It's interesting that there is a photo of the Duff Gordon's sitting nestled together in their lifeboat while it is still on deck yet to be launched sans the other passengers. Hmm?🤔🤫🫲

He was SIR COSMO! Knighted as he was and on that day in that age arguably THE most important person on that ship. As to his health and well being one answered to the Queen ! No way he and Lady Duff are going down with the ship . Come He'll or High Water!🤔☝️🫵👈🙏

I'm curious on was there any dark-skinned people on the Titanic and was it true that dark skinned black people were not allowed on the ship and when I say black people I mean people of dark skin color, not people that have white moms and black fathers like mixed with half black. No those people are not the same as dark skin people so I was just curious on was there any like them and was it really racist back in those times

Thank you for this . Its ashame the staircase isnt included .

Thank you so much for this documentary. I personally really enjoyed it as he is a relative of mine. Bizarrely my grandfather (now passed) used to tell me stories about him watching the ship sail in 1912 (when he was 12) later for him to have a daughter who ended up marrying into the Feet family. I only found out he was a relative of mine a couple of years ago. If you have any further information please let me know. Thank you again, I have sent this to my family to watch.

Very good. Enjoyed your story and account of Frederick Fleet very much and the manner in which you conveyed it.

*Ismay's* turning of his back on a sinking ship 🚢 is enough evidence for me.

you have done nomadic, you have done Olympic, that leaves one sister left

I was a docent for the Titanic exhibit in Seattle in 1999. Have always had a fascinating for the Titanic story. Can't say why? Maybe curiosity. Maybe to know if I would have survived. Think I would have. Would love to visit the center (although not sure why it's not in the UK) but Ireland is way too antisemitic and anti-israel for my tastes.

Do not go down the steps in front of the titanic sign! I have fallen on the steps because while day it wasn’t lit and I couldn’t see how deep the steps were and how narrow some were and I completely missed one and sent me flying to the ground and fractured my ankle in 3 places and dislocated it

I am really enjoying your presentations while I recover from knee replacement in hospital. I am a teacher librarian in Australia and Titanic books are extremely popular in my library. You are so entertaining. Thank you.

He did spend time helping with the woman and children and swinging out the boats and that's great good on him for that. But he was the owner essentially and like a ships captain, he should have found a woman to take his seat and taken his chances and if ot didn't work out well that would suck but his boat , ultimately he's responsible. Cutting back on boats to look more luxurious and wanting to beat Olympics record and covering up the fire that most likely weakened the ship , that's on him . Idk 🤷‍♂️. As a man , I would have figured something out

Crazy how WSL couldnt be bothered to at least get the bodies home after killing them

I own the front cover of Starland, part of the sheet music found with the violin. It's my prized item and I have recently agreed to loan it out to a museum.

My great grandfather was titanic survivor and crewman Albert Horswill. He was on cutter lifeboat one with Cosmo and Lucy Duff Gordon. It was reprehensible how the Duff Gordons were treated, Cosmo was a fine person who made a generous gesture to those crewmen, Albert included.

Great video!!! You are a very good narrator 👍👏👏👏

Do you think the key could have been taken out of spite for being removed from his role

The Jewish part of the cemetery you visited may be locked because they could be worried that people will deface the graves.

Wonderful episode. I really enjoy your style and content; especially how you visit sites connected to the story. Please keep making these videos!

Its what he did before the ship sailed Bulkheads to low not enough life boats and cheap rivets

My brother went I stayed with my older cusin

I liked this video!

I live right next to the grave yard in halifax

I would not go to see any artifactsthat were bought up from the bottom of the sea. The 3 survivors I spoke to said it was their parents grave & they wanted it left alone. So I respect their wishes. There was one in Vegas in the Luxor when I was on holiday, but I never went. RIP.

A lot of what you say resonates with me. I used to be a Titanic buff for many years, but once Cameron's movie came out my interest was no longer there. I just felt that there were just too many "instant experts". But having said that I did enjoy hunting down the Titanic related graves and memorials in Southampton, and occasionally I will check out the documentaries about it. Fairview was always on my bucket list though, but it is no longer an obsession. Thanks for the visit, it saved me a trip :-) Now to work my way backwards through your videos.

I have heard the "what ifs" over the mishaps that forced the Titanic's maiden voyage to be delayed three weeks, that Titanic would have simply been the "largest ship in the world" for a short time instead of being the legendary wreck that it is, but I wonder your thoughts on this: I've understood maiden voyages to be less full than the ones that come after, and it was testified at the hearings that flying through the North Atlantic regardless of the presence of ice was very typical. Titanic's second voyage after March 20 would have been three weeks later... on April 10. That voyage still would have taken place on the same schedule, and may well have been full if it wasn't the maiden voyage, and they still would have gone charging into the same ice field in the same weather even if they had "turned the corner" at a different spot. I tend to think they likely would have hit an iceberg anyway and in a best-case (they fill all the boats with the same souls on board), they still lose a thousand people. Worst case, they lose 2,500 instead of 1,500.

Thank you for your wonderful biography of Madeline Astor. It was such a tragic life after being widowed so very young . Rest in peace, Madeline Astor .

Another great video. 🤗 x

Hello, I am a grandson and great grandson of two Titanic survivors. Little Frankie Goldsmith was my grandfather. I watch your videos on the ship. I have never once thought you disrespected the memory of those lost. I have always found your videos informative. My wife and I will be traveling to the UK in May 2025 aboard the Queen Mary . Essentially recreating the crossing of my grandparents on the Queen Mary in 1965. Our plan is to cover Titanic in Southampton followed by a few days in Scotland and ending our trip in Belfast.

Hi James! Another great video. Many thanks to you and your sister! ;-)

I enjoyed this👏.. and the story about the unknown to known child, wow. Even now, over 100 years ago.. the story about the loss of people aboard Titanic is very sad.

I went to the museum years ago to see a Game of Thrones exhibition they were holding. I managed to sweet talk my way in to getting a peek at the grand staircase because I was a huge Titanic buff. I agree with your review of the end of the tour. It’s a bit underwhelming and contradicting to go from remembering the Titanic disaster to pretending you’re the king of the world.

Yes, it's the personal items that are special to me as well. Loved the video!

Hi Sir James. I'm glad you reminded us about how the ship represented the tragedy of losing so many lives. That is why I call the Titanic the ship of broken dreams, not the ship of dreams. Another great an interesting documentary for which I again thank you so much. By the way I'm glad you mentioned your sister who also deserves credit for filming these wonderful documentaries.

I just found your channel! I LOVE the titanic. I cannot wait to watch all your videos. Thank you for doing this

Absolutely brilliant video am sooo surprised it hasn't reached the views it needs, keep up the great work 👍

when you said Brussels well i went there for the meseum it was good i love the titanic

I live in Ontario Canada and in 2019 my husband and I went to nova Scotia and visited the cemetery where mant of the titanic dead were buried and saw his grave then found out he had finally had been named...also saw his little shoes how heartbreaking...my parents emigrated from the Netherlands after the 2nd world War and their ship docked in Halifax

@beyondthetitanic if you make it back to Halifax sometime, don't forget to check out the SS Atlantic memorial outside of Halifax... I believe there’s a small museum there that's open seasonally. Was the worst White Star disaster before 1912, and it happened only a half hour or so from Halifax.

I just discovered your videos and have really been enjoying your 'Beyind Titanic' series. Thank you for makng these.

Love watching your videos. They are presented in a light hearted way but at the same time relating the story in a very interesting manner. A very good blend. I am eagerly looking forward to the next episodes. I am sure the content as always will be most interesting. The subject of the Titanic and everything that relates to her is so fascinating, and that will always be the case.

I remember reading about a father who kidnapped his two little boys and used false names to get on the Titanic; he and his wife were foing through a very bitter divorce. He put the boys in a life boat and told them to tell their mother that he was sorry. The boys were eventually reunited with their mother while living in New York

I just paused the video at 7 mins to comment, your research is superb and the back story and timeline are fantastic and create a real image of the life and times of this Gentleman and his family. I'm from blackburn, just down the road from Colne really. And I'm proud of our northern figures. None more so than Wallace

Well done. ❤

I don’t like whiskey either ! Great video❤

Well done !

I live in Halifax (pronounced Hal-a-fax not Hal-e-fax btw, lol) and attended the ceremony for the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, which was very beautiful, it was held at the Fairview Cemetery. You spoke of the Snow funeral home which relocated to Robie Street and then about 10 years ago, it relocated again to Lacewood Drive which I actually live nearby. J.A. Snow's erected a large gravestone in front of their building to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. We see bus loads of people (often they are passengers of one of the many cruise ships that stops here in Halifax) visiting the Fairview Cemetery to see all the graves! Fun fact - my husband's name is James Cameron and when the movie that was made by James Cameron came out, my husband was involved in a search & rescue group which he co-founded so he was able to be found if googled because he was online because of the S&R group. So when people found his name and saw he was in Nova Scotia, they just assumed that he was the famous director and we got hundreds of emails, some requesting autographs, read their scripts, or send them money! One chap from the UK wanted money for a new car, when we didn't send him any, he found our postal box address and sent a letter by snail mail again demanding money from us! Now we had already told him after his second email that it wasn't the James Cameron, the director but he persisted anyway, lol. He finally gave up! 🇨🇦🦋

Great reporting as usual.

Great episode RIP, Mr Hartley, family and the lost souls of the Titanic.🙏🏻

Sad tale. It’s a shame that no one thought to break the lock of the key box to get the binoculars out. I have read that the sea conditions that night were very calm making it hard to see the iceberg. Good job for your reports & channel.
