The smartest passenger was the ship's cat. One of the crew members that took care of the cat, saw her taking her kittens off the ship before it left Ireland. He saw that as a bad omen and left the ship and took the cat home.

I really enjoyed how you broke it up by class. I never even realized second class was a thing nor what their rooms would be like.

The storytelling method of this video is really top notch. You did amazing, Ken.

As a child in Europe I had an interest/fascination with the Titanic solely because of the architecture, they simply do not build ocean liners anymore. Carnival cruise barges do not count!

Then I looked into the Britannia, Lusitania et cetera.The Italian ships definitely had class even into mid century modern era.

Great video! Cheers!

The radio man on the other ship kept trying to warn Titanic re: the icebergs but the Titanic radio man was so busy sending out the First Class passengers' telegrams that he asked him to keep quiet. Bcz of this rudeness, the other radio man turned off his radio. Thusly, no help arrived.

Seeing the grand staircase with all its levels is amazing! No matter how massive and state of the art modern cruise ships get, they just can't match the fine opulent design and craftsmanship of the White Star Line.

I’ve always have been fascinated with the Titanic. Yes, would love more of these types of videos. How about doing a video on the Presidential Yacht?

As to your comment about it being outside the norm to feature the Titanic on this site, remember the description of ships of this era: "when country houses went to sea." I feel that showing these ships, the large NYC apartments of Marjorie Merriweather Post and John D. Rockefeller, Jr; and even the Penthouse Suite of the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco will all fit nicely on this site. Keep up the good work!

I would like to see a few of these on Titanic from the perspective that you give. Particularly interested in the artistry, such as that staircase. The social intrigue is fun, as we get a peek into what the builders and owners of the Gilded Age were doing. Really nice job, thanks.

I was just thinking how I want to see visuals of the titanic then or now and you delivered. Thanks!

Encyclopedia Britannica states that the Californian warned the Titanic that they were surrounded by ice at 10:55 pm. The Titanic ignored this warning. Apparently, the ship was not able to assist.

I enjoyed seeing the two images of the suite starting at 3:40 with the Morris & Co. "Utrecht" cut velvet on the walls. How luxurious indeed!

I have been fascinated by the Titanic ever since I read the Clive Cussler book Raise the Titanic when I was twelve. When she was discovered, I religiously watched the News for every glimmer of information I could get, and I still have the National Geographic that detailed the expedition. When the Titanic exhibition came to the museum of science and industry in Chicago, I went and was blown away. They had the biggest peice of her hull that had been brought up, completely with portholes and nearly was kicked out because I stepped over the rope barrier and touched her hull. I simply couldn't stop myself. But the most amazing thing was they were selling little lumps of coal that had been brought up. It's one of my prized possessions. I will never walk on her decks, I will never sleep in one of her cabins, but I have touched her, and I have my own little piece of her. She was inarguably the most famous ship of all time.

I started being fascinated with the titanic at 10yrs. Thank you for sharing this

Points to bring to your attention -
The Titanic blasted the californian to shut, get off the wireless earlier.

The wireless shut down at night and very wisely the Californian stopped for safety
because she was in the middle of a ice field very smart .

The californian wireless worked their full day
and didn't't want to be rudely treated yet again. The Marconi Wireless was a private company and service, not cosidered to be part of ship saftey, rather a. Luxery for passangers .

The Titanic arrogantly & STUPIDLY blasted forward through a ice field . Just like Oceangate both acted with actions that got them their front page headlines, ignoring saftey and sound advice . Place blame where it blongs .
Food for thought, and thanks for your excellent work, well done.

It would be good if you did the most beautiful ship The Normandie, sad what happened to it.

This was amazing, how Grand &Luxurious the interior was for first class...enjoyed this video so much.

Great video!! Bravo, !. I've known of the Titanic since I was a little kid in the 1970s. Waaay before anyone was talking about her. Intriguing point you said Ken --that the staircase was ejected from the ship through the glass dome. I have NEVER heard that!!. Been to, read, and seen most everything that's been said about the Titanic since Ballard discovered it in '85. NO ONE ever even remotely hinted at that comment concerning the staircase. Where did you discover that golden nugget, ???!!. And I'll say it again, you've done another great video. Love, love love your channel! Great work!. 👏👍❣️

At time mark, 5:55, the "fire damage" point to the location of the first class swimming pool, and the dark spot was just a shadow in the photo, the fire was taken place nearly directly below the starboard bridge wing at and just below water level. The fire in fact saved the ship (even tho unplanned), for when she hit the iceberg she was listing about 10 degree to port, the iceberg hit starboard, as the flooding happen, she was pulled to list about 15 degree to starboard. Without the fire causing the firemen to dig out the coal on one side of the ship, Titanic would had capsized before the first lifeboat was launch.

I sailed 4 times on the SS Norway (formerly SS France), an ocean liner from decades ago and refurbished to much of it's original glamour for cruising the Caribbean until it was scrapped after a explosion in the boiler room that killed a couple workers. That ship was luxurious, majestic and classy, just like the Titanic. I loved that ship and haven't cruised since it was towed to the ship's graveyard to be torn apart. There are no cruise ships like that anymore. Now they are all theme parks on water. No thanks! This was very interesting. It reminded my of the Norway.
