Beyond The Titanic. Ep 9: The Money Boat. Duff Gordons
In this episode we look at the lives of Sir Cosmo and Lady Lucy Duff Gordon and the curious case of £5.
They may have survived the sinking of the Titanic but their reputation, particular that of Sir Cosmo, suffered greatly thereafter. So what happened to the famous pair post Titanic and how did the cope in the aftermath of one of the greatest maritime disasters of all time.

    Hi mate, amazing video! I will be in Putney on Saturday and would love to pay my respects too. Is his grave easy find at Putney Vale cemetery? Any help would be appreciated. :)

    • @BeyondTheTitanic

      Putney Vale cemetery is quite large and his grave is tucked in a corner. If you’re driving, enter through the main gate off Frensham Drive. Follow the road until you come to the first roundabout. Take the fifth exit and follow that road right until the end. You’ll come to a small circular opening with an exit to your left and it’s located there, in the corner. If you need more help, message me on Instagram @JamesRPClay and I’ll send you a screen shot of where it is exactly.

      How realistic these ideas were and how close they came to fruition is unclear. A lot of these ideas came before the wreck was found and so had little idea of the state or depth of the wreck.

The conspiracy theory you are referencing is about some of the wealthiest people in the World, including John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim, and Isidor Straus No evidence of their opposition to Morgan's centralized banking ideas has been found -- Astor and Guggenheim never spoke publicly on the subject, while Straus spoke in favor of the concept.

    @6:30 -- Actually, they recreated the Titanic's launch (in computer-generated animation) from the photo stills shot during her launch. The 2005 movie "Titanic: Birth of a Legend" also recreated the scene of Titanic's launch but screws it up by showing the A-deck enclosure in place. I've seen photos of Titanic' launch and the A-deck enclosure was definitely NOT in place until Big T was transferred to the (en)graving(?) dock. Heck, the ONLY surviving film footage of Titanic PRIOR to her discovery pans over the side of the ship (in the graving dock) and the A-deck enclosure isn't in place. As far as Titanic's launch film is concerned, it DID exist at one time. It was likely destroyed after the sinking, lost during file shuffling at Harland & Wolff, OR possibly destroyed during an IRA bombing in Belfast during the 1970s. No one's sure what happened to this film.** Frankly, I'd bet on the first scenario. Likely, H&W didn't want to be reminded of their worst failure. The launch film of the RMS Britannic does still exist. If you wanted to see what the Titanic looked like (minus A-deck enclosure which was probably already in place during Britannic's launch) during her launch, the Britannic launch film is what one should watch. Britannic was painted like Titanic at the start of her life. ** Suggestions and observations by Paul Lee, UK Titanic historian.

    • @BeyondTheTitanic
      @BeyondTheTitanic Місяць тому

      Again, as previously stated, at no point was it mentioned that Titanic’s launch was not recorded, simply that, as of today, no footage of her launch is in existence that we are aware of. Only stills. This portion simply points out that as Olympic was first of her class, more emphasis was put on her launch than that of her sisters. I am more than aware of the numerous “recreations” of her launch, both in computer generated imagery and documentaries. I am also aware of Britannic’s launch footage as well as the footage of Titanic in dry dock 👍🏻.

    I think it doesn't help Sir Cosmo's case in modern times when a popular animated series (Fairly OddParents) has a co-lead character ALSO named "Cosmo" who is a complete moron! 🤭 [The weirdo on the popular sitcom, "Seinfeld," is also named COSMO Kramer. Yeesh! Sir Cosmo can't get a break in pop culture!] But, yes, Duff Gordon got a raw deal because of a moment when he made a dumb remark. Then again, Lady Duff Gordon didn't seem like she was all that bright at times, too...

    For me, it's not that he jumped aboard the second-to-last boat to leave the ship. It's not that he was who he was, but his actions and those who he employed to more or less hunt down the survivors of the victims and the survivors of the sinking that irk me. The ones who went into the hospital rooms of those who were still struggling with their mental wellbeing withe regards to the losses they incurred. I mean the insurance people forcing these people to sign agreements for such a small pittance to what they lost that night. Mostly the widows and those children who lost a father. I don't begrudge him the right to survive, I begrudge him and this methods in the aftermath.

    The Duff Gordons bought their passage on the lifeboat. £5 given each to crew to replace lost kit. Rubbish .... With only 12 on board When It left the sinking ship and no attempt was made to save anyone from the water . With room in the boat for 45 persons It seems very suspicious 🤔 He, as a 1st class male he should have never been allowed in the boat When so many people died Including women and children. Now with the crew in his pocket and in his favour, he was in charge. He took the Cowards way and saved his own skin Whilst others died. If It was me,I would have made my way to the smoking room ,ordering a few stiff drinks and waited for my fate.
