  • @fallingcrane1986
    @fallingcrane1986 Місяць тому

    Never knew about all the technical details in #1 and #2, and I am now enlightened, thank you! #3 is one that makes me ponder. After watching the movie for the first time, I had nightmares about being stuck under a watertight door for weeks, but it’s a small comfort to know that it’s likely nobody actually had to go through that. #4, I remember, is still debated in some circles. It’s more commonly accepted nowadays, but when the Titanic: Honor and Glory guys posted that Internet-breaking video, it did turn more than a few heads when the lights stayed on. I do wonder what knowledge would have been given through the testimony of one surviving engineer. Many lives were lost that night, but it’s sad that none of the engineers survived. #5 as an inaccuracy is a bold choice, in my opinion (although I do love adding it, it adds more to the conversation, haha!). The break-up debate is an entire can of worms on its own, not even getting into the debate whether the break-up was top-down or bottom-up! Much ink has been spilled on this, on theories from Mengot, from Hackett and Bedford, even from Cameron, but the movie’s break-up has, either happily or sadly, become the iconic image of the Titanic in pop culture. The thought of a low-angle break-up has gradually gained consciousness in the minds of Titanic enthusiasts, but even now, you can find differing theories of a 23-degree angle, of 10-15 degrees, or of 11 degrees. At the time the movie was made, it’s hard to tell if the debate back then was as lively (and varied) as it is now. If Cameron did not have access to what passionate research on the break-up there was at the time, then this inaccuracy can be forgiven for the same reason why A Night to Remember doesn’t have a break-up at all. As for another inaccuracy that was only caught long after the movie was released, the windows between the first-class dining saloon and the D Deck reception are the wrong shape. Cameron’s set followed pictures from the RMS Olympic, but recent analysis of photos from the Titanic, done by the Titanic: Honor and Glory team, found out that the Titanic’s windows here were different from her sister ship, and in the game demos, they are changed accordingly. What a great video! I appreciate you posting it!

Titanic’s story is full of gaps that we need to fill in ourselves in order to fully understand and comprehend what happened, but it’s always important to fill in those gaps with the proper context so that we can be as accurate as possible.

    I was thinking and I remembered these in the movie's chronological order: 1. The center propeller did not started right away with the other propellers, it had to use the reciprocating engines steam in order to work, so it didn't start "right away". 2. The car going into Titanic's cargo hold wasn't in one piece, but within a box, dissmanteled. 3. There couldn't have been other boats within Titanic's path going out of port, as the movie depics one aside the ship, just for comparisson; it would've been far too dangerous. 4. The way Bruce Ismay's and Roses' parties had their apparent breakfast: the Verandah Café and Palm Court I think, wasn't designed for that kind of strong meal, but specifically, light refreshments at small tables. Not the big squared table at the center, nor the breakfast itself. The space was really, way smaller than the movie depicts it. 5. Same case with the oversized engine room. I mean, it was big, but not THAT big haha those are some I remember! Hope it helps! Cheers.

Of the roughly 708 passengers traveling in Third Class, some 275 came from countries that primarily speak English: America, Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and Canada.

    • @History401
      @History401 Місяць тому

      Third Class was separated (because of immigration laws), it’s true, but so were Second and First Class, and for the same reasons. Third class was not “kept” below. No one used force to keep them below. They, unfortunately, had the disadvantage of being berthed deep down in the ship, so it took them awhile to get to the Boat Deck, if they could find a way in the first place. 174 Third Class passengers survived, which means that there were lifeboats left for them to board when they got to the Boat Deck. How else would they have made it? To suggest the crew, especially the officers, did anything to Third Class for nefarious reasons is disrespectful, especially when they themselves said otherwise. Take care and all the best to you.

    • @egm8602
      @egm8602 Місяць тому

      @@History401 The point is being missed, perhaps by both of us. The ship was designed to give a clear advantage to First Class passengers for access to the lifeboats, and the number of lifeboats only accommodated the number of people in First Class. Any Second or Third Class passengers who made it onto a lifeboat was by luck (no men allowed, refusal of some First Class to board, for example) or sheer determination (jumping over doors? Please...). This was exacerbated by Bruce Ismay cruelly and casually reducing the number of lifeboats (to improve First Class ocean views) from 48 to 16. Eight boats at a time could have been lowered (instead of 2 at a time, and boats could have been required to stop and pick up people at lower deck gateways). Treating steerage passengers as less than human were the ethical values of the time. The real value of the Titanic tragedy is that it led to rejecting blatant disregard of lower class passengers in ship design and safety consideration. Word.

      @@egm8602 Oooo, you almost had me until you used the myth that the boats being 16, it was actually TWENTY (which was actually four MORE than the regulations at the time) not because of the Board of Trade regulations at the time but criminal negligence based on modern standards and it was just down hill from there. This may shock a movie-only fan like yourself but... NONE of the passenger liners of the pre-Titanic world had enough boats for everyone, hell the only ships that did would've been the ones that were primarily cargo ships that usually hold less than 100 passengers. You also failed to understand that at the time people believed lifeboats would only be needed to FERRY people from the ship to safety not be the ONLY place to put people, since they believed they could make multiple trips after depositing people on a safer ship as well as using the rescue ship(s) boats to help get people off the doomed ship. You do know that the Welin Davits could hold three boats, why the fucking hell would they have been approved in the first place if the idea of having more boats was never even considered? According to On a Sea of Glass, around the time of the Olympic-class was being designed there were rumors that the Board of Trade was going to update the lifeboat requirement, which H&W and WS considered when the newest davits were chosen to be the ones on the ships. Also for a boat to be launched a officer would HAVE to be present to supervise the lowering (which is why Murdoch had to help launch Boat 10 despite it being on the port side while he mainly worked the starboard side), which is WHY they were able to get the majority of the boats launched properly in 50 minutes since you know they had to MANUALLY lower the boats not just flip a switch like modern ships, and when you consider they were down two officers to supervise they did a good job. Do you know how 13 was almost crushed by 15 BECAUSE they were launched within seconds of each other and 13 was hit by the water being pumped out putting it RIGHT UNDER 15, your just asking for that same thing to happen two MORE times. You didn't even bother to check the numbers, the 20 boats could carry around 1,178 people for a ship with a maximum capacity of 3,327, the maximum number of 1st Class passengers was 833, only 325 were on the voyage (where 123 died), do you actually think the other 300 of a full load were all crew? The gates at the Forward and Aft Well Decks were WAIST high, so no fucking shit people could climb over them if they had enough of a drive. Hell the first 3rd Class passenger to leave the ship was on Boat 6 the THIRD boats to leave, he got to the Boat Deck by going to the Forward Well Deck, climbed the stairs, went over the gate separating the 1st and 3rd Class areas, took one more flight of stairs to get to the Boat Deck, and jumped in the boat was it was lowering. Also first large batch of 3rd Class passengers left on the SEVENTH boat to leave, got that 7th out of 20 so the majority of the boats WHERE STILL THERE. Another problem was many 3rd Class passengers having to leave everything they owned since a person could only take what they had in their pockets. As well as women being unwilling to leave their men, one 3rd Class survivor from the Addergoole 14 mentioned how a friend and the friend's sister-in-law refused to leave without her husband and for the Asplund family the mother only boarded boat 10 after two of her kids were taken into the boat and even then the husband had to tell to go with them even if it meant leaving him and three more of their kids behind. Also the only place male passengers weren't allowed was the port side (Lightoller's) while on the starboard side (Murdoch's) men could board if/when all the women and children in the area had boarded the boat.

I'm thinking of the ridiculous "That's White Star Line property, you'll have to pay for that!" scene and officer Murdoch shooting dead 2 passengers then himself.

      @@jpaulc441 It was Murdoch’s descendants. A representative from 20th Century Fox International went out to Dalbeattie, Scotland (Murdoch’s hometown) to publicly ahem “apologize” but it was little more than “this was a work of fiction and wasn’t meant to be entirely accurate…” blah blah. A slap in the face to be honest. 😒 One of the stunt guys was fired by Cameron one day in the heat of an argument and then was rehired the next day when Cameron realized he still needed him. lol Apparently every one of his sets had its problems!

    Born around the time when _A Night to Remember_ was published, I discovered the story of the Titanic as a teenager in the 1970s and was fascinated. I read many of the torrent of books that followed the discovery of the wreck, and found myself increasingly moved by the fragmentary accounts of Sixth Officer Moody on the night of the sinking. One excerpt from the testimony at one of the inquiries into the sinking included Lookout Frederick Fleet testifying how he had rung the Bridge after sighting the iceberg. It was Moody who answered and asked "What did you see?" Fleet replied "Iceberg right ahead." The Chairman then asked "What did he [Moody] reply?" Fleet answered "He said 'thank you'," and the audience groaned in sorrow. We should not romanticize too much his fate: the freezing sea and the dark night were surely horrible. But to die working until the last moments to save others is to represent what is best of us as humans, and Sixth Officer Moody deserves our commemoration and prayers. Thank you, James, and thanks to the creators of this video, which has allowed me to know so much more about a man to be remembered.

    Those gates may not block 3rd class passengers from getting on the 3rd class promenade decks and from there to second and first class decks where the boats are, but what about the doors leading there? Were those left open or were they locked until most of the lifeboats left?

    • @History401
      @History401 4 місяці тому

      I don’t believe those doors were ever locked, at any point during the voyage. The only question would have been whether or not someone from third class would have known about using them to leave. Since all of Titanic’s signage was in English and many passengers in third class didn’t speak it, they may not have known about emergency routes through doors between classes, unless a steward or stewardess managed to show them the way. Most of Titanic’s crew also only spoke English, so there was definitely a language barrier there, as well. There was a door on Scotland Road that led directly to the bottom of the Grand Staircase, which would have provided direct access for Third Class to get to the Boat Deck, but I think this door was marked for crew use only, so even passengers who could speak English may not have realized they could go through there if it wasn’t already open to see the other side or someone didn’t tell them about it. Thanks for your question. 🥰

      @@AndreiPopescu Third Class passengers were isolated from all others by US health regulations, as they were not cleared until arrival at Ellis Island and kept separate at all times. The lifeboat drill was skipped, so no one got to find any solution for exiting the Third Class areas up to the Boat Deck and when the ship started sinking it was only luck or manic persistence that got a few Third Class passengers up onto the Boat Deck, and even fewer of them into the lifeboats.
