The Titanic took over 90 minutes to sink, mostly upright, lights on and orchestra playing. The Lusitania, by contrast went down in 15. The Empress of Ireland, and most other wrecks were also quick and rolled over or otherwise got the job done without glamor. I would argue the Titanic became famous, because it’s sinking was so tragically civilized, and so elegant in its horrific finality.

The narrator is hilariously upbeat for the subject matter. He’s like, “unfortunately the boiler exploded, killing nearly everyone on board! “ 😃😃😃

I know the WORST ship disaster and that was the Wilhelm Gustloff in January 30th 1945, which got hit by 4 torpedoes at 9:16pm by Soviet submarine S13, the German ship sunk in 1 hour killing more than 9000 people with only 1239 survivors

The idea that so many people throughout history are lost underneath the ocean is so jarring.

Greed turns bad in every way. You may get rich, but more valuable things are lost...Thank you for sharing this story with us, Bright Side!

The MV Willhelm Gustloff was the worst wreck of all time with around 10, 000 casualties because the low visibility and the fact that it was so cold the lifeboats froze to their placements. People who somehow reached the lifeboats met with the unfortunate discovery that the ice was too thick for them to free the boats in time.

There were about 5 other movies, including the excellent "A Night to Remember", that also 'made the Titanic famous' before Cameron's film. The Titanic has pretty much been in the public eye since the night she sank.

It’s so crazy how many lives are lost and changed forever due to mere greed.

Since the implosion of the Titan, i find myself watching more sea disaster content here on YT.

For me: The ferry MV Sewol sank on the morning of April 16, 2014, en route from Incheon towards Jeju in South Korea.[16] The 6, 825-ton vessel sent a distress signal from about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi; 1.5 nmi) north of Byeongpungdo at 08:58 KST (23:58 UTC, April 15, 2014).[17] Out of 476 passengers and crew, 306 died in the disaster, including around 250 students from Danwon High School in Ansan City.[18][19][20] Of the approximately 172 survivors, more than half were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels that arrived at the scene approximately 40 minutes before the Korea Coast Guard (KCG).[21]

To me, there's a lot of reasons (beyond the movie) as to why the Titanic is a more talked about shipwreck. Firstly you have that it was a hugely technological ship for its time and was made very famous back then for being called unsinkable and for luxurious it was, with a lot of wealthy people of 1912 having tickets for the ship. Then you have how it went down, the fact that the moon wasn't out so the iceberg wasn't visible, the image of the propellers being lifted from the ocean and the ship breaking in half. It's iconic stuff. Then you have what ultimately was poor handling in the event of it sinking. Not enough lifeboats for everyone, and of the lifeboats on board, none were filled to capacity.

the sultana was not claimed as unsinkable. that's why the titantic is so historic as well as it was the largest cruise ship of its time.

So :
Fix the ship,
Dont overload them,
Dont sail in storms,
Don't trust that people in authority know what they are doing,
Trust your instincts.

The sinking of the MS Estonia is pretty tragic too, only 137 people of nearly 1000 survived. It is also one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.

[GRosehearts]

I'm a filipina and rest in peace to all the people who died on the ships...

[youandiryan]

The Dona Paz ferry disaster in the Philippines, claimed over 4, 385 lives for those of you that don't know, because he doesn't say in the video. The ship was way overloaded with people. I'm pretty sure it was 4, 000+ people. And only a handful survived

I think the reason nobody reaely talks about some of these is some of them were totally avoidable (the Titanic was to a point, but ones like the Sultana was avoidable if the owner of the ship had spent the extra money to fix the boiler correctly, and we know basically the events that took place as a result of his actions). The Titanic is still a bit of a mystery to some (at least, the very details and other theories as to how it could have been avoided, which I think is what makes it the most talked about shipwreck, plus everyone knows about it obviously due to its popularity).

Tragic as it was, it was predictable.. Way overloaded, broken boiler, a flood, etc... Titanic is the one that should not have happened... Clear calm weather, Morse code transmitter... A big Ocean liner that was declared practically unsinkable... Carrying both immigrants and business people, as well as some of the wealthiest people at that time.... Operated by what seemed the most competent crew of the day... Anything big enough to sink the ship they thought they would see in time to avoid it... Olympic already had a couple misshaps without sinking... What could possibly go wrong??? lol
