The Last Seven Titanic Survivors Tell Their Story (1997 REMASTER)

For more visit: www.torusdigitalcinema.com
The Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank
in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912,
after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden
voyage from Southampton, England to New Your City.
There were 1,514 people that drowned in one of the
deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.
Her passengers included some of the wealthiest people
in the world, as well as over one thousand immigrants
from Great Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, and
elsewhere seeking a new life in America.
The Last Seven Survivors tell their amazing stories of how they escaped
death. At 2 o'clock in the morning on April 15, 1912,
"The Unsinkable Titanic" sunk. All seven surviors have since passed on.

It's quite amazing really. Imagine April 15th 1912, around 700 people have survived the disaster. The worst thing they'll ever experience but then a mere 2 years later World War I breaks out. Then the Great Depression, World War II, Vietnam and Chernobyl. These 7 people saw it all and survived. RIP

It's because Big Pharma has poisoned our modern elders with cancer, autism, dementia and a whole myriad of "medicine"-caused diseases that people 100 years ago did not know.

[@LittleKitty22]

That wouldn't even be allowed nowadays because now, if one can think for oneself, if one believes in having good manners and dressing well, and if one is strong instead of sitting back crying "I'm so depressed I can't work, give me welfare and antidepressants" - then one gets labeled "mentally ill" and pumped full of antidepressants which cause dementia and make people end up not even being able to remember their own names.

During the 70s and 80s there seems to have been a big push to capture these survivors' testimonies on video before the opportunity was lost. I'm so glad that they did and that we can hear them now.

[@karentucker2161]

Sam here...it's actually nice to at least see their faces and hear their voices.

[@stevemuzak8526]

That was the best thing that ever happen for the survivors. They get the opportunity to share their stories.

[@Hayley123454]

@@stevemuzak8526 Eh, some of them didn't want to talk about it and never did for the rest of their lives. People were different back then----they were encouraged to just suck it up if something was uncomfortable and not talk about anything difficult. Which is really unfortunate for us because I would have loved to have seen footage of many more interviews with survivors.

[@kruszer]

@@stevemuzak8526 pretty sure the best thing was simply surviving!

It makes me wonder if, during the 2060's and 2070's, there will be a similar push to get World Trade Center survivor testimonies.

[@millicentdogrago6072]

My great aunt, Maria Vav Oist survived the sinking , barely, as a third class passenger. She had got her ticket at the last minute and wasn't even registered as a passenger. Til her dying day she cursed the people on the Titanic. She called them selfish, cruel and smug. She told a tale of people in a half filled life boat, bobbing in the water and hearing the screams and cries of the dying while the people in the boats did nothing to help them. She begged them to turn the boat and rescue some people as they had plenty of room. The other passengers said "Why should we help them.? Let the them drown." She used to cry about this til her dying day. She hated all of them for letting innocent people drown and freeze to death when they could have saved hundreds. That is the reality of the Titanic.

[@ms.lisamarie2245]

[@MrChickennugget360]

most likely they would have swamped the life boat, so no. frankly she is a bitch if she decided to hate rich people or middle class people. 92% of the middle class men died on the titanic, and first class men 68% died so if it had not been for their sacrifice your great aunt would not have lived. funny that people role out the class warfare issues but ignor the biggest factor if you lived or died on the Titanic, if you were a male or a female.

[@breAnnasmama]

peblezQ it’s not “like” in the as if sense .. she flat out did. Isn’t it obvious ? I had horrible intuition / bad feelings prior to being abducted from my own home in broad daylight 20 years ago this December ., was the worst thing I’ve ever known and experienced and had I been able to know to listen and analyze that inner voice as it’s God’s wisdom shared with us , to be able to innately feel and sense energy or perceive what is to come ,. I tried so hard to ignore these feelings but it was too late and I’d suffered being tortured and almost Killed and fought for my life with every breath. I fought to survive and the horrible person had detailed to me exactly how I was going to be killed. When I did manage to survive and police came and took me to the hospital, etc. I had to move immediately from the location and after my statements to police and charges filed , The person was arrested but sent people to kill me and both the friends that I shared a home with. Thankfully we’d all been moved out at urging of officers. They apprehended the people and informed me and I was in complete shock and numb for so long but it’s bn a lifetime of suffering and coping and words can’t express the depth of The suffering I’ve known. Somewhat , what you’d see in a movie, is what I can say. I know not what it’s like to survive on a sinking ship but I do know similarly that level of fear and suffering and looking st ur life knowing you’re about to die. In an instant and all you did was open a door , innocently. These ppl simply rode aboard a ship with no knowledge of their impending doom and yet I do feel the women had gnawing away at her , intuition and knew by feeling that the worst was to come. We all have to listen to that inner voice. Can’t ignore it. We all have the ability to have such intuition but ppl act as though is something mysterious. If they’d simply pay attention they’d realize ..

I had a feeling something was going to happen to my mom and Sister when they were going to church in the evening. So I had to go with them.

Your an amazingly strong person to be able to still be here today and openly talk about all that you went through! I’m so grateful you made it here. You inspire me to no end!! I am very wary and paranoid. I stay home alone a lot and walk dogs for a living, so I’m often alone in a big city. I get paranoid that I will be abducted too, so I take a lot of extra precautions. Your story really makes me feel better about all the precautions I take. A lot of family and friends call me paranoid and make fun of the extra steps I take. But your proof that I’m not wasting my time in being cautious. I’m also pretty intuitive as well, your right, we all are. When I sense danger. I try stop or stay away. It’s become very useful to my safety. Thank you for your story, I hope it enlightens others! Your truly inspiring. 💕

[@TianiCPT]

Sammmuela Better to be overly prepared than unprepared. Growing up my dad was a bodyguard and I’m guessing his profession made him extra cautious with me. As a kid I always thought he was paranoid, but as an adult I know there’s been situations that could have gone bad had my dad not raised me the way he did. Like he’s always told me, predators seek out unassuming victims, so I’ve always made sure that if I get a weird vibe from someone I make sure they see that I see them (unless the vibe is that they’re gonna rob a place, in that case don’t make eye contact, don’t even look at ‘em lol). Here’s a couple more lil tips thanks to my dads lessons, if someone tries to snatch you, go dead weight. It’s a lot easier to get someone in a vehicle or wherever if the would be victim is already in motion. Lifting a person who’s dead weight, even a small person, is hard, even for a big guy. Also, if you’re ever attacked don’t yell help, yell “fire” at the top of your lungs.

Yes, Phillips replied “shut up, I’m busy”, he was a young crew member that died that night. He was backed up with messages because the power went out in the communication cabin the night before. He was annoyed at Californian interrupting him sending his messages from passengers and therefore replied “shut up, I’m busy”. Obviously not a cool thing to say. However, he was able to fix the Telegraph machine (despite orders for him NOT to fix it) and make the distress calls. If he didn’t fix it, Carpathia (or any other ship) would have never come to rescue survivors in lifeboats.

[@edienandy]

Bearded Sailor they had more than the minimum amount of life boats required by law at the time. The problem was that the life boats were never intended to hold every single passenger simultaneously. They were meant to ferry the passengers from the sinking to the ship to a rescuing ship. They were meant to do that in multiple trips until everyone had been evacuated. Unfortunately for Titanic there was no rescue ship there when she needed it.

@Libby Berman I meannnn it was a very unfortunate chain of events but no one called it unsinkable but the press.

Many ships are called unsinkable and make complete careers, though in fairness two of the worst shipwrecks (the Wilhelm Gustloff which took 9,000 souls and the Titanic) were thought to be basically unsinkable and the Nazis even claimed the Bismarck was completely unsinkable and that took 2,000 lives

There is much more to this than is told here. 1) Every ship was communicating on a single frequency and the custom was that you never interrupt another ship's transmission. The wireless operator on Titanic was sending passenger messages at the time and was interrupted by California. 2) The transmitters back then had limited range and the further away a message was coming from, the more quiet it was. Titanic was communicating with the coast, so the operator had to have his headphones volume turned all the way up to be able to even hear them. So when all of a sudden a ship that was really close to them started transmitting, it was really loud. The operator even had to tear down the headphones from his head. That's why he got angry.

FACT: Every single life aboard the Titanic might have been saved if the SS Californian had sprung into action, which was closer to the sinking ship than the SS Carpathia. Captain Stanley Lord was fired as soon as it became clear that he ignored to take action. Being 15-20 sea miles away (as opposed to 50 for the Carpathia), it would've been possible to save everyone on the Titanic in this calm weather, with nothing but a gentle heave: they had time to come beside her and take all of them on board. From 12:15AM (first CQD signal sent from Titanic), they had 2 hours and 5 minutes before the ship sank: SS Calfiornian could've made that with a maximum speed of 14 knots.The tradition of the sea dictates that if a vessel is in need of help, you go out there. 1,517 bodies now rest at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean because a ship's captain refused to help and denied the warning signs.

[@EmilyCheetham]

Yes the god dam should have gone to investigate. Unfortunately due to arrogance and stupidity they didn’t. They didn’t totally ignore the facts but unfortunately due to the weather that night the icy waters of the sea with the warmer air above was causing cold water mirages meaning the captain though it was a different ship. Also the weather that night meant it was a very clear night- with the stars twinkling couldn’t tell the difference between a signal light and stars or other things that twinkle. Due to the radio man on the Californian being asleep he didn’t pick up the distress calls over the radio. So you see it was a sham from the start. Yes the Californian saw something and didn’t go investigate because they weren’t very bright. After all the captain of the Californian was a very young person for the job and wasn’t the most expected in protocol. In the end he lost his job as he didn’t investigate.

[@eldergambrell]

The Titanic ignored the Californian's warnings initially

The ship saved people coming off the life boats. Carpathia, the ship was also featured in the movie, 1997 Titanic. He later spoke about the passengers that were rescued.

I thought that was a very fascinating bit of history, esp. the one with my grandfather. During the time, the early part of the 19th century, I know of many families, men esp. who came to find work in the U.S. and would later return to Europe. Some even had children in the U.S. and returned back to Europe with their families.

What a gem of a film. I was amazed at the stories themselves and the eloquence and emotion from these survivors. Heartwrenching and such a lesson for humanity. The fellow was spot on when he nearly cried, "it was murder." For the elite who built the ship it's okay to lose 2,000 people....and no coincidence when they call 3rd class "steerage."

[@babichickan181]

I find it fascinating, to listen to these accounts from survivors. Fascinating and heartbreaking and very interesting. However, the people at the convention where just odd. To hold a film star in the same regard as a survivor or a horrific accident? To smile while listing all the tragic things that happened? Just plain wrong.

[@AlphaBetaDeltaGamma]

Do you not think that experiencing an event like this haunts a survivor for the rest of their lives? Many of the people who survived lost their husbands or fathers, or even their sons. Other spent hours on capsized or swamped lifeboats, almost freezing to death, and surrounded by people who wouldn't make it, and every person who survived, even if they didn't lose any loved ones, had to hear the screams of the fouteen hundred and ninty six people who were freezing to death in the ice-cold water. Think about that before you claim it is no big deal for these people just because they survived.

This is a precious piece of film. There is so much to learn from all of the survivors. Especially compelling is the memory from the gentleman who was the assistant to the pursor...when he speaks it looks as if he is holding back tears. At the time of the documentary filming events are still pretty fresh in the memories of the survivors. Titanic was a warning to future maritime ships and to their passengers. "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"... Triangle shirtwaist factory fire...The Titanic...The World Trade Center... Never, never forget....

Lesson from Triangle Shirtwaist fire: A factory should be well protected against fire hazards. Lesson from Titanic: A ship should have enough lifeboats for all its passengers.

[@JakeHowarth77]

The Marconi operator (using morse code to transmit over radio) was transmitting messages from the passengers to the local recieving station and the window for clear transmission was limited. Not that he was right to ignore such an important warning but back then, radio was a novelty and not actually required on the ship. In fact, the 2 Marconi operators werent even considered Titanic crew or even passengers. They worked for Marconi and were "experimentally" on the ship. The operator was swamped with messages he was charged to transmit and was over tired. I agree though, had he not responded so brashly perhaps the captain would have acted differenty considering the number of ice warnings and the closing proximity of the bergs.

[@Jimmy_Sullivan]

There is much more to this than is told here. 1) Every ship was communicating on a single frequency and the custom was that you never interrupt another ship's transmission. The wireless operator on Titanic was sending passenger messages at the time and was interrupted by California. 2) The transmitters back then had limited range and the further away a message was coming from, the more quiet it was. Titanic was communicating with the coast, so the operator had to have his headphones volume turned all the way up to be able to even hear them. So when all of a sudden a ship that was really close to them started transmitting, it was really loud. The operator even had to tear down the headphones from his head. That's why he got angry.Plus, they had already received multiple ice warnings just like this one from other ships. Even if they hadn't told them to shut up and delivered this message to the captain too, it wouldn't have changed anything.

[@ElsieDee001]

The Californian was treated rudely for their attempt to warn Titanic of big danger 15:16. Maybe a reason why Titanic got the cold treatment from The Californian to blow off the distress rockets which were thought (as I heard somewhere), were used as fireworks to show off their bigness....after all , what use are distress rockets on an 'unsinkable ship' ..(apparent arrogance). The whole mess was fraught with bad luck and bad decisions.

I understand that the rockets were set off sporadically, and not in a continuous stream, one per minute, which would have been recognized as a call for help.

Had they known Titanic was sinking and it was possible to get through the ice surrounding her, they would have done their best to get there.

Not arrogance. Earlier the Californian had al ready given them a warning almost 30 minutes before that. He was just irritated that he was interrupting to tell him AGAIN, in the midst of all the back log of messages they had to get out. Also, the Californian message was deafening because they were so close to the titanic, and the Morse code was piercing his ear drum.

Actually, the ship in the film was not Titanic but Olympic. Captain Edward Smith RD RNR was in command of her before he was transferred to Titanic. Note his uniform was summer/spring wear and not the winter wear appropriate for Titanics April voyage. Also, The first class promenade deck was wide open on the ship on the film. On Titanic, it was closed in and made into private verandah for the most posh first class. The ship being escorted away from the dock by tug was Olympic. I imagine the filmmaker wanted to catch the idea of the magnitude of the Titanic leaving port and without any fim footage of the Titanic itself its sister ship, exactly the same in all but a handful of ways (some of the improvements on Titanic would later be applied to Olympic) would have to do.
