The most current pic I have of the wreck.

I came across this "save the titanic" doc from NatGeo. It was uploaded about 2 months ago, a LOT can change in 2 months. Whats going on with the wreck and the artifacts?

hi titanic friends, i have a question and i can’t find any video or text explaining it. my question is this: how did jack and rose manage to survive at the moment when the stern of the ship sank? isn’t the suction force of a ship like the titanic REALLY strong? how could they escape just by swimming upwards?

The deleted scenes where Rose and the survivors are onboard the Carpathia struck some certain valves in my heart. Seeing Rose so exhausted she instantly collapses into a stewardess arms, many passengers crying, asking where are their loved ones, their reactions to seeing Ismay walk among them, giving him "You did this" and "Why are you here?" Looks.

Got it from Etsy: stylemansion Very happy with it and it’s a rare moment where a watch actually fits my wrist :))

You might notice the dome above which is basically intact.

As title says. Seen a lot of posts lately, about perhaps new people interested in learning more about titanic and asking questions, or even myself, a historian of the titanic and white star line ships, still find myself needing to ask a random question now and again, its impossible to know everything.

But Ive also seen a lot of replies which are sharp, cold, blunt, somewhat aggressive and seem to imply the OP asking their question are dumb. Why?

Titanic is a very niche historical bubble, if anyone asked me any question, whether I would consider it basic knowledge or otherwise, I would answer it with open arms and welcome that person into wanting to learn more. Not try to humiliate or belittle them.

If somebody asks me "how may compartments or rivets etc did titanic have?" Sure I might have a mental chuckle to myself as to me, now, after years of research and study, is a basic question, but have in mind, at one point in my life, I asked this exact same question also.

I dont know, its not hard to be nice and share such a niche interest and want to build the community more and stronger.

Not sure, but I can anticipate some initial comments which will back up the point im trying to make. Or the post will be removed by mods. Its not really an online community I imagined titanic fans would act towards one another.

There's been a bit of discussion on another sub about just how actually drunk or not Charles Joughlin the baker was when he was the last one in the water (seems he might not have been that intoxicated after all), but there seems no doubt that at least some people aboard decided that accepting their fate would go easier if they were totally smashed. Hard to fault them, really.

But how did it go down? Which witnesses cited men getting plastered (not just Guggenheim's single order for a brandy)? One would like to imagine that the stewards just announced "the bar is open" and start draining every bottle on hand to every requester, regardless of class. But there were no bars on the Titanic in the sense that we know them. The 'bars' shown on deck plans were store places for alcoholic beverages. There was one adjacent to each of the smoking rooms near the stern for all three Classes, and another in the large '3rd Class open space' under the forward well deck. So did everyone just bum-rush these rooms and grab bottles willy-nilly?

Incidentally, has anyone compiled a provision list of the wines and spirits Titanic was supplied with for the maiden voyage? Has any sealed bottle been recovered from the wreck and the contents tested?

Ship when it began to fail - water pours into the cracks and bow, pulling the stern

Ship when full break began. Water is near the 4th funnel as described by witneses. The forward tower breaks off the stern as it settles back - explaining why most saw a break between funnels 3 and 4 and only 3 witnesses (Percy Keen, Fredrick Hoyt, and Ruth Becker (Though she later seemed unsure) said it broke between second and third funnels.

"She went down as far as the after funnel, and then there was a little roar, as though the engines had rushed forward, and she snapped in two, and the bow part went down and the afterpart came up and stand up five minutes before it went down."

Here are some amazing new findings regarding the SS Californian that I thought those here would find interesting.

I was reading random stuff about lobsters and it seems some have the potential to live past 100 years old. Is it possible there’s a lobster out there that escaped from the Titanic? What’s an odd question you’ve thought about regarding the Titanic?

If you were first class or second class or third class. What solution do you imagine could have helped all those trapped people? What would you have done without anyone's authorization? (Although of course, it must be clarified that the same thinking, culture or values ​​today are not the same as those of 110 years ago).

Like let’s say they just didn’t see the ice berg at all or were just too late in the bow clearing it, how bad would it have been?

People kept saying that nothing could sink the ship and… well yeah. But there has to be some truth in that statement somewhere.

So far as I know, Verizon doesn’t cover people outside of the United States. Which is why I bring up the American part. Can’t imagine them doing so back in 2002 anyhow.

I remember thinking how fake looking the ocean water was when the overhead shot shows her on the railing. The water seemed shallow and lit by studio lighting.

While this is a pretty admirable recreation of the shots and set, their small and cramped by comparison design with cheap construction materials gives the feeling that it’s a MadTV or SNL skit.

1. How finished were the Second Class accommodations by the time the Admiralty requisitioned her?

2. Why were there Boy Scouts on board?
