Hey, ahoy there again, Sam! I agree that the men in the boiler rooms were the biggest heroes of the disaster. They had to have realized that to stay so far down in the ship meant there was an excellent chance of their dying and yet they chose to stay and do what they could. May their sacrifice never be forgotten. As for the Lego Titanic model, I say go for it!

Really annoys me that, we know all about Guggenheim and the Countess and Astor and the very young Mrs Astor. Which, yes, all of them have stories. But I do wish history would remember the names of every one of those men who KNEW they were going to die but stayed in place doing all they could to keep Titanic afloat….so that Astor, Guggenheim and co could die or be rescued in a much more opulent manner.

They abandoned the mail room when it became apparent they couldn't save any mail. They worked their best, but eventually were unable to move the mailbags any further up. They actually sat on the steps of a ladder with a couple of passengers, discussing the situation as they watched the bags floating in the deck below. They were also seen on the Boat Deck, later on.

Those who are delaying the sinking has got to have recognition other than the more famous passengers and crew (I feel that the wireless operators needs more love and attention too. Yes I've watched The Last Signals). I've known of their exploits from the documentary Saving the Titanic. Really great since it focuses on the crew down at the boiler rooms and engine room; they are the stars and among the heroes.

I have a suggestion for a video for you. When I was in high school, I had to do a paper on a historical event and how that event changed the world. I picked the Titanic for my event and while I was researching for the paper, I was surprised to learn that just how much radio law was affected by the Titanic’s sinking. I guess it really peaked my interest because I was a fairly active ham radio operator at the time (still licensed currently, but I’m not active, not enough time in the day anymore), and because I was already interested in the Titanic. Anyway, thought it might make an interesting video in the future. Love your content, keep up the good work!

There is another group of crewmembers who died early in the night. This is not normally mentioned too heavily but at some point one of the officers, (Lightoller I believe) sent the ships master-at-arms below with some of his sailors to open two of the heavy gangway doors some decks below to possibly load lifeboats from there closer to the water than from the davits. He left with his crew and was never seen or heard from again. The story goes that "apparently" they got caught below in some sudden inrush of water and they all died. In modern times, one of the explorations of the Titanic found that the gangway doors WERE found to be open. So, apparently, the Master-at-arms and his crew DID manage to do their job but died somewhere along the way afterwards. This story is not talked about much but I have seen it mentioned a few times. This, then, would have been some of those who died early in the night. A slight problem with trying to determine who died when is that some of the more recent movies have shown dramatic scenes of people staying (and drowning) in their cabins. So many of these portrayals, while dramatic, don't seem to have any reality to them aside from trying to make a dynamic point. (Titanic 1997) showed this several times for a dramatic effect and truly it was more gruesome than helpful. (Example: ) The Straus's lying in their flooding bedroom holding each other tightly is pure idiocy. They were last seen, first along the boat deck railing and finally, to anybody's notice, they were seen huddled inboard by one of the bulkheads. They were never seen returning to their cabins. Another phony thing was the dead body of a young woman in a flimsy nightgown floating near the ceiling of the First Class Lounge. This kind of thing is, to me, cheap and a bit creepy and should not have been included in the movie.

I've wondered about this and ended at the same conclusion although it seems bizarre that so much of the ship could be flooded without anyone dying up to that point. On a related note, I've also wondered if the sinking could have been delayed had Barrett not closed the coal bunker door and instead they had attempted to pump the compartment's flooding as a whole instead of allowing the water to build up until the door (presumably) failed. I seem to remember that they had things reasonably stable until that point. Particularly as the water coming into the bunker was described as having the nature of that from an ordinary firehose- which should have been controllable until the flooding elsewhere made things worse. This isn't to suggest that it wasn't entirely reasonable or natural for Barrett to close the bunker door in response to seeing water entering there.

I mean, I know the Cameron movie is historically not accurate in many places, but it does imply the possibility that people might have died in the cargo section immediately after impact. In the movie, the car where Jack and Kate had sex shortly before the ship struck the ice berg was destroyed in the initial moments of the disaster. Jack, Kate, and the two guys who were searching for them and had been in the cargo area would have died if the berg had been struck half an hour earlier. I don't know if these sections were accessible, as they are presented to be in the movie, but if they were then we can't rule out that someone died down there.

The ship would have sunk, but instead of going down bow first then splitting into four pieces, Titanic would have lost all electrical power then capsized. And in any case, she would have sunk far faster and quite likely very few people would have survived. A capsizing ship makes launching the lifeboats impossible, and the lethal cold of the waters where she sank killed people within minutes. In an ironic way, the collision and sinking scenario gave the crew and passengers more time than the others.

I totally agree with you - the engineers, firemen, and others who sacrificed their lives trying to keep the ship afloat as long as possible (and in Harvey's case, to attempt to rescue a fallen comrade) are the most heroic and inspiring people to me of the Titanic disaster. I don't think I'll be purchasing the Lego Titanic, myself. So I'd absolutely love to see someone showing it off, and there's nobody I'd rather see doing so than you! Please - do it! :-)

My mind went back to your earlier videos where I’d give minor corrections from obscure sources. Yet I think this is the first video that talks about this specific topic, so I will probably direct others to this video when it is asked. Yet at the same time I feel as though I nitpicked everything. This video is flawless. And now I understand what an access hatch is; for some reason, the closest I had to a mental image was the “doorframe” of the watertight doors. And that thumbnail is amazing to look at. I think I saw it on DeviantArt some time ago, and seeing it again is wonderful. On a final note, is it possible that down the line that a video could be done on _Titanic_ survivors who ultimately met their fates in subsequent shipwrecks? I don’t remember anyone doing something like this in video format, and it would give perspective that, despite surviving the _Titanic_ disaster, some of the survivors would succumb to early deaths anyway, sometimes in ways even _more_ tragic than the _Titanic._ With regards, Daniel

I remember watching a documentary from the 90's or late 80's while being a very young kid talking about how the mailmen were the first know people to die on the ship because they got trapped while trying to save the mail. It's funny how opinions differ from time to time

It’s stories like this that remind me how amazing men actually are. When faced with death those men chose to meet their fate just for the *chance* *to* *try* to spare lives.

Great video as always. I've learned a lot, too. R.I.P. to those two men, and to every hero on that ship that fateful night. Also, yes. I'd recommend getting that LEGO Titanic. I think that it would be cool and work well with your channel.

That was a really interesting video, Sam. I never heard of the second man before but I have of Jonathan Shepherd. His story was a tragic one and to hear about how he lost his life was truly heartbreaking, and I bet it must’ve been the same for his family.

0:46 I’m glad you finally got it! I’ve been a Lego + Titanic enthusiast since I was young and I always wanted Lego to make a Titanic set and I was so happy when they finally did! I can’t afford it right now, but hopefully in the future I will get this set :D

Do you know if they recovered the marconi wireless system this past summer? I know they were supposed to, but I also know that there was some controversy about recovering it. I haven't heard anything about it, was just wondering if you have? Thanks

Take the plunge! You can use it and your other model. The other model you use can cover events while it was whole, the Lego one can separate to show events after breakup or for cross sections, or even post sinking displays

I just watched a dramatisation of this yesterday. It showed all of that happening, the guy breaking his leg, the other guy going back for him just as the water rushed in, and Barratt just climbing up the ladder at the last minute. I don't know how true this part is but in the film Barratt had been made to work two double shifts for fighting. The officer who made him do it ended up giving him a letter to give to his son coz he knew he wasn't getting off the ship. Barratt survived but it didn't show you how he survived. There was another guy, am Irish one who they called Paddy, and he survived too, or at least in the film but I imagine they kept it true to life because they showed photos and the names of the ones who didn't make it at the end of just as the credits rolled. I watched it on here, it was called The forgotten Heroes Of Titanic or something like that.
