"Echoes Of Titanic" (1992) - Classic British Memorial Documentary - April 14, 1912

April 14th 1912 -11:40 p.m. Lookout Frederick Fleet spots an iceberg dead ahead. The iceberg strikes Titanic on the starboard (right) side of her bow. Within 10 minutes, water had poured in and risen 14 feet in the front part of the ship. In less that 2 hours, Titanic is gone.
Includes interviews with survivors like Edith Haisman and Eva Hart MBE. The documentary - produced pre-James Cameron's "Titanic" - shows memorial services and conventions taking place in the 1970s and 80s. It shows that interest was still high before the 1997 film, although the demographic of Titanic nuts was soon to be swollen by mass influx of teenage females. At this point, people still seemed interested in the actual ship.

22:17 William MacQuitty was the producer of that awesome 1958 film "A Night to Remember" (the same title as Walter Lord's 1955 book). The soundtrack composer of the film William Alwyn died 10 days after Robert Ballard's expedition found the Titanic's wreck. It was found on September 1 1985 and Alwyn died on September 11 1985.

I saw a night to remember at 8 years of age on the local tv stations Friday night at the movies. Had to beg mom to let me stay up to see it. I was already stuck on titanic before this time.

About the role of lifeboats as "ferries" between the stricken ship and the rescue ship (so that there was "no need" to have "boats for all") I think the trouble with that approach is by the time the "ferries" made one trip and came back the stricken ship might've been in a far more precarious situation if not already beneath the water. So with a full lifeboat complement and a nice and properly trained crew it would've all been more effective and faster everyone would've been evacuated at the same time. The normally stormy North Atlantic is no place for such "ferries" especially if the crew had to row (the boats weren't motorized) the poor crew would've for sure been exhausted from rowing in choppy waters. That night the sea was "like a millpond" (Ruth Becker) and it seems largely forgotten that this is really the exception on the North Atlantic. (And the very fact that it was so calm makes it very easy for people now to think of lifeboats as "ferries").

Pre-Cameron documentaries are so much better.

Bruce Ismay did technically supply more lifeboats than the Board of Trade required (though just a handful more) but then there's Google which still says that he was the one who "in a move that would become highly controversial" decided to limit the number of lifeboats on the Olympic and Titanic to 16, even though the davits could accommodate 48 (the number strongly advocated for by Alexander M. Carlisle of Harland & Wolff). Ismay justified his decision by saying that the ship itself was a lifeboat so there was no need to clutter the deck. (How did he know that his ship was its own lifeboat if he wasn't the shipbuilder I wonder.) And then Walter Lord said that the Board of Trade section responsible for lifeboat capacity was dominated by the shipowners themselves they wanted to utilize the space for more 1st-class amenities (instead of "cluttering it with - of all things - lifeboats."). With that, Lord said, the shipowners "knew exactly where they stood on the issue, and they didn't want boats for all."

at 31:50. The film of the Carpathia . These people are a window into the distant past. this was the very beginning of film. Im so glad they filmed this. Its priceless. the part of the movie Atlantic where the people are boarding the life boats is chilling. this has to be the most accurate depiction even though its 1929 film im confident its 100% accurate. The panic and chaos as the abandoned ship. This has to be how it was .The ship tilting and flooding. And the people frantic trying to escape . Also the extreme cold that night being in the middle of the ocean. Complete and total chaos. Very sad though.

06:40 there's something wrong with that photo, it struck me as something that was idk really just not good, I can't read what the bottom says, these 2 men with that young kid.. idk, almost disturbing in a few ways....anyone else feel that way?

Still annoying that the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff in the Baltic at the end of the 2nd world war and the appalling loss of approximately 10k souls (making it up to 5 times more than the RMS Titanic!) continues to be virtually ignored by the majority of the world's historians and publishers. #OurHistory

Doubt it was lost. Look into the “conspiracy” theories. I say “conspiracies” because they often times turn out to be true. Way too many coincidences occurred to be an “accident” and it was an insurance scam/fraud.

[@DaveSCameron]

@@samueldocski4426 I'm not sure what you mean here, we know where it's located so I agree it's not lost in that sense but if you are suggesting a priceless flagship laden with VIPs and treasures was deliberately scuttled I am pretty certain the world would know today...

[@samueldocski4426]

@@DaveSCameron look it up Dave, I’m telling you. The titanic didn’t sink. It was an insurance scam. Her sister ship, which was less modern and more ran down, sunk. They swapped the names weeks before. Several crew members confirmed seeing the name scratched off and replaced. The sister ship sank. Titanic was renamed and the insurance was collected for it.

[@samueldocski4426]

@@DaveSCameron don’t use google or some bias search engine. Search deeper and you’ll see. Funny how the most important folks and including JP Morgan, were set to board the ship for her “maiden” Voyage but days before canceled and only those who knew about the plan to cause insurance fraud and wanted to say something, died.

Captain.Smith may have no link to Lichfield in Staffordshire, where his Statue was erected, but I believe he and his Wife lived in Hanley in Staffordshire.

[@knownpleasures]

There is also a plaque in Hanley where he was born. He had moved to Southampton five years before the disaster

Mirage is what happened on that night.

[@fmyoung]

Mirage or no the Titanic's lookout knew he was looking at an iceberg when he saw that bump on the horizon (without binocs) and the Californian saw the Titanic's distress rockets very plainly

[@darrenmackenzie1892]

That's not the original musical pig it had a damaged face when it was thrown in the life boat.
