This is the culmination of my Titanic research throughout the past year or so. Once you really look into the way we discuss Titanic, you realize that everything we think we know is based on so little. I urge everyone to understand that anyone who claims they know everything about The Sinking of the Titanic knows absolutely nothing.
This documentary also attempts to correct many myths about the The Sinking of the Titanic which have proved pervasive, even being repeated by many authoritative figures amongst the community
1) The Captain ordered the lifeboats prepared BEFORE he knew the ship was sinking
2) There is little evidence to suggest that the Captain had fully gone to sleep after his conversation with Lightoller. Instead, he seems to continuously pop between his cabin and the bridge. He is seemingly curious about Titanic's speed, as he checks in the Boxhall often, who was making a stellar observation in the chart room. There is no evidence to suggest that the Captain spoke with First Officer Murdoch during his watch; however, there is similarly no evidence to rule it out. To say that the Captain disappeared from the bridge ignores Boxhall's observations of his movement.
3) We are only aware of the Captain telling Fourth Officer Boxhall of Titanic's fate. Many of the officer seemingly did not think the ship would sink, Pitman and Lightoller assuredly. There are indications that Murdoch knew what would happen (shaking hands with Pitman at lifeboat 5); however, for the most part, the ship's officers had no idea the ship would sink until very late.
4) Collapsible A's falls were not "shot" off. Instead, Eugene Daly and William Mellors mention cutting the falls with pocket knives.
5) Hugh Woolner and Mauritz Bjornstrom-Steffanson were not the only passengers to board Collapsible A while it was stuck by A deck. Frederick Hoyt, on the advice of Captain Smith, did the same.
6) There is little evidence to suggest that Lightoller helped work at Collapsible A after freeing Collapsible B. Instead, he himself claims that he "took a header" off the roof of the Bridge.
7) There is little evidence to suggest that Murdoch saw the iceberg before the lookouts. The only evidence is from Frederick Fleet who claims that the ship began to turn as soon as he got off the phone with Moody; however, this is in direct contradiction to the testimony of Robert Hichens, the only witness to the actions on the bridge, who claims that Murdoch only acted once Moody confirmed there was an iceberg ahead. Speculating that Murdoch somehow acted before Fleet telephoned the Bridge is pure speculation and contradictory to the only source.
8) The use of firearms on Titanic is a lot more prevalent than previously mentioned by many figures. There are mentions of shots being fired at at least 12, 14, 2, C, D, and A. SPECULATION: apart from at Collapsible A, the use of firearms seems to follow the movements of Chief Officer Wilde quite closely.
Thank you for watching.
