RMS Titanic: The Ghost of the North Atlantic

She has been a ghost for 96 years, a silent phantom sailing on a voyage she will never complete. For 96 years she has rested on the sea floor, a silent tombstone, marking the graves of the 1,523 souls who parished with her, and a silent reminder of one of mankind's greatest triumphs and greatest tragedies. She is the legendary RMS Titanic.

fuck you calafornian you were so close to the titanic if you would just leave your trasmitter on then you wouldve saved all of the passengers

@chekyman123

The colllison may have been avoided had the orders been clearier (Murdoch ordered hard a starbard, in Tiller Orders that ment turn left, and Hitchens paniced and briefly turned right instead of left) the Califonian might have responded had the distress rockets been red instead of white and Titanic's crew had been firing them at 1 minute intervals (The signial for distress) instead of 4-8 minute intervals (which said we've suffered enginge trouble and warned ships to stay away)

When it comes to Titanic, people understand the story of the ship and those on board, what many don't understand is the era that created Titanic

Thank you Carpathia!

@americangirl1800

Sadly Carpathia joined Titanic on the bottom in 1918, she was torpedoed and sunk by the U-55, whose captain was well known for being ruthless, he is known to have drowned survivors he rescued by confiscating their life jackets, shooting up their lifeboats and submerging beneath them, later the captain would go on to become a high ranking officer in the SS

in my opinion...i think they should just let the ship rest...its not a toy or an experiment for us...its a graveyard. just leave it be and the dead-inhabitants to rest! who agrees?

This Ship Has Been Underwater For 100 Years

i read in a book that they think the 3rd class passengers really were locked away. A survivor (one that was in the last boat pulling away from the sinking ship) once said that she remembers watching all the 3rd class passengers finally arriving on deck as the last boat rowed away. How cruel is that? 3rd class being treated no better than slaves.

@snakes3425, that ios the story that is lost in ths tragedy.

@musicbox63

Robert Ballard found Titanic's wreck. However the law says Titanic's remains are in international waters and she's wasn't an active duty warship or troopship so there are no laws protecting the site from salvers. many wrecks are only granted any sort of protection if they were sunk during wartime while in military service or had active duty military personel on board at the time of the sinking

[musicbox63]

@CharmedSW AMEN! The name of the man who found the Titanic escapes me at the moment, but I've read several times he later regretted finding the ship and going public with the news, for exactly the reason you wrote.

@snakes3425 great vid

[globehunter2]

These souls that sailed on the Titantic along

the sea, sank into cold waters that sweep

them into Eternity, but no death or oceans

roar could keep them all from heavens door.

May they rest in Peace
