My grand uncle was on the Titanic. 36 years old,and was going to St Louis .Missouri.His mother died two weeks before he left Co Clare Ireland, His body was never recovered. I have erected a stone memorial for him,on his nephew's and niece's grave, with a sculpture of the ship. RIP all.
Guess I’m lucky. My mums family left Ireland from county Clare in 1848. They left for Australia. There is info that a single girl , aged 16 , left later to join them. Wow! How brave these people were. Her name was Ellen Bartlett. I can’t remember the name of the ship but it started with an ‘M’. May they Rest In Peace - such a tragedy. The bit about them having a party is just heart breaking . I don’t know if it’s right to say that at least they were having fun to start with. The bravery of people shone through. 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Kathleen Keene. Thank uou so much . I’ll look that iPad, my son would love it. A cousin of mine was doing the family tree , it was during the big floods Queensland had. They had to evacuate quickly and her research was left behind. Start again time 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👵👵❤️❤️❤️
Whenever Titanic is mentioned in film and documentaries it’s always the wealthy they mention. How fabulous is this documentary that centres on the less fortunate passengers to tell their story. RIP to all the poor souls who lost their lives in this tragedy.
so upset n so sorry for families that one or more of their wether rich or not so rich its anyone life that matter my faher would of being in his early teens across the other side of the world helping his dad build their whare puni (meeting house) yes i think the boat builders too were at faults its a very sad true story
@@daisyharris1992 did the recent lost submersible craft that was viewing titanic wreckage bring you here? I see that your comment was only a few days ago. That’s what brought me here
I think that I've been a fan ever since I first saw the 1997 movie, or reading about it in the Magic Treehouse series (whichever came first) In any case, this was definitely a wonderfully done documentary, I've seen a good number of them, but they focus more on the technical why it happened, sure they might talk about the losses, but many just refer to them in a statistical manner, "yes it's sad, so many losses, but anyways back to this handy chart we made..." (okay maybe not quite that bad, but the point still stands). The actors who played the 14 and the other passengers added an extra level of depth that most others don't, a human depth that even the fancy graphics of the videos from the game Titanic Honor and Glory (which is going to be fantastic when it's done) can't match.
@@sandy4498 Actually, the producers of Saving The Titanic themselves refer to it as a docudrama .. and it IS a wonderfully 'dramatised documentary' - so the term does make good sense.
I can’t imagine saving every penny for years to send my daughter to another country for a real future, knowing I’d realistically never see her again, only to hear of her death on her voyage to the promised land…. Heartbreaking
I’ve forever been interested in the Titanic….the grass was always greener on the other side so because those poor Irish folk jumped at the chance of a new life…unfortunately they boarded the fated Titanic! Such a wonderful life was waiting for them all in the New World….just so sad…May God’s blessings follow the anguished next of kin …a loss that could not be forgotten,ever.
I'm not from ireland, and this is nothing to do with Titanic, but I have an awesome notebook from a family member leaving for America in 1873. Her friends all wrote personal and heartfelt eulogycies, poems, memories of things they did growing up, and so on. Twice as touching as any funeral I've ever been to. She chose a ticket and pocket money over her father paying for a wedding, and I would like to imagine he was proud of her as well.
So many today complain and rant about the most petty things, not getting how fortunate they are being born in this time of the world, and where they were born, as many today live horrors we couldn't imagine.
This is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen about the Titanic. I too, have always been fascinated about the lives of the passengers. But, next to nothing is known about 3rd class passengers. Thank you so much for telling this remarkable story.
There are many shows/documentaries about the sinking but not so much the actual lives of those onboard. That is what is fascinating to me and what I want to learn about.
As an Irish woman, I couldn't help but cry through the whole video. Their dreams, Their hopes and Their future Gone! Thank God! They are remembered with love and deep affection. Those who did make it must have had many a torturous nightmare. God Bless them all.
I was born on April 15th many decades after the sinking of the Titanic, but every year since I was a teenager and learned that the Titanic sank on my birthday I have made it a tradition to say a Rosary for all the precious ones who died that day. May their souls rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them.
I started crying when it showed them eating at the table in 3rd class. The first time they had a meal like that with silver cutlery and toilets and washrooms. They were so excited and then they died with all these wonderful dreams for their future. I’m so glad their town in Ireland honor them each year to never be forgotten. This huge mansion about 5 mins down the street from me was sold to the owners of New Balance tennis shoe. The family that owned it before died on the Titanic. No one really in my neighborhood even knows that story. It would be so great if we did something to honor them but it’s like they are forgotten.
I'm still incredulous that these people living in poverty managed to save up the equivalent of £700, even if it did take 3 years. Someone living on Universal Credit in the UK these days would have no chance of saving that amount. Why were they considered poor if they had surplus money? I don't understand
It's good to be able to hear about the stories behind the folks "in the lower cabins." For all my childhood and other adult years, that's all I've ever heard them described as. The rich folks had names, jobs, and titles. The lower classes were just lower classes; an unnamed, poor monolith. As an adult, I want to hear their lives. Because in many ways, I'm them in the present; because minimum wage workers are the backbone of every country; and mostly, because humans are all humans. There isn't more or less value to them depending on income. So thank you.
My Scouse / Irish ancestors were trade unionists in early New Zealand 20th century, their answer to an impoverished life before NZ. Fortunately, life improved for their many descendants in NZ, Australia & USA.
She got out of the boat, went alllll the way back down to steerage, grabbed the hat, went alllll the way back up to the chaos, found a rope, lowered herself into a boat that was already almost in the water and saved herself. I call that a Superwoman move!
@@wini4933 WOW! And what would YOU think if someone wished Death on you? My mother always said..." Don't wish something bad on someone else because it COULD happen to you?".... Good advice! Ya might wanna take a step back and think about that a minute 😡...SMH
I don't think Annie McGowan risked going back to her room to merely fetch a hat. In my opinion, it was more than a hat: it was her last present from her mother that she badly wanted to hold onto as a memory, for she was unlikely to see her again.
I've always been fascinated by the Titanic, but this is the first documentary I've seen which really brought to life the reality for not only those on board, but those left behind. So well made and so emotional
The part of the American wakes made me a little sad the fact that those early Irish immigrants never returned home after coming to America puts into perspective just how much they had given up for a better life, I really hope American Irish today travel back to Ireland one time in their lives just to make the journey back that their ancestors most likely didn't make Also real sweet of their village to honor them every year
They may have made it to America, but most of them could never afford a round trip ticket back to Ireland. If they were going back to Ireland, it was one way. They were going to stay there.
lora 1111 damn right about that the people doing the most are normally ones right up under you nose fluently... but most people don’t want to speak of those things. The just talk of “strangers”.
When I was a little girl, I remember my parents discussing our neighbors who had miraculously survived this disaster. We were cautioned not to ask them questions about it, because it still evoked such painful memories of lost friends and family members. That was my introduction to this "forbidden" topic. When their son became a teenager, he shared his parent's memories of this tragedy, and something in my child's mind realized what a devastating event this was. Those voices are mostly lost, now, so these documentaries are wonderful tributes to all the survivors of the Titanic's calamity, and a poignant eulogy for lost lives.
It's quite something. So many survivors chose never to speak of the incident again. I know there's barely a peep from Astor about anything remotely pertaining to Titanic and so many were similar to her. It's sad how deeply this terrible event shook the world. :(
When the Titanic sank, my Grandmother was on a ship sailing from England to Australia. The ship she was on received the distress signal from Titanic, but was too far away to intervene. They were at the time still fairly close to England.
The last remaining survivor of the Titanic was Millvina Dean she was 97 and died in Southampton in 2009 of pneumonia,she had lived her life in Ashurst,Southampton. My Uncle lived in Ashurst too,and they were neighbours and friends. He told me all about her and her life. Millvina was a small baby when aboard the Titanic at the time of its sinking.
I took care of a woman named Pauline Yohawn who's husband had tickets for the titanic. He wasn't allowed to board as a young child. Because they did not serve Swedish food. His mother took another liner. And they kept the tickets. They are now in a museum donated after death by family.
@@davidvalensi8616 it wasn’t just that town it was many! This town was just able to speak on on the incident because they could remember or afford it or didn’t sign a nda
Beautifully done! Such a tribute to 14 fearless young people wanting a better life. Bless be to those who survived at home and to the 3 who had to make a way after surviving such a horrendous tragedy. Prayers for the town of Addergoole and the descendants of the 3.
Thank you for posting this documentary. What a story, about hopeful, ordinary people and the chances and choices they made. My Dad's uncle was on the Carpathian, the first ship to the disaster that picked up survivors. My Dad said he couldn't talk about it, it sounds like he had PTSD from the experience.
how wonderful to hear the story of third class passengers, a very insightful and thoughtful documentary about the human reality of this tragedy. I was very touched by the way the villagers still remember Titanic today.
There are thousands of books, videos and stories told documenting the how, who, why, and when of the concept and building of the Titanic ship but the stories that really matter are those told about the people of the ship.
I watched the movie version of this story & in my opinion the captain of the ship neglected his passengers because they were having a party then & the ship's crew only realized that the ship is coliiding with the iceberg. But it was too late. This was the movie version.
Great Doc ! My Grandmothers best friend was on Titanic and survived.She was Bridget Mulvill, but she was called Daisy by family and friends. I believe that she had emigrated to the US and had come back to Athlone for her sisters wedding and was returning on Titanic. She was a third class passenger and boarded one of the last lifeboats. In subsequent letters to my grandmother she only referred to it once as `that terrible night`.
I found her and read her life story. Her family didn’t even know she was on Titanic until they notice her name in the list of survivors because she was going to surprise her sister for the Wedding. The last name is spelt on the Titanic encyclopedia as Mulvihill.
Delia McDermott and Annie McGowan both escaped in Lifeboat 13, which was launched overloaded with 70 people. It was one of four lifeboats Officer Murdoch managed to launch filled to capacity, the others being Lifeboats 11 and 15, and Collapsible C. These four boats combined saved 265 lives, over one third of the survivors
Wow God bless captain murdoc for taking how many people that he really really could god bless his sole😢... Sad that the other captains did not fill the boats more to try save more life's 😢
Nowadays what the White Star LIne did wouldn't hold up in court. Even though they got these people to sign these documents, they were in the hospital receiving treatment and truly in no condition to think clearly. White Star LIne took total advantage of that too. In today's world, the survivors could argue successfully that they signed under duress and have it thrown out. Times have changed!
This made me clench my fist immediately, when I heard they made them sign papers to only be given $25. I can't use words to describe these White Star leeches without using expletives, so I'll say no more.
Thank you this beautiful and touching documentary. I've always been fascinated with the Titanic since I was a child and this shows the tragedy in a tasteful yet emotional way. My heart goes out to all the victims but I love how a small town in Ireland still remember and memorialize their 14 citizens over a century later. 💙🇮🇪🇺🇸⛴️
The fact that they’re still coming together in the end 100 years later gathering in this village to honor the 14th ancestors of the S who didn’t make it it touches me it really touches me it makes me so emotional it makes me so emotional
This story should be told by Hollywood, not made up jewels and people that didn't exist in real life because it made for a good story. Kudos to the folks here in the US and Ireland for speaking about and honoring their relatives.
Yeah Jack and Rose are fabricated but when you watch Titanic, you can see all the real life witness accounts happenign all around them. I appreciate that. Like seeing the people play football with the ice. ect ect.
My mother’s side of the family are Irish. My great grandparents were immigrants. No one I was related to were on the Titanic, as far as I know. However, this story hit home for me since Ireland is in my DNA. Great little documentary. This is the first I’ve heard this story. Thank you
I think that people should watch this documentary now! 2023 The Titan accident happened, that place is not amusement park, show some respect for the Titanic victims. 🙏
I couldn't imagine what's worst being on the lifeboat and hearing the screams for awhile or when you're slowly hearing the screams fade knowing they are all slowly dying around you...
Yes, I saw a documentary about them. Great looking couple with beautiful children. If I'm not mistaken he sadly perished and her and the kids sutvived. May he rest in Peace and thank you for pointing this out. BLESSINGS ALWAYS.
finally a story of ordinary people on board.. it is heartbreaking to know how they saved their money for the tickets thinking this is their way to a better life.. but haven't had the chance to even look at the land they were all dreaming to step on.. but on the other hand it warms my heart to know about their stories... RIP to all those who perished..
They all probably came back in another life to live again. Reincarnation is a possibility as well. At least I hope they had a chance to live another life. Perhaps they are living somewhere else in this world now....as to where in the world? No one can be certain. 🤷♀️
@@lishialindh25 it is just as valid as anyone elses religion. As an atheist I believe they died and that's it but I respect that their belief is reincarnation
Its lovely to see the survivors family members talking about them. They each have parts that resemble their loves ones. So beautiful. Lovely souls. Stay blessed. Stay strong and stay safe ❤
My husband just found out he is 3/4 Irish and he is beyond proud of it. I've always been fascinated with Irish culture and this story just breaks my heart. They were in search of a better life and it's just tragic that they didn't see it through. I feel especially for the surviving family members that went on with life carrying the pain in their hearts.
@@amy109 Irish people didn't always say were they came from or tell the children about their pasts so that's maybe why he didn't know he has Irish blood 🍀☘
My grandfathers cousin survived but was traumatized for the rest of her life. Lucy Ridsdale was middle aged and traveled as a governess.She was used as an example in the National Archives Museum as to what the typical 2nd class passenger lost in belongings and how much she sued the ships builder for loss and damages. Our family has memorabilia, when Lucy’s sister wrote to my family two weeks after the sinking to let them know how Lucy was doing as she recovered at her sisters home in Ohio. Family elders have the original dated letter, I and others have a copy which I cherish. Lucy’s plight has led me to a number of discoveries about the tragedy, waking me to truths many are not ready to hear yet.
The history you have is amazing I’m sorry to hear that Lucy was so traumatized Who wouldn’t be after A big loss. But are you feel that’s really cool that you have history there and being on second class that’s really cool that you have a letter I’m a big titanic buff I love everything about the titanic it’s my favourite ship in the world
This documentary really touched me. Amazing how you can hear stories of people you have never met who lived many years before you and it has such a touching affect on to you. Finally stories of people in third class are being told. Moving to a complete new country and knowing you may never see your family again must be so terrifying. God bless their souls!❤
Meow Xia absolutely I agree never challenge god because he will show you who god is however , I don't believe god had anything at all to do with this I mean he didn't have to because ultimately it was the ignorance of man that caused this ship to sink they wanted to make headlines and beat the time predicted to reaching New York so they sped up the ship problem was with such a big ship you can't steer as easily or quickly so that was their problem and the ship being so big and strong and going as fast as it was it made the impact that much harder when it did hit the iceberg I hate to say it but humans love to push things to the limit and not use knowledge so tragedy can happen when you're doing something so risky when you are unsure f the consequences
This is one of the best Titanic docs I’ve ever seen. Well done. I’ve been obsessed with Titanic since I was a kid back in the 80s. I also unknowingly got married on the 100th Anniversary of the sinking. ❤️🙏🏼
Very touching. I live in Jamaica and one Jamaican family also lost a person on the TiTanic. He was not Jamaican but visited the island, in a relationship with a local girl but never live to return as he went down with the ship. Family members in Europe did some research and found his Jamaica disendance and the story was publish locally.
I played one of the 14. If you have any questions about this documentary, you can ask me. Keep in mind, this was filmed in 2012 when I was 18. My memories are limited
Dan Beaumont 18, the year I completed my 'Leaving Certificate exams (high school for Americans, A levels for the English). The year that would determine my options into further education, therefore determining my profession, my salary and my ambitions. Sorry if my memory isn't satisfactory for you.
I was a member of "Mayo Youth Theatre" when the producer of this documentary approached me and fellow members. Mayo is the county in which this documentary takes place. Addergoole is the village, not even a town. With the lack of villagers and buildings in Addergoole in 1912, it probably wasn't even considered a village. I could be wrong there. And no, I am not from the immediate area. I'm from another remote area within the county of Mayo.
Coming back for the 3rd time to watch this. I know a lot of people died on the Titanic, and a lot of families were affected, but it breaks my heart when I think of those 14 families in their mourning, the absolute devastation and loss.. So sad.
Really touching documentary , I really found it interesting to learn about these survivors lives after the sinking , what happened to them and how they were affected by this tragedy throughout their lives. It is an overlooked part of the story, I feel, I have never before heard any information about survivors and what these people went through afterward . Excellently narrated and the story was so well told .
I remember talking to my wife's grandmother in the 80's who came to Australia from Ireland in 1922, truly heartbreaking stories of death and poverty in Ireland plus discrimination for being Irish.
Yes. My family history has those stories. My great grandfather killed himself as his bakery was boycotted and my grandfather was to go on titanic but missed it. He had been drinking in the pub -
@@amayha3293 I have hardly EVER heard another person say that they are “Black Irish”. WOW! My fathers side of the family was Black Irish, and I have a small amount in me. Very cool!
According to family lore, my great grandfather Ferenz Bazsika had a ticket for Titanic but missed his crossing. He ended up in NY from Hamburg Germany on the USS President Lincoln(later torpedoed by the Germans in 1918) on 4/15/1912.
I don't think this story will ever be forgotten... no matter how many more centuries will pass... Hope those innocent souls are in a better place... 🙏🌺💕
Im Norwegian and my ancestors grew up in north of Norway where a lot of them worked at sea. Many they knew died at sea, and my great grandmother was always terrified of the water. She never learned how to swim. Its a common thing for that generation here, which now is a generation long gone
My whole life I have felt a connection to this ship. I was born - in Belfast - on 1st September 1985 - the very day she was discovered at the bottom of the Atlantic. My great grandfather worked at Harland and Wolff and possibly helped build her.
Perhaps you died on the ship in a previous life.. i know i did or at least in very similar circumstances. However i’ve always been drawn to the story of the titanic most likely because my soul knows.. even if i only know shards of my previous life.. i remember how i died in a room filling with water and drowned after being unable to move due to the cold water. The door couldn’t open due to the water on the other side.. i probably tried to open it wich is why the water flooded in. And i’m guessing i might have slept trough the whole thing only realising till it was too late
The beginning of this documentary made this relatable to me, my great great grandfather and great great grandmother both immigrated from Ireland to the US (New York) around the time of the Titanic (They didn't travel together, they met and married in New York). This realistically could have happened to either one of them
My ancestors left Irealnd in 1863 and settled in New Zealand. There were more than enough tragedies accompanying their fresh start, even though they had no ha;;mark experiences like this. It really gives pause for thought. Touching documentary, and well done.
I start feeling happy for them that they get to immigrate, and then I remember that they're going on the Titanic and only three will survive. It's so sad hearing about them all and wondering which ones will make it. I haven't finished it yet. Edit: This was so sad it made me cry while baking cookies. Baking cookies is usually happy, but for some reason I thought listening to a documentary about the Titanic while I do it would be a great idea. I don't regret it though. I always roll my eyes when people say history is boring, it's all about how you present it really, its unfortunate that schools only seem to care about memorizing names and dates.
Very true. I love history one of my favorite subjects in school. When I was younger my Mum made me study the Tudors. And made me read every single book. And now I study any part of history. I think it's very important.
I agree, a good history instructor wants to show how and why we got where we are, and while I do think that there are many out there who want to do it, but due to funding and the opinions of the higher-ups all that matters are passing grades, no passion, no memory, just enough to get the students through to graduation. In any case, this was definitely a wonderfully done documentary, I've seen a good number of them, but they focus more on the technical why it happened, sure they might talk about the losses, but many just refer to them in a statistical manner, "yes it's sad, so many losses, but anyways back to this handy chart we made..." (okay maybe not quite that bad, but the point still stands).
Beth Bartlett to. It's a rare blessing Beth to be full of empathy! If we all had a pinch of empathy,This world would be a beautiful world to live in ! God Bless you and your family Beth!
I'm related to Lucy Ridsdale, she survived. Her cabin was on E Deck and shared her room with Mary Davis. They both escaped on lifeboat 13 and were picked up by the Carpathia. Lucy wasn't meant to be on the Titanic but due to the strikes at the time her original ship didn't sail so she was offered a ticket for the Titanic instead.
Incredible documentary. As someone who has always followed the story of Titantic since I was a child, this documentary was the best one I’ve seen, and it brought Titantic and it’s passengers to life more than anything I’ve seen or read. Thank you so much for sharing this story. 🙏
This is one of the most well-done documentaries I’ve seen. Thank you to all the people who put this together, for safeguarding the memories and presenting these histories!
Thank you for sharing their stories. They live on forever when we never forget. RIP. I’m so sorry this happened to you all. You deserved so much more. Also I absolutely adore how the town honors them, true love and community.
I like the human element to this video. It's everyday people that tell the true story of history in my opinion, I do have a degree in it. Everyday accounts make it real, and the majority were not rich so the everyday accounts of the common people I feel are the true backbone to history. I personally feel when we hear from them they add so much more to the narrative if that makes sense.
The pregnant lady lost her life and her baby. It is just so sad. I have no relatives from the tatanic but it is absolutely terrible in that moment of death wow overwhelming
This is so cool how it shows what life was like in Ireland during this time period. I always questioned why so many people were emigrating and I kind of knew why but never saw it like this
So moved by this one. Well done and brilliantly brought to life. My grandparentscame to America before the Titanic. My granny got very sick on ship but made it . They passed after I was born.
What a truly amazing perspective this documentary showed about Addergoole. What a wonderful thing they do each year. Brought tears to my eyes! Bless them all they have not been forgotten!
What a heartbreaking and magnificent telling of this horrible tragedy. I thought I'd seen all there was to view on the Titanic. This will be one I will watch again. Rest in Peace Beautiful souls.
I’ve always been in awe of this tragedy . I’ve seen documentaries, read books and have seen the exhibit when it came to St. Louis several years ago.... it was a profound & emotional experience . So too was learning of the yearly ritual of the village community.... to honor those they lost that fateful night.... April 15 , 1912 @ 2:20 a.m. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The passengers on the Titanic were exactly like my Grandfather who immigrated from Poland in June 1912, 1 1/2 months after the sinking, on the SS Kroonland, one of the ships who radioed an ice warning to the Titanic, or my Uncle's father, who immigrated on the SS Bremen in April 1912 and sailed through the Titanic's debris just days after the sinking. If you know your family's story, the Titanic is a very real story, because it could have just as easily been them!
My Irish grandmother was born in 1902 and was 10 when Titanic sunk. She lived till the age of 100 and died in 2002. Even at the age of 100 she could recall people she knew who travelled down from Co. Mayo where she was from to Co. Cork Ireland to go on the Titanic. All those who did were 3rd class passengers and perished.
There are 150 Titanic victims buried in Halifax Nova Scotia in Canada. The man who cared for their bodies treated them with great respect and carefully recorded their physical descriptions and what they were wearing and the valuables they carried on them. White Star begrudgingly eventually paid for their little grey head stones.
I would be horrified and scared for life hearing those screams!!! I myself AM afraid of drowning but not afraid of the water.... That would give me nightmares for the rest of my life.
I almost hate to make apologies for Titanic's crew for that, but they didn't lock them down there to purposely keep them away from the lifeboats. Immigration laws of the time required third class passengers to be kept separate from those in the other classes. Add to that a crew that was only haphazardly informed of the danger to the ship*, and it was kind-of inevitable they would have kept the gates locked. *In the early phases of the disaster at least, knowledge of the ship's true condition was mostly kept to the officers. A crewmember in the stern didn't even know they were launching lifeboats until he saw one row away.
"Every Titanic movie depicts third-class passengers trapped behind floor-to-ceiling gates. Careful examination of available plans of Olympic and Titanic reveals no such gates in passenger areas. U.S. immigration regulations required segregation of third class from first and second - the former faced Ellis Island inspection; all others landed directly at the pier. On Titanic, waist-high gates separated classes. Stewards nearby prevented gate-jumping. Eventually, they left to help in the evacuation, leaving gates unguarded, explaining a surge of third-class passengers onto the boat deck after most lifeboats had left. One author plotted more than 20 paths from third-class areas to the boat deck. The high third-class death toll resulted primarily from language barriers, natural obedience to authority figures, refusal to leave male loved ones behind and the absence of communication." Quote from Charles A. Haas, who has co-authored with John P. Eaton five acclaimed books about Titanic. In 1993, Haas was the first teacher to dive to Titanic's wreck and he serves today as president of Titanic International Society, based in Midland Park.
I've been fascinated by the Titanic for a long time. I've also met groups and gathered people who were into the Titanic. The Addregoole 14 story gripped me, so I wrote a poem about them. It is a curious thing that while doing a family search, I learned that some of my ancestors immigrated to Chicago in 1905. Unfortunately, I have not been able to contact their descendants.
Edith Russel went back for her Pig music box... a gift from her mom. If not for a crew member throwing the pig into the lifeboat, she would've drowned. During the night she played its music for the crying children.
@@arturobuco Yeah, I understand that thing was of sentimental value to her. But, if I were her I wouldn't have gone back for it. It's too risky in a situation like that and she could've saved up for a new one, when she arrived in New York.
@@tiamarie6719 I think nobody can predict how they're going to react in a stressful, life or death situation like this. That hat might be all she could think of like you might have brought something like your grandmother's wedding dress and that could be all you can think of
That was so sad. I admit I cried when they were leaving home. I know how they must have felt. May all those who perished on the Titanic rest in peace. 🌹
I remember watching a documentary a while back, and one of the survivors described the screaming like that which you'd hear at a ballpark. She lived in Brooklyn, near Ebbet's Field where the Dodgers played. She said that the roar of the crowd during a homerun or crazy play would trigger her. Saying that that's exactly what those screams sounded like. Only they weren't cheering, they were dying and pleading for help. To this day, I still imagine what that "death roar" must've sounded like, and it just chills me to my core - no pun intended. Seriously though, it's just so frightening to imagine. It's also probably the best way to describe that sound.
I used to commute through an old Virginia town, Clifton. There's a house there, plaque attached, it belonged to a man who worked with the mail on board Titanic. He went down with the ship.
What a great documentary! It really touched me that this is about people in the Titanic and not like any other documentary that discusses why and how the ship sank. It's easy to forget about how the they felt and focus only on the ship itself, this gives a whole other perspective for the accident. Well done!
It gets me every time knowing those poor souls were literally confined. I also want to acknowledge those men who went out of their way to save so many women and children knowing they were most likely going to die themselves.
My grandmother's uncle and first cousin - his son - returned to the US on the Titanic, and both died. The son had graduated from college in England and his father came to his graduation. They were coming home to Massachusetts, but of course never made it.

My grand uncle was on the Titanic. 36 years old,and was going to St Louis .Missouri.His mother died two weeks before he left Co Clare Ireland, His body was never recovered. I have erected a stone memorial for him,on his nephew's and niece's grave, with a sculpture of the ship. RIP all.
Guess I’m lucky. My mums family left Ireland from county Clare in 1848. They left for Australia. There is info that a single girl , aged 16 , left later to join them. Wow! How brave these people were. Her name was Ellen Bartlett. I can’t remember the name of the ship but it started with an ‘M’. May they Rest In Peace - such a tragedy. The bit about them having a party is just heart breaking . I don’t know if it’s right to say that at least they were having fun to start with. The bravery of people shone through. 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Kathleen Keene. Thank uou so much . I’ll look that iPad, my son would love it. A cousin of mine was doing the family tree , it was during the big floods Queensland had. They had to evacuate quickly and her research was left behind. Start again time 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👵👵❤️❤️❤️

Countless documentaries I've watched about the Titanic and not one time have I ever heard about the Addergoole 14. Thank you for telling their story.
I love the way the town chose to honor their ancestors by walking together through town to the church & ringing the bell. So healing.

I agree. It brought me to tears it was so beautiful.

Whenever Titanic is mentioned in film and documentaries it’s always the wealthy they mention. How fabulous is this documentary that centres on the less fortunate passengers to tell their story. RIP to all the poor souls who lost their lives in this tragedy.

This is one of the most compelling documentaries about the Titanic I've ever seen. It touches on the human aspect beautifully.
Very true!!! Very informative and touching documentary! I've always been interested in the Titanic ♥️
I think that I've been a fan ever since I first saw the 1997 movie, or reading about it in the Magic Treehouse series (whichever came first) In any case, this was definitely a wonderfully done documentary, I've seen a good number of them, but they focus more on the technical why it happened, sure they might talk about the losses, but many just refer to them in a statistical manner, "yes it's sad, so many losses, but anyways back to this handy chart we made..." (okay maybe not quite that bad, but the point still stands). The actors who played the 14 and the other passengers added an extra level of depth that most others don't, a human depth that even the fancy graphics of the videos from the game Titanic Honor and Glory (which is going to be fantastic when it's done) can't match.
@Floyd1504 saving the Titanic is a movie not a documentary
@@sandy4498
Actually, the producers of Saving The Titanic themselves refer to it as a docudrama .. and it IS a wonderfully 'dramatised documentary' - so the term does make good sense.
I agree. This documentary is outstanding.
I can’t imagine saving every penny for years to send my daughter to another country for a real future, knowing I’d realistically never see her again, only to hear of her death on her voyage to the promised land…. Heartbreaking
Right!!
I’ve forever been interested in the Titanic….the grass was always greener on the other side so because those poor Irish folk jumped at the chance of a new life…unfortunately they boarded the fated Titanic!
Such a wonderful life was waiting for them all in the New World….just so sad…May God’s blessings follow the anguished next of kin …a loss that could not be forgotten,ever.
Really is crazy when you think about it
I'm not from ireland, and this is nothing to do with Titanic, but I have an awesome notebook from a family member leaving for America in 1873. Her friends all wrote personal and heartfelt eulogycies, poems, memories of things they did growing up, and so on. Twice as touching as any funeral I've ever been to. She chose a ticket and pocket money over her father paying for a wedding, and I would like to imagine he was proud of her as well.
So many today complain and rant about the most petty things, not getting how fortunate they are being born in this time of the world, and where they were born, as many today live horrors we couldn't imagine.
This is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen about the Titanic. I too, have always been fascinated about the lives of the passengers. But, next to nothing is known about 3rd class passengers. Thank you so much for telling this remarkable story.
I agree ❣️
Read a book
3RD Class Passengers Locked In Below!!!CONFIRMED by Submersibles In Documentary!!!Murder.
There are many shows/documentaries about the sinking but not so much the actual lives of those onboard. That is what is fascinating to me and what I want to learn about.
Yes it is and this is a criminal case of MASS MURDER
As an Irish woman, I couldn't help but cry through the whole video. Their dreams, Their hopes and Their future Gone! Thank God! They are remembered with love and deep affection. Those who did make it must have had many a torturous nightmare. God Bless them all.
I did too.😥🌺
Me too😔 I will carry their story with me. May those that lost their lives..May their names be remembered forever
Sending love from southern Australia xxoo
God Bless you ,,,

And I Love the pure toughness and grit of my ancestors

I was born on April 15th many decades after the sinking of the Titanic, but every year since I was a teenager and learned that the Titanic sank on my birthday I have made it a tradition to say a Rosary for all the precious ones who died that day. May their souls rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon them.
I was also born on15th April always found it sad on that day

Also April 10th...
The day the Titanic set out on her maiden voyage.That day should be noted too
I started crying when it showed them eating at the table in 3rd class. The first time they had a meal like that with silver cutlery and toilets and washrooms. They were so excited and then they died with all these wonderful dreams for their future. I’m so glad their town in Ireland honor them each year to never be forgotten. This huge mansion about 5 mins down the street from me was sold to the owners of New Balance tennis shoe. The family that owned it before died on the Titanic. No one really in my neighborhood even knows that story. It would be so great if we did something to honor them but it’s like they are forgotten.
Nobody from Titanic is forgotten
🥲
I heard that the first class passengers didnt have flush toilets
I'm still incredulous that these people living in poverty managed to save up the equivalent of £700, even if it did take 3 years. Someone living on Universal Credit in the UK these days would have no chance of saving that amount. Why were they considered poor if they had surplus money? I don't understand
@@vmm5163 1 person vs the combined effort of 14+ saving up...
It's good to be able to hear about the stories behind the folks "in the lower cabins." For all my childhood and other adult years, that's all I've ever heard them described as. The rich folks had names, jobs, and titles. The lower classes were just lower classes; an unnamed, poor monolith.
As an adult, I want to hear their lives. Because in many ways, I'm them in the present; because minimum wage workers are the backbone of every country; and mostly, because humans are all humans. There isn't more or less value to them depending on income.
So thank you.

She got out of the boat, went alllll the way back down to steerage, grabbed the hat, went alllll the way back up to the chaos, found a rope, lowered herself into a boat that was already almost in the water and saved herself. I call that a Superwoman move!

I don't think Annie McGowan risked going back to her room to merely fetch a hat. In my opinion, it was more than a hat: it was her last present from her mother that she badly wanted to hold onto as a memory, for she was unlikely to see her again.

I thought the same, it wasn't the hat but what it represented.
I've always been fascinated by the Titanic, but this is the first documentary I've seen which really brought to life the reality for not only those on board, but those left behind. So well made and so emotional
The part of the American wakes made me a little sad the fact that those early Irish immigrants never returned home after coming to America puts into perspective just how much they had given up for a better life, I really hope American Irish today travel back to Ireland one time in their lives just to make the journey back that their ancestors most likely didn't make
Also real sweet of their village to honor them every year
1912 does not denote early Irish immigrants.
They may have made it to America, but most of them could never afford a round trip ticket back to Ireland. If they were going back to Ireland, it was one way. They were going to stay there.
lora 1111 damn right about that the people doing the most are normally ones right up under you nose fluently... but most people don’t want to speak of those things. The just talk of “strangers”.
What about all the other 3rd Class immigrants from other countries such as England, Italy, Sweden, Holland? The list goes on...
@@julianneale6128 what about them?
When I was a little girl, I remember my parents discussing our neighbors who had miraculously survived this disaster. We were cautioned not to ask them questions about it, because it still evoked such painful memories of lost friends and family members. That was my introduction to this "forbidden" topic. When their son became a teenager, he shared his parent's memories of this tragedy, and something in my child's mind realized what a devastating event this was. Those voices are mostly lost, now, so these documentaries are wonderful tributes to all the survivors of the Titanic's calamity, and a poignant eulogy for lost lives.
It's quite something. So many survivors chose never to speak of the incident again. I know there's barely a peep from Astor about anything remotely pertaining to Titanic and so many were similar to her. It's sad how deeply this terrible event shook the world. :(
It still has an effect on many of the families even now.
Jeanette - that's how people dealt with sorrow in those days.....they just didn't talk about it.

When the Titanic sank, my Grandmother was on a ship sailing from England to Australia. The ship she was on received the distress signal from Titanic, but was too far away to intervene. They were at the time still fairly close to England.
The last remaining survivor of the Titanic was Millvina Dean she was 97 and died in Southampton in 2009 of pneumonia,she had lived her life in Ashurst,Southampton. My Uncle lived in Ashurst too,and they were neighbours and friends. He told me all about her and her life. Millvina was a small baby when aboard the Titanic at the time of its sinking.
She was 2 month's old at the time of sinking

This is fake news. I survived the titanic and was the same age as Milvina. I was a little baby boy at the time of sinking and now in 111 years old.
I took care of a woman named Pauline Yohawn who's husband had tickets for the titanic. He wasn't allowed to board as a young child. Because they did not serve Swedish food. His mother took another liner. And they kept the tickets. They are now in a museum donated after death by family.

Thank you for posting this documentary. What a story, about hopeful, ordinary people and the chances and choices they made. My Dad's uncle was on the Carpathian, the first ship to the disaster that picked up survivors. My Dad said he couldn't talk about it, it sounds like he had PTSD from the experience.

how wonderful to hear the story of third class passengers, a very insightful and thoughtful documentary about the human reality of this tragedy. I was very touched by the way the villagers still remember Titanic today.
There are thousands of books, videos and stories told documenting the how, who, why, and when of the concept and building of the Titanic ship but the stories that really matter are those told about the people of the ship.
I hate China so much if this is true
Agree
It is about both people and ship.
or the people after this disaster
I watched the movie version of this story & in my opinion the captain of the ship neglected his passengers because they were having a party then & the ship's crew only realized that the ship is coliiding with the iceberg. But it was too late. This was the movie version.
Hands down the best documentary about the victims of Titanic...
Great Doc ! My Grandmothers best friend was on Titanic and survived.She was Bridget Mulvill, but she was called Daisy by family and friends. I believe that she had emigrated to the US and had come back to Athlone for her sisters wedding and was returning on Titanic. She was a third class passenger and boarded one of the last lifeboats. In subsequent letters to my grandmother she only referred to it once as `that terrible night`.
I imagine that terrible night had many horrors one would love to forget. God bless your Grandmother's best friend and God bless you❤❤❤
A very sad story indeed.
That’s Amazing,,!!!
I found her and read her life story. Her family didn’t even know she was on Titanic until they notice her name in the list of survivors because she was going to surprise her sister for the Wedding. The last name is spelt on the Titanic encyclopedia as Mulvihill.
This is one of the most touching Titanic documentaries I've ever watched.
Delia McDermott and Annie McGowan both escaped in Lifeboat 13, which was launched overloaded with 70 people. It was one of four lifeboats Officer Murdoch managed to launch filled to capacity, the others being Lifeboats 11 and 15, and Collapsible C. These four boats combined saved 265 lives, over one third of the survivors
That’s crazy. It’s too bad the first several lifeboats that launched were grossly under filled.
Wow God bless captain murdoc for taking how many people that he really really could god bless his sole😢... Sad that the other captains did not fill the boats more to try save more life's 😢
God bless all those people and shame on White Star Line for their greedy, heartless acts towards the survivors.
Nowadays what the White Star LIne did wouldn't hold up in court. Even though they got these people to sign these documents, they were in the hospital receiving treatment and truly in no condition to think clearly. White Star LIne took total advantage of that too. In today's world, the survivors could argue successfully that they signed under duress and have it thrown out. Times have changed!
@@jokerswild4577 : airlines and cruise ships also have shamefully cheap payout histories.
This made me clench my fist immediately, when I heard they made them sign papers to only be given $25. I can't use words to describe these White Star leeches without using expletives, so I'll say no more.
holly renee yup
Utterly deplorable way for the White Star Line to behave towards the survivors, absolutely disgraceful!
Thank you this beautiful and touching documentary. I've always been fascinated with the Titanic since I was a child and this shows the tragedy in a tasteful yet emotional way. My heart goes out to all the victims but I love how a small town in Ireland still remember and memorialize their 14 citizens over a century later. 💙🇮🇪🇺🇸⛴️
The fact that they’re still coming together in the end 100 years later gathering in this village to honor the 14th ancestors of the S who didn’t make it it touches me it really touches me it makes me so emotional it makes me so emotional
This is the best documentary ive ever seen focused on survivors life
This story should be told by Hollywood, not made up jewels and people that didn't exist in real life because it made for a good story. Kudos to the folks here in the US and Ireland for speaking about and honoring their relatives.
Watch a Night to Remember a movie written and produced by an Irish man . One of the tales is about a typical Irish family. It's a more accurate movie.
the movie Titanic is brilliant and beautiful though. no need to knock it.
You are referring to the Anglo-Irish upper class who tried to eliminate the native Irish, their language, and their heritage ....they failed.
@@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401 That's because tough people survive. A lot of those rich folks who made it to safety.... well... where are they now?

My grandfathers cousin survived but was traumatized for the rest of her life. Lucy Ridsdale was middle aged and traveled as a governess.She was used as an example in the National Archives Museum as to what the typical 2nd class passenger lost in belongings and how much she sued the ships builder for loss and damages. Our family has memorabilia, when Lucy’s sister wrote to my family two weeks after the sinking to let them know how Lucy was doing as she recovered at her sisters home in Ohio. Family elders have the original dated letter, I and others have a copy which I cherish. Lucy’s plight has led me to a number of discoveries about the tragedy, waking me to truths many are not ready to hear yet.

How did you get the part in this documentary?! Are you from the town that this documentary is based on?!
I was a member of "Mayo Youth Theatre" when the producer of this documentary approached me and fellow members. Mayo is the county in which this documentary takes place. Addergoole is the village, not even a town. With the lack of villagers and buildings in Addergoole in 1912, it probably wasn't even considered a village. I could be wrong there. And no, I am not from the immediate area. I'm from another remote area within the county of Mayo.

Coming back for the 3rd time to watch this. I know a lot of people died on the Titanic, and a lot of families were affected, but it breaks my heart when I think of those 14 families in their mourning, the absolute devastation and loss.. So sad.
Really touching documentary , I really found it interesting to learn about these survivors lives after the sinking , what happened to them and how they were affected by this tragedy throughout their lives. It is an overlooked part of the story, I feel, I have never before heard any information about survivors and what these people went through afterward . Excellently narrated and the story was so well told .

Im Norwegian and my ancestors grew up in north of Norway where a lot of them worked at sea. Many they knew died at sea, and my great grandmother was always terrified of the water. She never learned how to swim. Its a common thing for that generation here, which now is a generation long gone

My whole life I have felt a connection to this ship.
I was born - in Belfast - on 1st September 1985 - the very day she was discovered at the bottom of the Atlantic. My great grandfather worked at Harland and Wolff and possibly helped build her.
Perhaps you died on the ship in a previous life.. i know i did or at least in very similar circumstances. However i’ve always been drawn to the story of the titanic most likely because my soul knows.. even if i only know shards of my previous life.. i remember how i died in a room filling with water and drowned after being unable to move due to the cold water. The door couldn’t open due to the water on the other side.. i probably tried to open it wich is why the water flooded in. And i’m guessing i might have slept trough the whole thing only realising till it was too late

The beginning of this documentary made this relatable to me, my great great grandfather and great great grandmother both immigrated from Ireland to the US (New York) around the time of the Titanic (They didn't travel together, they met and married in New York). This realistically could have happened to either one of them
My ancestors left Irealnd in 1863 and settled in New Zealand. There were more than enough tragedies accompanying their fresh start, even though they had no ha;;mark experiences like this. It really gives pause for thought. Touching documentary, and well done.
I start feeling happy for them that they get to immigrate, and then I remember that they're going on the Titanic and only three will survive. It's so sad hearing about them all and wondering which ones will make it. I haven't finished it yet.
Edit: This was so sad it made me cry while baking cookies. Baking cookies is usually happy, but for some reason I thought listening to a documentary about the Titanic while I do it would be a great idea. I don't regret it though. I always roll my eyes when people say history is boring, it's all about how you present it really, its unfortunate that schools only seem to care about memorizing names and dates.
Very true. I love history one of my favorite subjects in school. When I was younger my Mum made me study the Tudors. And made me read every single book. And now I study any part of history. I think it's very important.
You are an "Empath" -
Look it up. 💫
I agree, a good history instructor wants to show how and why we got where we are, and while I do think that there are many out there who want to do it, but due to funding and the opinions of the higher-ups all that matters are passing grades, no passion, no memory, just enough to get the students through to graduation. In any case, this was definitely a wonderfully done documentary, I've seen a good number of them, but they focus more on the technical why it happened, sure they might talk about the losses, but many just refer to them in a statistical manner, "yes it's sad, so many losses, but anyways back to this handy chart we made..." (okay maybe not quite that bad, but the point still stands).
Beth Bartlett to. It's a rare blessing Beth to be full of empathy! If we all had a pinch of empathy,This world would be a beautiful world to live in ! God Bless you and your family Beth!
Only 2,208 servide 1,503 died
I'm related to Lucy Ridsdale, she survived. Her cabin was on E Deck and shared her room with Mary Davis. They both escaped on lifeboat 13 and were picked up by the Carpathia. Lucy wasn't meant to be on the Titanic but due to the strikes at the time her original ship didn't sail so she was offered a ticket for the Titanic instead.
that’s fascinating. thank you for sharing.
Yes a lot of passengers were transferred due to coal strikes. White Star chose to not honor the strikes.
Incredible documentary. As someone who has always followed the story of Titantic since I was a child, this documentary was the best one I’ve seen, and it brought Titantic and it’s passengers to life more than anything I’ve seen or read. Thank you so much for sharing this story. 🙏
Now this was a real documentary. Real people and the truth of the tragedy so many profited off. Outstanding story.
This is one of the most well-done documentaries I’ve seen. Thank you to all the people who put this together, for safeguarding the memories and presenting these histories!
Great story. I am so thankful to have stumbled on it. It's wonderful to know these people are memorialized in a thoughtful ceremony every year.
This is a great horrific story that doesn't need to be forgotten. I've always been facinated with Titanic. I have Irish ancestry. Very good video.
Thank you for sharing their stories. They live on forever when we never forget. RIP. I’m so sorry this happened to you all. You deserved so much more. Also I absolutely adore how the town honors them, true love and community.
I like the human element to this video. It's everyday people that tell the true story of history in my opinion, I do have a degree in it. Everyday accounts make it real, and the majority were not rich so the everyday accounts of the common people I feel are the true backbone to history. I personally feel when we hear from them they add so much more to the narrative if that makes sense.
The people then did not think it wrong to sacrifice
For each other
The pregnant lady lost her life and her baby. It is just so sad. I have no relatives from the tatanic but it is absolutely terrible in that moment of death wow overwhelming
Just tragic. R.I.P to every single person that lost their lives on that ship💗
This is so cool how it shows what life was like in Ireland during this time period. I always questioned why so many people were emigrating and I kind of knew why but never saw it like this
So moved by this one. Well done and brilliantly brought to life. My grandparentscame to America before the Titanic. My granny got very sick on ship but made it . They passed after I was born.
This was an extremely well put together documentary .
Thank You
💔
The bell ringing for those that passed was beautiful ❤
What a truly amazing perspective this documentary showed about Addergoole. What a wonderful thing they do each year. Brought tears to my eyes! Bless them all they have not been forgotten!
Beautiful film. Makes me proud to have Irish heritage.
I'm proud to be an Irish woman... We defo have strong hearts and souls.. God rest you all... I hope u are all safe with god now. Xx
That was so fascinating. My husband's grandma's aunty was Delia McDermott, I would love to have been able to tell her more about Delia.
What a heartbreaking and magnificent telling of this horrible tragedy. I thought I'd seen all there was to view on the Titanic. This will be one I will watch again. Rest in Peace Beautiful souls.
I’ve always been in awe of this tragedy . I’ve seen documentaries, read books and have seen the exhibit when it came to St. Louis several years ago.... it was a profound & emotional experience . So too was learning of the yearly ritual of the village community.... to honor those they lost that fateful night.... April 15 , 1912 @ 2:20 a.m. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is brilliantly done! May they all Rest In Peace.
The passengers on the Titanic were exactly like my Grandfather who immigrated from Poland in June 1912, 1 1/2 months after the sinking, on the SS Kroonland, one of the ships who radioed an ice warning to the Titanic, or my Uncle's father, who immigrated on the SS Bremen in April 1912 and sailed through the Titanic's debris just days after the sinking. If you know your family's story, the Titanic is a very real story, because it could have just as easily been them!
My Irish grandmother was born in 1902 and was 10 when Titanic sunk. She lived till the age of 100 and died in 2002. Even at the age of 100 she could recall people she knew who travelled down from Co. Mayo where she was from to Co. Cork Ireland to go on the Titanic. All those who did were 3rd class passengers and perished.
There are 150 Titanic victims buried in Halifax Nova Scotia in Canada. The man who cared for their bodies treated them with great respect and carefully recorded their physical descriptions and what they were wearing and the valuables they carried on them. White Star begrudgingly eventually paid for their little grey head stones.
White Star goes down the hall of shame as one of the worst companies ever. Greed and self interest.
That man deserves an honor ❤
I would be horrified and scared for life hearing those screams!!! I myself AM afraid of drowning but not afraid of the water.... That would give me nightmares for the rest of my life.
Monsters for locking those poor people until the lifeboats had gone .RIPxxx
Who said they were locked? Hollywood?
Gie Campbel the pictures of closed gates
I almost hate to make apologies for Titanic's crew for that, but they didn't lock them down there to purposely keep them away from the lifeboats. Immigration laws of the time required third class passengers to be kept separate from those in the other classes. Add to that a crew that was only haphazardly informed of the danger to the ship*, and it was kind-of inevitable they would have kept the gates locked.
*In the early phases of the disaster at least, knowledge of the ship's true condition was mostly kept to the officers. A crewmember in the stern didn't even know they were launching lifeboats until he saw one row away.
"Every Titanic movie depicts third-class passengers trapped behind floor-to-ceiling gates. Careful examination of available plans of Olympic and Titanic reveals no such gates in passenger areas. U.S. immigration regulations required segregation of third class from first and second - the former faced Ellis Island inspection; all others landed directly at the pier. On Titanic, waist-high gates separated classes. Stewards nearby prevented gate-jumping. Eventually, they left to help in the evacuation, leaving gates unguarded, explaining a surge of third-class passengers onto the boat deck after most lifeboats had left. One author plotted more than 20 paths from third-class areas to the boat deck.
The high third-class death toll resulted primarily from language barriers, natural obedience to authority figures, refusal to leave male loved ones behind and the absence of communication."
Quote from Charles A. Haas, who has co-authored with John P. Eaton five acclaimed books about Titanic. In 1993, Haas was the first teacher to dive to Titanic's wreck and he serves today as president of Titanic International Society, based in Midland Park.
I've been fascinated by the Titanic for a long time. I've also met groups and gathered people who were into the Titanic. The Addregoole 14 story gripped me, so I wrote a poem about them. It is a curious thing that while doing a family search, I learned that some of my ancestors immigrated to Chicago in 1905. Unfortunately, I have not been able to contact their descendants.
Went back for the hat and actually managed to get back on a life boat. That is amazing.
Very foolish in my opinion she could have toppled the full boat that she drop down into....for a hat!!
Edith Russel went back for her Pig music box... a gift from her mom. If not for a crew member throwing the pig into the lifeboat, she would've drowned. During the night she played its music for the crying children.
@@arturobuco Yeah, I understand that thing was of sentimental value to her. But, if I were her I wouldn't have gone back for it. It's too risky in a situation like that and she could've saved up for a new one, when she arrived in New York.
That was a ballsy move and it paid off
@@tiamarie6719 I think nobody can predict how they're going to react in a stressful, life or death situation like this. That hat might be all she could think of like you might have brought something like your grandmother's wedding dress and that could be all you can think of
That was so sad. I admit I cried when they were leaving home. I know how they must have felt. May all those who perished on the Titanic rest in peace. 🌹
I remember watching a documentary a while back, and one of the survivors described the screaming like that which you'd hear at a ballpark. She lived in Brooklyn, near Ebbet's Field where the Dodgers played. She said that the roar of the crowd during a homerun or crazy play would trigger her. Saying that that's exactly what those screams sounded like. Only they weren't cheering, they were dying and pleading for help. To this day, I still imagine what that "death roar" must've sounded like, and it just chills me to my core - no pun intended. Seriously though, it's just so frightening to imagine. It's also probably the best way to describe that sound.
I had been looking for a doc on titanic I had never see before I have watch them all!!! This was really good a different angle
I used to commute through an old Virginia town, Clifton. There's a house there, plaque attached, it belonged to a man who worked with the mail on board Titanic. He went down with the ship.
Jack Phillips ?

@@kennashan ok
Wow, such an amazing documentary. I am touched and I've learned to not take America for granted.
What a great documentary! It really touched me that this is about people in the Titanic and not like any other documentary that discusses why and how the ship sank. It's easy to forget about how the they felt and focus only on the ship itself, this gives a whole other perspective for the accident. Well done!
Let us not forget the ones who have gone before us❣️
It gets me every time knowing those poor souls were literally confined. I also want to acknowledge those men who went out of their way to save so many women and children knowing they were most likely going to die themselves.
My grandmother's uncle and first cousin - his son - returned to the US on the Titanic, and both died. The son had graduated from college in England and his father came to his graduation. They were coming home to Massachusetts, but of course never made it.
