To think, that before The Big Piece was recoverd, she hadn't seen the light of day since *1912.* Very haunting and tragic...
[Vasa has entered the chat] Hold my lutfisk !
@@fenrislegacy ?????
I'm guessing Vasa is a ship that's been down longer and raised. Lutfisk sounds like something consumed by those who built the Vasa.
An example of how this format works is if the discussion was about Hilary Clinton falling to the ground, Biden would enter the chat and ask for his chocolate chocolate chip icecream to be held. Biden would show us how it's done as we're holding his icecream for him. Usually its beer that is always part of the format, "hold my beer".
@@RobbyBabesyou’re mentally ill
It's a piece of metal you saddo 🤣🤣🤣
This is known as "the big piece". When this exhibit came to my area, I was able to actually touch it (before they moved the barrier to keep people from touching it). It's amazing that I was able to touch an actual part of that iconic ship
Yup I did too when it was at the Branson Titanic museum 👍🏼 touching “The Ship of Dreams” will be in memory FOREVER like a curse but more as a mutual respect to those who didn’t survive the disaster 🙏🏼
That is lucky.
I've not had the fortune to see these pieces of Titanic. But I have touched part of the Tirptiz.
You are so lucky. I like to touch historical artefacts which aren’t fragile in order to make that tangible link to history. That would’ve been so cool to touch a piece of such a famous wreck that had been underwater for the better part of a century. I’m so envious.
Yes i was able to touch the big piece when it was on display in Melbourne Australia .
It's crazy to think that one day the big piece will be the only part of the ship still in existence.
True... but look at it this way; the Titanic will never fully vanish off the face of the Earth. Even if it deteriorates enough to where it's just a red stain on the bottom of the ocean floor, we still have parts of the ship that will never, ever go away. The Titanic will forever remain here on this Earth.
That's so far into the future it' not even worth mentioning. There will always be something down there.
@@1940limited Before it gets to that point, the Titanic will be raised. I'm sure of it.
@@Jeff-uj8xi nah, it would collapse, and it’s illegal
@@Jeff-uj8xi I'd like to raise it but fear it would fall apart if anyone tries to move it.
Hi , I was a friend of George Tulloch and his wife Cindy when he brought the big piece up. His famous words as it hit the surface were "how do you say in French don't break the glass , how do you say glass in French". LOL George was an amazing guy! Had the privilege of seeing first hand many parts of the exhibitions and was mentioned in his book . Great guy and he did a great service to the history of this ship. Please keep him in your memory, not the one one who found it, but the one who brought it back !
I’ve actually seen this part of the hull at the Titanic exhibit in Las Vegas back in 2013. You can almost reach out and touch it. Great exhibit and a sobering experience when you see this and many other artifacts in person.
@Aggressive Filmmaker I saw the "C" deck part of the hull at Las Vegas in 2008. At that time you could walk right up and touch the piece of hull which of course everyone was doing. I didn't put my hands on it though, I went to but I couldn't,
I didn't feel right about it, but that's just me.
☑️🤔 I recognize this fragment from when I was returning to America on the Titanic. I had fought in the African Boer wars some years earlier, but i stayed in South Africa, where I had gotten into the bustling puff adder farming industry. Unfortunately, it turns out that puff adder wool wasn't as commercially successful as I'd initially hoped, so I traded all my remaining puff adder wool to J Crew in exchange for a 1st class ticket home on the Titanic.
Luckily, I'd packed a small 1-man kayak, which I was able to use to row myself and 16 other passengers to safety in the port town of St Louis Missouri. 😉
@@kwd3109 Same. It’s a holy monument man. The weight of such a tragedy is not lost on me. I love Titanic as if she was my ship but I will not disturb her when there is no good reason to. I feel the ship and I already have a “connection” where touching it adds no further value. The oils on our hands can also be quite destructive and I have no intention of damaging her further.
Before my 93 Year old Grandmother died I took her to the Titanic traveling exhibit when it was in Milwaukee Wisconsin. When nobody was around I took my Grandma around the simple roped off portion of the "big piece" so she could touch it. Now my Grandmother is gone, but now I have that little bit of satisfaction for what I had done. At the time I thought to myself, what the hell are they going to do to us if they catch us? Because of my actions that day, I made possible for my Grandmother to be able to actually touch a piece of the Great Ship. What a memory to have.
Excellent video and you are spot on of what just happened during a dive to the Titanic for tourism. Such a tragedy. Our friends gave us tickets to the Titanic exhibit. We saw and touched the “Big Piece” and all the artifacts. We were also present when one set of Titanic’s whistles which was recovered from the Ocean floor, was blown publicly for the first and last time back in February 1999 in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, while over 10 thousand watched and listened to the voice of Titanic once again after 87 years. They expected 2 thousand and a sea of over 10 thousand showed for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I live in Vegas, I've seen the C deck level part and it was amazing. The whole artifact museum was incredible, there was an unopened bottle of champagne that was still pretty full too!
I visited the exhibit in Las Vegas on February 26th and the big piece was there. I had no idea something that large had been recovered, and when I turned that corner and came to face it I was speechless.
My mother and I saw this beautiful piece in Torino when the 'Titanic Exhibition' came here in Italy. It was an incredible experience.
I’ve seen this ‘big piece’ in a touring Exhibition that travelled to Melbourne, Australia many years ago. It gave me the chills. The exhibition was excellent.
I recently became fascinated with the Titanic story when I was researching safety policy for workers. I really enjoy all the videos and the little mini-stories. I never realized any of this. Thanks for all your research.
I remember seeing the piece in person in Las Vegas several years ago and it was hauntingly beautiful. It was so incredible to see an actual piece of the Titanic and to be able to see the rivets and even some intact pieces of glass in the porthole. It's so much bigger in person
Yes, it's bigger in person.
Wow, that’s some crazy engineering and logistics for bringing a 20T chunk of the Titanic up to the surface again.
The only piece of the ship to sink twice!
Great video, thanks for posting!
I've touched that piece of the hull. It was on display at a museum in Phoenix with a large, thick wall of glass in front of it with a small hole that allowed spectators to touch the hull. That thing was massive. It was hung from the ceiling with huge chains and was about the size of roof of a house. It's still surreal to this day to know that my hand touched the actual Titanic, along with many other exhibit visitors of course. It's still just mind = blown for me. They also had a huge wall of white ice that was the same temperature as the ocean where it sank that night and visitors were encouraged to see how long they could put their hands on it. I lasted about 4 seconds, it was unbearably painful. To think that people fell into that water. It would have put their body into shock and been a short death. The exhibit was so well done. People were crying when they left.
I was at that exhibit in Phoenix too! I was like maybe 9 or 10 at the time but I still remember it very well! It's funny I am on vacation in Phoenix currently and took my kids to the Phoenix science center and told them about that exhibit a couple days ago
I just went to go see The Big Piece just last week and the entire museum was outstanding. to see real artifacts and pieces that were on the ocean floor from the Titanic was breathtaking. When I reached the room that has The Big Piece, I was blown absolutely away. It’s way bigger than I pictured and to be standing in front of the actual piece of the Titanic with the actual glass still intact was just amazing.
The Big Piece is displayed in the Luxor Hotel in Vegas. Highly recommend to see it. Not just The Big Piece, but everything. It’s a two hour experience and has so much actual pieces from the Titanic and objects that belonged to the actual passengers. Loved the whole experience and I’m for sure going again
Hey historic travels! I’m a kid who started learning about titanic (by myself not for school) and your videos really explode my brain! I started watching in 2021 and now I always watch your videos and you helped me learn about the new ship that has been discovered! Thank you for making these videos and keep up the good work!
I’m 10 and I’m doing that to
Not for school
@@Ragnorock-kd2ep that’s cool
Keep up YOUR good work. You are the future who will carry on the legacy when old folks like me and the rest of us are gone. You have a wonderful journey ahead of you.
@@toddkurzbard ?
I touched this piece when I was like 10 years old in Seattle WA. I couldn't believe it, and nobody has believed me. I thought it was a dream until this video. Thank you!
One additional thing about the 1996 expedition…they chartered 2 cruise ships full of Titanic buffs to go out and observe the recovery efforts of the Big Piece. I was in college and a huge Titanic fan. It was amazing…there were authors, experts, and speakers on board as well as Survivors. One of the Navratil twins, Edith Haisman Brown, and one other I can’t remember. I remember watching the big piece come knowing it was just below the surface….and then it snapped and fell to the floor. Again. even so… it was special being in those waters at that spot. When we got back to Boston I met Milvinna Dean which was awesome as well.
Awesome memories!
I was invited to go on that chartered expedition, but since I had been on that ship
before, on a regular cruise, I decided not to go! However, I did "touch" that metal
slab, when it was on display in Atlantic City! Also, I have a personalized piece of
anthracite (coal) which was inside the "Titanic" & that video! Sorry I missed it!
I saw the C Deck Level piece when the titanic exhibit came to Victoria BC. It was on display so you could touch it. One of the more amazing experiences of my life, being a huge Titanic enthusiast
Crazy that you can say that you touched the original titanic that sank in 1912.
It must have been a magnificent experience. To think that you are touching an actual piece of the titanic. Not any replica or anything like that, no, touching an actual, real part of the Legendary ship that the ocean swallowed 100 years ago, I wish to one day experience it too.
I saw it there also. I thought that exhibit was fantastic. They gave you a ticket of some sort with the name of a passenger from the Titanic on it. At the end of the exhibit, you could look up the name you had and find out if you had survived or not. They also had people dressed with outfits like those on the Titanic. They could answer any questions. I could have spent at least one more day if not 2 days going through that exhibit, so many artifacts but also a lot to read and watch. There was also new information about things that they had recently been discovered regarding the accident. Amazing!! 🇨🇦
I saw this in April when I went to the exhibition in Vegas. It was very moving, I’ll never forget it.
I've been wanting to go see "the big piece" in person ever since they cleaned it up and put it on display. I remember being legitimately heartbroken the first time they tried to retrieve it and failed so I was absolutely over the moon when they went back and actually succeeded. It's beyond incredible to see a piece of the Titanic in person, I'm sure, and I really hope I get to see it for myself someday. I've been "obsessed" (can't think of a better-suiting word lol) with Titanic since I was a very young kid (the wreck was even discovered the year I was born) so there's not a thing in the world that could ever make me lose interest and give up on my literal need to see this in person. She's sadly rusting away, rotting, deteriorating, whatever you wanna call it, and it gives me some comfort knowing there's a part of her that we managed to save and preserve that'll still be here when she's unrecognizable or virtually gone completely.
I had the chance to see the C deck big piece in person a few years ago in Las Vegas and it was truly awe inspiring. It’s massive and to look at it and think of everything it’s been through from construction to sinking to being right in front of you. It gives you a sliver of an idea of what it would have been like to see the ship in person.
We were at the Titanic Experience in Orlando in January and got to see the Big Piece D-deck fragment or the "Little Big Piece" as they call it. There's also a plexi box with a small twisted chunk that you can reach through and touch which is separate from the piece. I'd love to go to Vegas sometime to see that museum...
Viewed the big piece at Chicago Museum of Science & Industry in 2002, it along with other recovered artifacts were on display from May through November 2002. Went two consecutive weekends in July, first weekend with one of my adult sons, second weekend with my father who was also very interested in the Titanic story. My dad and I spent most of our day at the museum wandering the large Titanic exhibit area. Stood right before this section of "C" deck during both visits, within two feet of it, with no guard rail, glass or anything else between me and this piece of history. While the guard was distracted by another visitor stepped up to the hull section and held the edge between thumb and index finger. Am a retired Tool & Die Maker, worked with metals my whole career, and was surprised to find how "light" and "soft" the hull felt between finger and thumb. Not compressible soft, but no other words have yet come to mind to describe my touch. Still reminisce about those visits regularly.
That’s fascinating that the steel would feel like that. Do you suppose it’s due to being underwater?
@@mikaelafox6106 That was my guess too, but it is only my guess.
@@75RWM Still quite fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
I have seen the big piece in Las Vegas.
It is incredible. it is much bigger than I originally expected.
Standing next to it, I felt small.
You're a great story teller. So much enthusiasm. Thank you.
Gosh, I'm happy they could just get what they could cause I dont think a lot of us ain't going down there to see the titanic no time in my life time. So, at least we could see some history that's iconic in a museum maybe. That'll be so cool.
I love your humor and energy! You're so funny, you actually make history fun.
I saw the “big piece” in Las Vegas back in 2000… among many other artifacts of the wreck. It is really something to see. 😮
You are right about the C deck being in Las Vegas. when they opened the museum there… I was lucky enough to be one of the first in and the tour guide allowed me to go up and actually touch that section of the ship. Along with hold one of the pocket watches that was brought up. The emotions that came out of me were ridiculous. Not only being able to touch a few remnants from the ship… But the history behind it was what really got me. I’ll never forget that experience and I’m hoping to go back again soon.
“The Big Piece”, the largest bit of the ship to be recovered, currently on display at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in their Titanic exhibit.
I visited it in June of 2021, it’s a hell of a tour.
Hearing you break down this plus tell us how no human can swim down there and live to tell it. After what just happened to the little submarine that didn't stand a chance due to it not being properly built, it's chilling to know that water can do that so quickly
How do we know we can't swim down there if we never tried
@@SpeakerG3well how about you swim down there, and tell us all about it. 😁
@@chrissylovinmylife sure after you shut up
@@chrissylovinmylifethat's how flat earthers begin 😂😂😂
When they first unvveiled the big piece in 1998 in Boston, they had a big press conference that only news people and dignitaries were allowed to attend. the limited what people could see and they couldn't really get near it. My then 4 year old Son was fanatical about the Titanic, so we tried to see if we could sneak a peek at it. We got there about an hour after the press conference and the place was deserted. So we walked right up to it up close and personal. We have a photo somewhere of me and my son holding onto it. The steel was surprisingly thick and solid compared to other rusted boat hulls that I've seen.
I saw this in vegas. The whole museum is super cool.
After the incident that happened last weekend, I guess people will be looking to find the main debris pieces of the imploded sub and bring it up the same way they did with the Big Piece.
As everything returns to the earth, it’s amazing to know that one piece at least will be preserved for future generations to know the history and hopefully learn from it.
I visited the Orlando museum as soon as i moved to Florida and it was great! The d deck piece was so big I thought it was just a replica of part of the ship
I think this "piece" was on display @ the Titanic exhibit @ the Luxor when I visited last year. It was amazing to see in person.
I was at a titanic exhibition a few years ago and they had this piece there and was able to touch it. It was an eerie feeling knowing it's history and the people that were around that piece during it's fateful event
Really interesting, informative video! Thanks for posting! 👍
So that part of Titanic sank twice! Man alive! I did not know that. I know it's wishful thinking but, I hope one day someone will bring more pieces like this back up to the surface. Before she's gone forever. It would be amazing to have parts of the hull in Belfast and Southampton.
I live in Southampton however Titanic belongs where she is..its a graveyard
I remember watching the documentary of them raising this piece when it originally aired on The Discovery Channel (I think) in the 90s. I was already a huge Titanic nerd but that was a fun time to be a Titanic nerd.
Thanks for the details, I'd wondered where it came from. Like many others commenting here, I saw this in person, in Seattle, several years ago. They'd also recovered small lumps of coal from the bunkers and were selling them at that time. i bought a piece, which I still have
Can I see it please
Hi Sam. Your video just answered a question I've long been pondering. And in answering it, I'm still left scratching my head. There are many areas of Titanic's hull that contain a ridiculous number of rivets, and the big piece is one of them. They are arranged in large matrices of tightly spaced rivets. Just one of the spaces between the hull ribs has almost 120, and there are several sections with nearly this many. So I always wondered, what’s on the other side? What could so many rivets in these tightly spaced matrices be holding together? It appears the answer is nothing! We can see both the inboard side of this hull piece as well as the outboard, and they aren’t connecting anything…unless they are holding together double thickness sections of hull plating. Can you tell me what so many rivets concentrated on certain areas of the hull are for? Thanks.
Maybe the number of rivets are due to the forces acting on that particular part of the hull, the piece looked like it was from roughly the middle of the ship so I'm assuming there would be large bending forces in that area and the extra rivets could help with keeping a watertight seal. This is just speculation on my part so I'm probably wrong.
I've stood next near the c deck peice its so big its kinda scary that it's hanging from the ceiling at the museum
I saw this piece at the Luxor exhibit in Las Vegas, and for me, this and the real piece of ice, made it real for me. Too many people romanticize the tragedy because of the movie, which took creative licensing with the Jack & Rose love story for marketing reasons, but makes people forget the big picture. People looking for a better way of life, died and never made it to their destination. I hope this traveling exhibit lasts for many more years, so that the memory of those who perished is preserved for posterity.
To take a shot every time "the big piece hall fragment" is said, will require 16 (half gallon) of whiskey to finish the video.
I saw a Titanic artifact display in Boston back in the late 90's and they had a lifeboat davit close by that you could (and I did) reach over the rope to touch it, kinda cool. I bought a windbreaker there, I still wear it.
I got to see this in Vegas. Whole exhibit is amazing.
The Las Vegas Titanic Exhibit is AMAZING!!!!! Lots of artifacts!!!!
Saw the “Big piece” in Vegas 3 times….Awesome!
How did.... how did they actually do this? How did they raise this piece?? To get the ties around it like that - they did that 2+M under ocean water?? In the North Atlantic? BTW: So, I was born in 1980 -- This all was a HUGE DEAL when I was 5, 6, 7, 8. I remember going through NatGeo and memorizing every single little data point -- I was so obsessed. You are a 6 year old boys (who still kinda occupies a bit of me) absolute hero --- seriously - if we had youtube and this channel in '86 - '88 - I would have never left you alone! It is so cool to see your dedication, devotion, and content about this to retain it, sustain it, keep it in our memories. And, I know, there is someone today 5, 6, 7 going to a white elephant, getting their first plastic model and assembling it and, google/youtubing you and you are giving them so much cool, accessible, smartly delivered content - its really great! :)
I saw this in the Titanic Exhibit in Vegas.... shock and awe....I still have my "boarding pass" that they give you when you enter the exhibit.
I got to grow up in NYC, Hell’s Kitchen in the heart of Manhattan. It was the last bastion of working class housing in the bourough outside of Harlem, which of course didn’t last and I had to be expatriated 11 years ago. In 2011 the Titanic exhibit came through town, and I was lucky enough to see The Big Piece in physical reality in front of me. I really had no idea how lucky I was to be living in such a cultural center, where I had instant access to so much of our collective heritage, it was just my normal. I even got to buy an actual goddamn piece of coal they raised from the bottom, which of course I went to to lose because I was 10. There’s an artifact of history floating around the plumbing or drywall of an apartment in Hell’s Kitchen somewhere, ugh.
Something really didnt want a part of titanic to go up. Incredible how the storm suddenly hit and broke the rope, and the part went back to the bottom of the ocean after hours of hard work? And was just 200ft away from the air. Like..something didnt let even a small part of titanic went up, like it was really meant to sink. Titanic is cursed, but somehow the story is fascinating
I saw the piece at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago. You couldn't touch the big piece but there was a smaller piece of hull plate to touch. I fit my hand in and lifted the piece and I felt like all the others who left comments. To touch "Titanic" after years of study; I will never forget it. The Museum also had a Marconi room made up of period pieces from their collection. I wish the Titanic Exhibit would tour the country again.
Thanks! This was very entertaining, and you even made it suspenseful.
I saw this piece on the titanic display at Chicago science and industry in 1999.. All of it was really something
I remember several years ago when the large section was on display at the museum of science and industry in Tampa. I rode several miles alongside of a flat bed truck on I 75 transporting that section.
That’s insane that they were able to identify where that piece went all the way down to the rooms it covered. Like how?!
ua-cam.com/video/GypJ1tTXX6s/v-deo.html 13:40
2 and a half miles under the sea. That's crazy man. It's still a sad story to think about. I remember when I saw the original film "A Night To Remember".... I started having nightmares as a kid.... it was not fun. The original was scarier to watch than the 1997 film. What's so crazy about Some Black and White films... they look so real.
Awesome breakdown of the information surrounding the piece. Just wanted to clarify though that you would not be crushed swimming at that depth. You're made of mostly water, so you're only slightly compressible. You would not, however, be able to breathe any kind of gas mixture because they all become hyper toxic at over 400 atmospheres of pressure. So, while you wouldn't be crushed swimming around, you wouldn't be able to breathe any kind of air mixture, let alone metabolize it into your blood stream.
I went to the Boston Mass 1998, travel museum and I got to touch it with my right hand .
I saw it when they.did the traveling museum back in like 2003. in Raleigh NC. where.you get a boarding pass and at the end you look at the names.on the wall and your boarding pass to see if you survived or not. pretty cool experience
If not for the sheer determination of thd expedition team we would have never gotten go see the big piece. Hats off to them
I have seen and TOUCHED both pieces in Orlando and Vegas. Now I can say I touched the Titanic.
Trolling us?????
Hehehe
@@HistoricTravels you got us good Sam
The joke about scrapping it got me, new sub lol
I recently read a book on 19th century shipbuilding. It was riveting.
I'm actually going to Orlando this summer to see a chunk of the hull, so this recommendation is perfect.
You got to love youtube's algorithm...
Excellent information... You can really visualize the tragedy!
Sam, you should come out to TitanicCon 23 at the Luxor in August. My friend, Bill Willard, designed the ROV called T-Rex that helped with the recovery of the big piece. He, along with others, which would've included PH Nargeolet, will be speaking of the 98 expedition. There will also be some cast from the '97 Titanic movie and family members of the passengers sharing their stories.
Super Stoked to have dropped on this thanks ❤
Just discovered your channel, love your material!
You sir are a UA-cam gem!
The "Big piece" is where al the collection series rust bits came from that you could buy (I own two) and its the only part of the titanic that sunk twice.
I personally think they should bring up whatever they can before its all gone. The pictures/videos of the ship from when they did the movie to today is a big difference.
Years ago I had an invitation to go and see that piece raised in person. Didn't have the money cause I was in high school. Would have been awesome to have been there and seen it come up. I have seen it in person a couple times. Once in Vegas and a couple years ago in Florida with my fiance.
Actually, knowing that the stateroom this hull plating was a part of, wasn't even occupied on the Titanic's maiden voyage.
... That makes this artifact the most wholesome out of all the Titanic artifacts.
Thank you for the video. It was well done. I found it today. I was in charge of the recovery in 1996 and 1998. It was, at this time, a big challenge. We also had the option to use a line, but we didn't have a line strong enough for lifting 20 tons, and with the strong currents on the bottom and on the surface ( Gulf Stream), it was impossible to do it. That is why we used lift bags. Today If I had to do it again, I would use a line and a ship with a large crane as the technology makes it possible.
I know some people think we should not recover artifacts from the debris field. We think the artifacts are the "historical memory of the Titanic," and when the wreck will disappear, which is, unfortunately, the future of any wreck, the artifacts will still be there for the public and future generations. I respect all different opinions, but more and more people think it is good to recover artifacts, preserve them, and display them for the public. As in the video, the C deck part of the big piece is in a permanent exhibit in Las Vegas, and the D deck part in Orlando is also in a permanent Titanic exhibit. PH N
Wait you were actually involved with the recovery? I would love to talk to you about it. Can you email me at historictravels1@gmail.com? Thanks
Nice video! So, if I’m not mistaken a big piece hull fragment for the titanic was recovered, this big piece hull fragment was part of the c and d deck. Since one part of this big piece hull fragment was in an odd shape the had to cut a part of this big piece hull fragment to be displayed in different museums. The first time they attempted to get this big piece hull fragment out of the ocean, the big piece hull fragment due to a storm fell down all the way down so two years later they went back to retrieve the big piece hull fragment again, this time they achieved and got the big piece hull fragment out. Wow! So amazing how this big piece hull fragment was finally retrieved and is now in exhibition, such and engineering feat to get this big piece hull fragment out for people to see. I got to see this big piece hull fragment in Las Vegas a few years ago, definitely this big piece hull fragment is a very interesting artifact from the titanic and this big piece hull fragment deserves a video on its own mentioning that it’s a big piece hull fragment with everyone taking a tequila shot every time the big piece hull fragment is mentioned. 😀
I saw the C deck level piece at the Luxor. It’s an amazing piece of history.
I remember seeing this in a Titanic exhibition in Vegas years ago..
I saw this Big Piece fragment at the Titanic Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor in Vegas. It is such an incredible tour. The piece massive but in comparison to the vessel itself is merely a fingernail.
It was in Chicago for a while , and I was also able to touch the big piece , it was kind of a creepy experience , know the history and all , it was like you could actually feel the horror all those people were facing .
I love your Titanic knowledge _ thank you
bro boutta blow up after the sub did
I like that there will be one piece of the Titanic still remaining for a while longer to honor those who had died that day.
It’s amazing how they figured out it’s exact position it was on the Titanic.
Saw C deck on its tour in Manchester still got the admission tickets with passengers names on and you could check at end of tour if you made it. The wife and son made it i didnt typical but would have had it that way if it would have happened to us. One thing that got me was how cold the section was . At least i got to see it and also purchased my bit of coal top video keep them coming .
8:35 whose watching after the Oceangate?
Great info!! 👍🏽
I saw the ol big piece when it was in Seattle
It's crazy to think about that in decades the Titanic wreck will be gone! It's deteroiating on the ocean floor.
Something eerie about the big piece falling back down to the ocean floor when they were so close to having it.Like it didn’t want to be separated from the rest of the ship.😳
april 15 2012 i was in Las Vegas. I went to the museum. The big piece was there. It was roped off. It said do not touch. I hopped the rope and touched it anyways. 100 years to the day I touched the Titanic
Thankyou for such an interesting video. I liked it very much. I have learnt a lot and to see that come up from the depths of the ocean would make you want to touch a bit of history that will never die.
.... 1st off, I've seen this piece at the Titanic exposition in SF in the early 2000s when it was on display along with other artifacts. It is a massive chunk up close. It was the last thing you see when exiting the showing.
I saw a piece in Atlantic City years ago it was on the boardwalk in countaner
