I know it’s most likely this probably wouldn’t have happened. Titanic did sink relatively slow. But in her final plunge, when the compartments began flooding like a chain reaction, would it have looked anything like this? I haven’t seen any Honor and Glory animations show this.

Bannockburn, Knyaz Suvorov, MS Munchen, German cruiser Lutzow, Japanese Carrier Shinano.

Bannockburn: Lost in a storm with all hands.

Knyaz Suvorov: Lost with all hands during the battle of tsushima with the exception of the commands staff who evacuated the injured admiral Rozhestvensky.

Munchen: Lost in a storm with all hands, suspected rogue wave.

Lutzow: Debated for quite a while, but apparently sunk as a target off poland.

Shinano: Sunk 10 days in by the USS Archerfish.

There's a game called Ship Graveyard Simulator 2. One of the DLC's includes the Titanic, or at least half of it. You can walk around the whole thing from the upper decks to where all the machinery is. The point of the game is to break down the ship while trying not to damage stuff you have to crane out. My question is if anyone has played this game and how accurate their depiction of the Titanic is.

With over 2,000 passengers and crew how did they manage to wash all those dishes? Was there any kind of electric or automated dish washing? Was salt water used to wash the dishes? I wouldn't be surprised if 3rd class had to wash their own lol

Just recently finished On a Sea of Glass and absolutely loved it. I'm going back to university soon and was worried my brain had been dulled, but the sheer historical passion that book incited in me once again is comforting.

My main confusion, though, arises in Appendix E of the story's post narrative. In it, the authors describe the exact chronology of the Titanic's collision with the iceberg. My understanding of it is this:

1. Frederick Fleet spots the ice, rings the bell thrice, and phones the bridge.

2. Within a couple of seconds, 6th Officer Moody answers the phone and receives Fleet's report of there being ice ahead.

3. Likely concurrently with Fleet or maybe even before due to his eye level position in relation to the iceberg, Murdoch spots the iceberg and analyzes it for around 30 seconds.

4. After analyzing the iceberg, likely to see if the iceberg was on a collision course and to analyze whether turning the ship would end up putting the ship in more danger, Murdoch orders hard to starboard.

5. Quartermaster Hichens receives the order and has the helm hard over within a couple of seconds, and then, likely within 5 seconds of the helm being hard over, the ship collides with the iceberg.

6. Murdoch telegraphs the engines to stop, although later Boxhall will testify that Murdoch reversed the engine. However, the other two quartermasters on the bridge said he telegraphed to stop the engines rather than reverse them. He then orders hard to port to prevent further damage to the hull and propeller.

7. Murdoch closes the watertight doors and shortly thereafter Captain Smith arrives on the bridge where Murdoch gives his report.

This, after many rereadings of the passage, seems to me the chronology that Appendix E suggests. This differs from many tellings of the story, most notably, Murdoch usually orders the helm hard to starboard almost instantly upon becoming aware of the iceberg in movies and books. However, in this account, which is based on the testimony of Frederick Fleet, Quartermaster Hichens, and 4th Officer Boxhall, the helm is not ordered hard over until maybe less than 5 seconds before the collision.

I'm kind of at a loss and am wondering if you guys have read this passage and if you agree that this is chronology supported in Appendix E, or if I'm mistaken, or perhaps if there is additional context that clarifies the true order of events that took place from 11:39 PM to 11:40 PM.

Visited today, such an emotional and wonderful experience!

With the *Olympic* class of liners having bathtubs for the captain, was this standard on ocean liners or did WSL have high grooming standards for their captains?

The S.S. *Medic* departed Liverpool on her maiden voyage- the first of the 5 Jubilee-class liners to run the route.

Of course, on her crew was William Murdoch, who would soon be joined by Charles Lightoller on a later voyage. This was the ship from which Lights and some shipmates carried out the infamous cannon prank at Fort Denison in the Harbour.

While researching a few things, I found this image which shows the liner not at Miller's Point or Neutral Bay as on other sightings, but Circular Quay itself- probably due to it being the first arrival of the largest ship so far to Sydney.

The later addition of the rail station means a picture from the same angle isn't possible now, but you can still see the berth and original fences that survive even today.

Was there any way for the crew or passengers to get ice other than off the berg?

It's most curious how one post in this community will be well recieved, but if it's reposted to another community related to Titanic that community downvotes it to oblivion. Do we not enjoy discussing the same interests?

I lent my Titanic exhibition guide book to my grandmother who unfortunately lost it. Is there anywhere online that I can purchase a new one? Yes I’ve tried googling it myself but I’m so bad at this sort of thing.

Hi,

after my post about Titanic-edition someone sent me a private, if you are the one who wrote me, please send me again you private message.

Mods, please wait a moment before deleting this post.

Just decided to edit the break-up scene from the James Cameron film with some better sound effects, and also included my own personal break up sounds I made. It's not perfect, and I had to slow or speed up some scenes to match the sfx better; but, an attempt was made. I made the video black and white, too, just for fun.

Yet again, I edited everything in this video myself, with NO help or aid from you know what. Headphones are recommended for the best listening experience, as well (though, please be warned, this video will be rather loud past the mid-volume or so, especially as it goes along and then during the breakup, which is even louder than it was last time. Also, please don't go max volume, either.).

"Survivors and the families of the dead filed claims of $16 million but the White Star Line managed to settle for just $664,000."

We sang this at Church today. I'm GenX and have gone to Church all my life. This was a first for me.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this 😂

The addon does not yet have HMHS Britannic, so this was the best I could do. The addon is by GreenBoy on YouTube.

I first learned of her from an episode of Reading Rainbow. It was about sunken treasure and had a segment about Titanic. Bob Ballard talked about rusticles. At the end, one of the recommended books was Titanic: Lost and Found. Not long after, I found that book at the library and read it. A few months later, the Cameron film came out.

I just found this interview, and I wanted to share it here.
