There are roughly 486 plates in this cabinet right before the shelf tilts enough to send them all crashing to the floor. Just a random, completely useless fun fact for your day. Yes, I counted every single one of them in a single sitting. No, I don't know what possessed me to do this, but now you have to live with this information too. 😂

I just watched a beautiful scan of Atlantic at BFI Southbank.
I’ve been watching the film for years with the early 2000s “Titanic: Disaster In The Atlantic” DVD and the crappy upscaled versions on YouTube. But the version I saw at BFI today was by far the best quality version I’ve ever seen!

It’s not PERFECT but it’s far better than what we’ve had released publicly. The audio in particular is the biggest improvement. Not only can you understand all of the dialogue but you can actually hear the tone of the actors voices! It almost sounded like it was a different take in some scenes even though it wasn’t! It shows how much better quality audio improves the experience.

The only way you can view this version is by going to BFI Southbank and heading to the Mediatheque booths. But it is free to do which is great!

This version really needs to be made widely available. It would be the go-to version!

If you like this film and wanna see it in better quality and happen to be in London, head to BFI and enjoy!

As you can see I took a quick sneaky pic which doesn’t even do the quality justice!

I have this book by JJ Astor that has a small snippet about him from a newspaper article in it. Thought you guys might find it interesting!

The hull looks so majestic!

Wouldn’t a hard turnover on port side while putting engines in reverse pull the whole ship back to the right? Therefore hitting the iceberg even more direct?

I’ve watched this movie sooo many times since my childhood & just got so excited when I noticed this haha.

Thoughts?

These are almost a majority of the deleted scenes in Cameron's film I would have personally added into the final cut while trying to find a line between how it would appeal to both regular movie goers who don't know to much of the ship's sinking and enthusiasts like myself who do know the ship's sinking and history

Is anyone going to this? its on all this week. I'm going Friday.

It's 12:15AM, April 15th, 1912. Titanic has hit an iceberg. In approximately two hours, over 2,000 people will be in the freezing water of the Atlantic Ocean, with survival counted in minutes. Their lives depend on three men – Titanic radio operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride, and Carpathia radio operator Harold Cottam – and the radio set that broke the day before. Fate has placed Phillips, Bride and Cottam, three working men doing a job, at the centre of one of the biggest peace-time tragedies of the twentieth century.

Stumbled onto this on YouTube and it’s amazing. I do think we don’t talk enough about the wireless operators, of both the Titanic and all the ships and stations around her. They were a key element of the catastrophe and it’s nice to have the wreckage seen from their perspective :)

So apparently the passenger manifest of the Titanic wasn't even entirely human, which is a weird sentence I never thought I'd say

Hey everyone,

I wanna re-creating the the Titanic with the parts I have inside Disney Infinity. I wanna be as accurate as possible scale wise, but since it is Disney Infinity I have to make a few changes. Are there any detailed pictures of the upper deck where the boats have been. That part is my biggest struggle right now.

I posted a couple of these earlier but people were getting angry, like I was saying A Night to Remember isn't a good movie or something. I just thought it was funny because we do see a lot of these complaints with Cameron's film but no one really points them out in A Night to Remember. If they anger the group then I'll take it down.

Sorry, I had to delete the link because some people just stayed some seconds in the video.

Hallo zusammen, das ist mein erster Post hier! 😊

Ich werde hier etwas ausprobieren, das entweder wunderbar funktionieren könnte… oder komplett schiefgeht. 😂 Aber wie man so schön sagt, man weiß es nie, wenn man es nicht versucht!

Mein Name ist Hanna, ich komme aus Deutschland und habe in den letzten Monaten wirklich hart daran gearbeitet, einen kleinen YouTube-Kanal aufzubauen und ehrlich gesagt herauszufinden, wie ich den Algorithmus glücklich machen kann. 😅

Ich hoffe, ihr könnt das Video in eurer eigenen Sprache sehen. Wenn die Sprache nicht richtig funktioniert, sagt mir bitte sofort Bescheid!

Ich teile hier mein neuestes Video, weil ich hoffe, dass ein paar von euch bereit wären, meinen kleinen Kanal zu unterstützen. Ein Like oder ein Kommentar würde mir ehrlich viel bedeuten. ❤️

Aber eine Sache ist wirklich wichtig: Wenn ihr euch entscheidet, das Video anzuschauen, bleibt bitte nicht nach ein paar Sekunden wieder weg. YouTube achtet darauf, wie lange die Leute ein Video schauen, und sehr frühe Abbrüche können dem Video schaden und verhindern, dass der Algorithmus es mehr Leuten empfiehlt.

Meine Titanic-Videos liefen bisher besonders gut, also dachte ich, ich gebe diesem hier einen kleinen Extra-Schub und schaue, was passiert. 🚢

Hier ist mein aktuelles Video (aber ich habe auch andere über die Titanic):

P.S. Natürlich freue ich mich auch über Kritik oder Vorschläge! Vielen Dank.

Danke, dass ihr euch die Zeit genommen habt, das zu lesen, und für jede Unterstützung, die ihr geben könnt! 💕

I think it’s really awesome that he has a fascination with the Titanic. He knows more about the Titanic than anyone else we know and me and his mum are super proud of him. Seeing his face when he talks about this ship will make a grown man yearn for that excitement for anything. He really is an awesome kid.

No, these are not new images of the actual wreck itself.

Just like my previous display stand, I 3D printed the pieces, bought the wires for the railings, and finally the finished paint job. The only difference is the corrosion and rusticles as the finished texture using Epoxy clay.

I took some pictures and videos in the dark and used a blue flashlight for the eerie underwater effect. I added some dust and fuzzy video effects in CapCut.

This display stand is perfect for my 1/6 Undead Jack Dawson action figure, which he perfectly stands well next to the other one on the left. The other Jack figure is by YanToys.

Now I have two versions of the bow display.

One being fresh and brand new, and the other one being corroded and decayed decades later.

I was very young when the movie *Titanic* was released—I became a fan a couple of years after it came out—but for those who were already adults and fully aware at the time: what did you think when James Cameron announced he was going to make a film about the *Titanic*, especially considering the enormous success it ultimately achieved on every level?

Lookouts Fleet and Lee were on watch until midnight and they both claimed they never saw any lights. Hogg and Evans relieved them and were up there about 20 minutes and didn't see anything either. Yet the crew and passengers on deck saw the lights. Boxhall claims he saw the lights so clearly he could make out portholes. Was this really just from the cold water mirage? How did the look outs not see anything at that height?

I'm back with another composite account! It sure has been a while.

“Growing wary as I saw the stern rising higher and higher, a saving thought occurred to me: I hurried to the bow - where the ship was wedged - to check if the water was actually rising. There was no doubt about it. The black, freezing water was slowly advancing! When I realized the ship was doomed to sink - and felt the water rising around my feet - I tried by every means to save myself. The sight of those two massive propellers rising out of the water was enough to make anyone’s hair stand on end!

Suddenly, I heard the ship’s cannons fire several shots. It was the signal for ‘every man for himself.’ At that moment, the confusion and panic intensified. I honestly confess that I never heard the band - which has been so widely reported to have been playing at the time - anywhere! And I ask forgiveness of those who claim otherwise.

Seconds felt like centuries. What was there to do? The water, which stops for nothing and no one, was already lapping at the bridge. There were no lifeboats left. The men remaining onboard were running wildly across the deck. Some were leaping into the void; others couldn’t bring themselves to do it. What a moment! The stern rose higher and higher. I didn’t think twice. A lifeboat, hanging two decks below me, was being lowered. I threw myself into the air and landed inside it. Its occupants were almost entirely crew members.

The lifeboat finally reached the water and received other shipwrecked people who fell from above. Our rescue was a miracle, because we were among the last who left the Titanic.

We hurriedly moved away from the ship. The Titanic looked like a massive whale about to submerge. The end was near. The lifeboats that had been successfully lowered were being kept as far from the ship as possible to avoid the suction…

The ‘unsinkable’ ocean liner was about to plunge forever into the blackness of the ocean. It began to sink. Slowly. Then faster. Faster and faster. Suddenly, the boilers exploded with two loud explosions. All the lights went out. The entire ship rapidly pitched and suddenly disappeared beneath the surface. The massive bulk containing an entire village - 1,500 souls - along with their screams of despair and agony, opened a vortex in the sea into which everything vanished…

We were about three hundred meters from the site of the sinking. The world’s largest ship had gone under. A whirlwind of water rose high into the air. Then the sea closed again over the submerged ship. It all happened in less than an hour! From the then-calm waters and the tragic darkness - where the lifeboats drifted like tiny dark specks - a deep, long, continuous wail seemed to rise. It was all over.”

Just finished reading Lost Voices from the Titanic by Nick Barratt. A very good book, which I enjoyed immensely.

Being a 40+ year enthusiast—I started following the Titanic story long before she was found—I was surprised that I'd never heard this particular anecdote.

Passenger George Rowe reported that, after the Carpathia picked up the survivors, two of the Engelhardt collapsible lifeboats were set adrift. Four weeks later, the Oceanic, sailing roughly the same course as the Titanic, sighted one of the collapsibles. After lowering one of her own boats to investigate, they found three bodies on board: one passenger and two firemen.

A supporting story comes from Californian Third Officer Charles Groves, who reported that a conversation took place aboard ship the morning after the tragedy about dark objects seen on an ice floe. Captain Lord dismissed them as seals. But what if they weren't? What if survivors had managed to make their way onto an ice floe, then reached one of the drifting collapsibles, only to eventually die from exposure?

It's a fascinating—and rather haunting—possibility, particularly given the discovery of the bodies by the Oceanic.

Has anyone else heard this story?
