no one knows how the real captain died either
some people said they saw him go to the wheel room when it went down
some said he jumped off right before it went down
some said they saw him swim up to a lifeboat with a baby and then swam away
Some say he's still out there to this day, swimming and waiting for rescue. If you listen closely on a calm Atlantic night you can still hear him, cursing the israelites and Irish.
*aboard the Californian* >captain there’s a huge ship nearby throwing up rockets, should I turn on the wireless? >tell me. why would we come to the aid of those who did not heed our ice warnings?
1. They only had one radio operator and he went to bed.
2. They tried to use lights to communicate and titanic didn’t respond
3. They saw the ship looking OK and some fireworks, but didn’t know what was happening

Yes they got tilted at him for depicting what eyewitness accounts said happened. Some other dude said he was "swept out to sea while helping people" but there were no waves so that was clearly just a lie to cover up the suicide.
Wasn't there a group of people trying to say the captain saw the iceberg and just made a dumb mistake or didn't make the proper orders or something, and that it could have easily been avoided?

well what's the point of deporting him then? he'd already been through enough at that point, just put him on a boat headed to where he was actually going
Use the lifeboats (which could hold ~half the passengers in one trip) to ferry everyone over to the iceberg (which was still right next to Titanic, just a couple minutes of rowing away). Have them wait there instead of in the freezing water for Carpathia to arrive
Sneak into some proper dame’s cabin, give myself a shave and treat myself to one of her dresses and some makeup and a yuge hat.
Then go up and hop on a ship without sword and let them think I’m some ungainly icy broad (back then they were all pretty rough to look at) and chill in a life boat with 2 other people until the rescue ship shows up, where I’d simply demand immediate use of a bathroom due to my lady problems and change into my naked self.
Then I’d hop the railing back overboard and swim up buck naked next to a lifeboat and act as though I’d been swimming vigorously for hours in the nude.

They have passed like rain on the top deck, like a waves on the beach;
The days have gone down in the West behind the horizon into shadow.
Who shall gather the flare of the downed ship burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
the Titanic is proof that the middle class is the best people
if you see the dead chart by class it's actually middle-class men that had the most deaths and they mostly volunteered to give their seats
poor people are rats, they only care for the next scrap, they don't care who gives it or who they have to tear apart
the rich don't care, they can be rich somewhere else
it's the middle class that actually has a vested interest in the good of society
>"Send word for the women and children to make for the life boats, and barricade the irish below!" >"So much death. What can men do against such reckless ice?" >"swim out with me." >"swim out and meet it?" >"For death and glory?" >"For White Star. For your people." >(voiceover by Sir Ian Mckellen) Captain of Carpathia : "Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East."
The unsinkable ship is suddenly sinking and at least half the passengers are guaranteed to die because there aren't enough lifeboats. What would you do?
>They thought they were south of the ice field
The frick? The moron Smith repeatedly ignored warnings that he was in an ice field and icebergs are ahead.
Nobody thought anything, they just thought they'd dodge them. The Californian captain was also a moron, but at least he did right by his ship - he heard of ice, lowered speed and eventually stopped. Titanic was almost going close to full speed at the time it hit the iceberg.
put yourself in his shoes >Start career in wooden ships >now you are in a giant steel beast >everyone says it's completely unsinkable >"we are south of the icebergs sir" >"go fast, it's good for the company"
sure it seems naive now with the benefit of hindsight, but I can totally see how he bought into the BS everyone was telling him about what the ship was capable of.
>Do you know how the icebergs first came into being? They were ice sheet once, taken by the dark oceans, broken and twisted. A deadly and terrible form of ice. Now... perfected. My ship wrecking glazier. Whom do you serve? >FEDERAL RESERVE
Because there’s usually nothing in the ocean that doesn’t have lights on and you lose valuable travel time. Also they had lookouts. And they didn’t think they were near the ice field (positional error)
They would have stopped if they thought they were in the ice field
There's waves in the middle of the ocean. If the boat is just sitting there it's gonna be constantly rocked by the waves hitting it, not as big an issue when you are underway and cutting through the waves.
Also the whole sales gimmick of the Titanic was travelling in luxery and speed, if your just sitting around at night with your thumbs up your ass (still burning coal regardless too) then the customers are paying for nothing.
>If the hull is breached, the Titanic will fall. >Even if it is breached it would take water beyond reckoning, thousands of gallons to sink the ship. >TENS OF THOUSANDS.
>only fills lifeboats to 1/3 capacity even knowing that there weren't enough lifeboats even IF filled to capacity >fails to give proper orders to crew >fails to even inform a good portion of the crew until an hour after hitting the berg >just stands around looking stoic and saying "stiff upper lip, chaps"
Most useless Captain in history?
I wouldn't give him shit for the no boats, that was mostly company policy.
But it's' quite clear he was vastly inexperienced in handling problems and unexpected occurrences. His career, albeit long, was mostly safe and uneventful. So when shit happened he was like a deer stuck in headlights.
They weren't even able to get all the boats out so more wouldn't have really helped much. Also they didn't fill the boats to capacity because they weren't sure if they could properly lower the boats under full weight, think they were supposed to come back to the ship to pick up survivors but only one did
>They weren't even able to get all the boats out so more wouldn't have really helped much
Yeah because they were taking their sweat ass time because the Captain was either inactive or not giving clear enough orders. Hell, they didn't even start readying boats until a half hour after impact.
it did not even become clear to people that the ship was going down for an hour after they hit the iceberg. once word spread it was a shitfest some early life boats left with as low as 12 onboard.
Why didn't they try to block up the hole? Surely they could've found some rope and steel sheets to drape over the side of the ship. Wouldn't be waterproof but could've bought them another hour or two
NO, MY CAPTAIN! You mustn't drown the iceberg! Enough drownings have been done on its behalf! You must allow it to drift to Bosnia-Herzegovina, where it will drown Franz Ferdinand.
yeah if they did not do the engine restart thing the ship would of been ripped apart all along the side that hit the iceberg. instead of the 2 hours they got to escape they would of had 20 minutes tops
the real life version of this guy went against that order and was letting on lots of men in the early stages of the sinking. on the other side of the ship that homosexual Lightoller was only letting on woman and children through the entire sinking.
I'm sorry anon and I know women are trash but I'm not letting this trope go.
If I'm ever on a sinking ship by God as my witness I will kill every man and Black person I have to to: A. Ensure women and children first and B. Ensure the captain goes down with that motherfricker.

youre a moronic Black person
it should literally only be "women AND children". as in mothers with their children or children if they cant find or dont have parents with them. letting on random women is moronic
there is no such thing as a special accommodation for women just because. its age, or injury, or condition like being pregnant

> Suppose also that while the vessel was still under construction, 100,000 men in Bowler Hats had assembled in Belfast, and there, with the blessing of the Church and the approval of the Conservative leaders, had sworn a Solemn Oath and Covenant that if the Titanic were ever launched they would die in the last ditch sooner than allow her to complete a single voyage;
Suppose that these resolute men, through the mouth of their resolute leader, a Privy Councillor, and an ex-Law Officer of the Crown, had announced precisely how they intended to make good their oath, videlicet [namely] by causing an exceptionally large iceberg to be placed across the bows of the ship on an exceptionally dark night, and in order to guarantee the result had for many months practised every detail of the contemplated manoeuvre by manipulating dummy icebergs on the waters of Lough Neagh with the assistance of Mr F. E. Smith, K.C., M.P.;
> Suppose that the democracy of Ireland had subscribed a million pounds or so to finance this project, that the project itself was warmly applauded by the greater part of the British press, and that such sober and respected organs of opinion as The Spectator and The Times itself had repeatedly insisted that if the ship should ever be launched colossal bergs might be expected automatically to detach themselves from the surrounding mass and instinctively to block her way, and that, but for the restraining influence of Sir Edward Carson, the premature and spontaneous disruption of the Polar ice would already have filled the harbour of Belfast with invading fragments from the Loyal North;

For those who want to be part of this epic Cinemaphile forced meme there are three easy steps.
Step 1: This is considered the most important step. See what movie this epic Cinemaphile meme is being applied to today. Most of the time it's the older Sam Raimi Spiderman movies but since these threads die very fast the guys that force this apply it to other movies now. This thread however uses the Titanic meme. Please pay attention.
Step 2: Take an iconic scene in the movie, any will do as long as people remember the scene. Greentext a quote from the scene and twist the words to use anti semitisim, racism, homophobia or any other edgy as frick topic. Go nuts, the sky is the limit! The more vulgar it is the more epic the meme is. This takes us to the final step.....
Step 3: Make a regular post, taking the position of a normal person and pretend to be disgusted by that scene. I know, I know, this is Cinemaphile, a site where gore flows like fine wine but that's what makes this meme edgy, wacky and zany. We pretend to be offended by that fake scene. Funny huh?
Now that you understand how to do this, have fun kids. Happy memeing!
>listening to Titanic survivor stories >one guy says he could never go to sporting events for the rest of his life >said that the screams remind him of what he heard after the ship went down.
>said that the screams remind him of what he heard after the ship went down.
>the accounts from people on lifeboats of all the screaming once the ship went completely under >some of them thought everyone got off the boat in time
i dont understand what youre referring to. people screamed after the ship went under? talking about the screaming that people did for the entire time of the sinking? what? the screaming the raft people did after the ship went under (why?)?
>listening to Titanic survivor stories >one guy says he could never go to sporting events for the rest of his life >said that the screams remind him of what he heard after the ship went down.
ive never went down with the titanic and i think sporting events like that are dangerous and uncomfortable to be in. very annoying getting in and out with a mass of people . and then traffic...just a bad experience overall and people pay for that shit
her story about how her mother knew that disaster was coming and stayed up every night gives me chills. frick that other b***h and her toy pig this ladies story fricked with my head
Ramming speed, Ramming speed! Midshipman!

SAIL TO RUIN AND THE WORLD'S ENDING
Took me 10 years to realise he was in a state of total shock during the second half of the movie
I thought he had just dementia when I was younger
no one knows how the real captain died either
some people said they saw him go to the wheel room when it went down
some said he jumped off right before it went down
some said they saw him swim up to a lifeboat with a baby and then swam away
Some say he was last seen on the lower decks, executing the Irish with his service revolver lest they find their way to the lifeboats
Died a hero
Some say he's still out there to this day, swimming and waiting for rescue. If you listen closely on a calm Atlantic night you can still hear him, cursing the israelites and Irish.

is it true that murdoch’s relatives were pissed at Cameron for depicting him as committing suicide? is that a real historical fact?
Yes they got tilted at him for depicting what eyewitness accounts said happened. Some other dude said he was "swept out to sea while helping people" but there were no waves so that was clearly just a lie to cover up the suicide.
The "wave" was caused by the ship taking a sudden dive, causing water to quickly wash over that part of the ship.

Holy shit.
What can men do against such reckless weight.
Accept their fate
If only they had access to a submersible.
Or just one Logitech controller.

Actually a really underrated and high effort post. I heard it in my head to the tune Colin J Rudd put the original poem to.
good post
the Titanic is proof that the middle class is the best people
if you see the dead chart by class it's actually middle-class men that had the most deaths and they mostly volunteered to give their seats
poor people are rats, they only care for the next scrap, they don't care who gives it or who they have to tear apart
the rich don't care, they can be rich somewhere else
it's the middle class that actually has a vested interest in the good of society
this is why the NSDAP made a titanic movie as ww2 propaganda thoughever

No.
Why the frick was the Captain so moronic irl? Wtf was his problem?
The unsinkable ship is suddenly sinking and at least half the passengers are guaranteed to die because there aren't enough lifeboats. What would you do?
I mean about the fact that he ignored warnings and did not lover the fricking speed. What amount of a moron so you have to be to risk that much?
>shall we give the lookouts binoculars?
>no...that's just what they'll be expecting us to do
They thought they were south of the ice field
If they’d had accurate positioning information they would have stopped like the California and the Carpathia would have gotten there sooner
>They thought they were south of the ice field
The frick? The moron Smith repeatedly ignored warnings that he was in an ice field and icebergs are ahead.
Nobody thought anything, they just thought they'd dodge them. The Californian captain was also a moron, but at least he did right by his ship - he heard of ice, lowered speed and eventually stopped. Titanic was almost going close to full speed at the time it hit the iceberg.
The CQD coordinates he gave were off by like 15 miles too
put yourself in his shoes

sure it seems naive now with the benefit of hindsight, but I can totally see how he bought into the BS everyone was telling him about what the ship was capable of.
They were under pressure to get to NYC in a certain time

ok I have to ask, did someone shop a merchant there in the middle of this thing or am I just seeing things.
hot mama, now that's a post
why didn't he just park the boat at night?
Because there’s usually nothing in the ocean that doesn’t have lights on and you lose valuable travel time. Also they had lookouts. And they didn’t think they were near the ice field (positional error)
They would have stopped if they thought they were in the ice field
There's waves in the middle of the ocean. If the boat is just sitting there it's gonna be constantly rocked by the waves hitting it, not as big an issue when you are underway and cutting through the waves.
Also the whole sales gimmick of the Titanic was travelling in luxery and speed, if your just sitting around at night with your thumbs up your ass (still burning coal regardless too) then the customers are paying for nothing.
>DEPTH! DEPTH!
Why didn't they build this ship out of ice?
They'd run it into an ironberg

Most useless Captain in history?
I wouldn't give him shit for the no boats, that was mostly company policy.
But it's' quite clear he was vastly inexperienced in handling problems and unexpected occurrences. His career, albeit long, was mostly safe and uneventful. So when shit happened he was like a deer stuck in headlights.
They weren't even able to get all the boats out so more wouldn't have really helped much. Also they didn't fill the boats to capacity because they weren't sure if they could properly lower the boats under full weight, think they were supposed to come back to the ship to pick up survivors but only one did
>They expect 1,517 of us in the wreckage, brother.
there was a scene of a boat ignoring the Captain's orders but it was cut for whatever reason
Man. I forgot how good James Cameron was at making films in the 80s and 90s. I need to go watch thos again? Who is streaming it?
Holy shit I forgot Victor Newman was in this movie. I haven't seen it in so fricking long. Based
He's really only in the first class dinner part without the deleted scenes
>They weren't even able to get all the boats out so more wouldn't have really helped much
Yeah because they were taking their sweat ass time because the Captain was either inactive or not giving clear enough orders. Hell, they didn't even start readying boats until a half hour after impact.
it did not even become clear to people that the ship was going down for an hour after they hit the iceberg. once word spread it was a shitfest some early life boats left with as low as 12 onboard.
>come back to the ship to pick up survivors but only one did
And leave the people where?
Damn, he was just two days away from retirement!
Beautiful.
Ahh yes, my trusted watchman, Lazy Shipsink.
Oh holy hell.
>They will have women....and children on board..
>This ship cannot sink!
>SHE'S BUILT BY IRISHMEN SIR! I assure you she can!
damn what a scathing criticism
well then why did they let them build it
cheap plus some of them might die from making it
It was built by the Belfast Billy's who spent the world war hiding in the dockyards
It was built by Ulstermen
Edward Carson was trying to stop the bergs from attacking the Titanic.
Northcliffe thought that RB Haldane was piloting the icebergs.

Why didn't they try to block up the hole? Surely they could've found some rope and steel sheets to drape over the side of the ship. Wouldn't be waterproof but could've bought them another hour or two
NO, MY CAPTAIN! You mustn't drown the iceberg! Enough drownings have been done on its behalf! You must allow it to drift to Bosnia-Herzegovina, where it will drown Franz Ferdinand.
one does not simply sail into Iceberg Alley
why didn't Elrond Hubbard just shove Isildur into the volcano?
Just another Kinslaying by Noldor blood
DEPTH!
Man Titanic is such a good film
I can watch the scene of trying to avoid the iceberg a million times and still be at the edge of my seat
With AI, one day the results will differ.
yeah if they did not do the engine restart thing the ship would of been ripped apart all along the side that hit the iceberg. instead of the 2 hours they got to escape they would of had 20 minutes tops
>Women and children only
the real life version of this guy went against that order and was letting on lots of men in the early stages of the sinking. on the other side of the ship that homosexual Lightoller was only letting on woman and children through the entire sinking.
One of them took the order as "women and children first" and the other "women and children only"
I'm sorry anon and I know women are trash but I'm not letting this trope go.
If I'm ever on a sinking ship by God as my witness I will kill every man and Black person I have to to: A. Ensure women and children first and B. Ensure the captain goes down with that motherfricker.
its not the 1910s anymore we will be throwing simps and trannies like you overboard along with any crew member that does not join out mutiny
It should only be those without children
youre a moronic Black person
it should literally only be "women AND children". as in mothers with their children or children if they cant find or dont have parents with them. letting on random women is moronic
there is no such thing as a special accommodation for women just because. its age, or injury, or condition like being pregnant
Both simps of the highest order. Sailing to a country rife with fresh, clean shaven American pussy and they SAVE these crusty old b***hes so they can put into port and frick the first pencil-mustached prick they bump into

Suppose that these resolute men, through the mouth of their resolute leader, a Privy Councillor, and an ex-Law Officer of the Crown, had announced precisely how they intended to make good their oath, videlicet [namely] by causing an exceptionally large iceberg to be placed across the bows of the ship on an exceptionally dark night, and in order to guarantee the result had for many months practised every detail of the contemplated manoeuvre by manipulating dummy icebergs on the waters of Lough Neagh with the assistance of Mr F. E. Smith, K.C., M.P.;
> Suppose that the democracy of Ireland had subscribed a million pounds or so to finance this project, that the project itself was warmly applauded by the greater part of the British press, and that such sober and respected organs of opinion as The Spectator and The Times itself had repeatedly insisted that if the ship should ever be launched colossal bergs might be expected automatically to detach themselves from the surrounding mass and instinctively to block her way, and that, but for the restraining influence of Sir Edward Carson, the premature and spontaneous disruption of the Polar ice would already have filled the harbour of Belfast with invading fragments from the Loyal North;

for me it's the people in the rooms like that old couple who might've survived in an air pocket or maybe just hadn't drowned yet who certainly imploded when the bow was shooting towards the bottom
what about Bugenhagen just staring at the water like he's surprised the ship's actually going down
For those who want to be part of this epic Cinemaphile forced meme there are three easy steps.
Step 1: This is considered the most important step. See what movie this epic Cinemaphile meme is being applied to today. Most of the time it's the older Sam Raimi Spiderman movies but since these threads die very fast the guys that force this apply it to other movies now. This thread however uses the Titanic meme. Please pay attention.
Step 2: Take an iconic scene in the movie, any will do as long as people remember the scene. Greentext a quote from the scene and twist the words to use anti semitisim, racism, homophobia or any other edgy as frick topic. Go nuts, the sky is the limit! The more vulgar it is the more epic the meme is. This takes us to the final step.....
Step 3: Make a regular post, taking the position of a normal person and pretend to be disgusted by that scene. I know, I know, this is Cinemaphile, a site where gore flows like fine wine but that's what makes this meme edgy, wacky and zany. We pretend to be offended by that fake scene. Funny huh?
Now that you understand how to do this, have fun kids. Happy memeing!
>listening to Titanic survivor stories
>one guy says he could never go to sporting events for the rest of his life
>said that the screams remind him of what he heard after the ship went down.
>said that the screams remind him of what he heard after the ship went down.
i dont understand what youre referring to. people screamed after the ship went under? talking about the screaming that people did for the entire time of the sinking? what? the screaming the raft people did after the ship went under (why?)?
>go to sporting event
>crowd is yelling "WHY GOD WHY AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"
ive never went down with the titanic and i think sporting events like that are dangerous and uncomfortable to be in. very annoying getting in and out with a mass of people . and then traffic...just a bad experience overall and people pay for that shit
