24:15 “they’re scared of running into the U.S. coast guard!”
The US Coast Guard founded January 28, 1915: 🫥🫥🫥
Good point. I just Googled this and for clarification the organization that would become the US Coast Guard was created in 1790. It was primarily a Revenue Cutter Service. In 1915 that organization became the US Coast Guard. So if that other ship was really out there (which I doubt) they were worried about the Revenue Service and not the Coast Guard since as you correctly stated, the US Coast Guard didn’t exist yet.
oh god, can bright side get even more innacurate? 😂😂
@@bulkysinetv6262 one time they depicted australians driving they had the driver sit on the left
@@cousinparty7266 ohh nooooo
I thought it was founded by Alexander Hamilton in the 19th century…
It's terrifying people actually watched this video and thought it was accurate. Thank you Historic travels for reacting to this
As someone who genuinely believed these kinds of videos for a time, I agree.
And they even watch his videos. Saw them comment one time
I used to think the video was accurate 💀
I used to believe them lol
I also used to believe every single bright side video!
It’s almost scary that 44 million people subscribe to that channel.
It gets worse if you look at the comments section.
those are bots
@@Burago2k *_Russian Bots...??_*
44 million subs but only thousands of views subs mean nothing

The 10 stages of a titanic historian
1. Fan of titanic
2. Wanting to know more
3. Learning from videos
4.Wanting to study more
5. Watching more informative videos like from Historic Travels
6. Growing boredom and watching other videos on ships
7. Resurgence and reading more and more about titanic
8. Watching this video proving that not all historical UA-camrs are true
9. Study some of the remains of the titanic in museums or on the sea floor
10. Have an intense knowledge on titanic and her inner workings to her destruction with some help from Histroic travels
I was about 5 or 6 when the Titanic was discovered in 1985, and even then it wouldn't be until 1987 that Ballard's "Discovery of..." book and TV documentary were available to detail the discovery publically - trust me, I was hooked to these as a kid, rereading the book and wearing my dad's VHS documentary recording down to static from repeat viewing. In those days there was no internet to speak of, certainly no UA-cam. We mostly had Walter Lord's book and the 1958 "A Night to Remember" film as our main sources of interest. No big-screen 1997 movie. Very few accurate scale models to stick on the shelf. The discovery launched the first hype-train. After 1987 came a growth of books and TV documentaries, and with them the plausible theories and ridiculous conspiracy theories about the sinking. To learn more we had to read books, find credible sources, research in libraries.
Bear in mind here that the 1980 "Raise the Titanic" film was a huge flop - without the discovery there was no hype. It took Ballard to create the interest we have today. If the Titanic still remained undiscovered to this day, I doubt we'd have the 1997 movie, and less than half the Titanic content-makers on the internet that we do. Consider that in the 1958 sinking and 1980 raising films the ship went down whole, even they ignored any witness suggestions that it broke apart. It's a painful truth that all these channels owe their entire existence to Ballard for fuelling their interest and Cameron's ability to bring the legend to life again. Without Ballard we wouldn't know anything about the sinking beyond what the offical 1912 enquiry wanted us to believe, it'd all still be theories and conjecture but with far less of a following. A missing ship isn't nearly as interesting as the true Titanic stories we've uncovered since 1985.
Now, I'm not saying the internet is a bad thing, but unlike books which are expensive to research and publish, so therefore eliminate all but your most desperate theorists, the majority are written by scholars and contain more valid details. The internet is easy to abuse by people pushing conspiracies, misinformaion or jusr plain dumbed-down nonsense like these Bright Side plonkers seem to publish.
There's a reason why Universities don't allow UA-cam or Wikipedia as sources. An internet-education is not a true education. If you are relying on third- or fourth-hand information because it's "convenient" to watch a few 10 minute videos for free than buy and read 500-page books, you are not a "historian" you are an "enthusiast" at best. It's like the difference between being able to strum a few power-chords on a guitar and actually knowing how to play. The internet was around in 1997/98, albeit quite limited compared to now, but when Cameron released his blockbuster movie, I expect that's when the second hype-train began and lesser iterations of that hype continue to this day since little else "big" has really happened in the "Titanicsphere" other than a few minor TV drama shows, "walk through" games and such.
I'm all for people being interested in the Titanic and other ships - Ballard's discovery of Titanic also led me to his discovery of the Bismark and an equally great story of tragedy that opens up an interest in WW2 and all that involves, but again 1989/90 were not the "internet education" era, but required books and documentaries. The problem with the internet is you have the good, the bad and the ugly. Unpublished enthusiasts, mostly, trying to out-do each other with nit-picking and name-calling rather than just focusing on gettig it right, like historians do when they write a book based on source material rather than paraphrasing other internet sources.
Sadly, your average Millenials and Gen-Zs are lazy. They don't have the patience to read a lot of books, or sit through hours of documentaries. They'd rather watch a semi-accurate movie and be influenced by UA-cam hype. But it doesn't make them historians, just enthusiasts. And most of them are pretentious muppets who think they are suddenly "experts" when they're put in a few hours of watching versus those of us who grew up in a "no internet era" and learned the tried and tested way, that Universities still enforce if you want a degree. Being able to cite sources, authors and book titles and/or name original documents is a vast contrast to naming some UA-camr channels as your sole education. An UA-cam-education, Wikipedia-education, TikTok-education is not "education". These places are fine if you want to supplement really studying something as they can provide ways of exposing you to new sources and ideas left out of books and documentaries, and movies especially.
But yeah, your average "Titanic historian" in your list gets to about 5 or 6 on your list then stops. But also tries to pass themselves off as someone competent enough to have done all 10 things. And that's the message here - your average "historian" wants the "TL;DR" version of events from UA-cam. They may learn the general story, but beyond that they don't know the deeper details. Enjoy these channels, but don't limit yourself to internet-research or make then your primary source or information. These are masses of books out there worth reading.
It started with James Cameron's movie when I was 7. I watched it when it came out and was obsessed. Then I started studying more and more.
This is scary accurate
I'm in stage 7
What really got under my skin was them putting words in survivors mouths by saying they “saw Californian sailing around”. That’s gotta be the most disrespectful thing they’ve said in their videos. Another great video, Sam! Really enjoyed the laughs!
@@FazbearEntertainment414 ya we like both titanic and Thomas
@@FazbearEntertainment414 have you seen the most poorly researched Thomas video?
I agree its dumb
I didn't see it but were they referring to the vessel spotted by Boxhall in boat 2?
Trust me Sam, you are not the only one who would scream on the inside and outside when watching those videos. I don’t know why I used to watch those. It was a nightmare. Thanks for exposing the misinformation they spread!
I agree.
@jdslyman I feel you, those ones are just sad. The Queen Mary deserves to be known for so much more than the dumb claim that she’s haunted.
Eh it’s a channel for kids anyways..
@@aeoe665 which make it even worse
@jdslyman Indeed
14:27: Stanley Lord's career wasn't ruined entirely after the Titanic's sinking. He was dismissed by the Leyland Line in August 1912. But in February 1913 Lord was hired by the Nitrate Producers Steamship Co., where he remained until March 1927, resigning for health reasons. That's not what I call an entirely ruined career.
But he was never captain on any ship again.
@@OBrasilo Incorrect, he served at sea throughout the First World War, and continued to command vessels for the Nitrate Producers Steamship Co. until poor eyesight forced his retirement in March 1927.
@@Ul.B Glad to see someone is calling him out on something, particularly Stanley Lord who was 20 miles away and knew nothing of what was going on. There is however, some suspicion over Lord`s role in all this in that he was expecting to see coloured rockets, when a ship within sight of Californian was firing white ones.
When did he pass away?
@@mazB4 In 1962.
I’m with you 100% Sam, channels with millions of subs making content with ZERO effort put in and such wrong or false information everyone who watches it literally ends up LESS intelligent as a result.
the worst part about all this is, that unless you are really familiar with Titanic this video would trick a lot of people.
@@HistoricTravels I thought this video is really funny I would like to see more of these reaction videos
@@HistoricTravels ya some parts tricked me when I first saw the video but I was questioning about the flairs and the Samson.
Clickbait is exactly what they are, what's depressing is how many people are fooled, it encourages others.
Channels like that have obvious state department style funding
I hate it when people make video's like this about a subject from history and absolutely BUTCHER the story just to get views and profit off of it, I think that's very disrespectful to history especially to a tragic event like the Titanic Disaster where so many people lost their lives. You did great job debunking most of this video and telling the Real facts, Good work Sam! PS that ship cut out was the SS United States.
Bright Side is a sacrilege
I think it's not the SS United States I think it's the Queen Mary 2 but that is funny 😄
I think I that ship was the SS America
@@nathangameingharvey4797 that ship look nothing like qm2
The camera glitch at 3:44 was hilarious. Thank you historic travels for proving bright side’s titanic video was false!
Actually 3:43. Oops!
13:18 The fact he paused it, and didn’t even need to say anything😂😂😂 Due to it being grossly inaccurate 😂😂
The Infographics Show recently did a Titanic video that was also horribly inaccurate. I'd love to see a reaction video on that because a lot of people in that comments section seem to be believing the misinformation.
What about the simple history one?
I too tried to watch the infographics one. Stopped after like 5 minutes due to how horribly the video had been researched.
Which one
tbh, i’m glad you put out a reaction video. it’s not just “raging at the camera”- it’s exposing and debunking lies. we already have enough misinformation and unfounded opinions presented as fact. it’s a huge problem. we cannot allow people to continuously attempt to rewrite history whether it be for views or political gain. there’s more people than ever who believe in wild conspiracy theories and deny the experiences and tragedies of their fellow humans.
Honestly that was probably the tamest video of theirs, believe me they say some truly ridiculous stuff.
Thank you Sam for having listening to your subs! Thank you for so many meme opportunities ; ) so many memes, so many : )
love how the presses of the pause button get increasingly more aggressive
When you're a near monopoly who cares whether you're right or not. They could upload a black screen for a ten minute runtime and still take millions of hits. The corporate mindset; Make it as quickly and cheaply as possible, as long as it sells.
I can see you're passionate about the Titanic and it's history, and I applaud you for calling this out. I'm glad to see you're growing each and every time I watch another of your videos. Well deserved.
Hey Sam! My name is Christina and I just want to say I love your UA-cam channel! I stumbled upon it back in November and I have been hooked ever since. I am in the Navy myself and I drive ships. This episode got me going down a rabbit hole and I made it my mission to see if Titanic did anything wrong in using white shells instead of red. Or if the intervals in which they launched the distress signals were incorrect. The short answer is Titanic did everything right. At that time the rules clearly stated: “Rockets or shells, throwing stars of any colour or description, fired one at a time, at short intervals.” Today the rules state: “Rockets or shells, throwing red stars fired one at a time at short intervals;” The only distress signal that has a 1 minute interval requirement is if you are firing a gun.
I also want to add that since the Captain and crew of the SS Californian thought the shells they were seeing were company signals instead of distress signals, one of the changes the SOLAS convention of 1914 made the following change: “The use of private signals which are liable to be confused with the international distress signals is prohibited on every ship.”
Can we please have more reaction videos this was so much fun to watch you tear apart these awful “educational” videos. It’s crazy how many people probably watch these even for school project research I bet
Sam as much as I like your videos I have to say I was a Titanic enthusiast when I was a child. I like to correct the wrong details about a historic event and I request you please continue these debunking videos or reaction videos it's a good segment for your UA-cam channel
It's so amazing that Sam is so accurate when it comes to the details and he reads his stuff
Watching these bright side videos are like rubbing salt into a open wound!
Historic travels in ROAST mode is still so polite, I was cackling. Edit; oh SHIT yinz, he’s broken out the sweet tea, it’s serious as heck now!
YT is fun but this is why it’s not a great resource when you want facts. There’s a significant amount of channels that feed garbage into viewers brains. You have a history based channel and care about the facts. Giant channels like this one are only interested in making money off of views. Thanks for doing this. I know it must have hurt your brain lol. 😊
I've watched a handful of these videos and I'm not sure how this channel is thriving. I've been a historian of this tragedy and the ship since I was 6 years old (a year after Robert Ballard discovered the wreck). I certainly don't know everything, which is why I watch your videos. I enjoy having some details filled in that I may have missed or misunderstood.
I'm not saying I'm enjoying watching you cringe... but if I had to suffer through some of these, so do you :D
Great video... I'd love to see a few more ;)
Bright Side has been around for years and gained millions of followers and views overtime. Their titanic videos got the millions of views from their other videos. They didn’t get a million views because of the titanic videos.
Apparently Jack Grimm discovered the wreck first in 1982, well actually he didn't as it was the location was known about in the 1950s.
I think the problem is that people just take everything online as face value without doing any research. The history major in me is cringing right now.
I vote for Sam to watch the animated Titanic movies. Both of them.
It's party time!
And they all lived happily ever after
@The SNES Man exsisted
Yeah, the rapping dog....................,..........ITS PARTY TIMEEEE!!!
too cruel, lol
YES
Channels and shows like Bright Side are one of the main contributors to the deplorable state the historical knowledge of many people is in.
It really is sad, that this kind of channel has so many viewers and subscribers, while channels like yours, that spend more than a quick search on wikipedia on the research, have so "few".
Facts
I absolutly love how often you say 'I've never heard that' (instead of dismissing something outright) or 'I don't know.' or 'let me check this.' - it is so comforting that there are still people on the internet who do not confuse 'I think ...' with 'I know!' - And it makes it more trustworthy, if you DO speak from conviction.
Hey Sam, big fan. My brother and I have always loved Ships and the Titanic especially. Wish he were still here to see your videos, he would have loved them... as I do. He did a beautiful drawing of the HMHS Britannic sinking, I wish there were a way I could share it here for all of the fans.
Urf... I hadn't watched that video (until seeing you watch it. :-P) I'm really glad you did a historian's commentary on it. I was yelling about inaccuracies at many of the same moments that you were - mostly because I've learned the facts from your other videos. 😀
I love how passionate you are about correcting that video. Your passion is what makes your channel awesome!
LOL I ALSO REQUESTED THIS IN YOUR LIVE STREAM IM LAUGHING SO HARD!
I'm so glad I found this channel. I used to watch Brightside before I found your channel. I loved this reaction video you did. You paused watching the videos to give better detail because of their inaccuracies or lack of detail! Watching this, I can see your passion for what you do! I loved seeing your frustration about watching this, I laughed even more when you stood up from your chair and walked away!!! 🤣
Your videos have become a safe space for me. Some of them I have watched up to 4 times over, I love to leave them playing in the background. You're funny Sam and your voice helps me if I feel anxious. Also I love the Titanic Sam :)
That was hilarious! Sam, I laughed a lot with your reactions and I can’t believe someone posted a video so ridiculous like this one here on UA-cam! That guy only told lies in the video! What a mess!
I’m sorry you had to go through this, but it was fun to watch you! Thank You for setting the record straight.
I can’t speak for everyone but this is one of my favorite videos you’ve done. I’d love to see videos like this more, and not even just about titanic but about anything you’d like to react to.
My issue with these videos is that so much of the information they spew out and get wrong are simple things the basic person knows about Titanic! And yet they still get it wrong!
It's Brightside. Their purpose is not to present factual information.
Should we accept this? Most definitely not.
The only thing I have to add to this is that this is not the first time I'd heard that they had the wrong colored rockets, but you clearly showed that wasn't true with the wreckage. With regards to the idea that they didn't see the wireless room for its use as an effective means of messaging for distress, well that's only partially true. Its core function to my understanding was to provide a mail service to the passengers, using it as a distress beacon was an afterthought. Many ships at the time didn't have this technology at all, which was also why they chose to transmit CQD as a maintenance signal as SOS didn't exist as a concept yet. Any crew in their right mind however in a desperate situation I would expect to try all avenues to contact someone for help, including getting on the wireless. Generally, no, that wasn't what it was intended for on installation, but what really annoys me about some of these conspiracy theories is that they always ALWAYS present it as if the officers and crew of the Titanic (or any other ship for that matter) Were totally and utterly incompetent.
Just need to correct something you said. SOS was introduced in 1905 by Germany. Philips and Bride were using it on the night of the sinking intermittently with CQD. So SOS was thing by the time Titanic sank.
@@DevilSurvivor69 Oh okay, thank you. I was not aware of that, probably still misinformation lingering from the James Cameron film.
@@AurthurRamaty To be fair to Cameron's film, there was a deleted scene that portrayed them using SOS as well.
@@comradebeandip it's actually in the movie. One of them says: "might be your last chance to use it"
You're using the word "conspiracy theory" completely out of context. Everyone seems to, for whatever reason, parrot that phrase. Unless someone is saying that a group of people came together to "conspire" a plan, or agenda, for nefarious reasons--then you're just dealing with a simple theory. It's called a theory, not a conspiracy theory.
Hi Sam, ive watched your channel and content grow and love the detail and and fact finding for all us history nerds. I must say this looked painful for you as youre such a dedicated person. Keep up the amazing work which you clearly love doing. Love from the UK
This video is the best roast I’ve seen for ages! Well worth repeated watches!
Excellent job Sam! 🙌
As someone interested in the Titanic and a professional artist/animator. Those videos hurt me.
This was too good!😂
I want to see more videos like this where you just absolutely destroy other videos that just get all the facts wrong. I can’t get over the fact that they wouldn’t even bother finding a picture of the Carpathia lol
Thank you for taking one for the team (so to speak), Sam. Somebody had to miscorrect the misinformation and outright lies in Bright Side's videos.
I can just imagine how painful it must have been for you to sit through that, but thank you for doing it!
Thanks for making this video Sam that video makes me want to cry every time it shows up on my recommended :’)
If you do another reaction video you should react to some of the Bright Sun Films ship videos. They have made videos on the disasters of a few ships like the Costa Concordia, Andrea Dorea, and SS America. Not sure if you’ll see this comment but I think it would be a good video.
8:54 and yes, very much
Hey Sam. if you ever do more reaction videos like this, I suggest wearing headphones so your face cam doesn't pickup the audio from the video and instead can be recorded from the camera of the video itself
Hi Sam, love your videos. I’m going through a tough time at the moment and your channel really helps. Thank you for watching ‘Bright Side’ video and correcting the many mistakes. It was interesting for me to see if I could spot the errors.
Please keep up the good work and I look forward to watching more of your intelligent videos. 👍🇬🇧🇺🇦
Always great to watch reviews made by content creators who are dedicated to their field of expertise. So I don't mind such reviews at all, thank you for correcting false claims HT, I know why I'm here as a subscriber to this channel :)
10:10 the moment I heard that I died from the inside 💀
Edit: 22:09 yep you can see his pain.
@Historic Travels Hey Sam, at the time of the Titanic's sinking, radio, or wireless, was not viewed by ship captains as a primary means of communication. Case in point, on the morning of the sinking, the Carpathia and Californian are within visual sight of each other and are communicating with the traditional signal flags. There is a picture of the Californian taken from the Carpathia and the Californian is displaying a series of flags, and the first one is "Answer." It's known that both ships were equipped with wireless but the captains chose to communicate via flags. That changed shortly after the sinking.
Hey sam! Ive liked your videos ever since the Lusitania series. Your one of my favourite youtubers. You are amazing! ~ Harold
Great video! I've enjoyed watching your videos about the Titanic, but watching your reaction was exceptional I had to laugh as it reminded me of me especially when I'm at work 😆😆.
26:33 THERES NO WAY ANYONE COULD’VE SAVED ALL THE PASSENGERS! Bright Side perpetuating even more myth. A rescue at sea takes a lot of time, even now, but especially then, requiring human-rowed lifeboats (no wind that night). By the time either the Californian or the Samson could’ve picked through the ice field, there was simply no time to carry out that massive rescue ferrying over 2,000 people between ships. Ships which were much much smaller and carrying cargo. (I don’t even believe the seal-hunting ship was there. The Californian definitely saw the Titanic, but special light refraction in the atmospheric conditions that night made it seem closer than it was.) Further, the Titanic would eventually be listing too badly to launch lifeboats. And it would’ve been too dangerous to pull the Californian right up alongside the Titanic to speed things up.
The Andrea Doria rescue in 1956 took like 11 hours ferrying between multiple ships, for example. In the situation the Titanic and Californian were in, there was simply no time for a full-scale rescue. Yes, they maybe could’ve saved some additional lives, and any additional life saved would’ve been precious, but saving *everyone* was never possible.
Stanley Lord was a poor leader who ran a dysfunctional workplace thanks to his intimidating attitude, making all his subordinates hesitant to voice their concerns, and doubtful of their own judgement. They all walked on eggshells. But that doesn’t mean he was to blame for the ~1500 lives lost in the Titanic disaster. He was demonized then and is still being demonized now, by videos like Bright Side’s.
Blame for the disaster is divided among all different people whose decisions lead to a freak accident in circumstances nobody could foresee.
Oh I know the struggles with watching content makers stuff such as payware models, games or videos like that, people who simply don't care. You serve a good purpose, you love what you are doing, and I'm sure many of us can't thank you enough for your efforts on giving us the right information, doing research and make of this an educational and fun experience. You keep that respect for the people who lost their lives that fateful night, keep the legacy of the Titanic alive and the history surrounding the disaster. Thank you Historic Travels! Greetings from Mexico.
If it makes you feel any better this is kind of torture for me too because I was the titanic fanatic but we all appreciate that you did this😊
I laughed out loud when they said the moon was behind the clouds. I KNEW that was going to get you. Hell even in the movies they show its a CLEAR MOONLESS night!
I also cracked up at 19:56 When you welled! Poor man is STRESSED!
Oh boy when I was younger I loves bright side but then at 13 years old I saw all the terrible video and listened to the historians like you Sam!
I hate the Bright Side videos!!! I didn't subscribe to that channel !!! Too much clickbait for my mind!!! I subscribed to Historic Travels during Titanic month !!!!!
@@Rose19127 agree
This was highly entertaining 😂
I've been subscribed to you for awhile now and honestly this is where I come for more information with any ships. 19:57 what we see here is rare footage of someone rightfully getting angry. Regarledd keep up the good work dude 👍🏻
Honestly this was so much fun. You should do more of these lol
Their videos are awful. I had one forwarded to me more than a year ago by one of my non-ocean liner enthusiast friends. Eye roll. At least it makes us appreciate folks like you and Tom Lynsky who actually put the effort in and give terrific content!
I used to watch BRIGHT SIDE and I watched all their titanic videos and I loved it
Then watching other youtubers I realised how tricked I was
I havent seen your videos in so long ive been so busy but man that intro is cool!!! im so impressed with your channel and how much it has grown! great work Sam
When you mix some truth with lies it's more believeable
Bright Side be like:
“On November 28, 1939, the Titanic left the harbor at New York on its fourth voyage to Gdańsk, Sweden, when it struck a torpedo and sunk to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.”
Sorry, Sam. I didn’t mean to raise your blood pressure. 😅
Omg !!!
The Ship that was supposed to be the Californian in the video IS THE CARPATHIA. It was a pic from the footage from when she was nearing New York with the survivors.
Thank you for always being there your videos are really make me happy on days that I thought nothing can make me happy thank you for selling my phone to my mom you are the best please keep up the good walk you are very good man
His computer fan was GOING during this! Also, edit, I have a huge side rant. I once saw a school project poster about the Titanic, and none of the pictures on it were even of the titanic. And it wasn't even something like, "It's actually the Olympic" it was actually other ships, like a colorized photo of the SS United States! HOW DO YOU GET IT THAT WRONG????? Also, I'm a sort of artist and draw ships in my spare time, and the amount of times people ask, "Is that the Titanic" on a drawing that looks remotely CLOSE to the titanic is absurd. Anyways, rant done. Good day!
I too am an artist, and the fact that people will mistake any ship for the _Titanic_ is infuriating. If the ship has four funnels, it’s at least understandable, but I guess that these people have forgotten how to count to four, because they have even mistaken a research vessel for the _Titanic._
@@Daniel_Huffman Nice, looks like I'm not the only one who finds this mildly annoying!
@@cooldude815doesthings14 It has gotten so bad that I started charging 10¢ every time someone does this. Naturally, some people think that being told not to call my ships the _Titanic_ means to say the word _"Titanic"_ several times over just for the sake of it, in which case it’s 20¢ for each one, which builds up quickly.
If I'm not payed back by the end of the month, those fines are instead imposed on the first illustration I sell the next month. This serves both as a lesson in not jumping to conclusions as well as a way to tell what type of person they are. A group this month made that mistake thrice and wouldn’t pay me back. I told them what that would result in, to which one of them said that he didn’t care. Mind you, 30¢ is almost 10% of an illustration under normal circumstances as it is, but as you can see, the fact that they didn’t care says a lot about the type of people they are.
Sam I felt your pain, in fact “their” video made me angry 😡 I love everything (that is true, real & not theatrical ) about the Titanic & I know a lot about this beautiful ship (not as much as you though 😆) “their” videos dishonor the Titanic, it’s crew & its passengers (as well as their descendants) bad on them 😡 thank you Sam for clarifying “their” lies / errors!
You are correct about the distress rockets. In the International Rules of the Road, Article 31: Class 1, called for - a cannon or explosive device fired at one minute intervals.
Article 31: Class 3, covered the sight of distress which is a rocket of any color fired one at a time at short intervals.
I am subscribed to you already and other historians and explorers who speak about the Titanic and other shipwrecks and maritime disasters. I didn't know who Brightside was and assumed they were one of the channels suggested to me because I watch your videos. Within the first few seconds I was already scowling at the screen from the inaccuracies. Glad to see you've already commented on this!
Is it really a historic travels video if Sam doesn't say "so hey" twice in the intro?
I say no
I have waited SO long for your reaction to these videos!!
thank you so much i have been waiting for one of these videos.
i truly enjoy your videos! A LOT!! thank you!😊
A new Historic Travels video! What a way to start my day off.
00:13:10 ''not terribly wrong'' is surprisingly good for bright side
I shouted out loud, “there was no moon!” My cats just stared at me.
Sam I loved your reactions here and ho you gave the correct information. Historic Travels is my go-to ship and Titanic channel. That other channel, while entertaining can get on the nerves with the inconsistencies and inaccuracies. Keep up the great work.
Yes!!! I'm so glad you're doing this!!! Someone needed to.
I take my time to subscribe; I've been watching your videos for a few months. You make good quality videos and I've decided to subscribe now. Thank you for education.
8:42 its crazy that like 10 seconds earlier Bright Side correctly said “moonless night” then they say the wrong thing 😂
Ive been waiting for this for so long and I literally died of laughter at 21:58 🤣
Now I understand why Nautical Study calls Titanic the RMS Clickbait.
Wow, so close to a 100, 000 subs...keep up the great work:)
man bright side done my favorite ship aka Carpathia dirty here 21:54
It's so encouraging to see that I'm not alone in getting angry while watching Bright Side videos xD
I know how you feel. Great job fighting the misinformation :D
I’m so glad you did this! I have seen at least two Bright Side videos with huge glaring mistakes about Titanic. So I just assume all their info is BS. I wrote a long comment on the very video you’re talking about, because I’d also looked up the passenger list and saw he wasn’t even on the ship. I remember how annoyed I was, because there’s no reason to lie when there’s plenty of good material that’s at least not fabricated from whole cloth.
Sam, I'm the same way, so I know how you feel. You mentioned Tom Linskey. I know him from Part Time Explorer, as I am subscribed to his channel, also. He does documentary videos, with his wife. I live at the very bottom of South Jersey, on an island, off the coast. Tom has reviewed some of the shipwrecks, that exist in our area. Three in our county, alone.
Hey Sam I just wanted you to know you are the best I love watching your channel I’m always so anxious to watch new vids it’s hard for me to find a vid to watch cus I watched almost all of them
I just realized part of what I like so much about your videos is that your room looks like it could be on the Titanic😂
U r the best cuz u say what i am screaming at these other vids. Im.not as good as u but i studied this wreck starting in 96. I still have all of my memorabilia.
Ohh Bright Side... I never heard of these guys until that video where Tom Lynskey called them out when bringing up Yellow Journalism to describe Bright Side (and even made a crack about how fitting it was that Bright Side was yellow when describing it). After that, I made sure to never even give them a single click.
As much as you tortured yourself watching one of their videos.... the reactions were great, not gonna lie. 😅
Thanks for doing it though, Sam.
Love your content your so underrated keep up the good work 🙂
I love your reaction to this video! Can we please have more reactions to Titanic videos?
That’s exactly why I love those livestreams😂😂😂
The ship that they show as a colored picture of the Californian, was a picture of the Carpathia from the front of a book. (Voices from the Carpathia)
This was hilarious, thank you Sam!
lmao... At 9:00, you ask "you all are enjoying this, aren't you?" Yes! Watching you rave is making my morning! lol
I love!!!!!!!!! to see you rage on camera it’s the funniest thing ever from Elias and Evie 😊❤
