TITANIC - Myths, Mysteries & Theories DEBUNKED

Video Overview & Insights

Theories have encircled the TITANIC tragedy for over a century, and we’re about to set the record straight. Since the day of the disaster, legend has overtaken fact and there are many questions surrounding the sinking. Was the voyage doomed from the start? Could the accident have been avoided? Who benefited financially? Was it even the Titanic that actually sank?

If you enjoyed this, would you want to see more videos like this, perhaps about the MOON LANDINGS, AREA 51, or THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE for example? What other topics do you want us to make videos about?

The background image at 14:52 is actually an edited image of the Rms Olympic being launched. For some odd reason they just simply scribbled out the name Olympic and they wrote the name titanic on the stern.

The book that was about a steam ship that sunk without enough lifeboats was called. Titan, it was described as unsinkable it hit an iceberg in April in the north Atlantic, very eerie parallels

I believe that Shipbuilder Magazine referred to Titanic and possibly the Olympic as "unsinkable".

A fool believes everything that he hears but A Wise Man searches out the matter ! . Go to the shipwreck and get the serial numbers off of the two Engines to start with. Those serial numbers will tell you The truth about which ship it is. But they won't tell you if they did Insurance Fraud or not unless they Are The Olympic Engine's.

Anyone can bullshit you about anything ! . The truth is laying down the in the debris field on The two engines. Go and get the serial numbers off of those two engines. If you find a car in the wilderness you check the serial numbers first. You check the tags second. You will find out the history from The serial number. Any tags could have been put on it. Especially if they used it in a crime. Same thing goes for the shipwreck and The Engine's, they may switch the tag's but They didn't have enough time to switch the engines.

Not sure about speed record, but literally all other ships nearby slowed down, as night was coming. One ship, that was closest to Titanic, even completely stopped, as they reported "being surrounded by icebergs". And due to Smith picking longer route, he was risking to be late at their destination, which, no doubt, would have severe consequences for him as captain.

Binoculars are not ideal for looking for objects at night and would have taken up more time anyway.

Whether the ships were switched or not, people died, so if the switch did take place , it was a switch that went wrong.

The titanic never sank my grandad was on the ship and what they did was bring another ship put all passengers on tht ship out at sea and sank a hollow ship and said tht was titanic and got big insurance money my grandad was part of this scam and all passengers signed contract to never speak of this and went under witness protection

The ships were switched the elites of that time all met on jeckle island and decided to move forward with their plan the port holes on the front of the ship sitting on the bottom of the ocean tell the true identity of that ship. The blue prints were switched .

6:25 Because of a coal strike in Britain and because April was still off-season the Titanic was only two-thirds full; that's the only reason she had enough lifeboats for as much as 52% of those on board. Had she been fully booked then her lifeboats would've been enough for a measly 27%

@fmyoung
@

12:48 Walter Lord says ship's wheels weren't re-rigged till 1924 in order to, as he put it himself, "cater to a generation raised on the automobile." So then Hitchens would've been trained the old way i e turn it one way to go the other way, like a tiller. The Titanic was simply too close for Murdoch's orders to work. Speaking of him, I believe First Officer Murdoch along with Capt Smith and Thomas Andrews may in the end have actually chosen to go down with the ship rather than potentially get faced with hefty, unpleasant grilling at court (and probably jail time too, on top of that). The reasons are very cogent: Murdoch issued the very orders that failed to save the ship; Capt Smith and Thomas Andrews knew exactly that the Titanic had far from enough lifeboats

10:30 She wasn't quite going full-speed but she was really close; she was doing roughly 22 knots. The Titanic's max speed was 23-24 knots

@fmyoung

10:21 We know now she split in two thanks to Robert Ballard

Here's why the Titanic's story will never die: (1) she was the world's biggest movable man-made object of her day, (2) she excelled in luxury, (3) she was on her maiden voyage (of all voyages), (4) there were many celebrities of the day on board, (5) there was already a lot of talk about all her features before she was ever launched (including the whole "unsinkability" talk), (6) she was the newest ocean liner of her time and (7) the Titanic is the first ship in living memory to be sunk by an iceberg. The Titanic shall always be in our minds despite herself; unlike the ship itself, the story remains unsinkable

@fmyoung

Just can't believe the answer Lightoller gave to question 14197 at the British inquiry



Can you suggest at all how it can have come about that this iceberg should not have been seen at a greater distance?

- It is very difficult indeed to come to any conclusion. Of course, we know now the extraordinary combination of circumstances that existed at that time which you would not meet again once in 100 years; that they should all have existed just on that particular night shows, of course, that everything was against us.



That's not a ship's officer, that's a teen. The court wasn't impressed either and the message seemed to be, as Walter Lord put it so well, that the accident was of the one-in-a-million variety. Friend of mine said to me one time that the accident was of the "preventable variety."

@fmyoung
@

6:07 That was only because White Star according to Walter Lord "liked little flourishes" still there were far from enough. It also needs to be pointed out that the Titanic was only two-thirds full which was owing to a coal strike in Britain at the time and because April was still off-season . Had she been fully booked then her lifeboats would've been enough for only 27%

@fmyoung

5:14 The soundtrack composer of that film, William Alwyn, was alive only for a few more days after Robert Ballard's expedition found the wreck. He died ten days later, on September 11 1985 .

@fmyoung

3:14 What I guess doomed the Titanic from early on was her very name. Titanic is the adjective for Titan, and the Titans in Greek mythology were a race who waged war against Zeus, the so-called "god of gods." This is the part of the story that seems familiar to quite a few. The part that seems unknown to most, shipowners at the time included, is that - guess what - the Titans lost. So, the Titanic was eventually defeated by her very name, as it were - and during her maiden voyage, at that .

@fmyoung
@

1:20 Shipbuilder Magazine said of WS's new superliners that they were "practically unsinkable" but somewhere in the retelling (early into it I'm sure) the adverb was dropped and everyone just went and said they were unsinkable

Heh. This video does do a decent enough job in debunking a lot of myths, but also perpetuates a few at the same time.

- For example, the fire in the bunker was not the cause of the ship going fast, it was burning the same amount of coal the ship would otherwise have been using regularly, and much of the coal in Bunker E was unburnt and transferred to other bunkers to isolate the fire, which was put out a day before the collision. Interestingly enough, this may have saved Titanic from capsizing as the mass of that coal not being there when the water flooded in.

- Another is the binoculars. That would not help at night at all. Binoculars are used to identify something after the lookouts have spotted it. They typically are not used because while they magnify far away objects, it greatly narrows your field of view. Combined with the pitch black from a moonless night and the sea being as still as a mill pond, it's unlikely having binoculars would've helped much, if at all.

- Tiller rudder orders were still very much in use at the time, sailing and steamship alike, and all the bridge crew was fully aware of the usage, and changes weren't made until much later. In fact, the next order First Officer Murdoch gave was hard to port so that the stern would swing out and the ship's stern would clear the iceberg as well. Had Quartermaster Hitchens not understood or been confused, this maneuver wouldn't have worked and whole starboard side of the ship suffered damage, resulting in Titanic flooding so rapidly it would have capsized and sunk in minutes, likely killing everyone onboard.

Finally, the real problem with the Gardner "theory" is that the damage to Olympic was not that bad, as third party inspectors had determined how bad it was, and there are even plenty of photos taken of it in drydock. On top of that, White Star Line in the past had ships that were damaged far worse repaired and back in service, the most famous example of this is the RMS Suevic, which became grounded on a rocky shoal. The ship was partially freed by blasting everything loose from the permanently suck bow, having another bow built, then attached at Harland & Wolff shipyards. After having done such a monumental feat of salvage and repair, why wouldn't they do that for Olympic?

The killing of Federal Reserve opponents also falls flat because there's no indication of anyone claimed to oppose who actually did. In fact, one of those cited, Isidor Straus, was actually in favor of a Federal Reserve!

@arcticflower7223

I like most of this, but a couple of things are wrong. The Binoculars at night would have made no difference. It was nighttime with no moon. The ocean was dead calm, which, combined with no moonlight, meant that there wouldn't be waves crashing on the iceberg that would have made it easier to see. The quartermaster who turrned the boat did not turn it the wrong way. It turned left as ordered. Oh, and Titanic was not going full speed.

trash-talk....

@bexhill8777

Your video was full of holes, sorry but true. It was an edition of The Shipbuilder that called the whole Olympic class practically unsinkable, the Tiranci wA not going at full speed when she hit the iceberg firstly because captain Smith ordered a reduce in speed and said if the if the weather got any worse the officer in charge was to reduce speed and to wake the captain. Also her number 1 boiler room had not been lit and the speed run was planned for during day light hours the following day

J.P..MORGAN, HAD BEEN ON HOLIDAY ALL OVER EUROPE, BUYING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF ART TREASURE. IT HAD BEEN PUT ON THE TITANIC, HE HAD TICKETS FOR THE TRIP, BUT CANCELLED AT THE LAST MINUTE, CLAIMING HE AS TOO ILL, AND ORDERED ALL HIS ART TREASURES TO BE TAKEN OFF THE SHIP. AFTER THE SHIP SAILED, HE WAS SEEN ON A SOUTH OF FRANCE BEACH WITH HIS TEENAGE MISSTRESS. ALSO, BRUCE ISMAYS WIFE, WAS ALSO DUE TO TRAVEL WITH HER HUSBAND, BUT CANCELLED HER TICKET DUE TO ILLNESS. THEN WENT ON A MOTORING TOUR OF IRELAND.INSTEAD. MAYBE MORGAN ET AL HAD READ THAT BOOK , ''THE TITAN'' WRITTEN IN 1898, ABOUT THE WORLDS GREATEST LUXURIOUS UNSINKABLE SHIP, SINKING ON IT'S MAIDEN VOYAGE ACCROSS THE ATLANTIC, AFTER COLLIDING WITH A ICEBERG, WITH GREAT LOSS OF LIFE ?

It's not a theory. It's based on incontrovertible evidence. However there is a theory on why people are so obstinately bigoted and ignorant.
