My paternal grandfather was supposed to emigrate to America from Sweden on the Titanic. He and his brother got as far as England, my great uncle went off to get drunk, and my grandfather missed the boat while trying to find him. They had both passed away by the time I was born, but I’ve always felt a connection to the boat. This is one time drinking can be good for your health, as I’m sure being male and not wealthy, they would have perished and my Dad would never have been born.
I can imagine at the time they missed it, they were upset. But I can't imagine how they felt when they heard about it sinking! It's amazing how something so small can make such a drastic difference.
@@Amongstthewildflowers14 it has always amazed me, and made me think about how a seemingly small thing - stopping at a red light and a car comes barreling through the intersection that would have caused a collision, leaving a couple of minutes earlier or later and having a near miss, things like that - really makes me think how interconnected all aspects of our lives really are!
This is an amazing story! Thank you for sharing it. I've never known why, but as a small child ( before the movie "titanic" came out) I've been intrigued with the history of Titanic. It would be interesting to see a movie based on those whom were supposed to be on the ship, but never made it.
Titanic really was ahead of its time. I remember going to a museum exhibit dedicated to it and they had pieces of people's stuff that was recovered on display and even had this tank that you could put your hand in to get a sense of how cold the water was at the time and feeling how cold it was its amazing to think anyone who fell into it actually survived that night
Things that are progressed beyond their time seem to fall and fall hard. Like it messes with some chaotic idea of balance. Just look at ancient Egypt or Rome.
@@spana123321 Bad jokes, dark jokes and just humor in general is a much needed balm when it comes to the most messed up things. It just is. We have to go with the punches but we don't have to do so without humor as our best defense.
Titanic had such few baths (only 4 total totally private bath onboard and dozens of public baths) because people generally took baths once a week, and it only took 5 days to cross the Atlantic. For those curious the private baths were the captains, the chief engineers, and 1st class cabins A-36 and A-37.
Interesting but one problem. Titanic was not a cruise ship, she was an ocean liner. Ocean liners are designed to transport people from one place to another on a regular schedule, a cruise ship is just for leisure and not rushing around to get to places.
That makes more sense, cause when they mentioned the woman who was transporting her roosters and hens, well I was confused 😂 I always thought of titanic as a cruise ship and those return back to their port of departure, so I didn’t know how was she going to get all that poultry to France lmaoo
I read that the third class did not have many bathtubs because at the time people generally took a bath once a week . The Titanic transatlantic trip was planned to be about 5.5 to 6 days, so most people would probably not need a bath. People would take a bath once a week but they would regularly wash up each day, at least on the hands and arms and face, with a water basin and soap and wash cloth, and people also washed their hands before eating whenever possible.
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 There were actually quite a few private baths that either serviced one or two cabins. Plus, the promenade suites had private baths. So, there were about 40 or so baths that weren't entirely public, either being attached to one cabin or two cabins.
@@SaraRoseVaughan Oh, I know that from British hotels, one bathroom for two rooms. There the unsual, two separated taps for cold and hot water are very much worse *. . .*
"Would you have wanted to share a bathroom with over 700 ppl?" I did. It's called a Naval aircraft carrier lol. And let me tell you it's not pretty. I'd like to hear what hygiene was like onboard early Naval ships like the USS Constitution
@@styldsteel1 thank you, it's rare to meet someone who acknowledges that. Also even if there were more lifeboats it likely wouldn't make much difference as the ship went down too fast, even the 2 last lifeboats weren't released but just floated away when the deck started flooding.
Even the 3rd class got 3 courses On day one the passengers of that class left after the soup and had to be called back for the other 2 courses cause they expected the soup to be the only course
The Turkish baths are amazing in that they survived so well. The pictures from the bottom of the ocean are extraordinary. Like the best pictures of anywhere on the ship.
Ok definitely too emotional today to have heard about Jenny the cat. While I feel sympathy for everyone on board….it had to have been so scary for the animals too.😞
The lack of private bathrooms even for most first class passengers, was one of the few areas where the Olympic Class was quickly outdated, in fact as well as numerous safety upgrades, one of the big differences with the third member of the class Britannic, was extra bathrooms for 1st and 2nd class. Even most 1st class "private" bathrooms were shared with the cabin or suit next door though, although these would usually be family members.
Well, I wish this video came out a few years ago. I boarded what I later learned was a cargo ship to get from Osaka to Shanghai with about 300 other passengers. This video could have taught me a thing or two: No food services; we needed to bring our own food. We hit a typhoon on the first evening passing Kagoshima and everyone was completely sick. I was curled up in a public space near the bow. There was a shower space -- a steel lined room where you could bathe with filtered salt water. Communal for as many as could fit. It was presumably cleaned at some point before and after the trip. After three days, we made it to our destination. Seemed many people arrived without passports were in order -- 2012 was the year major immigration reforms in Japan and it displaced a lot of people. Hope you had cash to talk to immigration at port. The major take away of this video is: The Titanic was really a luxury liner. A century of advancement cannot surpass it.
I've always been intrigued by the Titanic. This put a whole new spin on the luxury steamship. Thank you for this refreshing information! 💚 *Correction made on 12/4/2021 as I wrote "luxury cruise ship". Thank you @Ferret Man for pointing out my error. 🙏💚 Have a great day!
To think of all of the meticulous design and planning that went into making Titanic "state of the art" and yet it sank on its maiden voyage. It's a shame they didn't put that much thought into "worst case scenario" evacuation planning. Unfortunately, it usually takes a major disaster for that to happen. That's how things like fire and auto safety have evolved.
Titanic was actually a copy cat replica of the RMS Olympic That started sailing a year prior Titanic was just super unlucky But all the huge ships of that time all had the same sins
Still though, the acting captain gambled evading a head on collision which would have saved hundreds and hundreds more since it was designed to take on said scenario and float indefinitely which would make a rescue all the more costless. That’s still the problem with how people in their professions act today, instead of taking an L better in the long run they gamble that outcome and value bottom lines more than a person’s livelihood. So sad that those with the absolute worst judgment still make the damn decisions!
@@dannys942 no, I humbly state they put inexperienced sailors on the night watch and didn’t take iceberg wire warnings seriously. It was 1st mate Murdoch who was apparently 38 in charge. I had before I knew who was the boss at time of incident it was someone younger so I’m wrong there. However I suppose age here is a non factor, but with age comes experience and at 38 or 39, Lt Murdoch hadn’t the sound judgment to make the decision in a split second that was geared towards moral safety, rather dodging a bullet and almost quite literally. I’m arguing a man with great awareness and the foresight to take threats seriously would have not left any danger to chance. I’m convinced of that arrogance argument. Also, one would have to argue that pleasing higher ups was above gambling with the lives of the humble population.
"Safety Regulations are written in blood!" (Namely very few are based on "What If" and most are based on "How can we prevent this from happening again"....)
@lego - I don't think it would be as bad as you perhaps imagine. By WWI the causes of infectious disease were pretty much understood, and given that as little as half a century prior to this campaigns were losing more casualties to disease than warfare, they were pretty keen to limit this as a cause of losses. Of course, you wouldn't get your own personal Jacuzzi, but any squaddie or sailor presented with a sink & a bar of soap would/will know how to get & keep him/herself clean.
My great aunt and her brother were booked on the Titanic, emigrating to the US from England. Luckily they had to cancel because he fell ill. Unluckily, he fell ill again on the ship they'd rebooked to cross on, and died on the way over and had to be buried at sea. I've seen the ship's manifest with their names on it, which was an eerie feeling. Anyway, at least one of them made it. If they'd gone on the Titanic, who knows if neither would have lived.
I went on a trans-Atlantic cruise in 1973. I was probably in the equivalent of 3rd class. The ship had shared bathrooms and showers on each deck, so it wasn't too much different.
Obviously don’t know what ship you were on but the last 2 transatlantic “sister ships” were the Italian Line Michelangelo and Raffaello where all 3rd class cabins had private baths. And the rooms were pretty cool looking:: yellow print bedspreads (upper and lower beds of course), walnut laminate furniture, folding chairs with seats and backs of orange vinyl (!) and flooring of blue marbleized rubber (probably Pirelli). Quite cool and mod, though no portholes and on the lowest decks.
Third class was actually luxurious by the standard of the day too. It was equivalent to second class on most liners and first class on some older vessels. Third class was also not the poor destitute many imagine. Passage was roughly $500 per person one way. The standards for their class was based on immigration law at the time. At the time we did not admit diseases person's and requires immigrants to be held separately from travelers.
It was still hell, they were kept under lock and key and by percentage most of them died because they couldn't get out of the caged entryway, to call that luxurious is a travesty
you wonder how many mattress covers, pillow/duvet cases and sheets they had on board if they're changing the first class beds every day without washing the soiled ones. incredible.
I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about all things Titanic having inherited a fascination with it from my father, this video was full of information I had never heard about! well done
My great-grandmother was a factory shoe maker for many long years (her parents came here to the USA from Italy in the late 1800s through Ellis Island). The state of her hands was heartbreaking because of it. Every finger was twisted at odd angles at the knuckles, causing her daily arthritic pain (but she was a trooper and only took Tylenol to treat it). She still managed to be able to cook and such - do everything she needed to get done. I miss those hands. They were a sign of just how hard of a worker she had been in her life too. She helped run a chicken farm with her husband as well, on their own land. She was so beloved. I hope that shoe making has come a long way since then so the current folks being paid slave wages to make them aren’t going to suffer from such pain in their futures, to add insult to injury.
I do think that if you went to a cordwainer to get your shoes made specifically for you, that they would probably be better than today's off the rack shoes in comfort likened to having clothes tailor made for you. Or had elves do it, if you were kind enough to leave them cream.
Also, did anyone know that the first use of the word snob in print was used as a term for a shoemaker, or cobbler? I sure didn't. So because of this post I ended up learned a few things and I love that.
Thank you for this video. I was a teenager when the Titanic movie came out and I've been obsessed ever since. 20 years later and it's still my favorite movie. 🚢
I still recall at the time of the films release, discussing it despite it's obvious inaccuracies for the sake of box office success, during a coffee break with some younger colleagues, when an attractive voluptuous female called Emma passing by asked what we were chatting about. The conversation went like this.. " What are you lot talking about...?", Emma asked.. " Titanic, the film.." I replied... "Ooh I really want to see that.. I hear it's very good.. I really want to see it, ...but one thing I need to know.... Does it have a happy ending...?", she asked plaintively.. I replied, " Well Emma....The ship sinks and 1500 people lost their lives in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, so No..Not really.." She saunted off a little crestfallen... But what floored me a little was when one of my colleagues said.. "Oh thanks for telling me that..! No point in me going to see the film now...!". I found it simply incomprehensible that anyone could be oblivious to probably one of the most important historical events of the 20th century..!
I'd like to see a video on how people went to and watched silent movies. Were there snacks? Drinks? Did people talk during movies? Were there spoilers, etc?
I've read that it was socially acceptable to talk during silent movies and was part of the experience. It wasn't until talkies that it became frowned upon. I think snacks weren't allowed until talkies because the sound from the films could muffle the rude chewing noises.
@@plastichouseplant I wonder if it was like it is today in terms of like people feeling FOMO if they didn't see the latest Douglas Fairbanks swashbuckler, or if there was some sort of cosplay.
Wow. Titanic sure was one fancy boat ! I didn't know most of those. I'm glad that least few of those animals survived. Sharing the toilets with so many others would not been all that fun but it would not have stopped me from going on a adventure like that. Thanks 👍
It was common to share bathrooms & toilets with other occupants on a ship or a hotel back in the 1900s -1910s. In fact, the concept of each hotel room having its own ensuite bath & toilet is a fairly modern development... starting from the 1950s. In the 1900s-1910s, even in higher-end hotels, unless you got the most expensive rooms or suites, you can expect to use shared toilets & bathtubs with the other guests (although the bathroom-to-guest ratio would be better than the less expensive hotels).
@@jonathantan2469 Of course it was common back in the day. I even went to school where all the kids had to use outhouse...with several seating in one room...one room for boys and one room for girls.
Every 5 or 6 years, I go on vacation to Bavaria, Germany. I've stayed at the same place for decades, and it is a large, 17th century Bavarian farmhouse, where on the top floor they have 12 rooms, with one bathroom. The bathroom, consisting of 1 tub, 1 sink, 1 toilet, down at the end of the hall. When I go there, they are usually booked, which is somewhere around 30 to 35 guests. It is not uncommon to have to share. It's just such a beautiful place, I just deal with the inconvenience for that 7 to 10 days. But 750 and only 2 tubs? Sheesh.
I've always been fascinated by Titanic since I was really young, and that fire just relit strongly recently. This video was uploaded in perfect timing lol
@@letoubib21 Probably smoked it? @ Juci - yes, I was impressed but of course we will never know the diligence of the patrons. One of the most horrible things I recall seeing happened a few decades ago in Broadmarsh Bus Station toilets, Nottingham (UK). Whilst I was washing my hands, a man blasted out of one of the traps and went straight out of the toilets without doing what I was. When I went outside I was greeted by the sight of him pushing a pram along with his presumable wife and a gaggle of kids. Ugh!
I would like to know where all of the liquid and solid human waste went? Was it dumped into the Atlantic Ocean? Over 1,300 men, women, and children urinating and defecating every day. That’s a lot of waste.
I found out about Vinolia soap on a beauty blog about a year ago.I have been using it ever since.It has cold cream in it and has a pleasant herbal smell
Ever been to a Raiders game? You've shared a bathroom with over 700 people. Ever been to very long Springsteen concert? During a half-hour break there was a mad dash to the bathrooms. Not enough urinals. So? Four guys to a sink. Yep they were peeing in the garbage cans. Oakland coliseum "Born in the USA Tour".
What's funny is people became hygienic when it came full force because I couldn't find alcohol or bleach or any cleaning products for most of last year, especially during the beginning. These are items I buy regularly so it was weird that all of it was gone.
It's been a mixed bag. Although people became more aware of their surroundings and thus perhaps more hygienic overall, there have also been more outbreaks of depression due to isolation and just the sad reality all over the world. The internet has played a great role in both the positive aspects and negative. Unlike any other time before it.
@@letoubib21 It's like a disaster movie in real life but worse. I can't wait for the Corona movie to come out and it better be accurate. Toilet paper crisis and all. 😂😂
Everyone still aboard the ship, when it was going down, should have been given the Laudanum. Perhaps, long before it actually went down, it should have been passed out to all classes for the just in case situation. I know it probably wouldn't have been possible to reach so many people but the whole idea of what happened gives me severe anxiety for them. The helplessness, the greed, the deaths of those children, the absolutely asinine ways in which it could have been avoided... I know that I could use some Laudanum right now.
There is a big theory that it was no “accident.” There were very important men on that trip, men were trying to prevent our banking system from being destroyed/taken over by the bastards that ended getting away with doing it after secretly meeting at Jekyll Island, creating the scam Fed Res Bank.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Ya know, I wouldn't doubt it. Some things just feel like common sense in the ways that this should have been avoided. Surely there were inspections, even then.
Having been the GM of a couple of motels in a very popular tourist destination in Canada: I 100% understand the decision to give 3rd class flushing toilets. Even today, toilets in North America are quite foreign to overseas tourists. ...I've seen things, and so have my housekeepers. Egads.
In Switzerland, in the most turistic places, they need to put signs in Chinese to explain how the toilet works.... apparently some people would skip the toilet altogether and do it on the ground.
My sister often housed her husband's business colleagues from the east. They would defecate in the toilet and put the paper in a waste basket or wipe with the hand towel. She couldn't tell them because men wouldn't speak to women.
There was. Her name was Jenny. She and her kittens stuck around for a bit, but a crewman claimed she ditched the ship before her final departure for New York, thus avoiding the sinking. This isn't confirmed, however, but not that much is known about Jenny the cat.

1:08, correction; that wasn’t a room for massages, it was a COOLING ROOM. Where they could sit and cool off after the electric bath. Also the Turkish bath was only available to the first class passengers, located directly below the last landing of the grand staircase on F Deck
It's not in the Titanic only that third class passengers had to endure a thorough medical examination. They had to do it before boarding any ship, and upon landing in New York they had to do another one before being allowed to leave. Keep in mind that the third class was the one expected to have less medical care and health, and American Authorities certainly did not wanted a mob of people sick with typhus, cholera or tuberculosis entering the country. On top of that, remember that Medical treatment at the time was at best inadequate. There were no antibiotics nor vaccines widely distributed as we have today. Most of the Titanic bodies were actually recovered, only to be thrown overboard in high seas again by New York Harbour decision when they started to decompose. They were considered a health hazard if they were allowed to be disembarked.
Love anything about the titanic. I’ve been researching it since I was 7. I would love to see a video that details the living conditions and cabin layouts of each class. Not sure if this was already done. Maybe I should look first?
Have you ever heard of historic travels? He does a lot of very well made, extremely informative, well researched vids about a bunch of different topics about the titanic.
That was pretty interesting. I've never been one to want to go on a cruise at all. And no I would not want to share a bathroom or anything with other people. But this was really interesting to know how things were on a ship like that.
It sort of does make sense that perhaps they had way more toilets on the ship than bathtubs. I mean if you think about it, you probably go to the bathroom at least a few times per day, but you could go two or possibly 3 days without the need for a bath, especially if you didn't get dirty or sweaty or otherwise have b/o problems. So for some, maybe all they would need would be 2 baths (every other day) for a 5 day voyage, and while some may not agree, a bath is not exactly something you HAVE to do, however using the facilities (bathroom) you don't really have a choice. You may not die from not taking a bath in a 5-6 day period, but you may die if you can't use the bathroom or otherwise have to wait an extended period of time to relieve yourself.
Good to see that others have also pointed out the glaring inaccuracy of referring to passengers on board Titanic as "cruise" passengers, which implies that the ship was a Cruise Liner. This of course is totally wrong. The Ill-fated vessel was a "Passenger Liner" designed solely to transport people across the North Atlantic in what was at the time considerable comfort, even for 3rd or "steerage" class passengers. As such it is more appropriate to refer to them simply as passengers or perhaps as "travellers" than as "cruise" passengers..! Otherwise a fascinating look into often ignored aspects of an ocean voyage of the period..
Anyone who played the 90s video game Titanic: Adventure out of Time will get an ominous feeling at the mention of the electric bath. Poor Willie von Haderlitz.
The poor animals in the kennel :( I can’t imagine how afraid they must have been. They didn’t have a chance of survival and their owners abandoned them.
I would have brought my own Chamber Pot to use in the privacy of my room. I’ve been to concerts in modern day, where the bathroom lines were clear out the door and down the halls waiting to unused the bathrooms. I can’t hold it like I use to because I’m 71!
I went through the Titanic exhibit in Florida with a friend. You got to pick a name and see if you were a survivor. My pick drowned but my friend picked Molly Brown. She didn’t recognize the name. I had to tell her she was unsinkable 😜
"Cruises" weren't really a thing in this time period. If you were on an ocean liner in 1912, you were using it for transportation. The concept of cruising and the design changes made to the ships came later.
I am pretty sure, in hind sight, those passengers whose medical check ups denied them passage way aboard the Titanic, were thanking God that they were not allowed on that ship.
When I was at the museum I got a third class passenger who was 16 taking care of an 11 year old brother. Their father had got held up at medical check up. Both of them lived, probably because they were without their father.
7:00 Or thereabout. You do know that a first class ticket on Titanic was about $100,000 in todays money (for one of those parlor cabins anyway) so bringing along the help wasn't that out there when you think about it. Weird though regular first class cabins were about $3500. The ultra wealthy live in a different world compared to us plebs. 🤣
I apologize for the unrelated comment, but I would absolutely love to see a Weird History video about Bayocean, Oregon! The rich vacation town that was washed away by the ocean
@@TyDaWaVe People go on cruises to have fun and relax. It's a holiday. Often, the ship herself is designed to provide most of the entertainment and the stay aboard the ship is the destination. A transatlantic crossing was basically the same as what one does when boarding an airplane from New York to London, but on the seas. They were meant as the form of travel with some comforts to keep you occupied, but your reason for being aboard a liner like Olympic, Lusitania, or Titanic was to get to your destination and nothing more. For example, Disney Magic is a cruise ship. You book a ticket aboard her for a week of fun for you and your family. Then, when the week has passed, the ship takes you back to the port where you boarded her and you go home. If you booked a ticket on Titanic's sister, Olympic, you would board Olympic at one of her port of calls, but let's say you board at Southampton. You get on board, find your cabin, and throughout the week, you bide your time with a card game, some music in the lounge, and dinner in the dining saloon. You may have friends on board on business, or, if you're third class, you're among hundreds of other families from around the old world on their way to the Americas for a new life. All of you are eager to make it to New York so you can get on with your lives. When Olympic arrives at the White Star berth in New York, you are pleased you had a pleasant crossing, but now you can get on to whatever business you had to attend to in America. If you plan to return to England, you might need to book a ticket aboard Cunard's RMS Mauretania because Olympic was unavailable.

Titanic had such few baths (only 4 total totally private bath onboard and dozens of public baths) because people generally took baths once a week, and it only took 5 days to cross the Atlantic.
For those curious the private baths were the captains, the chief engineers, and 1st class cabins A-36 and A-37.
True. But it's important to point out that in between baths, people regularly washed themselves down at the very least with a basin of water and soap.
The baths were built so well, they're still full of water even till this day

The most basic instruction needed is how to wash hands. Some people just love their potty fingers and hate water.

5:15 The loss of Catherine Wallis is the reason why so many public restrooms are so gross.
A little less hygiene and a few more lifeboats probably would have been appreciated by the passengers. Great video.
You have to consider White Star put more lifeboats on their ships than they were required by law at this time.
@@styldsteel1 thank you, it's rare to meet someone who acknowledges that. Also even if there were more lifeboats it likely wouldn't make much difference as the ship went down too fast, even the 2 last lifeboats weren't released but just floated away when the deck started flooding.
Even the 3rd class got 3 courses
On day one the passengers of that class left after the soup and had to be called back for the other 2 courses cause they expected the soup to be the only course
Thank you for that info….I am a Titanic buff and I never knew that….many blessings!!

All the animals that didn’t make it were certainly freaking out
The lack of private bathrooms even for most first class passengers, was one of the few areas where the Olympic Class was quickly outdated, in fact as well as numerous safety upgrades, one of the big differences with the third member of the class Britannic, was extra bathrooms for 1st and 2nd class. Even most 1st class "private" bathrooms were shared with the cabin or suit next door though, although these would usually be family members.

Well, I wish this video came out a few years ago. I boarded what I later learned was a cargo ship to get from Osaka to Shanghai with about 300 other passengers. This video could have taught me a thing or two: No food services; we needed to bring our own food. We hit a typhoon on the first evening passing Kagoshima and everyone was completely sick. I was curled up in a public space near the bow. There was a shower space -- a steel lined room where you could bathe with filtered salt water. Communal for as many as could fit. It was presumably cleaned at some point before and after the trip. After three days, we made it to our destination. Seemed many people arrived without passports were in order -- 2012 was the year major immigration reforms in Japan and it displaced a lot of people. Hope you had cash to talk to immigration at port. The major take away of this video is: The Titanic was really a luxury liner. A century of advancement cannot surpass it.

No one had to bring food with them on Titanic. The food was included with the Ticket price

To think of all of the meticulous design and planning that went into making Titanic "state of the art" and yet it sank on its maiden voyage. It's a shame they didn't put that much thought into "worst case scenario" evacuation planning. Unfortunately, it usually takes a major disaster for that to happen. That's how things like fire and auto safety have evolved.
Titanic was actually a copy cat replica of the RMS Olympic
That started sailing a year prior
Titanic was just super unlucky
But all the huge ships of that time all had the same sins
Also, her steel was an issue.
Still though, the acting captain gambled evading a head on collision which would have saved hundreds and hundreds more since it was designed to take on said scenario and float indefinitely which would make a rescue all the more costless. That’s still the problem with how people in their professions act today, instead of taking an L better in the long run they gamble that outcome and value bottom lines more than a person’s livelihood. So sad that those with the absolute worst judgment still make the damn decisions!
@@dannys942 no, I humbly state they put inexperienced sailors on the night watch and didn’t take iceberg wire warnings seriously. It was 1st mate Murdoch who was apparently 38 in charge. I had before I knew who was the boss at time of incident it was someone younger so I’m wrong there. However I suppose age here is a non factor, but with age comes experience and at 38 or 39, Lt Murdoch hadn’t the sound judgment to make the decision in a split second that was geared towards moral safety, rather dodging a bullet and almost quite literally. I’m arguing a man with great awareness and the foresight to take threats seriously would have not left any danger to chance. I’m convinced of that arrogance argument. Also, one would have to argue that pleasing higher ups was above gambling with the lives of the humble population.

I could literally smell that suggestion of video
Buddy up! You get my back I'll get yours goes for the field and the bathroom. ;) Lol
easy, there were no hygiene..... you do your duty and you home to take a piss.
@lego - I don't think it would be as bad as you perhaps imagine. By WWI the causes of infectious disease were pretty much understood, and given that as little as half a century prior to this campaigns were losing more casualties to disease than warfare, they were pretty keen to limit this as a cause of losses.
Of course, you wouldn't get your own personal Jacuzzi, but any squaddie or sailor presented with a sink & a bar of soap would/will know how to get & keep him/herself clean.
Me too!
My great aunt and her brother were booked on the Titanic, emigrating to the US from England. Luckily they had to cancel because he fell ill. Unluckily, he fell ill again on the ship they'd rebooked to cross on, and died on the way over and had to be buried at sea. I've seen the ship's manifest with their names on it, which was an eerie feeling. Anyway, at least one of them made it. If they'd gone on the Titanic, who knows if neither would have lived.
I went on a trans-Atlantic cruise in 1973. I was probably in the equivalent of 3rd class. The ship had shared bathrooms and showers on each deck, so it wasn't too much different.
Obviously don’t know what ship you were on but the last 2 transatlantic “sister ships” were the Italian Line Michelangelo and Raffaello where all 3rd class cabins had private baths. And the rooms were pretty cool looking:: yellow print bedspreads (upper and lower beds of course), walnut laminate furniture, folding chairs with seats and backs of orange vinyl (!) and flooring of blue marbleized rubber (probably Pirelli). Quite cool and mod, though no portholes and on the lowest decks.
Michelangelo and Raffaello came out in 1965.
Oh the horror
I lived that way and got paid for it and got to see some of the world. U.S Navy
Third class was actually luxurious by the standard of the day too. It was equivalent to second class on most liners and first class on some older vessels. Third class was also not the poor destitute many imagine. Passage was roughly $500 per person one way. The standards for their class was based on immigration law at the time. At the time we did not admit diseases person's and requires immigrants to be held separately from travelers.
Lol 3rd class on the Titanic was much better than coach class on all airlines today 😅
Good thing they only paid for one way.
It was still hell, they were kept under lock and key and by percentage most of them died because they couldn't get out of the caged entryway, to call that luxurious is a travesty
@@emilymulcahy Yeah, that's not true. They weren't locked below. You could get to the grand staircase from Scotland Road.

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about all things Titanic having inherited a fascination with it from my father, this video was full of information I had never heard about! well done
It's not relevant to the titanic or hygiene, but can yall do a history of shoes? I can't imagine they were comfortable until only recently
My great-grandmother was a factory shoe maker for many long years (her parents came here to the USA from Italy in the late 1800s through Ellis Island). The state of her hands was heartbreaking because of it. Every finger was twisted at odd angles at the knuckles, causing her daily arthritic pain (but she was a trooper and only took Tylenol to treat it).
She still managed to be able to cook and such - do everything she needed to get done. I miss those hands. They were a sign of just how hard of a worker she had been in her life too. She helped run a chicken farm with her husband as well, on their own land. She was so beloved.
I hope that shoe making has come a long way since then so the current folks being paid slave wages to make them aren’t going to suffer from such pain in their futures, to add insult to injury.
Yes I'd watch this
Yes, a history on shoes would be very interesting.
I do think that if you went to a cordwainer to get your shoes made specifically for you, that they would probably be better than today's off the rack shoes in comfort likened to having clothes tailor made for you. Or had elves do it, if you were kind enough to leave them cream.
Also, did anyone know that the first use of the word snob in print was used as a term for a shoemaker, or cobbler? I sure didn't. So because of this post I ended up learned a few things and I love that.
Excuse me, have you ever seen a cat sleep? And have you no heart to see how adorable that sight is? :P
Thank you for this video. I was a teenager when the Titanic movie came out and I've been obsessed ever since. 20 years later and it's still my favorite movie. 🚢
I still recall at the time of the films release, discussing it despite it's obvious inaccuracies for the sake of box office success, during a coffee break with some younger colleagues, when an attractive voluptuous female called Emma passing by asked what we were chatting about. The conversation went like this..
" What are you lot talking about...?", Emma asked..
" Titanic, the film.." I replied...
"Ooh I really want to see that.. I hear it's very good.. I really want to see it, ...but one thing I need to know....
Does it have a happy ending...?", she asked plaintively..
I replied, " Well Emma....The ship sinks and 1500 people lost their lives in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, so No..Not really.."
She saunted off a little crestfallen... But what floored me a little was when one of my colleagues said..
"Oh thanks for telling me that..! No point in me going to see the film now...!".
I found it simply incomprehensible that anyone could be oblivious to probably one of the most important historical events of the 20th century..!
I'd like to see a video on how people went to and watched silent movies. Were there snacks? Drinks? Did people talk during movies? Were there spoilers, etc?
I've read that it was socially acceptable to talk during silent movies and was part of the experience. It wasn't until talkies that it became frowned upon. I think snacks weren't allowed until talkies because the sound from the films could muffle the rude chewing noises.
@@plastichouseplant I wonder if it was like it is today in terms of like people feeling FOMO if they didn't see the latest Douglas Fairbanks swashbuckler, or if there was some sort of cosplay.
Whenever there was a lip reader in the audience, people would ask them to repeat the dialogue out loud.
Wow. Titanic sure was one fancy boat ! I didn't know most of those. I'm glad that least few of those animals survived. Sharing the toilets with so many others would not been all that fun but it would not have stopped me from going on a adventure like that. Thanks 👍
It was common to share bathrooms & toilets with other occupants on a ship or a hotel back in the 1900s -1910s.
In fact, the concept of each hotel room having its own ensuite bath & toilet is a fairly modern development... starting from the 1950s. In the 1900s-1910s, even in higher-end hotels, unless you got the most expensive rooms or suites, you can expect to use shared toilets & bathtubs with the other guests (although the bathroom-to-guest ratio would be better than the less expensive hotels).
@@jonathantan2469 Of course it was common back in the day. I even went to school where all the kids had to use outhouse...with several seating in one room...one room for boys and one room for girls.
A company made toy Titanics, but they weren't meant to be used in bathtubs.
They were made for the sink.

Every 5 or 6 years, I go on vacation to Bavaria, Germany.
I've stayed at the same place for decades, and it is a large, 17th century Bavarian farmhouse, where on the top floor they have 12 rooms, with one bathroom. The bathroom, consisting of
1 tub, 1 sink, 1 toilet, down at the end of the hall. When I go there, they are usually booked, which is somewhere around 30 to 35 guests.
It is not uncommon to have to share.
It's just such a beautiful place, I just deal with the inconvenience for that 7 to 10 days.
But 750 and only 2 tubs? Sheesh.

@ Juci - yes, I was impressed but of course we will never know the diligence of the patrons. One of the most horrible things I recall seeing happened a few decades ago in Broadmarsh Bus Station toilets, Nottingham (UK).

When I went outside I was greeted by the sight of him pushing a pram along with his presumable wife and a gaggle of kids.
Ugh!
I would like to know where all of the liquid and solid human waste went? Was it dumped into the Atlantic Ocean? Over 1,300 men, women, and children urinating and defecating every day. That’s a lot of waste.

Not enough urinals. So? Four guys to a sink. Yep they were peeing in the garbage cans. Oakland coliseum "Born in the USA Tour".
Weird history in the future: what hygiene was like during the coronavirus times
What's funny is people became hygienic when it came full force because I couldn't find alcohol or bleach or any cleaning products for most of last year, especially during the beginning. These are items I buy regularly so it was weird that all of it was gone.
@@babygfeva Nearly forgotten that queer toilet paper crises of spring 2020. Pasta, rice, yeast, and toilet paper, what a strange diet that was *. . .*
It's been a mixed bag.

Everyone still aboard the ship, when it was going down, should have been given the Laudanum. Perhaps, long before it actually went down, it should have been passed out to all classes for the just in case situation. I know it probably wouldn't have been possible to reach so many people but the whole idea of what happened gives me severe anxiety for them. The helplessness, the greed, the deaths of those children, the absolutely asinine ways in which it could have been avoided...
I know that I could use some Laudanum right now.
There is a big theory that it was no “accident.” There were very important men on that trip, men were trying to prevent our banking system from being destroyed/taken over by the bastards that ended getting away with doing it after secretly meeting at Jekyll Island, creating the scam Fed Res Bank.

Today we have much better stuff than such an alchemist's mixture *. . .*
Having been the GM of a couple of motels in a very popular tourist destination in Canada: I 100% understand the decision to give 3rd class flushing toilets. Even today, toilets in North America are quite foreign to overseas tourists. ...I've seen things, and so have my housekeepers. Egads.
In Switzerland, in the most turistic places, they need to put signs in Chinese to explain how the toilet works.... apparently some people would skip the toilet altogether and do it on the ground.
My sister often housed her husband's business colleagues from the east. They would defecate in the toilet and put the paper in a waste basket or wipe with the hand towel. She couldn't tell them because men wouldn't speak to women.
I’ve always noticed they have automatic toilets in airports and now I know why. I think all public toilets should be this way.
Cats were always taken onboard for good luck, but apparently and what I gathered there was no cat on the Titanic...
There was at least one.
There was. Her name was Jenny. She and her kittens stuck around for a bit, but a crewman claimed she ditched the ship before her final departure for New York, thus avoiding the sinking. This isn't confirmed, however, but not that much is known about Jenny the cat.

1:08, correction; that wasn’t a room for massages, it was a COOLING ROOM. Where they could sit and cool off after the electric bath. Also the Turkish bath was only available to the first class passengers, located directly below the last landing of the grand staircase on F Deck
Have always wondered. What exactly is a Turkish bath - was it a fad at the time or related to the Middle Eastern craze going on then.
It's not in the Titanic only that third class passengers had to endure a thorough medical examination. They had to do it before boarding any ship, and upon landing in New York they had to do another one before being allowed to leave. Keep in mind that the third class was the one expected to have less medical care and health, and American Authorities certainly did not wanted a mob of people sick with typhus, cholera or tuberculosis entering the country. On top of that, remember that Medical treatment at the time was at best inadequate. There were no antibiotics nor vaccines widely distributed as we have today. Most of the Titanic bodies were actually recovered, only to be thrown overboard in high seas again by New York Harbour decision when they started to decompose. They were considered a health hazard if they were allowed to be disembarked.
Love anything about the titanic. I’ve been researching it since I was 7. I would love to see a video that details the living conditions and cabin layouts of each class. Not sure if this was already done. Maybe I should look first?

Me too, that is a fascinating story
That was pretty interesting. I've never been one to want to go on a cruise at all. And no I would not want to share a bathroom or anything with other people. But this was really interesting to know how things were on a ship like that.
Cruises are nice. Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself
Believe me, if I had been on the Titanic that night my drawers would NOT have been clean, regardless of the facilities.
You know when it was all said and done, the lobsters on board was like "check out this sh#%"
It sort of does make sense that perhaps they had way more toilets on the ship than bathtubs. I mean if you think about it, you probably go to the bathroom at least a few times per day, but you could go two or possibly 3 days without the need for a bath, especially if you didn't get dirty or sweaty or otherwise have b/o problems. So for some, maybe all they would need would be 2 baths (every other day) for a 5 day voyage, and while some may not agree, a bath is not exactly something you HAVE to do, however using the facilities (bathroom) you don't really have a choice. You may not die from not taking a bath in a 5-6 day period, but you may die if you can't use the bathroom or otherwise have to wait an extended period of time to relieve yourself.
Oh the horror
Thank you for this video ! 😊🌻
Never considered this; thanks for the insight.
Good to see that others have also pointed out the glaring inaccuracy of referring to passengers on board Titanic as "cruise" passengers, which implies that the ship was a Cruise Liner. This of course is totally wrong. The Ill-fated vessel was a "Passenger
Liner" designed solely to transport people across the North Atlantic in what was at the time considerable comfort, even for 3rd or "steerage" class passengers. As such it is more appropriate to refer to them simply as passengers or perhaps as "travellers" than as "cruise" passengers..! Otherwise a fascinating look into often ignored aspects of an ocean voyage of the period..
Anyone who played the 90s video game Titanic: Adventure out of Time will get an ominous feeling at the mention of the electric bath. Poor Willie von Haderlitz.
It’s fascinating to learn about the 1st and 2nd class passengers and what companies and types of businesses they were/are tied to.

The poor animals in the kennel :( I can’t imagine how afraid they must have been. They didn’t have a chance of survival and their owners abandoned them.

One female passenger was seen floating frozen to death, holding her dog in her arms.
One woman snuck her 2 small dogs onto the life boat she was on. No one noticed and they were the only dogs to survive.
There was a woman who refused to get in her lifeboat without her furry friend and sunk with the ship because she couldn’t live with her dog.

"Cruises" weren't really a thing in this time period. If you were on an ocean liner in 1912, you were using it for transportation. The concept of cruising and the design changes made to the ships came later.

I am pretty sure, in hind sight, those passengers whose medical check ups denied them passage way aboard the Titanic, were thanking God that they were not allowed on that ship.
When I was at the museum I got a third class passenger who was 16 taking care of an 11 year old brother. Their father had got held up at medical check up. Both of them lived, probably because they were without their father.

They had all that hygiene yet, in 2020 people had to be told how to wash their hands. We have progressed backwards.
Bring the 3rd world in, become the 3rd world. It's happening.
7:00 Or thereabout. You do know that a first class ticket on Titanic was about $100,000 in todays money (for one of those parlor cabins anyway) so bringing along the help wasn't that out there when you think about it. Weird though regular first class cabins were about $3500. The ultra wealthy live in a different world compared to us plebs. 🤣
I would have shoved that cat in my coat and threatened to fight anyone who tried to stop me. I was not prepared to hear about the animals. 😭😫🐱💔
Yes. That part actually hurt. Never thought about that before. 😒😟
It upset me to hear about the animals as well.
I apologize for the unrelated comment, but I would absolutely love to see a Weird History video about Bayocean, Oregon! The rich vacation town that was washed away by the ocean
You keep calling it a cruise. It wasn't a cruise, it was transatlantic voyage.
Do you mind explaining to a stranger on the internet the difference?
@@TyDaWaVe People go on cruises to have fun and relax. It's a holiday. Often, the ship herself is designed to provide most of the entertainment and the stay aboard the ship is the destination.
A transatlantic crossing was basically the same as what one does when boarding an airplane from New York to London, but on the seas. They were meant as the form of travel with some comforts to keep you occupied, but your reason for being aboard a liner like Olympic, Lusitania, or Titanic was to get to your destination and nothing more.
For example, Disney Magic is a cruise ship. You book a ticket aboard her for a week of fun for you and your family. Then, when the week has passed, the ship takes you back to the port where you boarded her and you go home.
If you booked a ticket on Titanic's sister, Olympic, you would board Olympic at one of her port of calls, but let's say you board at Southampton. You get on board, find your cabin, and throughout the week, you bide your time with a card game, some music in the lounge, and dinner in the dining saloon. You may have friends on board on business, or, if you're third class, you're among hundreds of other families from around the old world on their way to the Americas for a new life. All of you are eager to make it to New York so you can get on with your lives. When Olympic arrives at the White Star berth in New York, you are pleased you had a pleasant crossing, but now you can get on to whatever business you had to attend to in America. If you plan to return to England, you might need to book a ticket aboard Cunard's RMS Mauretania because Olympic was unavailable.
@@SaraRoseVaughan Just wanted to say, I have been reading the comments and replies I am really impressed by your knowledge and ability to share/explain that knowledge.
Neither here nor there, I know, but thank you.
I think it was only the Trans part
Toilet instructor sounds like the worst job ever.
