The smartest passenger was the ship's cat. One of the crew members that took care of the cat, saw her taking her kittens off the ship before it left Ireland. He saw that as a bad omen and left the ship and took the cat home.
@@shaylawatson1244 orrrr maybe I have fibromyalgia and was just have a fibro fog day because I've seen the movie a lot and own it. I just was more focused on 1st and 3rd class. Trust me its not fun on bad days. I can't remember anything because pain is just that bad.
As a child in Europe I had an interest/fascination with the Titanic solely because of the architecture, they simply do not build ocean liners anymore. Carnival cruise barges do not count! Then I looked into the Britannia, Lusitania et cetera.The Italian ships definitely had class even into mid century modern era. Great video! Cheers!
As to your comment about it being outside the norm to feature the Titanic on this site, remember the description of ships of this era: "when country houses went to sea." I feel that showing these ships, the large NYC apartments of Marjorie Merriweather Post and John D. Rockefeller, Jr; and even the Penthouse Suite of the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco will all fit nicely on this site. Keep up the good work!
I would like to see a few of these on Titanic from the perspective that you give. Particularly interested in the artistry, such as that staircase. The social intrigue is fun, as we get a peek into what the builders and owners of the Gilded Age were doing. Really nice job, thanks.
Seeing the grand staircase with all its levels is amazing! No matter how massive and state of the art modern cruise ships get, they just can't match the fine opulent design and craftsmanship of the White Star Line.
The radio man on the other ship kept trying to warn Titanic re: the icebergs but the Titanic radio man was so busy sending out the First Class passengers' telegrams that he asked him to keep quiet. Bcz of this rudeness, the other radio man turned off his radio. Thusly, no help arrived.
Great video!! Bravo,!. I've known of the Titanic since I was a little kid in the 1970s. Waaay before anyone was talking about her. Intriguing point you said Ken --that the staircase was ejected from the ship through the glass dome. I have NEVER heard that!!. Been to, read , and seen most everything that's been said about the Titanic since Ballard discovered it in '85. NO ONE ever even remotely hinted at that comment concerning the staircase. Where did you discover that golden nugget,???!!. And I'll say it again, you've done another great video. Love, love love your channel! Great work!. 👏👍❣️

@@davidbrims5825 Unfortunately, most people seemed to prefer the tugboat. The incredible French luxe really did seem to scare passengers away and over to the Queen Mary.
At time mark, 5:55, the "fire damage" point to the location of the first class swimming pool, and the dark spot was just a shadow in the photo, the fire was taken place nearly directly below the starboard bridge wing at and just below water level. The fire in fact saved the ship (even tho unplanned), for when she hit the iceberg she was listing about 10 degree to port, the iceberg hit starboard, as the flooding happen, she was pulled to list about 15 degree to starboard. Without the fire causing the firemen to dig out the coal on one side of the ship, Titanic would had capsized before the first lifeboat was launch.
I have been fascinated by the Titanic ever since I read the Clive Cussler book Raise the Titanic when I was twelve. When she was discovered, I religiously watched the News for every glimmer of information I could get, and I still have the National Geographic that detailed the expedition. When the Titanic exhibition came to the museum of science and industry in Chicago, I went and was blown away. They had the biggest peice of her hull that had been brought up, completely with portholes and nearly was kicked out because I stepped over the rope barrier and touched her hull. I simply couldn't stop myself. But the most amazing thing was they were selling little lumps of coal that had been brought up. It's one of my prized possessions. I will never walk on her decks, I will never sleep in one of her cabins, but I have touched her, and I have my own little piece of her. She was inarguably the most famous ship of all time.
I did everything you did except the Big Piece had guards around it when I went. But the Museum did have a piece of the hull one could touch and I picked it up. Touching a ship that I had read so much about was a thrill. That opened up interest in ocean liners for me and I still read and watch whatever I can. P.S. Ken- The fire was in the coal bunker not engine room.
Excellent commentary as always! I had never heard about the ejection of the staircase until today. It’s such a horrible tragedy especially magnified by the deaths of five more trying to see the wreckage. Let’s keep it to scientific research only and no tourists should visit the RMS Titanic in my personal opinion only.
That's because a lot of the Titanic's cutting edge safety features were compromised in the interest of having more open space and luxury on the upper decks for example, titanic was originally designed with 48 lifeboats but in the interest of having views of the ocean for the first class they brought the total down to 20, and the "watertight compartments" only went up to E deck so the upper decks could have more open space
I sailed 4 times on the SS Norway (formerly SS France), an ocean liner from decades ago and refurbished to much of it's original glamour for cruising the Caribbean until it was scrapped after a explosion in the boiler room that killed a couple workers. That ship was luxurious, majestic and classy, just like the Titanic. I loved that ship and haven't cruised since it was towed to the ship's graveyard to be torn apart. There are no cruise ships like that anymore. Now they are all theme parks on water. No thanks! This was very interesting. It reminded my of the Norway.
I was fortunate enough to cruise on the SS Norway too. I chose it because it was the old style of ocean liner. The new ones don’t interest me either. End of an era.
I had booked a cruise on this the year the boiler blew up on the dock killing staff. It was the NFL line that purchased from the France. We were highly disappointed.
Encyclopedia Britannica states that the Californian warned the Titanic that they were surrounded by ice at 10:55 pm. The Titanic ignored this warning. Apparently, the ship was not able to assist.
Because that's not correct. The Californian didn't refuse to help they simply didn't know what was going on. They only had one radio operator and his shift had ended for the night and he had gone to bed. So they didn't hear any of the Titanic's distress calls. There was no law at the time that required 24hr rotating shifts. That became mandatory because of the Titanic. There is still debate on exactly how far away the Californian was from the Titanic. The captain at the time said 19 miles. The crew on board did see some rocket being fired but to them it did not look like distress signals. Once the radio operator started his shift in the morning, and they figured out what had happened they immediately rushed to try to assist. But taking into account the distance, the time to restart the engines, travel through the ice field the harsh reality is even if the Californian had reacted immediately, they probably still would not have made it in time.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one Ken! I have always been fascinated by the Titanic !! It is apparent that I am not alone! I went to the exhibit when it was in Cleveland. You could walk through exact replicas of hallways and rooms.( Unfortunately not the grand staircase). They handed you a ticket with a real passengers name. At the end you learned your fate. It was so interesting!!
The Titanic and also the Olympic had interiors that I would have been comfortable living in. The Britannic, the third and last of the Olympic-class trio would have been a little too ornate for my .tastes. --- Ken, I would enjoy more This House videos about the interiors of ocean liners. Some people really did live aboard ocean liners. My particular favorite is the post-World War II Ile de France. We can see so much of this ship inside and out in the movie "The Last Voyage" released in 1960.
This is an interesting look at the various classes’ experiences. Some of those images are new to me. One that is not though, the dark mark at 5:55 is believed to be a reflection of the rocky outcrop, seen in the lower left of the photo, diffusely reflected in the hull, not a result of the internal fire. One can vaguely make out other such reflections of the ground around the hull too. I refer you to the wonderful Oceanliner Designs channel for more information on this common misconception.
You're right about one thing, Titanic is definitely a little unusual for this house, yet you have a few bits and pieces that are not quite accurate, but most of the interior photos are of the similar but not identical Olympic as very few photos of titanic were taken!!
Your other videos are great. But this could have used a lot more research. The 1st staircase did not bring together various classes together. All classes boarded in completely separate areas. And you wouldn't wind up the stairs to the reception room. That was on D Deck, the saloon deck. 1st class passengers either boarded on D or B.
Great video, However, there was only one coal burning fireplace on the ship. All others being electric. The fire you mention was in one of the coal bunkers ( not uncommon) First class dining room had stained glass windows to cover up the portholes behind. No ocean View. There is no documentation about a staircase being ejected through the dome and making it impossible for passengers to reach upper decks. It is believed that the grand staircase didn't hold in to place but not in any way you describe it.
@1:10 re the propellers. Unless my eyes deceived me 3 times, the propellers aren't shown in that photo...but the propeller shaft _is_... Otherwise, _GREAT_ clip! Thank you!
At 1:15 did anyone else notice that it appears as though one figure was removed from the photo? On the right hand side, overlying the screw? What's that about?
There was only one working fireplace on the Titanic and it was in the First Class Smoking Room. The others were electric, or non-working for show, so no coal burning.
It was exquisitely made except for the safety standards. Its very sad it ended the way it did. And after thIs latest tragedy I hope no one attempts it again.
To be honest 3rd class living was pretty good. Accommodations were tight, but they’d never seen such food. It was endless. Now the California was not the non caring ship everyone’s been taught about. They simply had the common sense to stop for the night in the ice field. Titanic had ignored some ice warnings received through out the day on the 14th. They did make course corrections because of others. One for sure never made it out of the wireless room to the bridge. They were too busy working sending messages for first class passengers, many of whom would never see the lights of NY. Now back to the California, they had heard that Titanic should be passing by. They did see 8 sporadically fired rockets, but remember this was Titanic’s first voyage. It was thought they were having quite the celebration. Emergency, or distress rockets were to be fired in 1 minute intervals by law. By doing so this would have been internationally understood as a distress call. They also said they watched throughout the early morning hours sailing out of sight. In fact what they had witnessed was the sinking. They probably 10 miles apart. Wireless communications were not typically monitored after 10:00 PM. This is why the California never received calls for help. The California in fact had sent ice warnings to Titanic saying they were stopped for the night in pack ice. Titanic’s response to the wireless operator on the California was, “shut up, I’m working Cape Race”. That is as mentioned before, they were sending messages for 1st class passengers through Newfoundland. Well the California wireless shut down his set being close to 10:00PM. The first calls for help were sent out, using CQD & the new SOS code at 12:40AM. The wireless operator on board the Carpathia had done everything but shut down his set. He happened to be finishing his duties when he heard the familiar buzzing coming from his headset laying on his desk. He picked up headset putting it on. He wound up writing all the information as quickly as he could to get to the bridge. Well, the rest is history. It would be 4 hours before Carpathia would arrive amongst the ice, flotsam and lifeless bodies in life jackets. The Carpathia was soon met by a parade of life boats, all that remained of the largest, most majestic ship that had ever sailed to that time. Just my 2¢ worth.
Gymnasium wasn’t open to all classes at all. It was solely first class, the dinning room didn’t have windows with sea views, it had portholes with pains of textured glass in front of them with back lighting to make it feel like a hotel or restaurant and so you don’t feel at sea. 3rd glass wasn’t that bad it was marketed as similar to 2nd class on other ships. Nice commentary though.
I’ve been wondering, Titanic was claimed to be able to withstand the force of head-on collision with other ship. So, what would have happened if they just sail the ship head-on to the iceberg instead of steering the ship around the iceberg. Would it have survived? Would it become a museum ship after she finished her service?
The CGT's SS France launched the same year was more luxuriant, had better food, better interiors, was nicknamed "the chateau of the Atlantic" and lasted until 1934. But this beautiful ship is not as well known due to the fact that it stayed afloat.
The RMS Titanic was not the largest ship "...of its time." Just months after the Titanic sank the Hamburg-Amerika Line of Germany launched the SS Imperator which was longer wider and larger than the Titanic by over 10,000 tons.
The magnificent German liner VATERLAND was stronger along with being much more luxurious. Then it was hijacked by the ''British'' to New York then totally disrespected for decades.
AND...... with a "context" box on this video I KNOW for sure this too was created by "the powers". What a GD tragedy, this government and their evil posse are going to burn.
The smartest passenger was the ship's cat. One of the crew members that took care of the cat, saw her taking her kittens off the ship before it left Ireland. He saw that as a bad omen and left the ship and took the cat home.
I really enjoyed how you broke it up by class. I never even realized second class was a thing nor what their rooms would be like.
Did you think it was just 1st and 3rd class lmao?
@@I_am_a_cat_ lol I don't know what my brain was thinking to be honest! I'm chalking it up to things that happen after the age of 50 lol!!!!!!
You must habe not watched the movie because everyone knew the titantic had a 2nd class
