Titanic Models (Perfect and Wrecked Conditions)

I have constructed models of the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic which sank on April 15th, 1912 in both the condition that she left Southampton in and how she looks today on the ocean floor (They're alright but not great, enjoy!)

NOTE: Please disregard the errors with the Credits closer to the end of the video, I am still learning how to use new windows movie maker.

Great models man!!!

THUMBS UP TO RAISE THE TITANIC BEFORE IT RUSTS AWAY!!!

@conor0044 Thank you! I am nearing completing my wreck model so there will a new video coming soon. As for raising the Titanic, there would be almost a 100% chance of it falling apart during the accent. even though only 20-40% of the iron in the ship has been eaten away, it is simply far too weak. And besides, Titanic is a grave so I think she should stay where she is. A whole Titanic on the ocean floor is more captivating then if the ship were to be raised and displayed.

@conor0044 That being said, studies are being conducted and we may see advances that will allow the ship top be prserved on the ocean floor.

Aside from the 9400 Germans that perished in the worst maritime disaster in wartime, the worst sinking in peacetime was in 1987 when the MV Dona Paz sank outside the Phillipines, killing 4375, yes almost three times as many as the Titanic. Ever heard about THAT sinking??

What about the sinking of the MV Le Joola in 2002 outside Senegal? 1863 dead. 10 years ago. More dead than the Titanic. Heard about that one?

You would if you did some research. Google it.

@McLarenMercedes I know of all three sinkings and each year I commemorate each one; just not as openly because the loss of these three ships is not well known (and they really should recieve more attention) among the public. I have never said that the sinking of the Titanic is the worst maritime disaster; It is by far the most famous.

@coupedevillekid Ah yes I've viewed that in awe and admiration several times now. It is absolutely fantastic; way better than mine! haha

Not a chance in hell. It's only a decade or two before the superstucture collapses and the ship becomes another "Lusitania" which today looks like a heap of twisted metal that bears no resemblance to the ship it once was.

Now while you mention the 1500 or so souls that perished on the Titanic do you care for the 9400 German souls that died on the Wilhelm Gustloff when it was torpedoed in the Baltic Sea by a Soviet sub? It was mostly German refugees fleeing.
