The Final Hours of TITANIC - 2023 Animation

In memory of all those aboard Titanic on her fateful maiden voyage.
Media requests: [e-mail]
⛴ While the goal of THG is to remember and commemorate the lives aboard Titanic by recreating all details of her and the entire story as realistically and historically precise as possible, it is only sometimes foolproof. This is especially true with a reconstruction of the sinking: no one animation can nor should be considered 100% accurate or accepted as absolute fact as what happened that fateful night in 1912. Saying as much would be akin to the same hubris as calling Titanic unsinkable.
💅🏼 The THG Team wishes to applaud our Media Manager, Jack Gibson, for taking on such an endeavor as animating a new sinking animation as a gift to the whole community and us. We are very proud and impressed with his work with our various Titanic models in Unreal Engine 5. But Jack hopes everyone forgives him for any programming bugs or errors (stand by your fantastic work, Jack!)
🚣 We love creating Titanic content for everyone to enjoy. However, we must stress that this sinking animation is not representative of what may or may not be in the final or any upcoming versions of Titanic: Honor and Glory, the THG Alpha, or Titanic: Project 401.
📜 We always seek to improve and gladly accept constructive criticism of our current work. What you are watching won't be our last animation on the sinking - as we attempt to get it as accurate as possible. Feel free to post your critiques, questions, or comments on our progress!
🌜 Titanic sank on a moonless night. If you were outside and didn't have your vision interrupted constantly by the ship's lights, your eyes would eventually be adjusted to the darkness. However, it would still be quite dark. To allow audiences to see the events unfold, we have decided to keep the lighting as you will see it.
👩‍🎓 We treat this as a documentary. There were many sources used to assist in its creation which we implore you to scour and study yourself. One such is "Report into the Loss of the SS Titanic A Centennial Reappraisal" by Samuel Halpern. This book was heavily utilized. While it is nearly impossible to translate the report directly from page to 3D without weeks or months of intense work, Jack and the researchers did their best.

[@retroradkat]

The most terrifying part of this: once the power goes out and there's no more artificial light, it's near pitch black on the open ocean. So for the people clinging to the stern, they would not be able to see the people around them but could hear their screams. They could hardly tell how close the water was, save for perhaps the reflection of the stars above. So the sound of the sloshing water growing closer would be their only way to determine how many seconds they had left.

[@pintora14]

Que horror.... Me dio miedo

[@retroradkat]

@screamingcolormusic Perhaps not pure black, but have you ever been out in the country with no street lights and only stars? It IS pitch black. The stars alone do not omit enough light to illuminate the earth. Also it was a moonless night! Human eyes aren't built for that extreme low level of light.

[@Hue_Sam]

The fateful night was so dark that you can only make up the cold and empty midnight sky. You won’t even see the ship at all at a distance without her lights on. The increased ambient brightness is only there so you can see the ship properly. If you want to see the video in roughly the actual brightness on a phone, lower it’s brightness level until you can only see half of the sun shaped brightness icon. It’s that dark.

[@allydeath]

This made me feel completely terrified. However, even with the soundtrack, the drama, and the adornments in the movie, the special effects and the voices of people -who sounded more realistic than here- made my body chill, back in 1997 at only 10 years old and every time I watch it. And today, seeing how a funnel fell right over people, as if I was there and it fell over me... my gosh, words can't describe it. I trembled and was panicking for a moment. Incredible.

[@nichoyeah]

I agree, the cold facts delivered with the very telling animations and the subtle sounds of people screaming gave me goosebumps...

I think you forget that eyes naturally adjust to light. Even in a room with blacked out curtains at night..your eyes will adjust and start making things out..and that's without a very clear sky with full moon light, like it was on the night it went down.

It features a fictional British ocean liner named Titan that sinks in the North Atlantic Ocean after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking are famous for similarities to the passenger ship RMS Titanic and its sinking 14 years later. After the sinking of the Titanic the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly to the ship's displacement." taken from wikipedia. always gives me chills... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wreck_of_the_Titan:_Or,_Futility

This ship eventually disapears as the ocean and time consume it, when that happens only some videos and books and internet keep this memory alive , even people forget about this eventually. The last titanic survivor Eliza gladys dean died on 31 may 2009. How tragic it was in that time going on that big ship was a big thing as it was only for wealthy people. Guess they all believed that ship was perfectly build , constructors didnt have the knowledge to calculate all the things that could have gone wrong,thought there materials where indestructable against every possible disaster. Biggest mistake was that all binoculars where stashed in a locker and the key wasnt aboard because the sailor who was reassigned to another ship on the last minute and forgot to left the key behind when he left. The interesting question to me is where there no people on board with a single binocular as if it was me i would use it for nice views. The ship staff was arrogant to didnt ask people if they had one to borrow for safety. Also they all where stashed in a locker but found appart. A locker would hold water pressure and average damage , or did the ship sink busted the locker open? There was also a woman who went down with the ship with her 2 sons, creepy thing is she was very long under water but survived while her sons died her name was rhoda mary abott, also the only one survivor when the ship went down under, despite her survival she suffered respitarory and asthma complications all here life and after that titanic demise she could never be happy or feel happy and she died alone and lonely at 73 in 1946.

Maybe by that time the fact that Titanic was indeed going to sink was more obvious than it'd been at the beginning, when the crewmen and the passengers were still convinced that loading the lifeboats was an "unnecessary precaution", so they weren't yet loading them to capacity But also this was a panic/survival situation and people generally don't think rationally in such situations, so...

[@dpetty71222]

That theory was debunked by James Cameron himself. I just watched his experiments with the life boats and he timed each experiment. Even if all the life boats were in the process of lowering down into the water, there wasn't enough time. He said actually all the life boats being launched would have been in the way and the men on the ship was cutting the ropes attached to the life boat with pocket knives. So he timed himself cutting thick ropes with a pocket knife and yea...it wasn't enough time.

[@jacekuntz5195]

The Titanic wasn't being negligent - or at least overly so. It is like the 9/11 hijacking. Pilots were taught to give up the cockpit because no one ever thought the hijackers would actually want to crash the plane. That policy has changed. Until the Titanic, the idea of lifeboats wasn't "have enough boats to fit everyone". Rather, they were ferries to take passengers from the sinking ship to a rescue ship. So life boats would make multiple trips. The issue for the Titanic wasn't that they didn't have enough lifeboats, it's that there was no one to answer the distress signal (well, there was but they had shut off communications). After the Titanic, people realized they needed lifeboats not just for ferrying but also for carrying everyone should the boat sink.

[@braydenlovetere4545]

I find it fascinating that the Titanic's lights only went out when she finally went under, due to the tireless efforts of the ship's engineers, who stayed behind to keep the electricity and pumps running while the ship sank. They also kept the radio running, which put out distress signals until minutes before the ship sank. Truly remarkable!

i didn't realize how many of the details from the movie Titanic were actually historically accurate, i thought it was just things that were inferred. The way one lifeboat was being lowered onto another, the warning shots that were shot to obtain order from the frantic crowd of people trying to board the lifeboat, even Ismay getting onto one of the last boats when the other crew members thought he should have gave his seat to other passengers. I genuinely didn't realize how many of those details actually happened in real life and were probably first-hand witness accounts from the survivors. Soooo insane to conceptualize, even 111 years later.

[@Zenigundam]

Titanic was heavily inspired by A Night to Remember.

James Cameron gave the event a modern twist with the 90s thriller atmosphere intermingled with a love story.

The UK/US inquiries each produced thousands of lines of testimony from people onboard so there is a lot of go off of as far as what was happening.

One thing the movie sadly got wrong was William Murdoch. He didn’t accidentally shoot a passenger and then turn the gun on himself. Right up to the end he was helping people into the lifeboats and supposedly, according to Charles Lightoller who witnessed it, Mordoch was trying to release the last collapsible boat before he was swept off the deck. He was a hero.

[@Connor17199]

Your point about ismay isn't true. The lifeboat was half empty and he was told to get in, after he'd encouraged other passengers to get into boats first (though he was told off for doing so because he was getting in the way). Cameron actually knew he wasn't a complete villain but he portrayed him that way because "it's what people expected to see"

[@Connor17199]

​@@JaneDoexxxpretty sure lightholler didn't witness it all, he'd have been nowhere near. Lightholler was well known to say things to defend the white star line and ofc he'd try to, understandably, defend Murdoch's honour instead of letting people think he was a coward (it was 1912 remember). Lightholler was adamant that the ship didn't break, because he was a company man. And he was believed because he was the highest ranking survivor, not because of the accuracy of his testimony

...sadly the the intrepid rescue ship of Titanic's survivors met a tragic fate itself 6 years later on the morning of July 15th 1918 when it was struck by three torpedoes from a German submarine and sank about 190 km west of Fastnet Ireland. . At the time of the attack he Carpathia was part of a multi ship convoy that was steaming towards Boston using a zig zag course to try and evade German U-Boats. Of the 223 persons on board 218 survived and were rescued. Unlike the Titanic the remains of which are resting about 3,800 m below the surface, the Carpathia sunk in far more shallow waters (about 150 m deep). The wreck was discovered to have settled upright on the seabed by author Clive Cussler (who wrote numerous adventure novels including "Raise the Titanic").

I suspect the anger at him was misplaced emotion due to the tragedy and a desperate search to blame someone, anyone.

[@drygnfyre]

The newspaper of the days were far more propaganda driven than they are today. (And people today think politics is highly polarized). Specifically, William Randolph Hearst owned many of them and he had a personal falling-out with Ismay. So when the tragedy happened, he had all his newspapers solely blame Ismay for the disaster, and list him as the only survivor. He made sure his public image was destroyed and that people blamed him. There is plenty of evidence that Ismay assisted many people into the lifeboats, and he testified that only when there was no one else nearby did he get into one. The official inquiry at the time did not blame him for what happened. There is a long-standing hearsay rumor that Ismay pressured Smith to go faster, but no solid evidence of this exists. Furthermore, Titanic's maximum speed was already known, and the ship was built for size and comfort, not speed. Titanic couldn't have gone any faster, it was already being driven at full speed, and only slowed slightly due to the iceberg field.

Yes! It did me as well! In many ways, this allows you to really and truly conceptualize how this unfolded far better than all the movies because it’s literally JUST the ship sinking and the viewing perspective it gives you is really profound!

[@multioptioned]

712 people survived. If the lifeboats had been filled and lowered orderly and calmly 1178 could have. But during a sinking that lasted 2.5hrs who would have been orderly and calm? And most people died of hypothermia not drowning.

[@alisha_madariaga]

@@multioptioned yes. hypothermia from being in the water… If they’re in a lifeboat, then they would not have been in the water. However you are correct in that not all would have been saved if they had an adequate number of lifeboats for the reason you stated. But it still would have been many more survivors than what it ended up being..

[@sherylchilders6]

A lot of people focus on this, and it really perplexed me, so I looked it up - even the lifeboats that were not loaded to capacity LOOKED quite full when rescued. It turns out that the max capacity was VERY full, and they were not trained properly on it. I actually find it quite remarkable how calmly & professionally that they loaded & lowered the boats continuously up until the end, considering. They almost got people in every single boat!

[@multioptioned]

@@sherylchilders6 Yes you are right, should focus on the fact 712 people WERE saved. A lot of passengers refused to leave the "safety" of the huge ship and or leave husbands and fathers behind too and didn't feel safe on the lifeboats. They would have looked overcrowded on that dark cold night to the average person. They were meant to do a lifeboat drill that day I believe but never got to it.

[@CitygirlRayA]

Right. Plus I hate the fact they didn’t have enough life boats on the ship to cover the maximum amount of passengers the ship could hold if anything like this happened which it did. So sad.

[@spiritmatter1553]

I read that the top deck was the equivalent of nine stories above the water, imagine leaping off. It would be fatal, I think.

[@5skdm]

​@@CitygirlRayAat the time, they didn't add enough lifeboats because they used the lifeboats as like a ferry to a rescue ship. At the time, there was a previous incident just before the titanic where wireless telegraph can be used to send distress calls, and a ship used it to great success (all passengers saved except those who died during the initial collision). Because of that, and the titanic's design that supposedly can buy enough time for rescue ships to arrive (the underwater compartments can hold if there was breaches in a few compartments), made them not use that much lifeboats, because the designers thought the titanic can rely on the new wireless technology. But, the iceberg sracped way too many of the conpartments, so the ship sank faster than anticipated, and the nearest ship didn't even respond because its operator and radio was off plus it was the middle of the night. Its pretty bad timing

In 1889, there was a book (The wreck of Titan, originally named Futility) that was published where a ship named the Titan that was deemed unsinkable was struck by an iceberg in the mid-Atlantic and sunk. 14 years later, the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic sunk in the exact same way. And now, Irony came full circle, with the “indistructable” Titan implosion. It is something that has been on my mind since the Titan went missing… I know after the Titanic sunk, Futility was revised and the named changed… But it almost seems like it was an omen at this point.

If the ship had not made the critical mistake of turning hard to Starboard instead of colliding head-on with the iceberg, it would have certainly survived. Although sustaining significant damage to the front, it still had the ability to reach New York, albeit at a reduced speed.

As a kid i was fascinated but also scarred learning about the Titanic, in the 5th grade we took a class trip museum where Titanic was the featured display. Everyone got a ticket of a person whether it be a crewman, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd class passenger. At the end of the exhibit there was a board of all the name's on the ship separated from who lived and tragically died, there was a book where you could write down your feelings/condolences. Later in the school year while doing a project on my family heritage I found out from my great grandmother that my great-great grandfather was supposed to be on the Titanic but ended up missing the ship.

This was a masterfully created piece of tragic art. This took some considerable time and effort to craft, hats off to the creator. Also, ive seen the movie and some how this seemed to be much more somber and terrifying, more realistic, like really feeling the impact of the reality of it all without all the Hollywood distraction and plot lines. Giving us relevant information, play by play minute for minute. If only the crew had been more forthright with the actual gravity of the situation upfront more lives would have been saved but some fault lies with the ones that perished as well for not heeding the warnings they did recieve. All in all I believe this event is one of the greatest lessons of how pride is the ultimate sin and how it always precedes a great fall. Unfortunately humanity never never seems to learn.

[@afterlate8866]

At last, a comment mentioning ‘pride’ - a synonym for: ‘I am equal to God so I don’t need Him; I don’t need to respect the laws of Physics or any other laws because I’m king’. I say this in sadness not judgment and to add that we are nearly all guilty of pride.

Carpathia ❤ Hero ship. They shut off heat, hot water, steam to all passenger cabins to increase her top speed. The efforts increased her speed from 14.5 knots to 17, which shaved off more than an hour off the journey through an ice field. They had additional lookouts set up, to avoid the dangers. Chefs spent the time preparing soup for the survivors, hospitals were set up in the dining area. I've always wondered how many souls would have survived, had the nearby ship done the same.

[@Tomb-Wraith]

None. Because by the time Lord was aware of Titanic's distress, even if she had sailed her top speed, she would have arrived 10 minutes after she sank. The Californian simply wasn't as close as people think and was not a passenger ship.

[@aninaholbek]

That is still being discussed today. Survivors say that the ship was really close. Not just "some distant lights in the horizon", but they could see it was there. Either way, it doesn't change much about how things went.

[@Tomb-Wraith]

@Anina Holbek Survivors think the Californian was so close because they thought they could see the front lights. In reality, what they saw was a mirage caused by the conditions that night. We now know the Californian was close to 15 miles away, as opposed to the 8 thought previously. It doesn't, but Lord is unfairly villified in my opinion.
