[218] Crowds of weeping women the wives, sisters and mothers of crew gathered outside the White Star offices in Southampton for news of their loved ones. No. In this episode I present a likely alternative history drawing from real-life events and the career of other ships similar to Olympic and Titanic.Support me on Patreon!https://www.patreon.com/oceanlinerdesignsOceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of historys greatest ocean liners from Titanic to Queen Mary but not forgetting the likes of Empress of Ireland or Chusan. The evidence behind these theories is Rms Titanic. [55] Those on the lowest decks, nearest the site of the collision, felt it much more directly. Around 30 minutes after colliding with the iceberg, the two bands were called by Captain Smith who ordered them to play in the first class lounge. So what if we just sent the Olympic out instead, sank that hoe, claim some insurance money and then just scrap the Titanic like it was the Olympic for some spare parts.. 5 when, at around 00:45, the bunker door separating it from the flooded No. There was a delay before either order went into effect; the steam-powered steering mechanism took up to 30seconds to turn the ship's tiller,[23] and the complex task of setting the engines into reverse would also have taken some time to accomplish. Titanic was only designed to float with any two compartments flooded, but she could remain afloat with certain combinations of three or even four compartments the first four open to the ocean. I'm working Cape Race. [76] Many passengers and crew were reluctant to comply, either refusing to believe that there was a problem or preferring the warmth of the ship's interior to the bitterly cold night air. Above the tank top level, on the Orlop Deck, F Deck and E Deck, the doors closed horizontally and were manually operated. ", "Toppling Theories, Scientists Find 6 Slits, Not Big Gash, Sank, "In Weak Rivets, a Possible Key to Titanic's Doom", "Passenger List and Survivors of Steamship, "Report on the Loss of the "Titanic." Id still love to do a queer Titanic! He rang the lookout bell three times and telephoned the bridge to inform Sixth Officer James Moody. She was reaching for retirement and they knew that. They just tack two more on for funsies? The RMSTitanic sank in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, five days into her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. [175] Ballard argued that many other survivors' accounts indicated that the ship had broken in two as she was sinking. The forward part of the stern will have flooded very rapidly, causing it to tilt and then settle briefly until sinking. Throughout James Camerons film, many characters voice the myth of the Titanic s unsinkability out loud. [198] Lowe and his crew found four men still alive, one of whom died shortly afterwards. The ship had been a symbol of Belfast's industrial achievements, and there was not only a sense of grief but also one of guilt, as those who had built Titanic came to feel they had been responsible in some way for her loss. Mia believes no one really knew what the interior of the Titanic actually looked like, except for the people who built it suggesting that it would have been easy to flip the two. No. The app is banned on some college campuses and government devices as Congress debates its future. [52][53], Above the waterline, there was little evidence of the collision. The footage was taken 37 years ago, but only just released to the public. Just like the Olympic. Captain Edward Smith was the captain of the ship at that time. These injured and possibly killed some of the swimmers; others used the debris to try to keep themselves afloat. 4, having remained near the sinking ship, seems to have been closest to the site of the sinking at around 50 metres (160ft) away; this had enabled two people to drop into the boat and another to be picked up from the water before the ship sank. 6, told the women aboard his boat that there was no point returning as there were "only a lot of stiffs there". Upon its re-release in 3D on the weekend of 1315 April 2012, 100 years after the sinking, the film became the second to pass the $2billion threshold in box office takes. Distress flares were fired every few minutes to attract the attention of any ships nearby and the radio operators repeatedly sent the distress signal CQD. Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, I dont think it would have made that much of a difference. Many ships sank: The Empress of Ireland sank i The radio operator, Jack Phillips, may have failed to grasp its significance because he was preoccupied with transmitting messages for passengers via the relay station at Cape Race, Newfoundland; the radio set had broken down the day before, resulting in a backlog of messages that the two operators were trying to clear. Titanic's disintegration during her descent to the seabed caused buoyant chunks of debris timber beams, wooden doors, furniture, panelling and chunks of cork from the bulkheads to rocket to the surface. 4 iron rivets, and more prone to snapping when put under stress, particularly in extreme cold. [66] Andrews informed the captain that the first five compartments were flooded, and therefore Titanic was doomed. It was widely believed that ice posed little risk; close calls were not uncommon, and even head-on collisions had not been disastrous. It would be [221], In the aftermath of the sinking, public inquiries were set up in Britain and the United States. Titanic received six warnings of sea ice on 14 April but was travelling about 22 knots when her lookouts sighted the iceberg. First Officer Willaim Murdoch ordered the ship to be steered around the iceberg and the engines to be stopped, but there wasnt enough time. [62] Several sources later contended that upon grasping the enormity of what was about to happen, Captain Smith became paralysed by indecision, had a mental breakdown or nervous collapse, and became lost in a trance-like daze, rendering him ineffective and inactive in attempting to mitigate the loss of life. [150], Part of the enduring folklore of the Titanic sinking is that the musicians played the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee" as the ship sank, but this appears to be dubious. This movement with the water rushing up toward us was accompanied by a rumbling roar, mixed with more muffled explosions. [101], Meanwhile, other crewmen fought to maintain vital services as water continued to pour into the ship below decks. If Titanic had never sunk, she would have gone on as a prestigious liner on the North Atlantic passenger run. During World War I, she would have be [128] Leading Fireman Charles Hendrickson saw crowds of third-class passengers below decks with their trunks and possessions, as if waiting for someone to direct them. [213] Memorials were raised in various places New York, Washington, Southampton, Liverpool, Belfast and Lichfield, among others[214] and ceremonies were held on both sides of the Atlantic to commemorate the dead and raise funds to aid the survivors. [108], The lifeboats were lowered every few minutes on each side, but most of the boats were greatly under-filled. Titanic Conspiracy: The Ship that Never Sank Was the Titanic swapped with its sister ship the Olympic as part of an insurance scam? Why had Ismay saved his own life when so many others died? The Olympic was on the water for a while. [234] Numerous expeditions have been launched to film the wreck and, controversially, to salvage objects from the debris field. [10], By the time Titanic departed westwards across the Atlantic she was carrying 892crew members and 1,320passengers. The sinking of the Titanic on 15 April 1912 is remembered more than a century later as one of the biggest disasters in history: the hubris of the vessel nick-named "The Unsinkable" burst by a collision with an iceberg, and the deaths of 1,496 people on board. And then we have the Olympic and the Titanic. There were 1,036 survivors. WebIn 1912, right after the Titanic s crash, the United States government passed the Radio Act. That same year, Titanic's future captain, Edward Smith, declared in an interview that he could not "imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. [153] In contrast, Archibald Gracie emphatically denied it in his own account, written soon after the sinking, and Radio Operator Harold Bride said that he had heard the band playing ragtime, then "Autumn",[154] by which he may have meant Archibald Joyce's then-popular waltz "Songe d'Automne" (Autumn Dream). Titanic investor JP Morgan He was said to have cancelled his trip due to illness just a few days before the voyage, but was later found that he was in fact in perfect health seen in town the day that Titanic sunk. We have the Titanic, the Olympic and the Britannic, she adds. The Britannic was the first to go it was a war ship and people say it was struck by like a land mine in the water. Just like different colors. "[137] After he evicted them by threatening them with his revolver (which was empty), he was unable to find enough women and children to fill the boat[137] and lowered it with only 25 people on board out of a possible capacity of 40. First Officer Willaim Murdoch ordered the ship to be steered around the iceberg and the engines to be stopped, but there wasnt enough time. Colonel Archibald Gracie, one of the survivors of the disaster, later wrote that "the sea was like glass, so smooth that the stars were clearly reflected. [114], By 01:20, the seriousness of the situation was now apparent to the passengers above decks, who began saying their goodbyes, with husbands escorting their wives and children to the lifeboats. The two radio operators nonetheless continued sending out distress messages almost to the very end. Yet the luminaries who were supposedly Some had been sent below to open gangway doors to allow more passengers to be evacuated, but they never returned. A viral video that has amassed more than 11 million views on TikTok is claiming a very convincing theory that the actual Titanic never sank. > Tim Maltin", "Testimony of Mrs J Stuart White at the US Inquiry", "Day 6 Testimony of Frederick Scott (Greaser, SS Titanic)", "Testimony of Henry James Moore at the US Inquiry", "Day 9 Testimony of Edward Brown (First Class Steward, SS Titanic)", "Testimony of Harold Bride at the US Inquiry", Findings: Titanic victims in 'cold shock', "SCREAMS, THEN SEA'S SILENCE, STILL HAUNT 5 SURVIVORS OF TITANIC", "Titanic becomes second ever film to take $2 billion", "Lost child of the Titanic and the fraud that haunted her family", "Did the Titanic Sink Because of an Optical Illusion? She deleted it, but the clip continued to spread, showing how misinformation circulates on the app. [62] He also ordered the radio operators to begin sending distress calls, which wrongly placed the ship on the west side of the ice belt and directed rescuers to a position that turned out to be inaccurate by about 13.5 nautical miles (15.5mi; 25.0km). WebOn 15 April 1912, the Titanic sank after striking an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. [200] It became steadily more difficult for the rest to keep their balance on the hull, with waves washing across it. [93] The crew was unprepared for the emergency, as lifeboat training had been minimal. deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history, International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, United States Senate inquiry into the sinking of the RMS Titanic, British Wreck Commissioner's inquiry into the sinking of the RMS Titanic, Changes in safety practices after the sinking of the RMS Titanic, "A New Look at Nature's Role in the Titanic's Sinking", "Were Titanic's engines put into reverse before the accident? Almost all of those who jumped or fell into the water drowned or died within minutes due to the effects of cold shock and incapacitation. [149] Titanic had two separate bands of musicians. [183], With a temperature of 2C (28F), the water was lethally cold. Some, perhaps overwhelmed by it all, made no attempt to escape and stayed in their cabins or congregated in prayer in the third-class dining room. Her sinking two [14] Many of those who did survive owed their lives to third-class steward John Edward Hart, who organised three trips into the ship's interior to escort groups of third-class passengers up to the boat deck. [226], Neither inquiry found negligence by the parent company, International Mercantile Marine Co., or the White Star Line (which owned Titanic) to be a factor. The night that changed everything. [3], The passenger accommodation, especially the First Class section, was said to be "of unrivalled extent and magnificence",[4] indicated by the fares that First Class accommodation commanded. "[197] For some survivors, the dead silence that followed was worse even than the cries for help. I'll get a seat in another boat!" "[56] Fireman George Kemish heard a "heavy thud and grinding tearing sound" from the starboard hull. [231], Titanic's sinking has become a cultural phenomenon, commemorated by artists, film-makers, writers, composers, musicians and dancers from the time immediately after the sinking to the present day. There were 1,036 survivors. The problem with helium is it's relatively rare. I dont think we can say how the Titanic passengers would have influenced America but we can say, unequivocally, that they would have had an infl [136], The last boat to be launched was collapsible D, which left at 02:05 with 25people aboard;[138] two more men jumped on the boat as it was being lowered. WebWhat if the Titanic Never Sank? [32] The lookouts were nonetheless well aware of the ice hazard, as Lightoller had ordered them and other crew members to "keep a sharp look-out for ice, particularly small ice and growlers". The doomed ship sank on April 14, 1912, resulting in the Mia suggests there were some people who knew the ship was going to sink, including banker J.P Morgan and chocolatier Milton Hershey, both of who cancelled their trips on the Titanic. Unsure what the rockets meant, he called Captain Lord, who was resting in the chartroom, and reported the sighting. The luxury ocean liner infamously sunk on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City on an icy April night in 1912, resulting in the perishing of more than 1,500 passengers and crew. Titanic's maiden voyage began shortly after noon on 10 April 1912 when she left Southampton on the first leg of her journey to New York. They look identical, Mia continues in the video. Elsewhere, air could be heard being forced out by inrushing water. Collapsible D rescued one male passenger who jumped in the water and swam over to the boat immediately after it had been lowered. [181], In the immediate aftermath of the sinking, hundreds of passengers and crew were left dying in the icy sea, surrounded by debris from the ship. Mia then describes some notable people who decided last-minute not to get on the Titanic, including J.P. Morgan the prominent banker, and who was ironically the owner of the White Star Line. He gave up on the idea of going aft and jumped into the water to get away from the crowd. [6] An accident was narrowly averted only a few minutes later, as Titanic passed the moored liners SSCity of New York of the American Line and Oceanic of the White Star Line, the latter of which would have been her running mate on the service from Southampton. It was said to have reached an angle of 3045degrees,[168] "revolving apparently around a centre of gravity just astern of midships", as Lawrence Beesley later put it. [69] When the passageway was fully flooded, the list corrected itself but the ship later began to list to port by up to ten degrees as that side also flooded asymmetrically. Steven Roberts. The 30 or more men on collapsible B finally managed to board two other lifeboats, but one survivor died just before the transfer was made. Its occupants had to sit for hours in a foot of freezing water,[143] and many died of hypothermia during the night. [9] She left in the afternoon after taking on more passengers and stores. [116] Another to respond was SS Mount Temple, which set a course and headed for Titanic's position but was stopped en route by pack ice. [65], Within 45 minutes of the collision, at least 13,500 long tons (13,700t) of water had entered the ship. This was only about half of her full passenger capacity of 2,435,[11] as it was the low season and shipping from the UK had been disrupted by a coal miners' strike. Lists had been posted on the ship assigning crew members to specific lifeboat stations, but few appeared to have read them or to have known what they were supposed to do. It was struck by a torpedo by a German U-boat and it sank., As you can see, she resembles the Titanic. . The engine rooms and boiler rooms on the tank top deck had vertically closing doors that could be controlled remotely from the bridge, lowered automatically by a float if water was present, or closed manually by the crew. He was sucked into the mouth of a ventilation shaft but was blown clear by "a terrific blast of hot air" and emerged next to the capsized lifeboat. "[131] This was Titanic's last intelligible signal, sent as the ship's electrical system began to fail; subsequent messages were jumbled and unintelligible. 4, at around 01:20 according to survivor Trimmer George Cavell, water began flooding in from the metal floor plates below, possibly indicating that the bottom of the ship had also been holed by the iceberg. The figures show stark differences in the survival rates between men and women, and of the different classes aboard Titanic, especially among women and children. [67], From the time of the collision to the moment of her sinking, at least 35,000 long tons (36,000t) of water flooded into Titanic, causing her displacement to nearly double from 48,300 long tons (49,100t) to over 83,000 long tons (84,000t). Boat No. [32] This reversal of directions, when compared to modern practice, was common in British ships of the era. Realising the risk to the boat of being swamped by the mass of swimmers around them, they paddled slowly away, ignoring the pleas of dozens of swimmers to be allowed on board. My God!' . I was a Titanic kid, meaning I literally knew every single fact about the Titanic, Mia says. [45], The gaps, the longest of which measures about 39 feet (12m) long, appear to have followed the line of the hull plates. (The Seaman's Act, passed as a result of the Titanic's 1995-1997: James Cameron uses the Olympic for the production of his blockbuster film, "Titanic". [99], At 00:45, lifeboat No. The whole operation took about three-quarters of an hour. Titanic Ship. Fifth Officer Lowe, who was in charge of the boat, fired three warning shots in the air to control the crowd without causing injuries. Lowe then took a crew of seven crewmen and one male passenger who volunteered to help, and then rowed back to the site of the sinking. "[36] After thanking Fleet, Moody relayed the message to Murdoch, who ordered Quartermaster Robert Hichens to change the ship's course. 5 boiler room,[64] and crewmen there were battling to pump it out. It would be difficult to find anyone unfamiliar with the Titanic. In his account, Gracie wrote of the admiration he had for those in the water; "In no instance, I am happy to say, did I hear any word of rebuke from a swimmer because of a refusal to grant assistance [one refusal] was met with the manly voice of a powerful man 'All right boys, good luck and God bless you'. It was horrifying, mysterious, supernatural. According to Paul K. Matthias, who made the measurements, the damage consisted of a "series of deformations in the starboard side that start and stop along the hull about 10 feet (3m) above the bottom of the ship". Steven Roberts. They used distress flares and radio (wireless) messages to attract help as the passengers were put into lifeboats. [91], Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall was told by Smith at around 00:25 that the ship would sink,[92] while Quartermaster George Rowe was so unaware of the emergency that after the evacuation had started, he phoned the bridge from his watch station to ask why he had just seen a lifeboat go past. She and the earlier RMSOlympic were almost one and a half times the gross register tonnage of Cunard's RMSLusitania and RMSMauretania, the previous record holders, and were nearly 100 feet (30m) longer. [125] Irish survivor Margaret Murphy wrote in May 1912: Before all the steerage passengers had even a chance of their lives, the Titanic's sailors fastened the doors and companionways leading up from the third-class section A crowd of men was trying to get up to a higher deck and were fighting the sailors; all striking and scuffling and swearing. But when I heard this theory, everything like made sense.. The Wild Conspiracy That the Titanic Never Sank The idea is pretty simple. 5, squashing her and knocking her unconscious. [31] Because of a mix-up at Southampton, the lookouts had no binoculars; however, binoculars reportedly would not have been effective in the darkness, which was total except for starlight and the ship's own lights. The footage was taken 37 years ago, but only just released to the public. Scott testified to seeing eight of the ship's 35 engineers gathered at the aft end of the starboard boat deck. [133], The first signs of panic were seen when a group of male passengers attempted to rush port-side lifeboat No. [48][49] These "Best" or No. [178], After they went under, the bow and stern took only about 56 minutes to sink 3,795 metres (12,451ft), spilling a trail of heavy machinery, tons of coal and large quantities of debris from Titanic's interior. The one which appealed to all was 'Nearer My God to Thee'. Both the Olympic and Titanic were supposedly identical to each other. [17], A fire had begun in one of Titanic's coal bins approximately 10 days prior to the ship's departure, and continued to burn for several days into the voyage, but it was over on 14 April. 2 was lowered. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that. This was the first crisis of his career, and he would have known that even if all the boats were fully occupied, more than a thousand people would remain on the ship as she went down with little or no chance of survival. [206] The last lifeboat to reach the ship was Lightoller's boat No. First of all, if Titanic hadnt sunk, the White Star Line would have had a fantastic 3 ship weekly Southampton-New York service two ships of which, 6 boiler room, and a small section of No. [145] The ship's designer, Thomas Andrews, was reportedly last seen in the first-class smoking room after approximately 02:05, apparently making no attempt to escape. [215] The bodies of most of Titanic's victims were never recovered, and the only evidence of their deaths was found 73years later among the debris on the seabed: pairs of shoes lying side by side, where bodies had once lain before eventually decomposing. [167], Eyewitnesses saw Titanic's stern rising high into the air as the ship tilted down in the water. He pulled out and they died, thus making his business successful, another person said adding to the conspiracy. [204] It appeared to Carpathia's passengers that their ship was in the middle of a vast white plain of ice, studded with icebergs appearing like hills in the distance. Titanic had been designed to accommodate up to 68lifeboats[84] enough for everyone on board and the price of an extra 32lifeboats would only have been some US$16,000 (equivalent to $449,000 in 2021),[5] a tiny fraction of the $7.5million that the company had spent on Titanic. Carpathia had been bound for Fiume, Austria-Hungary (now Rijeka, Croatia), but as she had neither the stores nor the medical facilities to cater for the survivors, Rostron ordered that a course be calculated to return the ship to New York, where the survivors could be properly looked after. We left him on the cabin floor of the radio room, and he was not moving. [176] As the engines are now known to have stayed in place along with most of the boilers, the "great noise" heard by witnesses and the momentary settling of the stern were presumably caused by the break-up of the ship rather than the loosening of her fittings or boiler explosions.
