The fate of the Titanic is well known, but there's so much to the ship's story that isn't always covered. What intrigues you the most about the Titanic?
The Coal fire occurring and damaging the watertight bulkhead and in the same area that the Iceberg hit. The coal fire would have burned hot enough to damage the steel and a photo has turned up that verifies the external damage which means the owners knew about it and are fully complicit in the sinking. Officer Lighttower took a secret to his grave that his family recently divulged. In essence, the bridge crew steering the ship in the wrong direction then realized it and swung the ship the other way but it was too late. Even if the ship had enough lifeboats they would not have been able to get everyone off the ship. James Cameron estimates that it took some 15 minutes to get the boats loaded and into the water, so without more crew they would and did run out of time (Two lifeboats did not get properly deployed as the ship sunk). Since two lifeboats did not get deployed the ship sunk faster than the limited number lifeboats they had could be deployed.
My grandmother had lived in New York at the time, and was 12 years old when Titanic went down. When she was about 80 years old, I asked her what was the first big historical event she could remember in her life. Without hesitation, she said the Titanic. She said that was big news in New York, and that even as a child, she remembered it very well.
My great-grandmother was also 12 years old at the time the Titanic went down. She died in 2002 at the age of 102 and she was also able to remember the event well. As she lived in Australia, it was actually several days before they heard about it and initial reports were that everyone had been saved, and the Australian public were horrified when it finally became clear how many people had died. Her own father was a bible-thumping Scots Presbyterian and used to rant about how it was God's judgement on the shipowners for saying it was unsinkable.
I was 9 when 9/11 happened and I can tell you I remember that very well. Mean teacher reduced too tears all them in the hallway crying laments coming too pick us up at school while watching it on TV.
Brexxx well, that’s one way to look at it. Another is that maybe it saved thousands of people because of the new safety measures and laws given because of this tragedy. Same happened with airplane flights. Accidents happened, people died, but it saved hundreds because of the new safety measures.
I had a family member that nearly got on the titanic, but was pregnant and was throwing up a lot so they didn’t let her on board the ship, it was about 5 days she got on another boat to take to Newfoundland. I still get goose bumps just thinking about it
It was common for ships that time...lifeboats are only intended to ferry passengers to rescue ships...20 lifeboats is more than enough than what laws intended that time
It wasn’t cut the titanic actually had more lifeboats then was legally required and more then the time periods regulations lifeboats at the time were used to ferry people to rescue ships not keep them a float in the mid Atlantic
You forgot to mention that a lot of the Titanic's passengers were actually meant to be on other ships, but were diverted to the Titanic because of a coal strike.
Nah, there were plenty of films, documentaries and TV series before the 1997 movie, people are obsessed with Titanic because of its tragic fate. The 1997 movie is popular only due to its presentation and accompanying love story.
People actually forgot the titanic tragedy because of the world wars. The reason the the titanic got remembered again is because the movie and book "a night to remember"
You'll probably find that most people throughout the world have the same problem, because most educational type programs from the states use their measurements, which as we know, have to be different from the rest.
The spotters indeed saw the iceberg, but what is not told here is that the crew member responsible for steering at that moment (the captain was asleep) tried to avoid it, only making it worse. If hit just hit the front, only one or 2 compartments would fill with water. Now it was ripped in much more compartments, making the flow of water inside the ship much worse, eventually leading it to sink.
@@skab123 I think what Jonathan was trying to say was that if the crew member (whether captain or somebody else) didn't try to steer the ship away from the iceberg and it was a direct hit to the front that the tragedy wouldn't have happened. Yet, the same amount of damage would have been done to the ship even if it struck the iceberg head on. It still would have been a tragedy. The compartments would have still filled with water.
They could have saved at least another 600 people if they had properly loaded the 20 lifeboats which were available to them. 600 people died needlessly due to careless handling of the crew.
Captain Smith and Mr Andrews did actually call for the underoccupied lifeboats to come back, through a megaphone. They called for them to come back and eventually gave up about 10 minutes before the ship sank. Of course, none of the lifeboats returned to the titanic.
It's not that the crew was carless. The passengers didn't know the ship was sinking at first and refused to get into the lifeboats. Then the refusal and suspicion turned into panic as people realized the ship was sinking, but most of the lifeboats had been lowered at that time.
Great loss and tragedy in the history of modern cruise ships. Maybe a little too late but congratulations to the National Geographic team that found the final resting place to The Titanic. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.
Is it just me, or is two years too short of a time to build a large fancy ship like Titanic?? Even back then? One of the other reasons she must’ve sank🙁
They also required lifeboat drills which Captain Smith canceled. It was scheduled for the morning of April 14, 1912. Since the officers had not been trained in how to lower the lifeboats, it was chaos that night and the reason they didn't fill all lifeboats to capacity
1st, non of the ships designers claimed she was unsinkable, one of them stated that due to her compartmented design and double bottom, she was "practically unsinkable" which to most damage that normally befalled ships, she was. 2nd, the ships designers did not cut down the number of lifeboats, she actually had more life boats than were legally required. The laws that decided this were updated just 2 years before the Titanic sank. The reason they were not required to have enough boats for all on board was because the boats were only ever intended to ferry passengers from the sinking ship to a rescue ship. Not to support everyone on the ship floating in the ocean for hours. 3rd The reason the lifeboats were lowered half full was because the Californian was believed by the passengers and crew to be on her way to save them, she was only 10 miles from the Titanic when she sunk, they could see each other, so the crew decided that filling the boats to capacity wasn't important because help was right there. However, despite 8 distress rockets being fired and attempting to contact the ship via Morse lamp, the Californian never responded, and watched as the ship sink. I honestly expected better from natgeo but they basically just recited the 1997 movies version of events.
Actually,The reasons why the lifeboats were lowered half full is because either they were scared the lifeboats would break or that there were no more women and children.
I've read many articles claiming that they only cared about 1st class, and rescued only 1st class passengers, someone claimed that some lifeboats weren't even at half the maximum capacity and that 1st class passengers wouldn't share the lifeboat with 2nd and 3rd class (working class)
Assalam alaikum, i think the reason behind the titanic tragedy is arrogance. Because if they thought that this boat is unsinkable, the GOD proved them wrong. Because nothing is for forever. So thinking nothing can destroy it, is a pride. And GOD doesn’t like arrogant people.
It’s important to remember that titanic barely launched all the lifeboats it did have, with the last lifeboat literally floating off the deck of the titanic during its plunge, doubling or tripling the number of lifeboats wouldn’t necessarily double or triple the number of people saved
Correct. Out of 20 lifeboats only 18 were successfully launched. It wasn’t easy to launch one took long time, so even if Titanic carried 40 lifeboats they still wouldn’t be able to save everybody in time before the ship sank.
Titanic Crew: Even God himself cannot sink this ship. God: Hold my Hostia Lesson to learn: Never speak to God like that. With God, anything is possible.
I learned everything about the Titanic. And the full name is RMS Titanic. And RMS stands for Royal Mail Ship. The RMS Titanic started building in March 31, 1909. And the RMS Titanic has launched in May 31, 1911. And the RMS Titanic sunk due to a iceberg in April 14, 1912. And it sank in April 15, 1912. When it tried to get to New York City, it never makes it. And the RMS Lusitania sunk due to a torpedo attack by the germans in World War I. And the HMHS Britannic sunk from hitting a mine. Also in World War I. And the RMS Olympic has survived and never sank. And it got scrapped in 1935 and got upgraded to a new ship. And the RMS Titanic is from May 31, 1911 to April 15, 1912. And the RMS Carpathia has came to rescue all of the over 700 survivors in the North Atlantic Ocean.
If you were living in that era, you would see that science, technology and minds were primitive, simple and basic then. Don't compare it with the capability today.
Part of the issue with the life boats is that at that time there were well documented cases of the life boats being unsafe. Life boats on ships would often sink or capsize out in open water. So one of the reasons the lifeboats were not full is passengers not trusting them. The woman and children was a miscommunication, while officers were told women and children first, if there wasn’t any present then they could load anyone but the command was miss interpreted. Tests have been done using the davit system the titanic had, and even it the ship had enough life boats there wouldn’t have been enough time to launch them all, and the last 2 that night were floated off.
What I got out of this was the fact that you agreed with the fact that the Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats. I would love to read the statistics on life boats being unsafe during that time. Something from a reputable website and not from a conspiracy theorist's, either.
It's pretty clear that the biggest issue was unsafe, tiny doors. Had they been bigger.. maybe more people would have survived.. I mean, providing any rich hussies can stop professing her love to a lower deck artist long enough to scoot over like... 3 inches, tops ... and let him climb on.
So... RMS Carpathia arrived 'just' over an hour after the ship snaps in two? Why did "Titanic (1997)" make it seem to be several hours before it arrived? Typical Hollywood stuff, maybe???
And how about the lack of training for emergency procedures and preparation. Like giving ALL passengers an easy access to emergency doors, etc. especially the 3rd class passengers who were only trapped cause they didn’t know where to go and gates were locked (whether that’s true or not, I’m not sure).
@@amylee8969 I've been researching the past couple of weeks, and I've seen a couple comments from people stating that the locking of gates and trapping people didn't actually happen. Though, I agree with your comment in regards to training.
I’m sorry, but it’s not acceptable for a well-funded media company like Nat Geo to produce a video or documentary about a ship and use pictures of totally different ships. I understand if there aren’t many pictures of a particular ship and you instead use pictures of a similar ship. But 1) there are innumerable pictures of the Olympic class ships and 2) even if there weren’t, don’t use pictures of 3-funneled ships which anyone can recognize as being different from 4-funneled ships.
Cutting the Lifeboat number in half just to make the decks love clean and elegant is wrong. Titanic had more than the law required at the time which was 16 lifeboats. It wasn't due to arrogance over safety it was just outdated maritime law.
Actually all of that people could save if they properly utilitize the life boat and throw away the door, table, window and some heavy furniture to keep them from cold water. Also by opening the door for poor people so they have a chances to escape.
I've been intrigued with the Titanic ever since I was just a small child. I recall asking my great-grandmother's brother if he could remember the Titanic, he said well I was about 6 years old when it sunk! I think the parts that intrigue me the most is the shear magnitude of the ship, and the shear stupidity of the boats Captain and boats architects.
A bit of misinformation in this video, ultimately the number lifeboats was not reduced to 'make the deck space less cluttered' simply at the time of her construction regulations regarding the number of life boats per vessel was based on the vessels tonnage not passenger occupancy. Titanic actually had two additional life boats more than what she legally needed to carry.
Hate to be "that guy" but the lookout was up in the mast and not on the bow of the ship and the Titanic split between the 3rd and 4th funnels instead of between 2 and 3.
No, recently they found that the break location was actually between the second and third funnel, or under the third funnel base. I think they explain this in James Cameron's 'Titanic the final word' documentary.
Agreed; and much of the area between the second and third funnels broke into pieces. Also, @Toolsquatch: "that guy" usually has a good point to make (and you did! I saw your comment before I saw the little figure of the lookout standing at the tip of the bow instead of up in the crow's nest and I had to laugh).
Many aspects to this. One of them is that people could not believe that the ship they were told as unsinkable would actually sink! They were resisting to leave the Titanic. Also there was fear of coming down over the ocean in a small boat. The lifeboats launched off the board initially were not filled upto the capacity mainly because of this reason.
The ship was 269 meters. Not 266. The lookout crew were on the crows nest. Not on the bow. The distress signals weren't sent from the middle of the ship as the animation shows. One life boat only had 12 passengers. Far less than the 28 this video pointed out.
Safety should have been first priority. More life boats, survival boat testing and critical radio communication between deck staff. Only if these factors worked to full effect, this sadness could have been avoided. RIP to the people who died that night.
Rose, Ruth, Cal, Jack, the Valet, Trudy... Etc were fictional characters, the movie director admitted it. The interiors were very inaccurate and the sinking was too.
When are y’all going to update the information in this video and it’s description, to include the new information which was uncovered about the massive coal fire that was responsible for the Titanic’s sinking, and pretty much all the decisions made during and shortly before she set sail?
Even if they had enough lifeboats there would still been a substantial amount of deaths considering everyone class 3 werent allowed up to the decks where the lifeboats were.
@@gabrielalvarado7849 It wasn't exactly false, it was based on some survivior's memories. The problem was that Titanic had many corridors, passages and stairs and not every was opened, so third class had it harder to exit their deck because it was lower and deeper in the ship. But it's true that there was no "preventing" third class passengers to rescue themselves.
Wasn't the ships compartment walls not actually built up to the ceiling, so when it began taking on water it would just fill up to the top and spill over into the next section?
They did not "cut" the number of lifeboats. The ship was actually carrying more than was legally required for a ship of that size and weight. At that time the number of lifeboats on a ship was determined by the tonnage of the ship NOT by how many people the ship could carry. It's also been proven that having binoculars would not have made a difference because the use of binoculars limits a person's range of vision so to see as much of the horizon as possible they would not have used the binoculars until AFTER the iceberg was spotted which would have been to late. Also, because of a minor error in determining the position of the ship 2 days before the collision that was never corrected when they sent the distress signal they gave the wrong coordinates so even if The Californian had heard the call they would have gone to the wrong lication and would not have found anything. The Carpathia only found the survivors because one of the lifeboats sent up a flair hoping to be able to see if a rescue ship was in sight.
LouisNU technically it’s both. It’s like how a square is a rectangle but not the other way around. So the largest ship of its time would also be one of the largest ships of its time, the latter is just less specific

It's pretty clear that the biggest issue was unsafe, tiny doors. Had they been bigger.. maybe more people would have survived.. I mean, providing any rich hussies can stop professing her love to a lower deck artist long enough to scoot over like... 3 inches, tops ... and let him climb on.
I love Titanic ❤ Love from Nepal ❤️
The iceberg be like “scrue you all y’all dying tonight”
01:15 - not Titanic. It doesn’t even have four funnels.
So... RMS Carpathia arrived 'just' over an hour after the ship snaps in two? Why did "Titanic (1997)" make it seem to be several hours before it arrived? Typical Hollywood stuff, maybe???
Tica811 imagine how long an hour would feel when your freezing to death in water...
Rose would have frozen to death if it took longer than that.
Lol
The first lifeboats were picked up an hour after it sunk, but some were picked up later in the morning.
Tica811 i never thought of that good point 👌
Where there any lawsuits???

bigsmilie07 no
@@bigsmilie07 It's just misspelled, what's wrong with that? And also, you doesn't have a foot stop.
bigsmilie07 in 1912? Yeah right
the person who made a terrible decision to cut the number of lifeboats in half *must* have been regretful and carried it along their grave.
And how about the lack of training for emergency procedures and preparation. Like giving ALL passengers an easy access to emergency doors, etc. especially the 3rd class passengers who were only trapped cause they didn’t know where to go and gates were locked (whether that’s true or not, I’m not sure).
@@amylee8969 I've been researching the past couple of weeks, and I've seen a couple comments from people stating that the locking of gates and trapping people didn't actually happen. Though, I agree with your comment in regards to training.
LOL wut? What source did you read that they cut the lifeboat count in half? It was built with more than the required amount of boats at that time.
Titanic “I’m unsinkable”
Ocean “ hold my salt”
I would have laughed my head off if the diagram had shown two people pretending to fly on the bow. lol
😂😂😂
I’m sorry, but it’s not acceptable for a well-funded media company like Nat Geo to produce a video or documentary about a ship and use pictures of totally different ships. I understand if there aren’t many pictures of a particular ship and you instead use pictures of a similar ship. But 1) there are innumerable pictures of the Olympic class ships and 2) even if there weren’t, don’t use pictures of 3-funneled ships which anyone can recognize as being different from 4-funneled ships.
Cutting the Lifeboat number in half just to make the decks love clean and elegant is wrong. Titanic had more than the law required at the time which was 16 lifeboats. It wasn't due to arrogance over safety it was just outdated maritime law.
Titanic: I've special features which makes me unsinkable
Iceberg: *MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA*
Titanic: I am unsinkable
Ocean: Hold my iceberg
When it hit the iceberg you said it hit the right side. That’s correct but why didn’t you just say starboard?
Not everyone knows what it means
4:02 well you dont need that anymore :(
That’s what the government wants you to think.
Actually all of that people could save if they properly utilitize the life boat and throw away the door, table, window and some heavy furniture to keep them from cold water.
Also by opening the door for poor people so they have a chances to escape.
Exactly ..The same thing I was thinking about.
You are the girl with good heart.
Sounds good...👍
The lower class being locked below decks was used for dramatic purposes for the movie and was actually not the case.
Imagine if Titanic was still sailing today 😥
Advanced technology would prevent a collision a lot bette than handheld binoculars.
I've been intrigued with the Titanic ever since I was just a small child. I recall asking my great-grandmother's brother if he could remember the Titanic, he said well I was about 6 years old when it sunk! I think the parts that intrigue me the most is the shear magnitude of the ship, and the shear stupidity of the boats Captain and boats architects.
What a soothing voice narrator has
The photo at 1:14 is a ship with only 3 smoke stacks. Titanic had 4
She was actually carrying over the legally required number lifeboats, at the time the laws required number of boats on tonnage.
They also did test’s using the davit system the titanic had and came to the conclusion that they wouldn’t have had enough time to deploy them all.
4:09 Jack Phillips the hero
He was. He died, but the younger wireless operator, Harold Bride, survived.
A bit of misinformation in this video, ultimately the number lifeboats was not reduced to 'make the deck space less cluttered' simply at the time of her construction regulations regarding the number of life boats per vessel was based on the vessels tonnage not passenger occupancy. Titanic actually had two additional life boats more than what she legally needed to carry.
GREAT INFORMATION AND VIDEO THANKS
GREAT greatness
We love your enthusiasm, Troy! Hopefully you were able to learn a thing or two about the Titanic.
Actually the video has a lot of older theories that are only partially true.
Hate to be "that guy" but the lookout was up in the mast and not on the bow of the ship and the Titanic split between the 3rd and 4th funnels instead of between 2 and 3.
No, recently they found that the break location was actually between the second and third funnel, or under the third funnel base. I think they explain this in James Cameron's 'Titanic the final word' documentary.
Agreed; and much of the area between the second and third funnels broke into pieces.
Also, @Toolsquatch: "that guy" usually has a good point to make (and you did! I saw your comment before I saw the little figure of the lookout standing at the tip of the bow instead of up in the crow's nest and I had to laugh).
Now imagine if someone had recorded the whole sinking event from a Life boat and it was released tomorrow.
How awful..May all deceased find eternal peace.
The fact that they didn’t fell up the life boats to their full capacity is such an idiotic decision!
Many aspects to this. One of them is that people could not believe that the ship they were told as unsinkable would actually sink! They were resisting to leave the Titanic. Also there was fear of coming down over the ocean in a small boat. The lifeboats launched off the board initially were not filled upto the capacity mainly because of this reason.
The unsinkable ship... Sank during first time😥
titanic : i kill thousands
ww1 ww2= hold my beer
Spanish Flu says hi
"Unsinkable" *pfft*
iceberg: hold my beer
Also Titanic has "the unsinkable" badge on it!
Never be over confident
This is complete but short informative presentation
The ship was 269 meters. Not 266.
The lookout crew were on the crows nest. Not on the bow.
The distress signals weren't sent from the middle of the ship as the animation shows.
One life boat only had 12 passengers. Far less than the 28 this video pointed out.
Safety should have been first priority. More life boats, survival boat testing and critical radio communication between deck staff. Only if these factors worked to full effect, this sadness could have been avoided. RIP to the people who died that night.
2:10 that’s the most interesting pronunciation of Newfoundland I’ve ever heard!
What other ways have you heard it pronounced? Asking out of curiosity.
@@aurea. usually people say it with emphasis on the LAND part. Like "newfin-land"
@@fullanalysis93 Are you a fellow Canadian?
4:50 is it Faithful Day? Or Fateful Day?
I just finished watching titanic movie the other day and UA-cam recommended this 😢 it still hurt that Jack didn't make it 💔
Rose, Ruth, Cal, Jack, the Valet, Trudy... Etc were fictional characters, the movie director admitted it. The interiors were very inaccurate and the sinking was too.
People crying over a fictional character when 1500-/+ real people did die.
When are y’all going to update the information in this video and it’s description, to include the new information which was uncovered about the massive coal fire that was responsible for the Titanic’s sinking, and pretty much all the decisions made during and shortly before she set sail?
Powerful video
Even if they had enough lifeboats there would still been a substantial amount of deaths considering everyone class 3 werent allowed up to the decks where the lifeboats were.
No, 3rd Class wasn’t locked down there, it was a false theory for the 1997 movie, but no passengers were locked down there.
@@gabrielalvarado7849 It wasn't exactly false, it was based on some survivior's memories. The problem was that Titanic had many corridors, passages and stairs and not every was opened, so third class had it harder to exit their deck because it was lower and deeper in the ship. But it's true that there was no "preventing" third class passengers to rescue themselves.
I 💘 your titanic vids
People: Come on were gonna be late to go on board the titanic!. Rich people: WAIT i gotta put on my Chanel clothes.
RMS Carpathia was real hero there and it gives me goosebumps when i here about it
It took a disaster for people to realize you need enough lifeboats for everyone on board?? 😤😤
titanic: yeah we're unsinkable
ocean: *no*
great video!!! mi piacciono le barche🤪
Wasn't the ships compartment walls not actually built up to the ceiling, so when it began taking on water it would just fill up to the top and spill over into the next section?
They went up several decks and could float with up to 4 compartments damaged. However 5 were damaged compromising the the haul.
Can we just appreciate of how the titanic in the video sank XD
What?
They did not "cut" the number of lifeboats. The ship was actually carrying more than was legally required for a ship of that size and weight. At that time the number of lifeboats on a ship was determined by the tonnage of the ship NOT by how many people the ship could carry. It's also been proven that having binoculars would not have made a difference because the use of binoculars limits a person's range of vision so to see as much of the horizon as possible they would not have used the binoculars until AFTER the iceberg was spotted which would have been to late. Also, because of a minor error in determining the position of the ship 2 days before the collision that was never corrected when they sent the distress signal they gave the wrong coordinates so even if The Californian had heard the call they would have gone to the wrong lication and would not have found anything. The Carpathia only found the survivors because one of the lifeboats sent up a flair hoping to be able to see if a rescue ship was in sight.
Why am I so sad watching this video?
We share that sentiment, Andrea. It's difficult to look back on what happened to the Titanic and not feel sadness.
1:11 That's the RMS Majestic, not Titanic.
I believe you’ll get your headlines Mr Ismay
Thanks 🙏🏼 this was really helpful. For the next video on the titanic can you do it on the last survivor of the titanic she died in 2009 31st of May
Kraken Streams who?
Hans Parazo google it
Melvina Dean. She was only 2 months old at the time of the sinking.
@@douglasgriffiths3534 there's actually one who died in 1998? or something
Lesson: Overconfidence is fatal
Under oceans, is just a world of its own kind
Très interresant (=
Ocean: 1
Titanic: 0
Nice voice-over and the voice is soothing.
It wasn't ONE OF the largest ships of its time, it WAS THE largest ship of it's time
LouisNU technically it’s both. It’s like how a square is a rectangle but not the other way around. So the largest ship of its time would also be one of the largest ships of its time, the latter is just less specific
2:49 Finally someone that has the correct time for the launch of lifeboats. It was indeed 12:25, not 12:45
Well... Not so unfortunate for all the lobsters on the Titanic's kitchen.. food for thought!
I'm back here because of the missing titan sub. I hope they make it back alive and safe. I pray for them 🙏🙏🙏
Unfortunately there declared dead already.
3:26 one of the collapsible lifeboats. Also, it's Titanic, not 'the' Titanic.
Who’s stupid idea was it the cut the life boat supplies in half ?!
Jack decided to die for Rose,
Rose decided to live for Jack.
is it because rose and jack make out that the watchman was watching them and ddnt watch the ice berg 😂
