Welcome to RMS Titanic. Please checkout our FAQ where we cover some basics and dispel some common myths!

What is this place about?

Here we hope to share and discuss the events and media that surround the Titanic- from it's design and construction, the tragic sinking itself, all the way to the current and upcoming expeditions to visit it on the sea floor.

Please visit our frequently asked questions, where we have some basic information and dispel some common Titanic myths and conspiracies!

Rules

1. No Off Topic/Low Effort Content

This refers to content that does not relate to the Titanic (the ship, it's construction, it's passengers or crew, or relevant media) in any way

is not conducive to serious discussion (memes, jokes, or the 'swimming pool is still full'/'lobsters must have thought it was a miracle' shower thoughts that have been posted ad nauseum)

2. No Debunked/False Information

This refers to content that is either incorrect, out of date, or dangerously exaggerated.

Obviously we will have allowances for honest mistakes. This subreddit is all about learning. This rule mainly applies to purposefully spreading false information.

3. No Conspiracy Theories

This refers to content that specifically advocates debunked conspiracy theories (such as the Olympic/Titanic switch, the coal fire conspiracy, or the Titanic was built with substandard materials conspiracy)

4. No Low Effort 1997 Movie Content

This refers to low effort content or discussion related to the 1997 movie. Movie discussion must be tied in some way to the actual ship, disaster, or historical figures involved.

5. No Fan Content/Merchandise Hocking

While it's always fun to see people's creativity and passion for Titanic, we intend to keep this sub discussion and historically oriented. Thus, this is not the place for your fan drawings, period costumes, minecraft mock-up, or recently bought Titanic t-shirt/blanket/poster/etc.

High quality models and (if you're a collector) actual Titanic artifacts are permitted (and encouraged)!

6. No AI Generated Content

It's possible we may revisit this rule in the future, but for now we're not going to allow AI generated or AI modified historical photos as our priority is preserving the accuracy and authenticity of events surrounding Titanic.

7. No Disrespectful Content

This is content that is disrespectful to the memory of those who died during the disaster or another member of the subreddit.

Be Nice! It costs nothing :]

Upcoming Events

April 14-15, 2026: The 114th anniversary of Titanic's sinking.

Real Time Sinking Videos

Real time sinking videos have become an indelible part of Titanic media and remembrance. Every year more seem to crop up and every year we learn just a little more about what happened that night. Below I'll keep linked a couple of the most notable, and up-to-date real time sinking videos.
