I like hearing about the lives of the Titanic crew members and passengers as well. It brings them in a very real way. Not that they're not gone, they clearly are. They are in our thoughts and prayers. Well done and appropriate.
Continue with I hope that I didn't upset you because it's very hard to experience Titanic wreck just like for me and I m sure many Americans the similar experience September the 11th 2001 no matter how many years go by it will always be difficult. I am not kidding here. Next award season you might present your video or film. I'm not sure if it is long enough. You can, however, present it as a film 🎥 short for consideration for Oscar nod or nomination its appsalutely on point & very worthy. Take a shot and see what happens 😉. You will be able to say it was an honor to be nominated. But I think you very well could walk with the Golden dude Oscar.
Amazing video thanks. What makes me mad is any survivors that talk about that night are always wrong in what happened.You know that people with questions, who weren't there, think they know all the answers. Like the ship broke in two because they said so, as they were there, the people asking questions were not. What Lowe said was true as he saw it and experienced it, they did not.
Harold Lowe was an exceptional man, even if he was so humble he wouldn’t admit it. Thanks for making this video about him. You did him justice. 👏🏻 I enjoy your videos immensely and I learn so much, not only about the ship, but about the people aboard her. I look forward to your next one. ☺️
Thank you for making a detailed video about 5th Officer Lowe. I’ve been wanting to learn more about the officers and crew of Titanic, and this video was perfect. What a humble man, and excellent ship officer he was.
You’re welcome! 🥰 I’m planning on doing a video for each one, and will, hopefully, be starting the next one soon! And if you want to learn more about 5th Officer Lowe, I highly recommend the book ”Titanic Valour” by Inger Sheil. She goes into more detail than I did. :)
Such a beautiful and touching story. One of our many unsung heroes, simply doing what their good conscious told them. But I have to add, he was a remarkable man by any standard. And I really appreciate this wonderful presentation which is fitting for such a good man. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰 It’s incredibly important to me that the people who were involved are remembered and remembered in the way they should be, especially the officers. They always seem to get the brunt of the blame. 😕 His kids, though… so adorable! 🥰 🥰
What a phenomenal tribute. I was brought to years several times over . You did such a beautiful job of telling his story, it's works like these that really humanize the story of the Titanic. Even if he had not showed such heroics, he still had a fascinating life and a story worth learning about. I want to thank you for the research and work that went into this. It was beautiful executed, a perfect example of how to do a documentary in an honorable, personal, and memorable way.
Aww, thank you so much, Natalie! I might have to print out this comment and frame it. 🤭 I’m so, so happy you enjoyed it. I’m glad I was able to bring Harold’s story to life for you. 🥰 If you want to learn more about him, I would highly recommend the book “Titanic Valour” by Inger Sheil. She spent well over a decade researching his life. There’s tons more about Harold in there that I couldn’t fit into this video! Take care! ♥️
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at 1:30 am 15 April if the entire amount of persons were replaced with the people in these comments sections... What a sight it would be to see Titanic...stern totally fuckin vertical and 1,500 UA-cam comment section warriors somehow bravely standing motionless, at attention, and totally unbothered by the vertical wall of Titanic's deck plunging beneath their feet. I can just hear that ethereal chant... 1,500 UA-cam commenters all selflessly commanding their neighbor to, "take my place in that boat, NOW" Yet nobody moves. Boats hanging at their davits, 1,500 people raising a salute right before the deck...and them... disappear beneath the waves.
Easy &interesting listening of your video ,your voice fits so well .I patrolled at Thompson Dock1990s doing security walking around the site in early hours there was special atmosphere surounding there .Little did I know until years later my Grandfather was Foreman Riveter on Titanic .His father a rigger on sailing ships.I visit here regularly as i live in East Belfast.Great story of RMS Titanic's 5th officer, Harold Godfrey Lowe❤
Thank you so much, David! That’s very kind of you! ☺️ That’s so amazing about your grandfather and great-grandfather! He must have been awesome at his job to be foreman riveter. 😄 I would absolutely love to visit the dry dock and museum one day.
Bravo! I was informed on your video in the Discord group of History Inside a Nutschell and my god am I glad for it! This video was very good Lowe is one of my favorite Crew members and you did not dissapoint, there were so many informations that I didn't know. You presented these informations in such a calm and respectfull way. I am sure to check out more of your great work! Just one little thing, sometimes the music was a bit loud compared to your voice but still this video was great! May god be with you.
Thank you so much! Oh, wow, really? 😳 I’m not at all familiar with Discord. I’ve never used it. Do I need an invite to check this community out? I’ve tried searching for it but it keeps telling me the link expired. 😕 Yeah, several people have commented about the music. Something went wrong as I was editing or rendering the video as everything sounded fine as I was editing. It wasn’t until after it was uploaded that the music volume became an issue. :( So, yeah, I’m aware of it and will keep it in mind for future videos. :) Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi. May the Force be with you, sir. 😉
@@History401 The Discord Server is the same name as the UA-cam channel of the person, maybe there is a valid link, but I could ask if you want. And yeah the editing is sometimes wierd. Nice to see another Oceanliner and Star Wars Fan! May the force be with you as well, young one 😅
Also, if you loved this, you should check out “Titanic Valour” by Inger Sheil, if you haven’t already. She spent a good 15 years or more researching Lowe’s life and published his biography in 2012. ☺️
the World needs more people like Harold. too bad just a couple years after Titanic an entire generation of the best men were wiped out, from all nations involved. from that loss Europe/the World never recovered from. throw in WWII:Electric Boogaloo 20 years later with an even larger loss of life, it's just so sad. millions of people who could have lived long lives and impacted the World in who knows how many ways. Imagine a world today with no Lord of the Rings. Tolkien could have easily been killed. How many more works of art were never created b/c of the horror of war?
Sadly, we have the benefit of hindsight. Who knows what we would have done had we been there that night? It’s easy to judge others for their inaction when we weren’t there to experience the event. They did all any man could do at the time and I don’t like to judge them for that. Thank you for watching. 🥰 Take care.
@@History401 Yeah, I hear ya. I guess I’m just kinda bored with Pittman’s role considering it was apparently the smallest of all and I guess it was a good thing Boxhall’s lifeboat stayed where it ended up considering the fact that it allowed his lifeboat to be the first to be found by the Carpathia so he could explain everything to Captain Rostron and help with the rest of the Carpathia’s rescue mission. Lowe did wait quite some time so of course he was only able to save a few lives from the water, but I know it was still heroic while all of the other officers bravely stayed behind on the sinking ship to see if anymore work could be done and ended up going into that frigid water doing so with Charles Lightoller being the only officer to make it out of that water alive, but only so he could calm down, organize, and guide the frightened and shivering men on the overturned lifeboat which I know was heroic too.
I would say so. 😔 I believe I read somewhere that he wouldn’t allow anyone to speak of it in the house. I’m not 100% on that, though. I can’t imagine what he must have seen when he went back for survivors. It must have been horrific. 😔
I come from the same area as Harold Lowe and recently visited his grave. Great video, apart from the background music, which is too loud and distracting.
