He has survived, the Earth, Wind and Fire, and also Water. He's the legendary airbender

This story only covers part of his adventures. He was shipwrecked on an Island in the Indian Ocean as a teenager. He survived a fire on a ship which the crew fought all the way to port. He also panned for gold during the Yukon gold rush.

Titanic: “It is fated, I’ll take you with me.” Charles Lightoller: “No thanks, I’ll die on my own time.”

"Sorry Jack, there's only room for two" *shows the yarnhub cat*

Who would have knew, that the cat that kept showing up in the videos is actually an french artist?

People aren't perfect. But it's important to give them the credit they deserve alongside their criticism. This was yet another well made video ^_^ thank you. Also, that ending :,D priceless.

When you mentioned his youngest son, his eldest son, the rescue at Dunkirk and his maneuver in evading the Stuka, I figured that it looked familiar...because I saw it in the movie 'Dunkirk' It's amazing that Lightoller was the inspiration for the civilian captain in the movie.

This guy has either the worst luck or the best

Imagine being that lucky and also that unlucky at the same century.

Fun fact: Before Dunkirk, he also did scouting missions with his wife across the English Channel disguised as an normal civilian boat. In one of those scouting missions, an german patrol boat decided to check on them. Before it was too late, Lightoller grabbed an shot cup and an bottle on the lower decks and pretended to be drunk. This actually fooled the germans and they continued on to be very helpful on the fight against the Nazi regiment. If Yarnhub ever notices this, I recommend doing an part 2, because this was an very important part of his life.

That’s very cool. Good job guys.

This man is a true legend in my mind. It’s said that his actions at Dunkirk inspired the character Mr. Dawson in the movie Dunkirk.

This man reminds me of the man in the movie "dunkirk" Ooops would i have watched 10 sek longer i would have seen

Poor Leonardo DiCaprio- I mean, Jack. Poor Jack.

Titanic: "Your coming with me!" Lightroller: Lol nope. Zeppelin: "YOUR GOING DOWN!" Lightholler: Aight bet. Dunkirk: "TIME TO DIE!" Lightroller: No u

I happen to be a relative of Sylvia Lightoller, his wife. I met the old girl when I was 10 & 12y and she was nearly 90. Tough as nails. She had a club foot. She liked her whiskey, much to the horror of her Methodist relatives and she also loved Creme de Menthe. And of course the character in Dunkirk is based on him. They also did a little spying together on the emerging German Navy in the 1930s. My father compared notes with her on Dunkirk vs his experience of Greece and Crete.

The very end of the video is a masterpiece

My great grandfather was involved in Dunkirk. He felt ill on the journey back across the channel and so he went below deck to rest. When he woke up, he went up deck and found everyone dead from what might have been a Stuka attack!

Unfortunately, in the early days of modern naval warfare a lot of the old hands had a strong bias against submariners, and for a surprisingly long time submariners were treated as pirates who deserved to be shot Here is an excerpt from the excellent book Hunter Killers, by Ian Ballantyne ‘They’ll never be any use in war and I’ll tell you why: I’m going to get the First Lord to announce that we intend to treat all submarines as pirate vessels in wartime and that we’ll hang all the crews.’ Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson, Controller of the Royal Navy, 1901

Oh I remember that scene in the dunkirk movie, never realized that character is Charles!

Forget about Violet Jessop "Miss Unskinkable"! Charles Lightoller is the real deal!

Nearer my God to Thee, the only moment in the movie that touched my feelings. 👨‍✈️🎻

I laughed so hard at Jack Dawson yelling and it's only been like 5 seconds

Lightoller reminds me of nurse Violet Jessop, a woman who was on board and survived the Olympic , Titanic, and their sister ship Britannic's disastrous wrecks. The first ship, Olympic, collided with another boat and needed to have repairs, sending Jessop to board the Titanic months later. After Titanic's deadly demise, Britannic was to be the next largest cruise ship, turned into a hospital ship when WWI started, thus making it a target for the enemies. Britannic hit a German mine and sunk just as Titanic did, but quicker, and Violet barely escaped the horrific wreck. Thankfully there were less casualties because the ship carried more lifeboats, only 30 people died, mostly because they didn't listen to authorities and landed their lifeboats too close to the propellers at the end of the ship. Violet was hit by part of the ship's propeller but managed to survive. She's been dubbed "Miss Unsinkable," living till the age of 84.

More yarnhub!

helps me all the time I love yarnhub videos so much!

Excellent video, even if it's an older one! Would love to see this remade and expanded if you were planning on that, because even before his stint on Titanic and his role in the World Wars, Charles Lightoller had quite an interesting and convoluted life story.

Sometime in the 1930's my grandfather took his son, my father, who was born in 1915, to the home of Charles Lightoller which I believe was in St. Albans to purchase a mastiff dog. To my knowledge the sinking was not discussed but my father at least did meet Charles Lightoller. In July 2019 I was in Halifax Nova Scotia and saw the Titanic graves in Fairview Cemetery. Very sobering! P.S. My father also was a Dunkirk veteran!

Love the style of the videos! Awesome job as always!

PLOT TWIST: Yarnhub worked with James Cameron on the Titanic

My great great great grandfather survived the RMS titanic and ww1 and ww2 and the tsunami of 2004 he died when i was 4 R.i.p Thompson Crosby 1902-2012 you will be loved for the rest of my titanic sized life and I miss you so much

Very educational video! You deserve more attention!

This much dedication for historic videos, this is VERY underrated, I wish more people find this channel!

These videos are the reason I subscribed. Thanks Yarnhub ;3.

This channel is SO UNDERRATED. Your animation quality keeps increasing and increasing and you don't even have 100k yet, which is a shame in my opinion. You deserve all of your subs and WAY more. Keep it up! :)

Yarnhub needs more subscribers

Very, very good video! I have been waiting for a Titanic related video for ages! Amazing job!

Another amazing video! Keep up the good work!

This man must have one heck of a life

Never knew that man had survived three times during his career at the sea. The video is outstanding as always by the way, as well as the cat! :D

I’m still watching this video, brilliant work buddies

Great channel looking forward to more

Being on the Titanic would've been a lucky moment for some, but little did they know it will be their last bit of joy here on the living

Hats off to the narrator and the one who wrote the script. it felt more like i am witnessing this scene even thou my grandfather was not born at that time . Your Nicola Tesla and Yuri Gagarin one are my favorite and now this one is included too . My god just 3 Lakh subs ? You deserve 10M subs for these amazing type of videos

Awesome production. Thanks

I love the music you put in the end. You have a great taste!!!!

Great video! I really like the animation style, the mix of 2D and 3D works really well together. More people should do this.

Queen Elizabeth after finding out he is still alive: Finnaly a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary

Goodie Another CGI And Animation Being Formed together A truly perfection i must say this work is surely a masterpiece i have to give you a like!

Harland and Wolff: "How did she sink?? She was built for two-compartment flooding!" The water: *pours out the top of the compartments like overflowing water*

Damn... This episode is good. Really good, the integration of 3D and 2D animation is well made! Whether or not this trait will continue, you guys make amazing videos of history.

He didn’t enforce the “women and children first” protocol. Officer Murdoch did and allowed men to board when all available women and children in the general vicinity were no longer available. Officer Lightoller on the other hand interpreted the order as “women and children only” and denied nearly all men who attempted to board. Titanic’s lifeboats nearly had 400 empty seats. Murdoch has loaded nearly 100 more passengers on his side than Lightoller.

awesome video keep up the good work

What an underrated channel. Amazing visualizations and animations. You deserve millions of subscribers!

This channel is very underrated its one of the best history channels on KZfaq

Best History channel

Great Video! Incredibly Underrated!

10/10 video dude, I love the new animations!

Titanic,zeppelin and Dunkirk: your time has come. Lightoller: not really *reverse card*

The underrated Houdini everyone didnt know.

Nice vid yarnhub love it

Great video guys!

Очень крутое видео, спасибо, YarnHub!

Is no one gonna talk about how jack was screaming “IM THE KING OF THE WORLD!” At the beginning? Lol

Loving the content bro! 🌠🎩🌠

Keep up the great work love the the videos

i like that the 4th chimney wasn't steaming.

Never thought about what happened when the water hit the Titanic's boilers.

I wanna go see his boat ! Good Video, like always. Keep it going :)

I love your animation style. Keep it up!

This guy sounds awesome!

crew member: captain, what if we hit an iceberg captain: do not fret, this boat is indestructible it couldnt be scratched with metal crew member: uh sir we hit an iceberg and we are now sinking captain: *suprised pikachu face*

I can’t stop watching this it is such a awesome story

Loved the “I’m the king of the world” detail in the start 😂

The Stuka (a.k.a the Junkers Ju 87) was one of the deadliest and powerful German dive bombers during ww2. If it weren’t for Herbert and his advice to his father, The Sundowner would’ve surely been sunk along with all the other men on the ship.

Officers: *does not fill most of the lifeboats to full capacity* Lifeboats: are we a joke to you?

Great job yarnhub 👍

Subscribed the quality is so gooood

Thumbnail: Lightoller How I read it: *Light"TROLLER"*

The ship never reversed her engines, just stopped them. The reversing part is a movie myth.

Damn this Channel is very underrated keep up the great animations👏💪👍

Your animations keep getting better and better!

I couldn’t imagine how terrifying it would have been to hear the dive siren from a JU-87

Another neat 3D animation

Great video!

0:05 " Im the king of the wor..... " Great video by the way

0:05 ''im the king of the world''

Just in case you didn't notice: one of the chimneys of the ship is never seen working: this is because it wasn't used during the maiden voyage of the Titanic. Amazing attention to details as always!

One omission here on the TITANIC part: He actually got sucked under against ventilators TWICE. This was the first time you described. The second time, he got sucked back down (don't know if it was the same ventilator), and he never knew how he got away from that one, and at this point he had resolved that he was dead. After getting away from the second one was when he found Collapsible B and the rope.

Brilliant story, l loved this story! Very interesting indeed!
