That statement is wrong, sorry but no one can survive in water that cold for 2 hours, wasted or sober it's impossible, the average temperature of the north Atlantic in April is 28'F ( if it was fresh water it would be solid Ice) and as soon as you make contact with water that cold your body will Go into shock and go into survive mode and then you will loose the feeling in your arms and legs ( you can't swim around)and you have around 15 minutes of time to survive unless you get out of the water to protect your vital organs, only 2 people came out of the water that night ( technical 3 but 1 died shortly after) and once the Titanic went down it was total darkness due to a moonless night, so swimming up to the boat sounds wrong too

About ten years ago i was on a hiking trip in the Arkhyz, a western and rather moist part of the Caucasus mountains. As result of the moisture, the place is known for plenty of lakes up in the meadow level, which of course adds up to the beauty for a city dweller's eye. It was midsummer, and even on 10000 ft too hot to be wearing a t-shirt. So when having walked 10 miles with an 80 pound backpack you approach your night stop spot and discover a heavenly blue lake in the middle of the grass, what do you do? So i jumped in, and the very same second i jumped out, because the water was kinda almost freezing. It's stuill mountains. By the end of the 3 week trip i thing i've managed to stay in for entire 2 minutes and swim out about 100 feet and back. But it took me the entire day's heat for one shot. I cannot remotely imagine how somebody could survive for 2 hours or even 40 minutes in freezing water.

[@charlieindigo]

@@loverforcella I have to say I find your queries rather curious, especially since I listed a number of Mr Haggerty's compendium of errors; I'm not trying to be rude, but perhaps you missed them, for they are still there for all to see. If you want to commit to genuine research, there is much available e.g. the full reports on the Titanic Public Enquiries held in New York and London, both of which I believe may be found on KZbin, and certainly in any major library. For my part, nowhere did I mention being dubious about any "facts." - what I said was that Mr Haggerty's several pointed referrals to supposed interactions with Capt Smith were apochryphal - or as I put it "of doubtful authorship." Many witness reports made to the official enquiries, and even more made to and by the newspapers, were false, not entirely accurate, or found to be somewhat dubious; indeed, few of the survivors could agree with each other on the Titanic's final moments, but Mr Haggerty seems to have found a reason to include a few that Inver heard before. Any genuine author/ researcher worth his/her salt, needs to be sure of the facts before making a history programme, or loses credibility by issuing falsities, speculation and plain untruths. If he/she is presenting the "truth," entering apochrypha or misquotations and leaving out important information is not the way of a genuine historian. Clearly, Mr H has done little or no proper research. You say you want to do some research, so why aren't you doing it? There is a whole fund of genuine reportage of the Titanic to be found on KZbin, along with all the many theories and conspiracy theories, fact and fiction, but you seem to have chosen one that really has very little to offer factually or educationally. I have watched several videos made by Mr Haggerty, and in each of them he has done much the same in giving truths, half-truths, and complete false information. Therefore, in my most humble opinion (as a military historian), Mr Haggerty is way off the track in what he calls history. I recommend you do as I suggest if you truly want to verify my claims.

Thank you for the highly detailed and accurate video. Being a huge Titanic fan I'd say you are 99.9% correct on everything you stated except at 6:05. The coal fire was found in the coal bunker room between boiler rooms 5 and 6 which were the two most forward boiler rooms. Boiler room 1 being closest to the engine room aft and 6 being the foremost. Additionally there is some evidence stating that the coal fire was actually discovered during Titanic's time at Belfast and it was finally extinguished I believe Friday or Saturday April 12th and 13th during the voyage. There is speculation whether or not this coal fire had any impact on the ships sinking. Personally I believe it did not since coal fires were pretty common. Again, thanks for the great video.

I was also questioning the concept, when I remembered years ago I was on pharmaceutical opiate painkillers, I physically worked until I gave myself an inaugural hernia, I didn't feel it coming on and was surprised when it did, getting sober 2yr,s later I had trouble walking around the block without rest, I'm surmising the concept of alcohol and below zero water temperature tolerance to be something like this .

[@josephdillard9907]

Even the part of that little iceberg that was sticking out of the water would have been some 200+ feet tall. Survivors who saw it as the titanic hit it said it looked like a giant grey building floating by, even though the deck of the ship was some 60-70 feet above the surface of the water itself.

@@connornewcombe4319 It was a few holes actually, but still they only totaled about 12 square feet in area. But either way i no longer even agree with my own original comment, since i didn't know then that the picture of the iceberg thought to have been the one is contested, and that it was most likely a different one that resembled the Rock of Gibraltar. Still though, one survivor did say it looked like a big gray building floating by. And of course the titanic only hit it with a glancing blow as it turned. Honestly though, none of us will probably ever know the real, full truth about that night. Not really.

That "baker" who stepped off the back of the ship and didn't get his hair wet is shown in the James Cameron movie. As Jack and Rose are hanging onto the back of the ship while it's up in the air, the camera shows a man in a white uniform near them, drinking out of a bottle. As the stern finally sinks, you see him (as CGI) standing up on the stern and riding it down into the water.

It's hard to know how that would have changed history.

Such a fascinating place, next to the doors of the college building, there are old photographs on the wall that were taken from that exact spot while the Titanic was under construction, showing what the view would’ve been like back in the early 1910s when stood directly where the college doors are located nowadays.

@Mr. Chuco I never got sick. But the first cruise I went on I had some strange vertigo stuff going on for about a month after I got home.

Captain Smith didn't swim around he died on the ship. It was his duty as a captain. In my point of view he made too many mistakes commanding other vessels years b4 the Titanic accudened had happened. I think he realized his fault that's why he opted to stay on the bridge. The propellers being way too small for that big ship and the dream of arriving faster to gain more popularity the different materials used as rivets too little rescue boats... It was a chain of bad decisions throughout the whole Titanic story. What a loss of lives. Just imagine that.... Drowning in freezing cold water shockingly experiencing what's happening right now in the wide ocean... In total darkness.

I think that you will find that the cause for the 'New York' to break her mooring lines in Southampton was due to the 'drag affect' created by the Titanic when passing close by, the Titanic would have had tug boats fore and aft assisting her departure and there would have been a minimal bow wave but she would have created a water displacement current which would have sucked the hull of the New York into her wake.
