TU: Titanic's Last Hour - Lesson 19

Titanic University officially comes home to THG.
April 14 1912 was supposed to be a normal night for Titanic - but fate had other plans. While there were over 2,000 stories to follow, here are some of the last moments of "normal" life for Titanic's passengers and crew.

Hope the 1500 souls lost that April night 109 years ago may rest warmly at last. Bless them!

[@mohamedmane4874]

1496 souls, actually

[@chasjetty8729]

I reckon there could have been at least four errors or stowaways. Also that the dogs had souls.

[@catalinadog157]

@@chasjetty8729 Doubtful, but yes, the dogs had souls, but we’re counting people

[@chasjetty8729]

I recently also came by the thought that females aboard may not have declared pregnancy. Attaching soul status is still in the courts on that but I go by an aboriginal Australian logic that the fetuses get their souls around four to five months. I’m sure there where a few unknown souls around. Human souls.

I was watching the movie, and it hit the iceberg right at 11:40!

[@augustosolari7721]

It is interesting that by sinking so prematurely in her carrer, we are destined to relive Titanic final hours forever! Her death granted inmortality.

[@LITTLE1994]

Britannic sort of suffered a similar fate, too.

[@austinreed5805]

It was such a normal night, which is scary because it would be the last normal night that the ship’s passengers would get.

[@Jeff_The_Weatherman]

Thank you for this guys! The more I learn about the Titanic, the more I feel her legacy.

[@trainstorm1225]

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

3:06 - 3:11 Am I the only one who, upon hearing that, got the sound of Smethles from the game Titanic: Adventure Out of Time asking Carlson "A touch of the Mal Der Mer, was it?" stuck in my head? 😂

[@SlidTossedPissed]

I also heard that. I still have the game, played it enough times to scare the hell out of myself... and back in.

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

@@SlidTossedPissed I love how at one point both Smethels and the Purser get completely wrong ideas about Carlson and Penny meeting up - Smethels accusing them of plotting larceny, and the purser ... well,\*ahem\* "You know, we really don't condone that sort of thing, not on an English ship." 😂

It wouldn't be pleasant that's for sure.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I don't think they said that. They didn't want t cause panic. They probably said get your life belts on and get to he boat deck It took almost an hour to get the boats to launch so they didn't rush

109 years ago and still so sad it will be the same in another 109 years. Rest easy to all the lost souls. X

[@ncc1701chris]

Glad to see so many people here to honor the titanic on this night. And to honor all the people who died and survived that terrible night....god bless you all.

[@chrisbutler7883]

Lovely piece. I really enjoy Matt's commentary, and it was fun to see familiar faces from the various films. BTW, I do think THG should look at getting the stars right; they are more interesting than the random sparks shown. For one thing, the bright star Procyon was sited just off the top of the iceberg when it appeared, and Mars was visible not far above that. Fleet and Lee were staring straight at Procyon - a star you can see yourself tonight, which is eerie. I mentioned some years ago that I could arrange(at no charge) for high resolution textures, stellar orientation, and so on for THG, as I am both an astronomical and maritime artist. Now that THG will be accepting free help, per their last livestream, I hope we can get Procyon off the berg, Leo overhead, and so on.

[@David-fm6go]

I am hoping that such improvements will be possible now.

[@JonesIsHere]

These are so GREAT, Matt. the details are incredible. love learning new facts about the ship with every video. you really bring life to the titanic. You dealt with the critism so well the other night. remember, for every person who criticizes the project, a hundred loyal supporters do not, and notice all the hard work all of you are putting forth.

[@kingkermit7323]

It's weird hearing the account of people have this sort of sick feeling in their bodies. It's almost like that feeling is like trying to warn them of the calm before the storm.

She... is not a RUST Stain on the Ocean Floor. She stands proud, her BOW and the first half sit mostly up and forward facing. She peers into the Darkness.. as she always has at 12,500' below the North Atlantic. She.. also wont be a RUST Stain. She will always, and forever will be remembered.. in our vocabulary as a society.

[@BeeBeau]

I recently found out that Harold Bride lived in Beckenham (where I lived all my life) and that he gave a few speaches on the bandstand at the park witch is on the other side of the road. Every time I walk my dog my dog in the park I stop by his memorial (which is a painting of the titanic) and I remember him as well as the people in morials next to him (David Bowie (who lived in the town) and M. Auguste Eugine Gaudron & Dr Francis Alexander Barton (the latter two people flew the first British public air mail flight in a hot air ballon on the 9th august 1902)).

[@Shipwright1918]

Always thought it was was weird to put the helmsman in a blind room, up until an old Navy salt told me it's a helmsman's job to steer the ordered course or rudder angle and no more, you don't need to see to do that. Bit of a lost art these days, steering a ship by hand all the time, once they're out at sea they switch on the autopilot. I wonder, during the day were the shutters opened?

Second class is one of the things I'm looking forward to most about Titanic: Honor & Glory. If I was a passenger, given my professional and social status, it's probably how I would've travelled and I will spend many happy hours exploring the second class areas of the ship!

[@jimwoods2180]

109 years ago tonight - my great grandfather's 'little brother', my great uncle (Oscar S. Woody) was a postal clerk onboard the Titanic's maiden voyage - the night of the disaster was his Birthday party - the other 4 postal clerks surprised him with a birthday cake they had arranged from the bakery to be prepared - they were of course finished with their duties that night and the birthday celebration was well underway when Titanic struck the iceberg - the lead postal clerk, John Smith, (we aren't sure if he was the 'post master') was immediately summoned to the bridge for an emergency officer briefing by Capt. Smith of the impending floundering of the ship - Mr. Smith returned to the party to find the mail room rapidly flooding and the other party attendees doing their best to save the mail - everyone in the mailroom eventually drowned - uncle Oscar's body and one of his coworkers body was recovered - none of the other postal clerks remains have ever been located.

Welcome back Matt!

Guys, today I came across a letter written by Virginia Woolf in April 1912, briefly talking about Titanic. She says: " "it’s a fact that ships don’t sink at that depth, but remain poised half way down, and become perfectly flat. So that Mrs. Stead is now like a pancake, and her eyes like copper coins". Now, there are two inaccuracies in this, because I have gone after information and it seems like Mrs. Stead didn't die on board and also that the bodies trapped inside the ship wouldn't look like that. But I'm still wondering about the _poised half way down_ part. In the film, James Cameron included an animation of the wreck of the ship fully hitting the bottom of the ocean. But Virginia had gone to court hearings about the Titanic before she wrote this letter, and I believe it's where she heard that information.

It's so scary about what just a single iceberg can do to a beautiful ship

[@runawaysmudger7181]

I mean..That's like saying how a tiny nail can stop a car or a single missing bolt can crash a plane. It's still mind boggling to some degree tho

[@WhiteWolf--]

Its been postulated that if Titanic had hit the iceberg head on as opposed to attempting to turn and miss it, the sinking might have been averted. By turning the ship, the iceberg hit her with a glancing blow, dislodging rivets on her side that we all know what led to. Such an amazing story that I'll never get tired of

[@keithfloydjr4014]

Good point..similar to how a small piece of metal from a Continental Airlines plane could bring down the mighty Concorde in France some time ago..ripped thru the tire causing a blowout then causing the rupture of the fuel tank..avoidable yet monumental occurances that changed history

"Nothing to cause any alarm" for the lookouts - I don't think it's credible that the one huge iceberg came at them out of nowhere. Surely there must have been a lot of ice around the ship already? When morning came, the survivors saw so much ice around that the wonder was how any ship could miss hitting some. This is an aspect of the disaster that doesn't get much discussion.
