The first person perspective of Reverend Ancient climbing aboard to rescue those in the mast was amazingly well done, and equally terrifying. Thank you to everyone involved in this!
The animation really illustrates how fast these ships can go down. In simple narration it's easy to think of ten minutes as plenty of time but here you can see how quickly the situation really deteriorates. Well done.

The Atlantic is now memorialized in a video format that gives people the perspective of what it was actually like to be there that fateful early morning. Thank you for preserving our maritime history in your videos.
it feels like a lot of WSL vessels have been immortalised by youtube videos recently, it's heart-breaking to know that the only surviving WSL vessel is the rather small SS Nomadic, which happens to be of a somewhat similar size to SS Atlantic. heck, even SS Naronic has her own video, which kinda immortalises the very existance of the ship... but hey, there are still a number of ships that need this kind of special treatment of being immortalised by a youtube video...
@@aninkytheorist1133Atlantic was much larger than Nomadic: they are similar in height (save Atlantic’s masts), but I’m pretty sure that Atlantic was both a little bit wider and much longer. Also, if we wanna split hairs, there are two original WSL lifeboats bouncing around if memory serves: one from Nomadic and one, IIRC, from Olympic. And if we REALLY want to split hairs, every Cunard ship post-1932 is/was technically a White Star Liner, as they were merged that year into Cunard-White Star. Modern-day Cunard still uses the WSL brand somewhat by referring to their luxury standards as the White Star Service, even though they dropped White Star from their name back in 1960 (following the retirement of the last pre-merger WSL ship, the MV Britannic).
It always gets to me when I hear the "2 babies born on board" and then the 14 year old boy who would be the only child survivor. Both babies and their mothers never made it out really does bother me in whole.
Such a very sad and tragic moment in history, but once again you have all treated this with the most amazing respect and care. A true memorial for those who lost their lives. Thank you
Thank you for this representation, it makes the tragedy all the more real and personal. Those Islanders were very brave and must have worked tirelessly.
Amazing work! I just discovered your channel in the wake of the Titan tradgedy and it has quickly become one of my favorites. The Atlantic is such a heartwrenching tradgedy. All those people perishing so close to the shore, so close to salvation. The fact that it could have been prevented, were it not for the supreme arrogance of one young man is profoundly upsetting. Metcalf got a more meciful fate than he deserved in my opinion.
The highest praise to HFX Studio on a quality presentation of the tragedy of the Atlantic shipwreck. And without narration. Musical accompaniment selection the finest. Had a real sense of witnessing events. Heroic feats in incredible losses. Very grateful for your efforts HFX and Tom L. 💙
This particular maritime disaster has made me feel physically ill from the first time I read about it, then watched your historical video account of the cascade of stubbornness, arrogance, incompetence and hubris that led to the situation the Atlantic found itself in and now this brilliant followup video. This time around the use of the low light in those wee hours of the morning, the sounds of the relentless crashing of waves and the adept way the soundscape made me feel the swells and the cold and that nauseating transition from a blustery night at sea to the inexorable doom that could not be denied--was brilliantly done! The music was also so hauntingly tragic and yet managed to bring me to experience what someone writing an account of a horrific battle during WWI termed, "A terrible beauty". Once again, Mother Nature triumphed over Man's frail limitations. I can't wait to watch this again after I've had a day or two to process this marvelous video. Whenevr I notice something new has arrived from you guys I know I can become submerged in an accurate telling of the historic fates of these fantastic ships without fear of learning later that you all just faked it and served up some sloppy noise like 70% of internet content. I trust you all so much and feel privileged to become one of ypur loyal followers. What a treat.
Words are wholly insufficient to express how utterly tragic this was. Watching through my tears. Poor wretched souls. I feel somehow proud of the rescuers to exert themselves so fully for their fellow humans in distress. It is right they are all remembered. Though only one reverend amongst them, they are all revered for what they did this night. Thankyou for putting this together and making it available. A job well done not just all the time researching and making a video of such quality, but also all your efforts to ensure their memory is not lost to history. Thankyou.
Wow! Your other video on the "Atlantic" was great but watching this really made it home. It's like I could even feel the coldness in the air. I can't imagine the hours this took to put together. Just a fantastic job as always. Thank you
My great great great great grandfather was 2nd officer Metcalfe, I’m glad that you have made this video to better show the events that happened that day.
Beautiful work, down to the subtleties of the soundtrack's thrumming of the engine that phases out when we're "on" land and when the engines, at last, stop. Heartbreaking to see, of course, and the real time presentation shows how quickly the disaster progressed. That the daring islanders were able to save anyone is remarkable. Thank you so much for this.
Wow! These recreation tributes to the Atlantic just get better and better. Titanic and the Empress aside it's my favourite maritime disaster and have watched your previous videos on it many times. The graphics are just utterly amazing, go Alex, and even though I like hearing and seeing you Tom, I enjoyed reading it as an unfolding story with the time present to. I think the music choice is spot on and the realistic sound effects of the sea crashing, people crying out and the ship taking a battering all add to the atmosphere of this tragic but rescuing plight. Well done to all the rescuers and remembrance to all that were lost and an A1 ship, thank you so much for this Tom and the team - better than TV!! 👍😊😊📺🌊🚢⚓
Wow. This is one of the most incredible and beautiful animations I have ever seen. The music you chose is perfect for the event -- gave me chills to watch and imagine what it must have been like for the passengers and crew. Thank you for an amazing work!
I check your channel everyday for new videos, so today was a good day🙂 you have a way of telling the stories that realy makes me listen and pay attention..even with just animation like this. had a history-teacher with the same qualities at school, when he was speaking was the only time a week my class where silent 😊
Have only just discovered you and the amazing job that you do in telling these stories of tragedy and heroism. Making sure that the facts are correct and ensuring that the memories aren't forgotten. Well done to you, Emma, your little one and the team =^.^=
Thank you for creating such a wonderfully informative channel! The “Golden Era” of the great ocean liners is one of my favorite history subjects as the old ocean liners have a whimsy and charm and sense of elegance and class that is completely absent in the modern world’s gaudily over-conflated cruise ships. It would be truly great to experience a revival of the ships of yesteryear. Thank you for making a truly fascinating era of history and the elegance of these ships and their stories come alive once again!🙌
the whole video was incredible, but 19:30 REALLY had it good for me, it looked so realistic and i could almost imagine myself there staring out at the mutilated wreckage of what had once been a magnificent ship... very well done indeed!
This is indeed the best yet. The story, the loss of the women and children may heve been a factor in Titanics Captain Smith's orders years later to not have the tragic outcome of Atlantic's sinking.
This revised version give so much more of a view as to what happened that night/morning, though I still love the original real time and documentary just as much :)
This is brilliant work! Kudos to Tom and the team. Your channel just keeps getting better and better. I was blown away by the realism of the animation and attention to detail in the research.
Great job again, such a good job with the animation, and the water looked the best on this reconstruction. I don't mean to complain, but i had a difficult time reading the script on the bottom of the screen. I know that most people watch utube from a phone, or tablet, and it makes it quite hard to read. I don't know if another color would be easier to read, but i would be happy if you just narrated those parts, because it brings that sense of life, and humanity to the sinking, whether anyone were to die, or all were to survive. I appreciate the time and effort not to just make a video, but the many hour's it takes to create these ship's, with such detail. G-d bless, the best is yet to come.
Been absolutely hooked on your videos, with amazing professionalism and detail! As an Australian viewer, I thought you might find some of Australia's colonial-era shipwrecks interesting to look at, including Victoria's shipwreck coast, estimated to have around 700 shipwrecked vessels submerged in its waters, including the infamous Loch Ard shipwreck in 1878. Love the work!
i’ve always loved (bitter word for it) this story since the first time you told it to us years ago in the previous animation. And now, i will never forget it, thanks to you again. wonderful wonderful job.
I have had thalassophobia for as long as I can remember, and a I cannot imagine a more horrifying scenario than this. Imagine your last moments being of pure terror, knowing that you’re going to die.
This is quality storytelling wih fine animation and appropriate captions as narrative. The menacing ocean sounds are perfect. Without the usual creator-babbling, I found it pleasantly interesting despite the human tragedy unfolding.
I am thoroughly impressed with this production. I do not know anything about maritime history nor have I ever had any particular interest, but what an amazing and frightening event told in a way that captured my attention.
Just boggles the mind how a vessel can be 12 miles off course in the late 1800's without even knowing. Negligence on so many levels. Full speed with zero visibility. Lack of compass monitoring. Lack of plot timing. Lack of awareness when things were obviously wrong. Failure to wake captain as ordered. No experience. Terrible evacuation procedures. Failure of rank and discipline from the very start... it just goes on... makes my blood boil. Preventable loss of lives.
The first person perspective of Reverend Ancient climbing aboard to rescue those in the mast was amazingly well done, and equally terrifying. Thank you to everyone involved in this!
It really fails to capture how blinding the sea spray would’ve been.
He would’ve been practically blind. All the more testament to his bravery.
@@Menukihear hear.

yeah, the Lusitania was much bigger and only had one torpedo hit, but sank in 18 minutes..
Yes, the animation also illustrates that, in the late 19th century, men could climb ladders without moving their legs at all.
@@workonesabs the most ironic thing about that is, Lusitania was doing exactly 18 knots when it happened, which is ironic considering it took her only 18 minutes to finally go under...
Bro like SS atlantic sank For like 10 hours and 45 minutes.
@ko7577 Please watch the video again. All the lifeboats were smashed by the waves. The people on the lifeboats were the first to die.
The animation work on this is incredible, well done guys

my question is why is the info below the vid from wikipedia for the titanic?
Awesome video! Fantastic animation! Thank you

No experience. Terrible evacuation procedures. Failure of rank and discipline from the very start... it just goes on... makes my blood boil.
Preventable loss of lives.
The fact the only reason they're there is because the Chief Engineer lied about the remaining coal reserves makes it all the more tragic.
and lack of brains.
Was this the captain's first day?
Vivid and incredible in detail! In the future, I’d like to see a shot of the propeller actually shearing off on the rock.
Great video.
Well done.
Very well done. The text instead of spoken descriptions makes this even more intense.
What an absolute nightmare. And in pitch black conditions. This is extremely well done.
this animation looks so real
