    The Olympic Grand smoking room is in the White Swan Hotel at Alnick in England

    2:10 dude, I think before making these videos you should maybe update your information a bit (read On a Sea of Glass). Thomas Andrews sighting on the Smoking Room was probably roughly around at 1:30 am, way before the final moments, since the person that reported this, Verandah Steward John Stewart left the ship at 1:40 am in lifeboat 15. There were multiple sighting of Andrews at the boat deck later, tossing deck chairs overboard.
    The final sighting of Andrews was at the bridge with Captain Smith. Mess Steward Cecil Fitzpatrick overheard a conversation between Andrews and Smith where the latter said “We can’t stay any longer, she is going.” And both jumped the port side bulwark as the bridge went under during the final plunge.

      it’s just very hard to believe that Thomas Andrews and Captain Smith dived into the ocean on the port side wing bridge bc for the last 45 years of me reading “Every single Titanic book I could ever get my hands on” and to believe some book called “On a Sea Of Glass” that just came out in 2012 on the 100th anniversary of the ship’s demise. Which I have still yet to read but as you did mention survivor and witnesses that saw the two in that area during the Titanic’s final moments. And it’s kinda interesting how in the James Cameron film showing Captain Smith’s final moments was in the wheelhouse of the bridge just outside of his living quarters on the starboard side. I guess I need to read “On a sea of Glass” now

    The aft grand staircase wasn’t “worse” it was just of a more simple design to the forward version. It still had an elegant design albeit lacking the honour and glory crowning time and descending to a lesser level. Still “grand” and still a thing of beauty.
    Excellent informative documentary, always enjoy your uploads. Keep them coming :)

      The term “worse” still applies even in this context, saying something is worse then another isn’t exactly implying that its bad to begin with

    It would have been awesome if titanic 1997 film showed the smoking room and cafe Parisien furniture falling down and being destroyed.

    The first class smoking lounge of the Titanic's practically identical sister ship, the "Olympic", was removed in one piece in 1935, when that ship was sold for scrap, and can now be seen (no smoking allowed anymore but a fine lunch is served!) in the "White Swan" Hotel in Alnwick, Northumberland, U.K.. The ballroom was also removed intact and was installed at the works of Akzo Nobel (Alfred Nobel of Peace Prize fame) in nearby Haltwhistle. That is not open to the public, but I was fortunate enough to see it, many years ago. R (Australia)

    The part in the movie that shows the room split is actually the first class lounge

      It does look like the First Class Lounge, however 1 minute before in the Film, it shows the First Class Lounge flooded

      its the same model used as the lounge but its made to look like the smoking room (different furniture, ceiling, etc) since they didnt want to spend money on making a new miniature for the smoking room

    You forgot to mention that the roof of the 3rd class smoking room lifted backwards and flipped like a pancake. 😢

    Part of 1st class smoking room is still there, but there are no recognizable details left, and it isn't destroyed in break-up. It flooded as stern plunged down and it got destroyed as ship hit the bottom, and probably also by water forces on stern's way to the bottom

    Well all I can say is that the fall was kinder to third class smoking room than first and second.

      Yes, but then the lounge is already fully submerged prior to this scene, so how come the lounge is dry during the breakup here?

    Men were allowed in the reading and writing room but few did. Woman were not allowed to be in there but some did pass there’s to get to the veranda cafe and palm court.

    • @drby0788
      @drby0788 3 місяці тому

      Believed to have stayed in cabin C-62, and C-64 on the port side. The room wouldve been similar to Cal and Roses room in the movie. It was one of four "parlor suites" which came with its own private promenade room. These were considered the grandest suites on the ship
