate and fire, this provides air for the fire and the cool air keeps the grate from overheating.

    Great job on the crew. I hope you will consider doing a Titanic University set on the radio operators and their equipment. Over the ocean airliners from the Thirties up to the mid Fifties carried a radio operator, many of the early hires were from shipping companies and contractors. Even after WWII this professional sent and received Morse on a key very much like those on the Titanic. My father had to get a third class radio operators license when he got his Captain's rating on being hired by Pan American. The requirement was to send 10 words a minute. It was not easy. He said he thought he passed because the inspectors felt sorry for him.

    Jack Philips was the wireless operator on the titanic and when they were sinking he kept sending CQD and SOS signals until the electricity went out and once it went off he decided to go to the deck but the water was too high and he drank a bottle of alcohol until he drowned in the wireless room

  • @kylemore9142
    @kylemore9142 Před 5 lety +1

    Just a little comment, "Master" rather than "Captain" would have been the title most used by the crew and owners when referring to the commander of a British merchant vessel as indeed is the case today and Smith would have signed himself as such. When directly addressing him however the term "Captain" would be used.

    The same can be said about how the real Jack Phillips looks like the 1997 version of Harold Bride.
    I wonder if that was a mistake by the James Cameron and the filming staff.

    There's so much information on Titanic today than ever before for film producers to produce a more realistic & advanced version of all Titanic movies so far.
    Because of least audience in cinema today, producers may require public & private donation support to accomplish the task as good as possible. I hope they produce another landmark movie to honour Titanic again.

    Captain Smith should've ordered Thomas Andrews into a lifeboat (At gunpoint if needed) because he knew that there'd be an enquiry into the Titanic's sinking and his testimony would've been critical.

    • @Daniel_Huffman
      @Daniel_Huffman Před 2 lety

      J. Bruce Ismay was seemingly ordered into Collapsible C by Chief Officer Wilde for these very reasons. Also, if anyone was to force Andrews into a lifeboat at gunpoint, it wouldn’t be Smith, as there’s evidence to suggest that he had never handled a firearm in his life.

  • @anonymusum
    @anonymusum Před 2 lety

    It´s a question of how many passengers and how many crew members are planned. The size of the ship is secondary. On a modern cruise ship you have about 2000 passengers and 800 crew members. That means that the service is mediocre. But on exquisite cruise ships you´d find for example 200 passengers and 300 crew members. Then you can expect a real good service - for a lot of money of course.

      @@mackmitchell94 I don't think so. Because nobody realized Lowe was still asleep as far as I'm aware. In fact, after the collision Third Officer Pitman was ordered to wake the other officers, and he deliberately avoided awaking Lowe. It wasn't until Lowe actually got out of bed and went onto the boat deck that Murdoch realized Lowe wasn't woken up.

    According to some sources the surviving Titanic officers were heavily grilled and scrutinize in the US inquiry. Add to that they also had a hard time to regain their careers from the scandal of the Titanic disaster especially Charles Lightoller who was said to never regain his career in merchant ocenliners after the disaster and the reports of his actions of misinterpreting the Captain's orders of Women and childrens first into women and children only.
