How the Titanic Worked 

Will and him and him and what is or will hide them in the morning and was very important to oracle anniversary earlier this year that we just been let go by without commemorating specially that line our listeners are still really intrigued by and that's the one hundredth anniversary of the sinking of the now legendary passenger liner the rms titanic on april fourteenth nineteen twelve after it collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from the uk to new york city and it was one of the biggest non- wartime maritime disasters ever more than fifteen hundred people died and so it really continues to haunt people and fascinate researchers who are still examining artifacts and unraveling the stories of the people who traveled on this ill-fated ship and of course there was a lot of coverage for all fast nation and even some news will shortly be discussing in a bed and offense to commemorate this anniversary to including a memorial cruise aboard the ms balmoral cruise ship which retraced the cut tanks exact route and gathered on the dachau eleven forty p.m. on april fourteenth which was the time the titanic hit an iceberg hundred years ago and held a memorial service in according to the daily meal of about fifty of the thirteen hundred people who were aboard the memorial cruise had a direct family connection to the titanic including relatives of the ship 's doctor and relatives of some passengers there was also the presentation of five bronze plaques which includes all the names of the dead from all the classes aboard the ship first second and third class and it said to be the first time that all of these people are included together in one memorial that point was really striking to me that it took a hundred years that happen it amusing that is surprising especially since there have been several memorials and remembrances is our own sort of memorial that we have here today to the titanic sinking if you look at a classic episode of his history classroom two thousand eight on the titanic by this change so that a person talk little bit more about your i is drinking and enjoying by staff writer jane and jane i don't think that there's anything as vague and ties and attention catching in the annals of medical history those straddled it would not greatest day moving history rather than name terry felt figuring that's all sure and it was almost like a hotel on the water and the idea behind it was precisely that i j priest ismay and lord printable shipbuilders in red dinner one night and they were talking about the cute line nearest liners that mauritania lisa kania and they set themselves we can make wine or three even with their planetary triumvirate ships that were even bigger and better the olympic is gigantic and attached as i wanted to make these not only vastly bigger but the luxurious setting and attractive for the unit of the aristocratic of passenger suspend you prepay no one exactly the idea being that the more comfortable and luxury sap the longer distance people would be willing to travel and so they weren't just selling you a couple tice worth of tickets to people were talking about a first class ticket and in today's dollars is equivalent to about forty three thousand dollars to about eighty thousand dollars as a kind of money and meeting people who spend on airfare unifying the world is going to do you do if you deal frightening maternal heath at tenant when to connect so special was interesting because it was so incredibly lush and you have a first-class passengers are they worried they were used to being treated nicely but not as nicely as on this is on this ship anything had such a big unit squash court and thinking that you mentioned the article and eleven answers and never turkestan yes ruined the remedy that people have handled the extra word bite you bring up an important point about the first-class they had access hearing i'm sure that all he noticed that there were three distinct classes on board the titanic first second and carrots and so it's really impressive to your mind as you're picturing the titanic and died in nine different levels of it seemed that it was very stratified their place of the first class were committed to gathering to get anywhere they wanted to make the pickup must they were under downstairs cabin that in the third class pretty much restricted by the that classic metal and this is such a gigantic shadow that required some really assigned pairings make it down and not right here on your engineering and professor know everything about horsepower etc. etc. then i do now that it had chewed giant engines are about four stories tall and these two three blade propellers and twenty three feet across and soda and enable the ship to go about twenty four nine and got me some place and stead the fact that is really certain of in the running against the king and line which is the ship that they wanted to compete against and a much faster than him but it's right at birth in the process is not that you usually miss with the class distinctions you have a check our modern sensibilities as classes in which i yet is but i was singing as they the third class were even treated me maybe even better than other ships the time because they had their own enclosed rooms and about the luxury itself a lack and even how about when you were calming from and the white star line which made the manufacture of the three ships new that many of the mysterious members were european friends are going to new york to start a new life and the second approach this with a delicate sensibility and he wanted to make this a very special and memorable passage from and that and the quarters they had avoided taking or so much nicer than anything in writing and efficient french and they were real mattresses weren't on other ships series had straw filled back to sleep on now that's not to say that compared with the private and semiprivate bath of the upper class tax but i think that there is a bad continuous design and feeling that pervaded the interior step but it wasn't just the third class that had top-of-the-line as everyone is sure to look at the china and everything like they had missed the whole ship in the sort of airy design to it with palm trees everything is lush and you know they wanted to promote this this luxurious atmosphere so much that you locate like the decks a lot clutter them up too much with using safety equipment for instance they say yes so we have the wide open plaza self cleaning with tax and common injuries with the ship designer he designed that ship to be unthinkable and losing to england in the book the engineers and in late passengers aboard were pretty confident on just a sheer size of that the titanic it was so gigantic that they felt really comfortable there that you had was a safe ride typically involving nationwide you nothing that nothing can harm humans in the lawrence is share and as the size of vasectomy people think of and think of all the ships designer injuries designed watertight doors to drop down between each of the fifteen compartments in the bottom of the shaft the idea being that if something happened to the ship at zero three of this compartment five and the ship would sink and even in the straps for to take on some water and mission with the day before i made me feel pretty secure and mean and go back to the idea that they didn't have a lot of safety equipment on the decks and now is my question actually that i have for you today is the thrill of people say that if they did have enough life but they would have been able to save a lot more people from the sinking that hadley in action really yeah at that point that people really are on a taxi that there were not enough lifeboats to save everyone taking i think people really latch on the psychiatric and i think that history could be changed if there were more precautions but the fact matter as there were so many things that went wrong with the kk you affected passengers i think it was damned thing from the start is right even if you look as far back as the construction of any people say they found the constructors used substandard iron even in in the materials to you today to make the ship and the even the on technology the marconi wireless telegraphy it was maybe two cutting-edge because a lot of people out there on the boat they didn't know how to use it necessarily obtained to decipher it right seven attacking was thinking at that distress call eagle can interpret that everything is a totally different language and their some information out there about there not being enough to read it in a separate evidence weren't tightened properly and we know for a fact that it only underwent about six or seven hours for type thing and i think it turned once or twice but was never even sales at its top speed is and what's more outline of the crew didn't get on board until an hours prefer the juries did anyone even told their jobs shipped that how can you be a proper lookout for ship and you haven't trained enough processor does label of time for training and also if you look at the design of the the ship even i read that the writer was actually kind of an old-fashioned design and it was smaller than even the competition 's writers into this new so we didn't then ship itself less maneuverable and i couldn't shift out of an emergency situation assassination he had been a large advisor your driving rv and often your engineering staff nine unique now highest time you need to start break you can't claim a right sixpack to say it's not like you my eighty on that graph the data taking the same way they saw something in the water that they needed to avoid them and i urge you to think about a couple miles had manned the thing goes for turning you still need the outer radii to turn something that large again and my favorite point about how ill-prepared the taking was for this voyage and it's just a matter of conspiracy is that j.p. morgan was a financial backers and there's a reason out and politely that he cut encouraging the shipbuilders to use cheaper and cheaper materials he wanted much bang for his buck naked gas scandalous scandalous that hearsay could even shakier he was supposed to be on the main foyer and in just a couple of hours beforehand business came out and he arrived little suspicious finality i doubt that i died back to the life back in question found any to get the numbers to see how visualize that and i wanted to clarify to their semi- numbers out their incomes as high candidates from conducting inquiries into that sailed from england that the u.s. senate also conducted an inquiry and i am kind of funny and it kind of is one of the senators senator williams met you have to detect and act johnson and a heat skeleton before inviting such account and how could this happen and said that i got involved here again is working sorry also did big dipper investigations come up with injuries that result now just about the same thing but the numbers are up at the front and so we know that there were enough like that so hold one thousand one hundred seventy six passengers and not only if they are celtic passé now on board again numbers and your family two thousand yuan three people and eight hundred ninety and crew members so even if you do not fast enough at not enough you cannabis people and that and the reason why they had as you like that on board sixteen is that the board of trade was the governing body festivals for ocean liners at this time and the number of requisite lifeboats for ships up to ten thousand ton with sixteen other k canada was forty five thousand times but no one had bothered to sit down and you cannot then say we need this anymore life based upon the difference of the trades regulations were to win up to certain old-fashioned maximum they were and sort of expecting something as big of the titanic meeting a regulation exactly and you held the point earlier tenure talking about now clear that i think that taking next builders and designers conveniently misinterpreted the guidelines that could have filled that the number they needed that they didn't get it either their tax signing at claims by casey asking that everyone is instead their life that is another now not really because that's not how inefficient occur when a child they were and how the testing shift undergone anything mainly practice lowering what to do for my video november you study on getting highly accurate time estimates for how long it would take to get that many people in the war suited if you you look at the survivors talk about it that not even all of the lifeboat said they weren't filled to capacity some of them and the three scandalous there is one survivor who wrote it that passenger side is presented take a fifty foot drop and it has scared then they thought while a mistake on unsinkable titanic you to go ahead and this one survivor claims that he asked to be on this this on on the filled lifeboat and they said women and children first see later in the lower the bow and assess it time adjustment do they didn't really know what they were doing when they were lowering the knowing that they were chair activations on either side of the ship and one of the people conducting investigations on one side said when the children first is the time the other side of letting anyone get in data by when we say anyone we mean first-class class classes and even told that the ship into the well after the fact and it was such a quiet disaster when the ship scrape the iceberg it happened so quickly and so quietly that no one really realize any damage and done injures active inside got it certain it and i think answers about the candidate must been seen it done this year ecstatic because even people salt water filling the cabin quickly found they weren't around his free remedies set by the other class passengers were imaginatively lost in the bottom and he had amended the riots and in june fights all over the place is kind of fiasco with any noted essentially the struggle to survive and later line when white star line for now rescue craft to search for the bodies or any survivors they got really confused because they thought semi courses wearing garments of first-class passengers essentially crewing and seriously rated it happened at on whatever they could to stay warm as terrible as that guy went through a lot of havoc in panic as human so yeah i can imagine wife and the recovery efforts for disasters to me when you spread it can confound the world and this is the think and i think it took nearly a week to even compile a list of all survivors and all it is ceased drinking his capture the imagination even today and means people are assessed with knowing what actually happened it out people they have differing historical accounts who is to blame and it's a pretty intense debate the board and people are obsessive the story but the second every new passengers on board and everyone had a different story different eyewitness account are people he said that the shipwreck have to do anything their people he didn't report bad and later on in people called out litigation nightmare because likely site for element and the senate conducted investigation at any lawsuits are brought on the lights or liber brought on by families of the individual passengers other people lives or property loss and how i mean how could you even prove anything without a difference for many x-ray and one of one scandal that people disagree on i is about the chairman and managing director of the be the start of the white star that it is very saline using the present days as he said and he actually jumped on one of these not quite filled lifeboats and people sale what a coward like he took someone else's space we really like it would not have been taken by by another person at least some organizations like the sacred circle society trying to defend him and say what he had awakened to and no one else was around and he just took his opportunity another was he just would've been now signed with the ship and it was sad because after he he survived and after you got to america he was sort of ridiculed by lake william randolph hearst and his newspapers and in england through i bake set him but america yet maligned and sheri tag the other two arguably other important figures on board the mike thomas anders the ship designer and the captain of the schaap captain that they both sat quietly waiting on board and went down with the ship and thomas anders in particular and even inviting cameras taking a casually poignant interview that i wish i could affiliate better shipments rose that leave that out happen out of madison he didn't analyze vast diamond to first class lounges and is quietly that answers know you're the even today you go and you look at pictures of artifacts that have been photographed underneath the surface of the water after the artifacts [ not likely that haunting thing i think there's a traveling taking exhibit called titanic aquatic and you can see all the things that are not taking it has recovered and is your society and they have sole ownership over the ship rack and one of them insist on i ask that went down as me of what he had these resplendent gratin dishes and at and over time the wife from that uninhabited it disintegrated that the au gratin dishes were left perfectly stacked in neat little rows and that's how they are right now in the display are stacked in neat little rows so creepy that assessing is like the rest of the of the titanic you see like even the exterior of the ship underwater it's it's really creepy to see because of what what the pressure and the water is done to it but to see something that is survived that it is that's really weird and downs he managed the picture seventies you like weird seeing the things are waiting the water off the ships round yet i'm jealous coworker under called rustic old because essentially all the upcoming microphone waters feasting on the schaap and basis back that and another i think fifty nine years time shifts is going to collapse and played and i thought that it can be over so there's a lot of argument right now about whether or not i wish actually raise what last of the hall texas rangers and because i mean as someone who's fascinated with the story i was like i wanted to be in support of like bringing up analyses such an interesting artifact of history destroyed just by new nature and limited edition be on the underside is not even displayed outside cabinet really felt that after the line because even in the recovery efforts have this body not all of them are brought out and a lot of fifty rates and crew members ever covered their bodies actually i arrive and friend anita waters they were enacted he and i think that he is sent on to that argument is the strength is always interesting to revisit the topic especially when it's one that we will get requests for all you have anything since the beginning of this year we've been hearing what he can do for the hundredth anniversary investigated any episode of brutally subtly scotland in our archives but there is some new information to the story for an update and it is some recent news to the i feel like were always bringing that up when we do these update podcasts that we did mention the news in the intro to this podcast and so we should deliver on now very conveniently timed the anniversary and it involves newly released photos that were taken in two thousand four during the next addition by titanic wreck discoverer robert ballard they were originally featured in ballard 's book about the expedition that they were cropped at the time when they were shown there so this is the first time the uncropped versions of the photos were released and they show the coat and boots lying next to each other on the ocean floor at the shipwreck site actually kind of poignant and james called out who is the director of maritime heritage at the national oceanic and atmospheric administration not told the daily mail quoted these are not shoes that fell out neatly from somebody's back right next to each other and he went on to say that the ladies items are laid out in a cogent shoes right next to each other make the quote compelling case that is where quote someone has come to rest of who you probably saw a lot of headlines about that recently and took him to list the chief scientist on a twenty ten expedition that mapped the entire wreck by inch people use of these items do point to the probable presence of human remains buried under the seventy five inch out so there could continue to be new research and this could continue to add insight to the stories of the people who were lost aboard the rack he also said that this finds heard this and is photo they were it really points to the need to preserve the wreck site which has been hard to do since it's in international waters although the site did come under unesco protection this year so that's good news with some other random titanic and use of the more a romantic nature than human remains this if that strikes your fancy little better it's also interesting especially for those who are fans of james cameron 's take panic movie in april discovery news publishing article about the real titanic love story which discusses the life of an italian immigrant named new leo put a loopy who might provide a part of the inspiration for the character of jack thompson and cameron 's movie and incidentally there is a grave for an actual trade-off in which people have speculated about who you can imagine but put a loopy story is apparently quite similar to the story of dawson 's character in the movie inch particularly in the love department itself put a looby who is said to be a well-respected stonemason who had immigrated to america in nineteen oh three was on his way back from a visit back home to la when he ended up totally by chance on the titanic he was originally poster ban on another ship the oceanic to joke how he got on the titanic inserted the crux of the matter he was invited aboard his ship but * a famous wealthy american couple am john astor the fourth was a millionaire from one of america's wealthiest families and the couple apparently wanted wanted for live you work for and i wanted him to use his stone masonry skills at their villa in newport rhode island yeah they were on their way back from vacation in egypt i guess and they were like a hotline to their honeymoon and he traveled first class at the couple 's gaston was invited to dinner with other first-class sutras the night icebreaking ship went to bed that night and woke up when the ship hit the iceberg thinking that they'd reach new york so some other details like to follow line with what you know from the movie but clearly be had or developed a crush on masters young beautiful wife madeleine talmage * but no one really knows the full extent of their relationship we know about the crash though because unlike the movie character he said to the inspired point would be survived the titanic sinking and lived to the ripe old age of seventy three he died in nineteen seventy four and no one really knows for sure how he survived so because he gave different versions of the story he shared getting in one he put on a life belt and jumped fifty feet into the water where he swam to a cake of ice and managed to stay afloat there until he was eventually rescued by life and another he fell in the water trying to board a life of its lamb for two hours before he was rescued by lifeboat fourteen which was the boat that lady astor was on and i think one of the last lifeboats to get away this is probably unlikely that a lot of people think it's unlikely just because it is it seems impossible even to survive you no longer future icy icy cold water so i'll leave however that he may have escaped by disguising itself as a woman because of the women and children eating the women and children first edict that i can't change discuss a little that he was first listed as mrs. porta luby when the names of the rescued were transmitted initially sewed the society may be made to the way people think that's pretty loopy now lady * husband did not survive that she will be never got together after their reckoning that understand i think a pretty true maverick larry and she did remarried and he may have varied as well even though he was artie married at the time that he is are you married before the titanic lots of stories like the sun fades of survivors include the iceberg some uninteresting you store this or also about what people thought happened to the iceberg and kind of the background kind and whether there are little of it left and right that it probably can survive past nineteen team is the waters around that in the atlantic which you have for himself always plenty of things to investigate here about that he can ask thinking and always and new things that are coming out about it as we said i think there's even an object containing to you and you take any action that being elder earthly project and can do everything yesterday might be a very newer or safer version and i think tenet that comes out by the way the market for cruising and i think it is to be a passenger ship now you don't call me i will certainly am looking for more.

If you have any favorite titanic developments or discoveries that were discussed in the class i can and when discussed today every right to swing my catholic discovery in you as i faced the camera and putting industry and we also take category when we give written by tina herself and you can find out by visiting our home page at debbie debbie debbie how stuff works.

Movie club is back yet again and today we are recommending that out national geographic film called search for the battleship bismarck and we talked about the shooting we narrated it was one of our shipwreck the nemesis of robert ballard who is the titanic wreck discovered as needed with this film valley hs and asked for is the underwater journey of discovery here that i can so we just checked out needy compared to our podcasts and made we can talk about memories we delight especially for some of these really popular at the plate and acorn millionaire heart discussing some of the less famous but similar topic and is pretty famous england is famous than him you would definitely be a good place for all of us detailing check out the process every little so we can talk about into other shipwrecked all our facebook page when the and also remember that for podcast is very a free limited time offer a free thirty day trial membership and you just have to sign up at www..

Flush history and remember that this search for the battleship is subject to availability so if you love talking about anthrax and the emory can out of them which is immediately check that one out and we will motivate me for more on this and thousands of other topics at the house of work satcom as is is is is is is is he will
