Raising the titanic is possible if done with extreme caution, however the two parts would likely not make it to the surface. They have been sitting at the bottom of the ocean for 100 years now that they are very corroded and its hull is breaking down at a rapid rate.
I know its pretty much impossible, but I would just love to see something like this happen. I could see a breaking news bulletin right now on the news channel saying the Titanic is being risen, which then cuts to a live video of the Titanic rising again.
Ive got to say they done a bloody good job on that film, the ship looks awesome and is pretty accurate, apart from the two tall vents next to the foremast. You cant beat effects done properly with a model and not all this cgi crap. You cant hold it against the film makers about the ship not being broken in two as they didnt know that when the film was made.
I remember watching this movie... It was before they discovered the Titanic for real, and found that is was in 2 pieces...or maybey more....All they had to go on was from what survivors saw at the surface as she was going down, they could not have known about any underwater damage or about the ship breaking apart below sealevel!!! It was an awesome movie at the time!!! watched it a few times!!!
is it sooo difficult to raise the 2 parts of the ship now? last thoughts were made in 1980's. technology has advanced so much since then! make a titanic museum... and have the 2 pieces on a large (huge! i mean) display! in order not to break it apart, its wise to, a) scoop it out with the ocean floor and b) raise it using compressed air in air tanks that would rise up to the cerface. we didnt have this technology in the 80's. but now we do!
@180TheDragon 2 problems with that idea, 1. the ship has been ravaged by iron eating bacteria so any attempts to move the ship would most likely end in the ship collapsing. 2. this was where 1500 people died, it is now their grave. Many years ago I would have agreed with your decision, however now that we have the technology we simply dont have enough of Titanic's time left to raise her.
@180TheDragon You're CLEARLY using your brain the wrong way, the only thing holding the ship together is the water pressure, the stern is totally destroyed, Titanic is a grave to 1500 people, it'd be lovely to raise her, but iron eating bacteria, as Doomsday has described, has eaten away at her, and the ship'd collapse if we tried. Titanic is staying at the bottom of the ocean, we can't save her.
@EFFANDJEFF Survivor accounts differed on whether the ship broke apart or went down intact. That's not surprising, considering that they went through something pretty traumatic. And without the wreck, who really knew?
@EFFANDJEFF Not all survivors recalled the break-up. Most actually denied it. It was not as obvious as James Cameron portrayed it in his movie. It was somewhat more subtle and concealed by water and darkness.
@EFFANDJEFF Also, many crew members said it went down in one piece, and at this time, people would believe crew over passengers, who would be panic stricken.
@BronxNYE206St well you have to put into context that this film was made before they made the expidiction to find the ship. they had no previous knowledge of how the ship would look by then they thought it was perfectly intact
@MrNelsonlederer some did...some didn't. it's like with the suicide on board, some thought they heard shot(s) and some don't remember hearing any at all. i guess with all the commotion on the decks with people scattering bout, it would be very hard to take in everything.
@MrNelsonlederer Some reported that it broke and some reported that she went down intact. Nobody knew for certain what had happened until the wreck was discovered.
@Davis4037 book written in 1976 film released in 1980 wreck found in 1985 with the ship being split in half being a big discovery when the book and film were produced everyone believe she had sunk in one peace
@Romerjon17 In the movie, they first patched over the hull damage, shot in some epoxy foam to force water out of her watertight compartments, and then finally activated the hydrazine gas generators attached to the hull just before using some explosives to rock her loose and get her moving. It looked pretty believable at the time.
I appreciate Lew Grades comment that it would have been cheaper to lower the atlantic but this is still a stunning shot. And thanks to the film which I did enjoy, I disovered Clive Cussler and Dirk Pitt.
if they could just raise ships that size off the ocean floor and back to the surface it might take a rwrong turn i mean raising a sunken cruise ship could bring no harm except maybe some bad memories ( sorry if im wrong about that ) but if they would do this with a wrong ship it might create havoc example: immagine them raising the bismarck fromt he depths and and making it a display piece or restoring it for use that could turn out pretty bad bud i must confess i would love to see her raised
First, thank you for this. Secondly, never underestimate the ignorance of the American citizen. When titanic came out in 97, I saw it at a theater in California. There were two middle-aged women in line behind me. One actually said to her friend, "don't tell me how it ends.".
@RaiseTheTitanic1980 A damn fine model shot too. Some of the cutaways I would've tweaked, and that final master shot looked mostly good, but there's an easy fix to make it totally believable. No CGI could've done this.
@RaiseTheTitanic1980 Seriously.......55ft!!! :-O Star Trek The Motion Picture the model was between 8-10ft i think......jesus thats where the budget went!
@TheMakeUpFXDude - That's nothing. The model of the skyscraper in 'The Towering Inferno' was 100ft in height. The stern sinking model of the Titanic from James Camerons "TITANIC" was 60ft in length.
@RaiseTheTitanic1980 wow......back then that model must have been the biggest chunk of the budget gone.....nowadays its all CGI but damn.......but i suppose a larger scale means it looks more realistic in terms of how much detail you can put on the model.
These days model shots are done in CGI if they dont need to be onscreen for long periods of time. Model work is still done as can be seen in the excelent work in lord of the rings.
@TheLamaguy89 That's impossible, I wish it was true, but unfortunately She's been under there to long, shes very delicate, sooner or later scientists say she's the full front half of her is going to smash, she can't hold together much longer, she's falling apart more than that dreadful night.. .. ;\
I thought this was great it was almost like watching the real ship rising from the ocean........All you knit pickers need to shut up........They know its not real therefor its not going to be perfect......they were just trying to capture the idea its the thought that counts.......I would like to see one of you douche bags make a better film
This film was made 5 years before the Titanic was found. The makers of this movie had no idea what state the titanic was in. They did their best with what little information they had. Over all this movie had a good storyline and it is well made movie.
Even though the film was a bomb at the box office, the John Barry theme remains one of his best. Of course the film is inaccurate in a hundred ways but I doubt it was ever meant to be. Rather to give us all pause to think how great it would be to REALLY Raise the Titanic and have her at the dock in NYC. Of course that will never be ,but I still enjoy the film and most of all the score. The re-recorded soundtrack by Nic Raine is a fine approximation of the original. Tnx for posting this sequence

Do the makers of this movie not realize that the Titanic is in pieces...cut in half with a lot of other pieces ripped right off? If you're going to be making a movie about raising the Titanic...at least get it some what correct when it comes to the condition of the ship.
although, even given that nothing was known about the state of the wreck and the effects of long term submersion at such depths, the model could have done with a bit more ageing and broken parts, even if just damage around the broken funnel.
@SSunshine9107 Great question! No they did not reallize that because virtually nothing was known about how it sunk when this movie was made. It was not until 1985 that it was discovered/found by Robert Ballard and team who were actually on a then secret mission for the Navy/US Gov''t at the time.
@SSunshine9107 In the 1980s, they thought it was still in one piece, but without it's funnels. They didn't know back then, where it was, how good condition it was, and what it looked like at the time.
I love Hollywood, they can't even get the basic design right, the upper bow structure is wrong and I have no idea where they got that forward mast set up from (looks like a 1950's freighter). Until they found her in 1985 I always hoped something like this would happen, I remember the papers speculating before the first dive that she could be shiny like new and in one piece because such depths wouldn't support any life.. oh well
@lostthe80s - The bow is correct, it's just those 3 tall vents and solid bulkhead wall on the tips of the bow. To tie-in onboard deck scenes with the ex-Grace Lines liner "ATHINAI", they copied the ships forward bow vents. It would have been easier to have cut the vents off the ATHINAI. It never crossed their minds during filming.
@CJCA915 - Hello. The prologue was edited at the last minute, even after filming had finished onboard the liner ATHINAI which stood in for the raised Titanic. That ship had the solid bulkhead and 3 tall cowl vents on her bow. The film crew had them made for the 55ft Titanic model to allow blending in. However, they had not take into account eagle eyed viewers who realise the real ship never had those vents to start with.
@RaiseTheTitanic1980 Well, it's a good movie, but it brought in less revenue than they had used to make it. :/
I think they should have a remake, I think it'd be awesome, like with the same soundtrack, etc. Just newer visual effects, and correcting these tiny mistakes, while still maintaining the view that that Titanic had still been in one piece.
Also, I can't seem to find it anywhere, I had to come across it online, is there no Blu-ray version?
I want to congratulate you on a good job of editing this sequence. We all know there are flaws to the film, but it's a film. When they made it, they knew little of its condition. Survivors reports conlicted with senior officers, even Jack Thayer first class passenger drew it breaking up, but it had to be hushed up as there were legalities and reputations at stake. This scene is pure fantasy. When the film was made it re-opened dreams of finding it. I remember the audience gasping at this scene.
@sweeterthananything - Survivors did state the ship broke apart during sinking, even onboard the rescue ship CARPATHIA. But surviving officers also stated the ship sank from them intact, so it was more common to believe a senior officer than a passenger, who afterall was out to sue the White Star Line.
@sweeterthananything yes it did splite but nt fully thay did try 2 raise it bk up but it just broke even more and now the ship is fully in 2 top and bottom ov the ship is about 1 to 2 mile apart at the bottom ov the see
I thought the ship broke in half, and how the poles and everything still there? How are the big steam things at the top of the ship still there? They fell off as well as the ship breaking in half. And when they rose the titanic, it would sink again because of the iceberg cuts and you dont see them in this movie!!!????
@EmmaLovelace - Yes, it's a little miniature man working a deck pump. Don't know why it's there because in the film, this part of the film, no one has yet landed on the decks of the ship.
The original novel was written in 1976 while the movie was released in 1980. The wreckage itself wasn't located until 1984. It was assumed that the ship stayed intact after it sank.
@tascott59 - In Cusslers novel she did come up stern first. For the film they decided to have her come up bow first as they felt it not only looked better, but also helped to better the publicity department when selling the film as her bow is more instantly recognisable.
I always loved this movie. Richard Jordan is to Dirk Pitt the way Sean Connery is to James Bond, and Anne Archer is cute. This clip just goes to show that sometimes you don't need any actors at all to be moved by a scene. Great video.
@chainbluelightning1 I agree. Richard Jordan(R.I.P) to me WAS Dirk Pitt. I believe if they had built a franchise and paid more attention to detail and stuck to the books, it could have been as successful as the Bond films. Considering Clive Cusslers books still sell far more than Ian Flemings Bond books ever sold. Although Richard Jordan wasn't as tall as Pitt, he still conveyed what I always imagined Pitt to be like,
That was the "whole" point to this video. Re-edit, re-sampled FX audio. I never had any intentions of putting the music score in, that would defeat the purpose of this video. . . . . However, take a look at my 2010 re-edit which has the newer digital stereo soundtrack.
i like this cois its cool but there is so much wrong i know this fild was made before they found the wreck but i mean cmon 1. say this was possible its beyond distrespectfull to the ppl who died 2. these ppl are dicks if they think a ship hiting the ocean floor at 30 nots wud ever be able to float again even if it was raised 20 mins after it sank it wud be mangled lol
what did they use to raise it out of the water.

@RaiseTheTitanic1980
although, even given that nothing was known about the state of the wreck and the effects of long term submersion at such depths, the model could have done with a bit more ageing and broken parts, even if just damage around the broken funnel.

@RaiseTheTitanic1980 i find that they mad the titanic look pretty good (except for the funnels) considering they had not seen the actual ship!

They didn't find Titanic until after this film was made. It was popualry believed she was still in one piece
Revkor 1 year ago
@SSunshine9107 Great question! No they did not reallize that because virtually nothing was known about how it sunk when this movie was made. It was not until 1985 that it was discovered/found by Robert Ballard and team who were actually on a then secret mission for the Navy/US Gov''t at the time.

@SSunshine9107 In the 1980s, they thought it was still in one piece, but without it's funnels. They didn't know back then, where it was, how good condition it was, and what it looked like at the time.

this movie was made in 1980 a full 6 years before the real Titanic was found.
and this was hollywoods high tech version of the raising of the titanic as believed to still be in one piece.
johnneilson3 1 year ago
I love Hollywood, they can't even get the basic design right, the upper bow structure is wrong and I have no idea where they got that forward mast set up from (looks like a 1950's freighter). Until they found her in 1985 I always hoped something like this would happen, I remember the papers speculating before the first dive that she could be shiny like new and in one piece because such depths wouldn't support any life.. oh well
lostthe80s 1 year ago
@lostthe80s - The bow is correct, it's just those 3 tall vents and solid bulkhead wall on the tips of the bow. To tie-in onboard deck scenes with the ex-Grace Lines liner "ATHINAI", they copied the ships forward bow vents. It would have been easier to have cut the vents off the ATHINAI. It never crossed their minds during filming.
RaiseTheTitanic1980 1 year ago
@RaiseTheTitanic1980 I never understood, why they show pictures from the real Titanic at the beginning, but still get parts of the ship wrong. :/
CJCA915 1 year ago
@CJCA915 - Hello. The prologue was edited at the last minute, even after filming had finished onboard the liner ATHINAI which stood in for the raised Titanic. That ship had the solid bulkhead and 3 tall cowl vents on her bow. The film crew had them made for the 55ft Titanic model to allow blending in. However, they had not take into account eagle eyed viewers who realise the real ship never had those vents to start with.
RaiseTheTitanic1980 1 year ago
@RaiseTheTitanic1980 Well, it's a good movie, but it brought in less revenue than they had used to make it. :/
I think they should have a remake, I think it'd be awesome, like with the same soundtrack, etc. Just newer visual effects, and correcting these tiny mistakes, while still maintaining the view that that Titanic had still been in one piece.
Also, I can't seem to find it anywhere, I had to come across it online, is there no Blu-ray version?
CJCA915 1 year ago
@CJCA915 They were actually going to use a sequence showing the Titanic sinking in the opening titles but that idea never made it into the film.
Mowac 1 year ago
I want to congratulate you on a good job of editing this sequence. We all know there are flaws to the film, but it's a film. When they made it, they knew little of its condition. Survivors reports conlicted with senior officers, even Jack Thayer first class passenger drew it breaking up, but it had to be hushed up as there were legalities and reputations at stake. This scene is pure fantasy. When the film was made it re-opened dreams of finding it. I remember the audience gasping at this scene.

sweeterthananything 1 year ago
@sweeterthananything - Survivors did state the ship broke apart during sinking, even onboard the rescue ship CARPATHIA. But surviving officers also stated the ship sank from them intact, so it was more common to believe a senior officer than a passenger, who afterall was out to sue the White Star Line.
RaiseTheTitanic1980 1 year ago
@sweeterthananything yes it did splite but nt fully thay did try 2 raise it bk up but it just broke even more and now the ship is fully in 2 top and bottom ov the ship is about 1 to 2 mile apart at the bottom ov the see
army20067 1 year ago
This was before anyone saw it underwater. So everyone thought it was all intact.
sorarl1 1 year ago
I thought the ship broke in half, and how the poles and everything still there? How are the big steam things at the top of the ship still there? They fell off as well as the ship breaking in half. And when they rose the titanic, it would sink again because of the iceberg cuts and you dont see them in this movie!!!????

it should be in two pieces

@thelegofankid
The original novel was written in 1976 while the movie was released in 1980. The wreckage itself wasn't located until 1984. It was assumed that the ship stayed intact after it sank.

@tascott59 - In Cusslers novel she did come up stern first. For the film they decided to have her come up bow first as they felt it not only looked better, but also helped to better the publicity department when selling the film as her bow is more instantly recognisable.

I always loved this movie. Richard Jordan is to Dirk Pitt the way Sean Connery is to James Bond, and Anne Archer is cute. This clip just goes to show that sometimes you don't need any actors at all to be moved by a scene. Great video.

RaiseTheTitanic1980 1 year ago
@chainbluelightning1 I agree. Richard Jordan(R.I.P) to me WAS Dirk Pitt. I believe if they had built a franchise and paid more attention to detail and stuck to the books, it could have been as successful as the Bond films. Considering Clive Cusslers books still sell far more than Ian Flemings Bond books ever sold. Although Richard Jordan wasn't as tall as Pitt, he still conveyed what I always imagined Pitt to be like,

That was the "whole" point to this video. Re-edit, re-sampled FX audio. I never had any intentions of putting the music score in, that would defeat the purpose of this video. . . . . However, take a look at my 2010 re-edit which has the newer digital stereo soundtrack.
