Did you know that in TITANIC...

There are multiple shots of the bridge where the lights above the wings flicker.
This is a reference to the Titanic trying to signal with morse lamps, the Californian, a ship that was in close proximity that night.
In the film's commentary, Cameron mentions that there is a small, barely visible light seen from the see.
That is the Californian closely passing by the Titanic.

For clarification, Californian wasn't moving at the time. She was stopped and her boilers were inactive due to field ice ahead of her. Titanic's crew called for help over Marconi wireless, lit rockets, and used their morse signal lamp. Though Californian's crew watched from afar, and alerted their captain a few times, Captain Lord lowkey ignored the rockets and only found out about the sinking the following day. It didn't really matter though. His ship was in no condition to help in any way.

@@taylorebenguard6998 What exactly could he have done? He could have woken the Marconi wireless operator, Cyril Evans, but other than that, his ship's boilers were cold, and the vessel was blocked off by field ice. Unlike the standalone iceberg that sank Titanic, field ice is much wider. It'd be super dangerous to his vessel to try and navigate around it without any light. Plus, putting a ship's boilers back online after being shut down entirely takes hours and hours. Captain Lord received a lot of backlash, and like the hatred J Bruce Ismay received, it's undeserved.

Don't know how the Californian could be "passing by" the Titanic, when by 10:21pm that night, her Captain, Stanley Lord, ordered his ship stop for the night due to heavy pack ice in their path. Captain Lord wasn't made aware of what was going on with the Titanic until the morning, when Californian's wireless picked up chatter from other ships about the Titanic having sunk in the wee hours of the morning.

[@jamalbr3251]

Captain Lord was woken up twice about the rockets from the Titanic, he said they were just company flares and didn't order the ship to investigate. He should have at least had the wireless operator woken up.

[@violentdavillain3430]

It wasnt passing by it was stopped in the water

[@elissacousland44]

​​@@aliciacoble7854at the time, most ocean liners actually didn't have ship-employed wireless operators. White Star Line contracted with a company called Marconi to operate the wireless communications. But these Marconi employees weren't hired to send and receive messages that impacted ship operations. They were hired to send passenger communications back and forth, and charged the passengers themselves for these. Like an early form of text message. That being said, most operators did try to send other ships in the area notices of ice, and would take messages to the captain of the vessels if the Marconi operators thought it was important enough. Titanic had 2 Marconi operators on board. They'd been notified of icebergs several times and the captain knew. However, the sea was calm and the conditions extremely clear. Titanic had actually altered their course to veer more south to try to avoid the worst of the ice fields, but it unfortunately put them right in the path of a huge berg. That berg had even gotten way smaller as it had moved so far south that the warmer waters had melted a lot of it away. Unfortunately, it was still large enough to cause enough damage. Attitude at the time was that Titanic wasn't likely to sink anyway and had Titanic hit head on, she wouldn't have sunk. She'd have taken water and people still would have died, but the compartment walls would have done their jobs and held. First Officer Murdock was right in trying to turn though. No trained officer would have allowed the ship to hit head on if he could help it. By the time the lookouts had seen the thing, it was right on top of them because the conditions that night didn't show any water crashing against the iceberg, and the ice field had made the air right over the surface so cold that it caused a sort of optical illusion that hid it from view. The movie shows it clearly, but in reality, all the lookouts would have seen was a patch of black where the stars didn't shine. So, you have wireless operators who weren't hired or necessarily trained to handle vital ship communications and who were frantically trying to play catch up with backlogged passenger messages, a seasoned captain who had never had an incident like this in his entire career but who was trying to prove himself and his ship before his retirement, a freak rogue iceberg that was way further south than anyone thought it would be, odd weather conditions that essentially hid the iceberg until it was too late, a general attitude that Titanic couldn't sink anyway, and if it did and they needed to abandon ship, they the legal amount of lifeboats required for the time, which would have been used to ferry passengers back and forth from the sinking ship to another nearby one, as those shipping routes were used constantly. Statistically speaking, Titanic actually sinking and that many people dying due to these very specific circumstances was a mathematical impossibility.

[@andyl8055]

The Californian had stopped for the night because of the ice, I believe, and then there was an almost incredible succession of bad judgments by the crew of the Californian that saw her lamps and fireworks and decided they weren’t asking for help. This was in contrast to the Carpathia, whose crew were heroes and pulled out all the stops to assist despite their distance and the perils of the ice field they steamed into on their way to Titanic.

[@jamalbr3251]

Huh? The Californian was stopped in an ice berg field, their radio operator told the Titanic about it before he signed off for the night.

[@masoncrowell4860]

They didn’t put MSG at the beginning of the weather report, so the titanic didn’t think it was emergent. Also the Cali was spamming the lines, making it hard for the telegraph man to send letters via telegraph which resulted in the titanic telegraph man becoming mad, causing him saying not so nice things to the cali and told the Cali to sign off, which they did.

The Californian shut all communication down for the night shortly afterwards. I will never understand how this tragedy happened. Being responsible for the safety of so many people, the Captain should have heeded the ice warnings. Not just him though. Misplaced binoculars, pressure on the captain to go faster, no emergency drill on the morning of the 14th April, insufficient lifeboats and officers not filling the lifeboats to capacity when launching them.....the list is endless.

The receivers had been turned all the way up because where he was trying to send and receive messages to was only barely within range. The Californian's operators were much closer and when he sent the message through, it blasted the Titanic operator's ears and made it so he couldn't pick up on the signal from Cape Race. He was frustrated by this point. He was tired, stressed out because he was so behind on all these passenger messages that had already been paid for, and Titanic had already been made aware of the ice warnings anyway, including Captain Smith. But the night was clear and calm, and under normal atmospheric conditions, they'd have been able to see any icebergs a mile away. They'd already changed course to move more south to avoid what they thought was the worst of the ice field. But because ice had traveled that far south, the warm waters melted a lot of the ice and cooled the water at the surface way down. This caused a sort of false horizon. Yes, the binoculars had been locked up by accident when Captain Smith had removed an officer prior to Titanic's departure from Southampton. But the lookouts wouldn't have been using them that night anyway. The binoculars limited the field of vision and distorted the view, so while it was procedure to have them on board, they wouldn't have been reached for. The lifeboat thing is actually a little more complicated. Titanic had the legally required amount of lifeboats on board. Granted, the laws were outdated and written before a time when the creation of a ship the size and scale of Titanic was even thought of, so they should have been updated. However, the lifeboats were never meant to sail the frigid North Atlantic by themselves. The purpose of the lifeboats was to act as a ferry between the ship sinking and another ship taking on the displaced passengers. These ship routes were well-traveled. There were always going to be ships nearby, so the thought was that there was almost certainly going to be somewhere close that passengers could unload, and then the lifeboats would be sent back to retrieve more. The problem was that it was all chaos as the ship was going down, and because everyone had stopped for the night, no one was close enough that the lifeboats could get to before the ship went down. She sunk in 2 hours. And it isn't as if people started loading them up immediately. Remember, the thought was that Titanic couldn't sink, and some passengers reported that when the ship made impact, they didn't even feel it. No one actually thought it was going to go down until Thomas Andrews, Titanic's designer, told Captain Smith that she would sink, and that wasn't done for something like 45 minutes afterwards. We could blame several different parties for the tragedy. Mistakes were definitely made. But no one intended this to happen, and I think at the end of the day, we need to remember that it was an accident.

I don’t think the Californian wabi that under the water but that’s just my opinion

[@blakebuckley1018]

It’s that low because of the curve

[@noaezekielmanuel1684]

Omg so the titanic is so close in californian😱😱

[@orange-sailor]

Im still dissapointed that calafornian was barely featured and the olympic but we have the nomadic when Molly Brown board hope that doesn't spoil anything

[@EnzoEmmanuel-or9uy]

O titanic é meu favorito

[@johngaribay4954]

The Californian still never would have made it to them in time to save them. That was debunked already.😔

[@aliciacoble7854]

True...but they could have assisted in the relief efforts

[@fernelisfeliz8147]

Que triste 😔

[@derickloubriel8140]

Yes I did

[@derickloubriel8140]

But I didn't know it was shown in the movie

[@dovieglorking]

Smart 👌

[@JenderalPerangSoeharto]

Master Movie fails bohong ya aku udh nyari ta tapi gak ketemu

[@วรสินภน์พัชรโชษฐ์กุล]

[@33333jayiscoolegos]

They were mean not helping them

[@ShipVSAnimator]

They don't know titanic sank

[@amandainness8431]

The reason why the calafionion did not come Is because the Titanic was sending the signals wrong they where launching distress rockets every 3 mins in stead of every 5 mins plus the calafionion's Morse code operator had gone to bed but he saw the Titanic's distress rockets and told the captain but he said they where just having a party because of the incorrectly launched disstres signal and told the morce code operator to leave his room now and said try to massage them again or just go to bed but by the time the calafionion's Morse code operator got back to his room the Titanic Morse code operator had left thinking the calafionion was on the where see ing the distress rockets (sorry if it took long to read)

[@noaezekielmanuel1684]

Bro im so confused

[@llonellbolences401]

That was the (real) closest ship not the Carpathia, if I spelled it right

[@KosovarMapping1]

It's sad because the Californian was seeing the Titanic's distress rockets, but it did not understand the distress due to the fireworks being launched every minute, instead of the usual 3 minutes, and all those people who said that the Carpathia was about 4 hours away, that is false. The Carpathia would've been 6 hours away, even at full speed.

[@ManishaTakiyar]

It never sank

[@gerarditogm2181]

You’re stup1d

[@JonieBertulfo-tp5nh]

GOOD JOB CARPAHIA YOU SAVE THE TITANIC 🥲🥲🥲 CARPAHIA YOU LOVE YOU CARPAHIA ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊 I LOVE YOU CARPAHIA YOU HERO 😞😞😞😞😞😞 BUT YOU STRIKING THE CARPAHIA 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

[@frankieisthebestlikeblacky4198]

My mum said we are going on the next one

[@haroonnajib474]

Emoji see the black thing on the edge of the Titanic you see the black thing going down

[@Americacountryballiscool-12]

ss californian didnt pass to Rms titanic but Rms carpathia closer to titanic

[@cassidyCoetzee3099]

By the part where the other kid said the people on the other ship would be there in 4 hours so I must have been them because it would be probably very very very far away from them so I think that's them so yeah I think so so if this helped and if u don't believe me it's fine so have a great day!!!! Good to help 😊

[@isimsizoyuncular30orj]

Titanic: ...---... Caifornian: ill ignore that Carpathia: REEEEEEEEEEEE

[@tranceguide9752]

The Californian was over 20 miles away. Mount Temple is a better candidate for the mystery ship - it was found in the right place by Carpathia at daybreak - the Californian was nowhere near the sinking site until 8a.m.

[@TheTomCruiseLover]

Did you know?? 100.000% of moviegoers missed the Titanic scene where the woman in the white dress crosses her legs sitting in the chair inside the iron and brick compartment of the Titanic's criminal reception and interrogation room

[@taylorebenguard6998]

it was still pretty inaccurate cause actually the split was wrong the rockets wasnt the right color it would’ve been much darker and william Murdoch did not shoot nobody and he never would’ve shot anyone and the list goes on

[@ToastGurl9]

First

[@taylorebenguard6998]

🎉

[@tereyaki48373]

Who cares

[@gerarditogm2181]

First your mom

[@lucas_A_Conway]

Imagine the lives saved if they had cared to save the people on that faithful night

[@TemanukaJohns]

California didn't save the the holl titanic at night they better save them because I am cona cry because the California always save the titanic they god I wasn't on the titanic because I am from 2024 but in 1990 the titanic was cone in 2023 I am not going on their if the titanic was dead I amnot going on.

[@trapsongs2787]

I still want to visit titanic. But the money is the problem

[@sirsancti5504]

Amazing how the ignorants just point their fingers, instead of looking to the reasons the Californian didn't answear.

[@ZainalZainal-e9d]

The BLEk Titanic in this world has passed this afternoon and syng SM entertainment.

[@robertmiranda2444]

Did you know that during Titanic there were millions of men wondering how the hell they got roped into watching this trash movie.

[@tomcurda4203]

The angle is wrong. The Californian, if it was the Californian, would have been fine of the starboard bow.

[@sugarmin4832]

James cameron, we need movie about RMS Carpathia.

[@Kenida_Akira]

I always thought that was the titanic’s 2 horn when I was so little xD

[@bobblehead-dj]

Some idiot was sleeping on the job and whenever the radar went off, they didn’t hear it and the ship didn’t see Titanic

[@Renjipuih]

When the titanic was sinking some of yall think it not them well it is because the ss California flash there light so it them

[@User-kx5ty5fm4]

Too bad when SS California thought there was a party on the titanic.
