Titanic Basics: The Cities

[@djstudio5056]

My great aunt, Elizabeth Nye, was a Titanic survivor who later lived in Asbury Park, NJ, where she witnessed the ocean liner, SS Morro Castle become beached after catching fire on September 8, 1934. 137 passengers and crew were killed, many from drowning after abandoning the ship. I've enjoyed following your progress! Know you are appreciated!

Another honourable mention is Woods Hole (Massachusetts), From there Robert Ballard started his Expeditions to find the wreckage.

Thank you for the Rosarito mention. I was 6 years old during the Cameron film's production and my hometown of Ensenada is not so far from the site and I was a frequent watcher of that set.

[@gangrel_76]

Addressing the distinctions between Ireland and Northern Ireland and how the country changed over the years garners huge respect. The research that goes into these videos is top notch.

[@Mikesmilesuk]

I was born in and lived in Southampton all my life. My nan was in the same nursing home as Edith Haisman and I remember talking to her about the Titanic on a visit to the home. If anyone visits Southampton Oxford Street is worth a visit and also the engineers memorial. Also a walk around the grave yards your bound to see someone buried connect to the Titanic. Just the other day I went to visit frederick fleets (look out) grave site.

[@judithbullimore6414]

I met Edith’s son and daughter when they came to Brisbane Australia with a titanic exhibition. One of them had written a book and I had a photo taken of them with me. It was a nice experience

[@ZachWalz]

Molly Brown’s house is in Denver, CO.

[@TheCAFProduction]

I've been there in Oct 2012.

[@Daniel_Huffman]

Her name was _Margaret,_ for the sake of the gods.

[@CombatMedicTM]

@@Daniel_Huffman And everyone addressed her by her nickname: Molly. What's your point, for the sake of the Gods?

[@Daniel_Huffman]

She was addressed as "Maggie". Molly didn't come until _long_ after her death.

[@CombatMedicTM]

@@Daniel_Huffman German Wiki claims she was called Maggie until her marriage. English page claims she was called Maggie. Do we have something definite on this?

[@simplystreeptacular]

I'd love to see one of these videos about the other ships involved in the Titanic story - like Carpathia, Mount Temple, Mackay-Bennett, etc. These videos are so fantastically informative!

[@Moakmeister]

The fact that you guys rendered Titanic with the 2.5 degree port list is some really nice attention to detail

[@guyk768]

I always find these videos very interesting.

[@rockinchimp]

Back in 1911 when the Titanic was due to be launched, my hometown of Fleetwood was the main port for sea crossings to Belfast. Express trains from London, Leeds and Manchester, brought passengers into Fleetwood’s main riverside station for the overnight sailing to Belfast. The White Star Line president J. Bruce Ismay and the great financier, Mr Pierpoint Morgan, also travelled from Fleetwood overnight.

[@TinLizzie-uc1jw]

rockinchimp my grandparents lived in Fleetwood! Maybe that’s why they have a White Star Line magnet on their fridge...

[@judithbullimore6414]

Bruce Ismays grave is in Putney Vale cemetery. I literally stumbled across it when looking for ancestors. Most things you read state that the titanic ruined his life and it was never allowed to be mentioned in his presence. He suffered a lot of ill health after the sinking and virtually went into hiding

[@ivanl7449]

There is also Rijeka, Croatia (then Fiume, Austria_Hungary). Carpathia was on her way there when she recived the call from the Titanic. Some crew members aboard Carpathia were from Rijeka and other places nearby. Today, a lifebelt from the Titanic is being kept in maritime museum in Rijeka

[@shortround551]

I live in Chelmsford in Essex, where Marconi was founded. No need to explain that one!

[@JamesW0214]

Agree with the map site. The nearest site in my state is the grave of an Able Seaman survior

[@2legit2quit70]

I love your suit. You make awesome videos keep up the good work

[@cynthiaklenk6313]

Thank you again! I can't believe my Titanic Honor and Glory calendar will turn another page in just a few days. Being the owner of a cruiser (Dancers Dream) I knew immediately that Liverpool was the port of registry for the RMS Titanic. Maritime tradition and law changes very slowly. Dancers Dream "sailed" all over inland lakes and down the channel (the great Dismal Swamp channel) but she was registered as her port of registry as Dayton Ohio. Its good some things never change. - I'll be ordering 3D printed models of the ships in the near future. God Speed and fair seas....

[@liviafeltham5914]

I am from Eastleigh, a small city in-between Southampton and Winchester and generally grew up in Southampton. I now work in Southampton, after having lived and worked in London from 2012 - 2018. Two of my relatives were crew members on the Titanic. My mother’s relative worked in the engine room as a fireman, his name was Frederick C Marsh, he was lost at sea aged 39. My fathers relative was the Vienna Baker, his name was George William Feltham, he was lost at sea aged 36. I have always loved the history of the Titanic ever since I saw the 1997 film when I was probably about 5 years old. Our family has always discussed our connection to the ill-fated ship and I carry on that conversation the most out of all of us. I find it so significant and touching that both my mother and father both had relatives who secured promising posts on the ship of dreams only to tragically go down with her on her maiden voyage. I remember them often. I love following your videos due to their historical accuracy and expert handling of sensitive topics. Keep doing what you are doing and I will stay tuned! Always watching this space to see what the outcome of your hard work and dedication will be :)

[@GB_GeorgiaF]

You forgot to mention the birthplace of Carpathia, she was born on the Tyne, I can't remember where as Swan Hunter had so many shipyards. I have a special place in my heart for the little ship that is Tyneside toughened.

[@Elfdaughter]

She was built at Newcastle upon Tyne, my home town.

[@GB_GeorgiaF]

@@Elfdaughter Are sure she was built in Newcastle, I'm sure she was built a little further east, but then again I'm not quite sure, being Northumbrian the Toon is not too far away for good look.

[@thomasandrewsjr6520]

Comber is also an town that is conected to the Olympic-class since Thomas Andrews Jr (1873-1912) was born there.

[@roadweary5252]

Don’t forget Indian Orchard, MA as an honorary mention - the location of the Titanic Historical Society.

[@Ptylersworld]

One of the postal workers on the Titanic was from a town not too far from where I live. His name is Oscar James Woody, and he was from Roxboro, North Carolina. He has a post office in that town dedicated to his name, and they have a plaque inside the post office in memory of him! I think his story deserves to be mentioned somewhere in the game.

[@MrTitanicfanatic2]

Im from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which is where 1st class passengers Walter and Mahala Douglas lived at the time of the disaster, they had traveled to France with their maid, Berthe Leroy to purchase furniture for their new home, but Walter decided he wanted to be home for his birthday on April 21st and booked passage on Titanic out of Cherbourg, I believe it was cabin C-86. Walter died in the sinking, his body was recovered, and hes buried here in Cedar Rapids at Oak Hill cemetery alongside Mahala and Berthe. Its also of note that Mahala died on Walters birthday in 1945. Their home is preserved as a National Historic site here in Cedar Rapids, and the company they founded, Quaker Oats, is one of the largest employers in town.

[@c300g]

Ottawa Ontario Canada was the destination of Charles Melville Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Railroad. Hays was destined for Ottawa to open the Chateau Laurier hotel. I believe furniture for the hotel was in Titanics cargo hold.

I would like to mention Eglwys Rhos, in Caernarfonshire, north Wales as this is where 5th Officer Harold Lowe hailed from. He is the only officer who survived the titanic who went onto have command of his own ship later on.

[@johnnychaos152]

Titanic survivor Eloise Smith was from my town of Huntington, West Virginia. Her husband Lucian Smith was a wealthy coal mining executive from Morgantown, West Virginia. Lucian died in the sinking and Eloise briefly returned to Huntington before getting remarried to a fellow Titanic survivor and relocating to Cincinnati where she passed away in 1940.

Netherton, a small town near me in the heart of the Black Country, England, is always very proud to point out they built the anchor for the Titanic. They have a very crudely built anchor that hangs on some signs going into the town.

Not much of a city connection where I am, but quite close to me is the Village of Staatsburgh, NY, which is the location of the country residence of the Mills Family. The Astors were frequent visitors to Staatsburgh, and in fact the Mills' had tickets to sail on Titanics' return trip from NY.

Thanks for the video :) I was completely obsessed by the story of the Titanic when I was little, I had clippings from all the the original newspaper articles. I thought I'd mention the Titanic restaurant here in Melbourne, Australia. My mum's partner took me a few times when I was a kid and I loved it haha. They have a little dinner show where they re-enact a rescue.

Waterbury, CT USA. There were several Lebanese immigrants in 3rd class heading for the Brass City, also Waterbury Companies minted buttons for several shipping lines including White Star and Cunard . The Priest from the former Trinity Episcopal Church was a passenger aboard Carpathia and catered to survivors brought aboard ship. While it may not have been major impact city such as Southampton or Belfast, this factory town ninety minutes North East of New York City did have a few connections.

[@Zerosen89]

I was just in Branson MO yesterday and went to the Titanic museum, which was nice, very good experience, someday I want to see Belfast and Southhampton and Alnwick, but that will take a few years probably to save up the money

I am from Kolkata India and here we have a water tank "Talah Water Tank" and it is believed to be made of similar kind of steel plating used on the Titanic.

[@deanhouldey6101]

Forgot to mention Birmingham and the West Midlands in England. 70% of the ship's interiors were manufactured here, with local companies such as N. Hingley & Sons Ltd; which made the anchors, Hoskins & Sewell; that made the brass beds, Thomas Perry & Son; which made the safes, and Welin; which made the davits, to name a few. Also Captain Smith and cellist John Wesley Woodward were among some of the people from around here.

[@SpiritOfRailways]

in the town I live in (Swindon) 2 people boarded in second class, they were Retired GWR foreman Benjamin Howard who was 63 and his wife Ellan Howard. and boarded the 2.15 train Southampton on the 9th of April to visit 2 of their sons in America.

[@ollie2244]

Plymouth UK, a picture of Plymouth's harbour (Plymouth Sound) hung over the fireplace in the first class smoking room, purportedly where Thomas Andrew's was standing as the ship went down. Plymouth harbour is home to one of the oldest naval bases in Europe. When Napoleon was captured after the battle of Waterloo he was brought back to England and kept as a prisoner onboard a ship in Plymouth Sound. It's also the city that the Mayflower departed from in 1620 bringing the Pilgrims to the New World. It's my city and I'm proud of our maritime history.

[@ksp-crafter5907]

I know an accurate way to determine the true hue of the 'White Star Buff' (the color of the lower section of the funnels)! For an AI / a neural network would be perfectly suitable, the given fixed points such as average skin color of the passengers, sea gulls, position of the sun, average brightness of the sea at a given time, Bullaug reflections, the titanium white of the boat deck, including the exact photosensitivity of the film rolls from that time algorithmically for reference. With proper computing precision, the true White Star Buff of the Titanic could be calculated so far that the human eye can no longer see any difference within the strongly limited spectrum, so the original White Star Buff would be practically (with high precision) found! That would not only be for the game but in general a milestone in the history of Titanic research!

[@thejagotishow]

The White Star buff hue can be seen in color photos taken of the MV Britannic III.

[@mixoupe]

I'm visiting Belfast in a few weeks. Thanks for the link!

[@KJ1186]

Kentucky 3 of the passengers were from there. One of them lived in my hometown before boarding the Titanic.

[@JonathanMoosey]

New York City is also tied to the Titanic due to the parent company of the White Star alone, the International Merchantile Marine Company, being headquartered there. At the time of Titanic’s sinking, I believe their headquarters were at the Bowling Green Offices Building at 11 Broadway in Manhattan. They would move into their own dedicated building across the street just a few years later.

I've been to Titanic Exhibition in Orlando Florida. And even though this location wasn't mentioned in the video, I've also been to Molly Brown's House in Denver Colorado.

[@FutureRailProductions]

I found an article from the Des Moines Register that talked about the sinking of Titanic. Iowa wasn't as big of a state as it is now so it's kind of interesting how the story of Titanic spread far and wide. Although I have to say I do have a bit of a connection with the White Star Line. According to my grandma on her side of the family her relatives owned or at least partly owned the company before the White Star Line before it was bought up by the Ismay family.

[@WeaselKing1000]

Plymouth, England was an intended stop on Titanic's return voyage from New York, and is also where the surviving crew were landed from SS Lapland after the US investigations. If not a 'top-tier' Titanic location, it's not far below. The Devon folk musician Seth Lakeman sings about the forlorn arrival of the crew in the song 'The Saddest Crowd'.

[@user-sl1gp5zm8c]

Albion House, Liverpool... Headquarters of the White Star Line from 1898 - 1934. The Cunard Building, which is also in Liverpool. The Lines Headquarters from 1917 - 1969. Which replaced their earlier HQ, also in Liverpool, from the time of the rescue by the Carpathia of the Titanic's survivors.

At the end of the video you said about visiting these top tier locations. I have been to Southampton and Liverpool and I’ve been to the gravesite of Mr Ismay in London HOWEVER I would HIGHLY recommended to anyone who is interested in real artefacts of the titanic to visit Las Vegas and go to the museum in the Luxor hotel... they have an actual piece of the titanic ship that was brought upto the surface along with shoes, plates, clothes... pretty much everything, all brought up from the titanic gravesite. It was haunting and upsetting but 100% would recommend over any ‘museum’ in Southampton and Liverpool, although was pretty cool to see where the titanic had been ect ect.

[@cardenassolisrodrigo2601]

Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, there was the place where Manuel Uruchurtu, the only Mexican passanger of the Titanic was born. He was a politician during the Porfiriato period in Mexico, he traveled to Paris france in 1911 to visit the exiliated president Porfirio Díaz, and planned to went back to Mexico in April 1912, he originaly was going to travel in the RMS Oceanic but due to the coal strike, he was transfered to the Titanic. He boarded the ship in Cherbourg, France, and stayed in her during the whole voyage until the sinking. Because he was well known in the first class, he had granted a seat in a lifeboat the night the Titanic sank, but he ceded it to a american woman called Elizabeth, because she was saying to the crew to let her in because she had a husband and a child in New York waiting for her. Sadly, Manuel Uruchurtu died in the sinking of the Titanic, and later was discovered that Elizabeth didnt have any husband or child's in New York, but she promised to Manuel Uruchurtu to travel to his birth town, Hermosillo, to tell his mother that he died in the Titanic sinking. But, she did it in 1924, 12 years after his death.

When it comes to the island of Ireland; the Republic of Ireland is the part that is recognised as the country Ireland and Northern Ireland was syphoned off to remain as part of the U.K. as per winston Churchill’s orders post WW2 as he felt it was necessary to have land both sides of the Irish Sea for submarine warfare like was seen in the war which is slightly unnecessary today. Churchill rewarded the republic independence if they agreed to side with the British secretly during the war. Other parts of the empire struck the same deal.
