I heard that the titanic and the iceberg played football in a brief truce before she sank
Christopher Morris
I like letting this run in the background sometimes
To all the people who are going to come into this thread and say "If they rammed right into the iceberg it wouldn't have sunk!".
Yeah just don't. They wanted to avoid it entirely if they could which is why they didn't. It would have totally smashed up the front of the ship and wouldn't have worked other than the entire ship might not have sunk.

Some of the survivor stories from the Titanic are pretty interesting.
Like the ship's chief baker kept slowly drinking whiskey throughout the night as the ship sank. When the ship finally breaks up and goes down he is right there on the stern and steps off as it goes under. He was swimming in the freezing water for over two hours until the sun came up and he made it to one of the collapsible boats. Apparently the whiskey allowed him to stave off hypothermia.
Henry Barnes
When does it hit the iceberg?!
Robert Hall
This one didn't sink, it was buried;
Connor Scott
It was probably the alcohol and the fact he was a fat bastard that kept him comfortable enough to keep swimming (while everyone else was clinging to debris or just floating and not exerting themselves), therefore keeping his core body temperature up, preventing him losing consciousness, and dying from hypothermia.
Austin Smith
Fucking Jews
Can't keep getting away with it

HMS Mary Rose is fairly intact for a 500 year old wooden ship, although half the ship was crushed when she capsized.
There was the wreck of the SS America in the Canary Islands, but the wreck's effectively disintegrated.

It was actually the waves that destroyed the America. Just kept tugging at the ship, ripping off piece by piece. Most of the metal that made up the ship is still there, it's just a pile of steel lying just under the surface though.
Parker Lee
I always loved these paintings as a kid, they looked so real to me.

Should we spend gigabux to raise the remains and put them in a museum?

can some1 explain to me why i should care about the titanic
my grandpa corresponded with a lot of the survivors and owns a large bookshelf dedicated to titanic stuff and a piece of the titanic and did presentations on it and so on and so on. spent years collecting stuff and i have no idea how it could be so interesting
Henry Jackson
that's because you are minus-ing
Lincoln Reyes
Hurrrr history board why should I care about history it's not interesting
Ryan Gomez
It was sunk on orders of the Admiralty as a last ditch effort to control a zombie outbreak. really.
Interesting. I never thought much about the fashions people might have worn on the ship, especially during the sinking. I like that this team seems to be going all out for the game. They are even in talks to have Margaret Brown's great-great-grandaughter voice her.
Lucas Martin
>reading comments for this and other videos >comments in the livestreams
Holy fuck people are giant whiners, aren't they?
Matthew Miller
What is the current state of the wreck today? Is it still relatively intact? I remember reading that it would have been disintegrated by 2012, but I haven't seen anything else on it.
Jace Campbell

It's still there, but only the stern. Wikipedia has an approximate of the year it'll finally collapse. It's sad, thinking about all those lives lost, the bodies which will be below the iron forever.
Cooper Davis
Fukken lol but it should be turned on it's side
Cameron Brown
the bodies are long gone
Angel Watson

Andrew Russell
all I remember about this is Catherine Zeta Jones getting pissed on the Carpathia at an old lady with her dog
and for some reason I'll always remember the way she says
visit pearl harbor if you ever end up on the Hawaiian islands. it's pretty fucking sobering to look out on the harbor and think of the some 1500 skeletons deep down in the bowels of their decaying ships.
there's a museum on site, but the harbor itself is officially a military cemetery.
also, prerepare to be surprised to find yourself surrounded by more Japanese tourists than Americans. It very nearly pissed me off, but then I was thinking, this is how the Japanese must feel when American tourists visit the memorials in Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the fact that we still have military bases on their sacred soil.
Liam Lewis
Comparing the comments this year versus last year's comments is fucking depressing. No wonder they just ignore the comments at this point. Wish they still used that non-Youtube platform for their major livestreams.

that face contorted in terror bleeding from bumps and scrapes he endured in the sinking and struggle in the water calling for help brain too terrified to do much rationally thinking of his family as his body shuts down gradually succumbing to hypothermia his body is carried away decomposing eaten by birds and sharks
Hunter James
I wonder if such a detailed simulation with ever exist in the future for 9/11. Both are extremely interesting events where human action saved many lives and where the structures managed to hold on long enough to save people.
Nathan Price
At least the Japanese tourists are respectful. At least they were when I visited the Harbor. It's crazy to image such a sunny place darkened by columns of smoke, blue waters turned black with oil or even burning and full of men. Watching a restored video of the Arizona exploding is crazy.
Jacob Johnson
>getting pissed off for no reason. Especially when most are respectful.
Liam Adams
Isn't the Bismarck also in decent shape?
Matthew Murphy
Most of her hull is, the stern's ripped off. A lot of the actual components that made her a battleship are gone. Either destroyed in the battle or when she capsized. The gun turrets, the conning tower, fire directors.
I think the most intact large wreck I know of is the USS Yorktown. She's pretty much just sitting on the sea floor with a sight list.
Connor Moore
That's a good thing, we must always remember to never let Masonic leaders drag their countries into war, especially European feudal wars.
Landon Sanders
What about the ships at the Truk islands? Like the Katori
Justin Diaz
More like teach military leaders not to commit to unwinnable battles and wars. The entire Japanese military system was so corrupt and fucked up that a top Admiral said war with the US was impossible to win and he was told "Too bad, get to planning."
Sebastian Green
>Most of her hull is, the stern's ripped off.
The last 50 feet of the ship were not part of the armored core and were still filled with air when the ship capsized so it just imploded as it was dragged further down.
>A lot of the actual components that made her a battleship are gone. Either destroyed in the battle or when she capsized. The turrets fell out almost as soon as the ship capsized and the superstructure (both of them were only held by gravity) was ripped off by the flow of the water. James Cameron found most of the turrets and the admiral's bridge largely intact, but upside down a few miles from the main wreck.
Grayson Roberts
Another interesting wreck is the HMS Victoria. Can't find any decent images of her wreck, but she's stuck halfway into the sea floor with her stern pointing vertical.
Hunter Lewis
I wonder how long those still trapped in air pockets in the lower decks survived. Were any of them still alive when the ship impacted on the the sea floor 10-15 minutes later?
If they were, it must've been absolutely horrifying to realize you were miles below the surface with no possible hope of escape.
Jace Cruz
It is amazing how intact Yorktown is for a treaty carrier that wasn't meant to take so much damage.
Jason Mitchell
I just got a real fucking weird feeling in my bones when I read this. Shit.
Caleb Murphy
Not likely given the incredible pressure the deeper it sank, if a pocket did somehow manage to stay intact until crush depth the implosion would've been sudden and instantly fatal. This is also unlikely as the survivors were scuttling the ship, they'd have left everything open to facilitate it.
This did happen to some submarines, though they bottomed out above their crush depth. The Russian nuclear submarine Kursk sank in 2000 and some of the crew may have survived as much as three days after the disaster.
Alexander Bennett
pissed wasn't the right word to use. I was more taken aback, and yes, most are respectful, but there were indeed a few Japanese tourists that were obviously inebriated, others that spoke very loudly and snapped pics like crazy, which in my view, is disrespectful when at a site designated a cemetery. sure, take a picture or a few and whisper among yourselves, but you need to honor the dead, especially when they are trapped in destroyed ships with no chance for a proper burial by their families.
it's not even a tourist attraction, it's the site of an atrocity open soley for people to educate themselves and pay their repect to those deceased. I don't know how other people were raised, but at every military or civilian cemetery I've been to, it's proper conduct to remain as silent and respectful as possible.
Parker Edwards
Well since the ship was a steel reinforced monstrosity, I imagine some of the air pocket deep within the hull might've remained intact for at least the first few minutes. Of course the impact on the sea floor would've killed anyone who was still alive by that point.
Easton Martin
>a Boat load of rich people died because of """"iceberg"""" collision >Their money is in the bank >Bank is own by Berg people Coincidence?

Not incredibly preserved but still interesting, in New Caledonia there's the wreck of an ore carrier converter liberty ship named Ever Prosperity which stranded in 1965 on the coral reef.
The interesting part is that 5 years later, in 1970, another ore carrier liberty ship also named Ever Prosperity, from the same South Korean company, commanded by the same South Korean captain did the same a few miles north. I've yet to know if the captain kept his job after that.
Angel Morales
>I've yet to know if the captain kept his job after that.
Why wouldn't he? The blame clearly lies with whoever was naming the ships.
Noah Stewart
>2,710 Liberty Ships built >2,400 survived the war >3 are still in existence today

True that naming a ship Ever Prosperity is the same as naming it Unsinkable, you're asking for shit to happen.
