Saving the Titanic: Heroes of Bravery and Sacrifice | Documentary

[@chrisbell5920]

Chief Engineer Joseph Bell was my Great Great Grandfather's brother. He was born in Cumbria but resided at "Barnton", 1 Belvidere Road, Great Crosby, Liverpool. As the Chief Engineer of White Star, he was the company's representative at Harland and Wolff in Belfast, and in that capacity he oversaw the fitting of the engines into the White Star ships SS Laurentic and SS Megantic, and in 1911 he was Superintendant at the placing of the engines into the hull of Titanic. Part of his responsibilities was to sail aboard every W.S ship's working-up, their sea trials and their first two or three voyages as Chief Engineer. Hence his presence aboard Titanic. Joseph's own son Frank (my Great Uncle) sailed with his father in Titanic when she left H&W in Belfast for her first port-of-call, Southampton. Fortunately he disembarked there. Joseph left in his Will the sum of £6457.2s.10p ( about £368.000 at 2004 prices) to his widowed wife Maud. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" +Rest In Peace Uncle Joseph+

[@Gonken88]

You painted that?

[@den264]

I was disappointed by the movies writers who highlighted the Northern Irish Protestant stoker singling out his "Catholic " colleague for leaving the boiler room to go up top. When their were about fifteen non Catholic stokers making their way up top as well. Then the same Protestant stoker criticizes the Scottish electrician for complaining about having his wages reduced by four days. Guess what. The first thing "he" does when he meets the White Star managers is to criticize them for docking him four days pay. Typical British made propaganda. Make heros of their own kind, and denigrate and smear the other nationals and religions. And of course they papered over the biggest coward on the ship. The actual owner, Mr. Ismay, an Englishman who sneaked on to one of the overcrowded lifeboats dressed as a woman.

Engineer Johnathan shepherd, who had broken his leg falling into a opening in the floor for the pumps died when a large current of water came into the room he was in. This was almost immediately after the wall of the room holding the water back failed. Stoker Frederick Barrett who survived the sinking saw the water come in and quickly cover Johnathan shepherd. He was the first victim of the titanic on it's maiden voyage. The people who died aboard the titanic before him were members of the construction crew who died building the ship. Rest in peace to all the crew and, passengers of the titanic who died during the maiden voyage as well as the men who died building the ship.

There was a last gasp of Irish immigrants who came over in the 1950’s. My Aunt was one of them. She came over on the United States ocean liner.......which now rots away on the Delaware River. She married into a wasp family. We adored her. She made 5 cousins for me to grow up with.

I say that because at nearly 40 years old...I have never seen it from this perspective. I especially like that we never see the actual collision, and other than a few seconds of wide, long shots...we don't even see the view of the ship from outside. We don't see the craziness that happened up on deck with the attempts to abandon ship. No elaborate stunts or special effects.

There were indeed good honest men of honor as you rightly say, but there was one particular man of no honor ! I allude to the man who owned White Star, Lord Ismay. The man who put women's garb on and then crept in to one of the overcrowded lifeboats to save his own miserable skin.

The ship's engineers and workmen may be inspiring but that doesn't resolve the causes of workplace demotivation. They're barely related contexts. We do things differently now. You don't just tell people to not be unhappy with their jobs: you have to find the reasons for their demotivation and see what can be done about it.

I grew up only 5 miles along the coast from where Titanic was constructed in the Thompson Dry Dock, Harland and Wolff Shipyard, Belfast. This is Certainly the best Titanic DocuDrama I’ve seen, and is different from the others in that it tells the story of the incredible engineers who fought valiantly and courageously to keep Titanic afloat for every last possible second, which undoubtedly subsequently saved additional lives buying time as the passengers and crew who escaped the wreck awaited rescue by the Carpathia. The accents and social issues of the day certainly added to the authenticity of this excellent production.

I'm pretty sure the engine room scenes were filmed at Hampton and Kempton waterworks triple expansion steam museum. I went last year. Well worth a visit.

[@mrb.5610]

Yep - looks like it. The engine room scenes for 'A Night To Remember' were the similar engines at Cricklewood Pumping Station - alas long gone to the scrapyard now.

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

Sure looks like it. Only one of the engines run. How to recreate Titanic's engine room? Turn off or down the light, keep the non functional engine out of focus, and busy the scene with engineers.

[@annab.5724]

Wonderful documentary, wish more of the selfless crewmen’s stories were told over the wealthy passengers. True unspoken heroes, they were. Thank you for telling their stories and releasing this on KZbin! Probably the fastest I’ve subscribed to a channel. One minor note, current thought is that the coal fire and subsequent displacement of coal created a list that helped stabilize Titanic as she took on water. In fact, simulations have shown it gave her over double the estimated time of sinking as she wasn’t able to roll over. There is nothing to suggest the fire would have weakened her incredibly thick hull, especially as the damage was done by punching in and thus, opening rivets along their seam (as properly shown in this documentary), and not tearing through the steel itself. The actual damage done to Titanic was minuscule compared to what is normally depicted and supports her being made very well with good quality, for the time, materials and construction. Unfortunately, it was just long enough of an opening to make her sinking inevitable. Also, if anyone is interested in current Titanic research, game development, or history of the great Atlantic liners check out the channel Honor and Glory: Titanic. The boys eat, sleep, and breathe Titanic and have some fantastic videos of surrounding her history.
