Titanic Before Disaster

  • The story of Titanic is perhaps most well-known for its ending - the image of the tragic loss of the liner, taking with it nearly 1500 souls into the freezing depths of the North Atlantic, has been seared into our collective memory for over 100 years. Tragedy is what most people think of when they hear the name “Titanic.” But this is, of course, only part of the story. The White Star Line vessel Titanic that existed before the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, was a very different ship. In truth, she was a liner like any other, albeit larger and grander than most. Her early days were fraught with frenzied final touches and inspections as the last-minute preparations were made for a very routine yet hopeful maiden voyage. Today we’ll be looking at the ship as she was in her very brief heyday, in the final days leading up to her departure from Harland and Wolff at Belfast, Ireland for Southampton England on her way to her date with destiny - a moment in time when there was still pride and hope for Titanic.

      You fine folk would likely enjoy Drachinifel, while waiting for Mikey to make a new one! And Mentour Pilot. His accident videos are better than ACI. Check out the latest one about the one that landed on the belly and took off again a couple of years ago in Pakistan. Not for the faint of heart. He also does incidents where they land safely and lessons are learnt that way. He's a 737-800 line training captain at one of the busiest airlines so he knows what he's talking about. Did a series on "type rating" for the 738. I followed it, technically I can now fly one :) FMC and all. It's easy, to me it was always black magic but the FMC had it's own kinda 1980s computer vibe. It's just tedious. I would curse ATC if they gave me a shortcut and I'd have to reprogram the thing mid flight but ir gave me an appreciation for how awesome airline pilots are. Total pros.

    Charles Lightoller was truly a hero both for his work saving lives on the Titanic and for his work with his son saving British, French, and Allied soldiers during the Dunkirk evacuation. Using their private vessel they joined the 850 vessels now known as the "Little Ships of Dunkirk" and personally saved 130 soldiers during Operation Dynamo. Miraculously they were able to help save some of the 336,000 soldiers rescued from the beaches.

      This is what gets to me about a tragedy of the magnitude of the loss of the Titanic and 1500 people. It's the loss of all that human potential. Imagine the contribution that great men such as Andrews, Murdoch and Smith might have otherwise gone on to achieve, had they lived. What might those 1500 have achieved if given a chance at a new life, or even an old one. Just so, so tragic and such a terrible waste.

    • @mjfan653
      @mjfan653 5 місяців тому +1

      That would be a condemnation that should be shared with a lot of others.
      As the British marine law was old in regards to needed ammount of lifeboats, as the white star line didn't require practice enough for evacuation, as the officers were not informed of how many could be loaded on a boat safely etc.
      That is why today ships officers and workers are required to practice evacuation, are informed of what to do how, are practicing also things like signalling and are actually put to sea in liferafts and boats not only in harbour but also in open sea.
      Back then a lot of mistakes were made, but to only put blame on the officers is faulty. They acted on the information and knowledge they had. The people and institutions responsible for that information lacked back then.
      Sadly, Titanics story shows an old proverb proven right, safety is acquired through blood and loss. Only after the disaster did nations start requiring adequate training for crews of passenger ships.

    • @EmilyCorradino
      @EmilyCorradino 4 місяці тому +5

      ​@mjfan653 ​ I think what this person is referring to is the fact that Murdoch would load men into the boats when there were no women or children left, whereas lightholler didn't allow men at all. Even when the boats still had many open seats.
      It's also worth noting that Lightholler is a self admitted war criminal. During World War 1, while in command of HMS Garry, he rammed and sank a U-Boat. The men surfaced and surrendered. Lightholler ordered his men to fire on them. It is a war crime to fire upon men who are surrendering. He was aware of this, as once the other British ships HMS Garry was escorting caught up with him, he ordered his men to cease fire and take the survivors that remained aboard. Once you sink an enemy ship, the safety of the survivors becomes your responsibility. Lightholler proudly admitted to firing upon those men in his autobiography. While Lightholler is undoubtedly deserving of praise for his actions in the evacuation of Dunkirk, he is also deserving of condemnation for the deaths of both the men he refused to let in the boats, and the surrendering men he fired upon.

    Thank you so much Mike for your help with understanding the history of this amazing project. I was so blessed to be able to be part of the Titanic exhibition when it came to Seattle years ago. It was my responsibility to make sure that nobody would touch the part of the hull that was brought to the surface and then because part of the exhibition years ago. It was so special to see the remnants of the ship that were once on the passengers and I was so touched by the tragedy. But being a spiritual being having a human experience I couldn’t help myself from being tempted to touch the hull piece when I had a chance and nobody could see me, Well a few years later I was just trying to get my bus home from work when I got hit by a distracted driver who was on their cellphone and had no clue that I was in the middle of the crosswalk until I got hit and I was thrown into the air and then I landed forty feet away. I was so blessed to have a friend that witnessed my accident and he called 911 and I was rushed to the hospital where I was in a coma for three weeks after and even though I was only given a five percentage chance of survival I am so grateful to be alive today and able to share my story with you as I have read that there was a curse on the Titanic

    I definitely never knew that during her sea trials, moving at 18 knots, when her engines were thrown into reverse, it only took 3 ship-lengths to stop. That's pretty insane for such a large ship. It's so unfortunate they didn’t sight the iceberg even 15 seconds earlier. She would probably have survived unscathed.

    The more of these videos on Titanic I watch, the more I understand what a tragic disaster her sinking was. Equally tragic are the sinking of many other similar ships similar to her due to accidents or war. The fruits of so much human cooperation and passion can be lost in the blink of an eye. It's a shame the creations and lives that are lost to ignorance and misfortune. Thank you for this video, this has become one of my favorite channels. Ships weren't something I gave much thought to before stumbling across one of your videos a couple of years ago. Now I find them fascinating, and I give this channel the lion's share of the credit for building a new interest of mine out of nothing.
