Sam's family intend to give him the entire ship, one piece at a time.

owning a part of the Olympic is a bucket list item for me.

Sam is so passionate about the Olympic it’s adorable

You could not give a better gift to a maritime historian and Titanic enthusiast. Sam is very fortunate to have you for a sister.

Best sibling pair on KZfaq!!

Best sister ever… Happy Birthday Sam, you don’t look a day over 18!!!

You're such a good family, Sam looked so happy. I'm glad he had a great birthday and got some wonderful gifts!

I love how excited he was. I would be too.

Who are the two people who dislike this video? How could you possibly not like this video of Sam’s wholesome family celebrating his birthday?

I never would have guessed he's 30 I was thinking between 19 and 23 dude looks great for his age all I'm going to say lol

Happy 30th birthday Sam! From the UK. That was just so interesting to see the pieces of the Olympic ship and a piece of Titanic!! Great channel.

Both the wooden panel & decking could be used as a base to place a model of the ship for which the artifact originated from. Definitely would tie it all together once again. Great gifts. 😜👍👍 This is for Rachel, did you notice Lego forgot the red white star line flag? I just made my own today was pretty simple to make and now makes the whole ship complete.😇✌

Hey Rachel, I had such a fun time watching this video!.... And Happy 30th birthday Sam! 🎂 🎊 This is all so cool & amazing! So nice to get a glimpse of the love in your family.... It's such a blessing! Thank goodness there was no "Scotch Tape" incident this time! Lol! 🤣 Sorry Rachel I couldn't resist! I received a little piece of TITANIC this week too! My wife knows my love for the ship so she found a commemorative coin with a piece of coal in the center of it from TITANIC. It came with authenticity papers also. She got it for me as a anniversary gift! So great of her! I've got my little TITANIC display going on in the hutch now... I have 2, 3rd. class White Star Line replica cups, & my TITANIC coal. I'm awaiting my Lazer printed Titanic and Nomadic models to go along with it for the display! I guess Sam and I are lucky & blessed to have family to feed our TITANIC/White Star Line addictions! 😎👍

Oh Cool ! Bubble Wrap is the best present ever !

“He got it one piece at a time” 🎵

Happy birthday my friend big fan of you,ya i am like you too ocean liner fan

Oh wow how cute is this video! The cutest family and Sam seems a nice genuine guy, which is why I subscribed to his channel 🙂

I'll be staying at the white swan hotel in September. Can't wait to put my hands on those grand staircase banisters.

Happy Birthday Sam

Happpy Birthday Sam!! What a wonderful gift! We all Love you, and your family!! Thank you Rachel!

A very happy boy with his toys! Someone knows how to make him happy. A visit to the White Swan in Alnwick is called for now. Not only are there many parts of Olympic in its fabric and fittings, but the Castle was used for Harry Potter. It's in a nice rural part of England too. The drilled hole on the face of the decking is a recess for a bolt head or a nut. There wood be a round plug of wood on top filling it flush to the deck. The bolt shank protruded through the smaller hole on the back. The spaces between the planks would be filled with okum- basically string onto which hot tar was poured to create a seal. I've been on my knees picking okum all day, miles of the bloody stuff. Luckily we did it in fine Spring weather and we got a couple of crates of out dated fizzy drinks ( the unsaleable stuff like Diet Irn Bru and Diet Pepsi ) We used bronze tools. I've no idea why bronze, but its what the bosun had. I supplied two tea pots for the tar, onto which a long handle was bolted. The spouts were perfect for pouring tar into the seams. I spent a day with a Pole cutting and welding the bolts to the deck onto which we later drilled and bolted the decking. This kept us out of mischief cos the deck was steel sheeting which was anything but flat. The steel sheet was all per modern MCA regs, and I've no idea if these older decks were just wood. The pole was quite a lad, his English was poor, so we used German and Russian for numbers ( Russian up to 8 cos it's all I could remember ), some basic English, and cos he had a sense of humour, and because I knew he couldn't understand a bloody word of it, I used French just for the hell of it with lots of gestures. He responded in kind.

I've never seen a grown man be so happy at getting a piece of wood for his birthday, but here we are! I know its from olympic

Sam is the most lucky person.

Greatest sister ever truly the greatest sister ever at @historictravels is very blessed

And to make it even more crazier to think captain Smith would've walked along that wood from the promenade deck.

Happy birthday Sam 🎂

Now I'm definitely checking out your Olympic videos!

ITS UP STAIRS! ITS UP STAIRS! 😳He definitely didn’t want you to sing happy birthday to him lol. Tell Sam to make a video of why fat people weren’t allowed on the ship because the displacement would be off and water would spills all over the bulkheads!!!!!!!

That is so amazing that you got that Olympic artifact. Fun fact I actually attended the 100th anniversary event in Deerborn Michigan at the Henry Ford it was incredible and I ended up getting the largest piece of coal ever recovered from the titanic so I now have that artifact. It has the certificate of authenticity and everything

I'm so happy for Sam ! 🥰 Now he own a part of the Olympic !

parents that care, very nice

Wow a piece of the Olympic, that is so cool! Almost makes up for the damaged Olympic post card 😂

Very very cool!!! My great, great grandfather Pops Macmillan was a foreman on the keel crew for Titanic. I believe for The Olympic as well.

Many Happy Returns of the Day Sam!

It must be SO NICE to be loved like that.

You’re a good dude 👍 I use to be really close with my sister like that... then we got older and I moved away for better work unfortunately

So cool! Crazy, crazy awesome!!! Happy thirtieth bud! I’m in my mid nearing late thirties and feel a heck of a lot better when someone whom I guessed was about 26 hit the big three zero... Seriously, as an Air Force aviation historian (unofficially) whom used to volunteer for an Air Force museum many years ago, I love history and got to live it... Unfortunately, most of my WWII, Korea, and even Vietnam war veteran friends have passed... Best wishes and I can’t wait for your next episode...

Sam 30? Look like a teenager to me😳👍🎃 Happy birthday.

That’s pretty sick Sam

WAIT HES 30 I THOUGHT HE WAS 22 OR 25 Also happy birthday :D

Congrats Sam. I also turned 30 this year! 1991 ❤

And his beautiful sister gives a matching gift! What a family! Happy 30th!

Happy Birthday Sam! God bless you & your family!

thats so awesome...if anyone deserves a part of these great ships its you...for keeping the memories alive... happy birthday....hope for more years of your channel also

Happy Birthday Sam..best Family ever to get such nice things...Rachel your awesome...😀

Your video finally sold me. After about a year of debating it, I finally put in an order for a piece smaller than this, but large enough to stand out on a shelf. Love the panel but saw what one of those goes for and just...nope. too steep for me. 😂

Your parents and sister are so awesome to get those artifacts for you.

Awesome Birthday Sam, Happy Birthday! You have a very caring family. Thanks for sharing. John, Indiana

No literally crying you guys are so amazing. Happy birthday Sam. I hope Sam one day comes to Halifax Nova Scotia. I love there and we have so much maritime history. Crying over the love u guys have for each other wow

Wow It's so impressive to see those pieces of artifacts! That's a great collection he has!

But the wood panel though is so cool.

Happy Birthday Sam!!!! It looks like the piece came from an area of where the funnels were tethered with the cables through the deck and bolted to it. But it is a nice piece from the promenade.

Such awesome gifts. Happy birthday, Sam!
