Annie was my great aunt. Her sister Elizabeth Jermyn was my mother Mae's mother. My mother told me of Annie when I was a teenager. Being a teen I was dumbly uninterested. After my mother passed I became interested and wished I had spoke more to her about Annie.
That is amazing. So glad to connect with you. I completely understand not appreciating family stories as a teen. I find Annie's story fascinating now, hopefully someday records will uncover what happened to her.
@@howyoucametobe3787 i knew about the ship since i was a toddler and i was always fascinated by it , every year i learn new things wich is why i still care about the tragedy
My ancestor (not directly, one of her siblings likely was)! Never knew I had family on that ship, neat the one I have ended up surviving. You go Annie! And also, hi! I guess that makes US relatives!
On the other hand, as far as the third class is concerned, no gates were ever closed. This is a cliché that comes from the film Titanic, and was added to the film by James Cameron for a slightly more dramatic effect. In fact, none of the testimonies of the third-class survivors mention closed grilles. There were almost no grilles inside the Titanic, but there was a staircase at the stern which was accessible to all third-class passengers, and which had no grilles at all, leading up to the stern deck at the stern. Indeed, many third-class women survived and climbed into the lifeboats. And it's true that it wasn't easy to get into the boat, so that's why a lot of three-class passengers perished, and also there were a lot of men between 3rd classes, and men weren't allowed to get into the lifeboats, so that's what led to their downfall, but not the gratings Otherwise superb video, thank you. 😊
Thank you. I disagree that the gates were not locked. Annie did newspaper interviews after her rescue and describes standing at the gates yelling and pleading to be allowed passage to the boat deck. She pulled herself over the gates as water was seeping into the steerage deck. I refer you to The Evening Mail Newspaper from Tuesday April 30, 1912.
@@howyoucametobe3787 Yes I agree with you, but perhaps she wasn't talking about gates as in the film, but simply doors, and I don't think there were people holding the third class down, because there's no evidence to support that, in fact I'm in the process of writing and placing all the survivors in the lifeboats and I've put Annie Jane Jermyn in collapsible lifeboat C which left on the starboard side at 2 a.m. with 43 people on board for 47 places, but you're going to tell me what proves that she was in this boat, it's the fact that she talked about pushing the lifeboat outwards because of the port list and that's what happened to the collapsible C and it was the last lifeboat to be lowered onto the starboard side using the davits and thank you for your reply.
!! Now I see that you and I are distantly related!! According to Ancestry information, We are 7th. cousins once removed. I have Jermyn and Swanton origins, See Y. H. Family Tree. Ancestry online.
@@howyoucametobe3787. I lived in Ireland as a child. My mum lived in Skibbereen for three, or so, years during WW2. She was in elementary school, and her dad was the Methodist minister. She is not related to the Jermyns. My dad was. I enjoyed a visit to Skibbereen in 2016.

i never had relatives on the ship but the human aspect of the story and the stories that many people have to say astounds me and is amazing
I was always fascinated by the Titanic but only discovered my connection recently. It was such a tragedy.

Hi! It's so amazing how history can connect us. Our relatives might have met back in 1912!

Best of luck with your research and writing. The Titanic is fascinating.

I love this! So glad to connect with you. I really want to go to Skibbereen, Ireland where the Jermyn's originated.
