Overall Meaning

The lost crew’s song “Make it” is a beautiful love song that describes the strong desire to make a relationship work. The song’s main theme is about wanting to be with someone you love so much and wanting to make the relationship work even if it means leaving a place with them. The chorus “I wanna make it with you, I wanna scream that I do, I wanna leave this place, leave it with you” embodies this feeling of wanting to be with someone so much that the person would just pick up and leave everything behind just to be with them.

The lyrics of the song also touch on the fear of losing that special someone. The lines “don’t rearrange my face, cause underneath those eyes so green, you know I'm out of control” reveal the fear of losing control and wanting to hold onto that person so tight that no one can replace them. In the next line, “don’t disappear from me, cause just behind those lies you tell I know you’re out of control,” the fear of heartbreak and rejection is present. The singer is aware that the love they share might not always be smooth sailing, but they are aware of their strong connection and are willing to fight through any obstacle.

Overall, The Lost Crew’s “Make it” is a beautiful love song that not only celebrates the joy of being in love but also the fear of losing that love. The lyrics are heartfelt and truly show the musicians’ passion for love and their willingness to make it last.

Remember, it was a moonless night, they were in the middle of the Atlantic and Titanic herself was the only source of light. If her power went out, so would every bit of light and her radio. People in the water could barely tell if she broke apart or not because they literally couldn't see a thing in the pitch black. Imagine trying to fill lifeboats on a pitch black ship with thousands of screaming, terrified, panicking peope running around. These men fought until the end to give everyone else a chance of surviving and they deserve to be remembered as heroes.

Those men died as heroes. They kept the lights on so long for the crew to get enough people off the boat until the last minute. Even though they knew that they were going to die in the end. Those brave souls deserve more recognition.

Andrei Popescu

1y↑29

I'm not sure they knew they were going to die. Apart from the wireless operators, the captain and a few other people I don't think the message that the nearest ship would get there in 4 hours reached everyone else. In this case the engineers kept working thinking that the rescue ship could come at any moment.

@Andrei Popescu do you think they seen the water rushing in?? I believe wholeheartedness that they knew it was going down..

Andrei Popescu

52w↑12

@D. T. A Yes they knew the ship was going down, what I said was that it was possible they did not know that the rescue ships would get there so late. This make a big difference since it's one thing to believe that the rescue is in progres and that they could be ordered at any moment to get to the lifeboats in order to be taken to one of the rescue ships and another to know that only the ones in the lifeboats would survive.

I never knew about this video before stumbling upon it today. This video put a very human touch on 'the men below.' It actually made me cry. There were many unsung heroes in the disaster of the Titanic. They deserve to be known, honored and respected. These men gave it their all and then some. My respects to the 'men below' who knowingly sacrificed their lives so more people could live.

Unsung heroes. I can't imagine the fear they must have felt, and the courage and willpower it must have taken to overcome it. To willingly confine yourself to remain down in the labyrinthine bowels of a sinking ship so that the lights can stay on and other souls on board would have a better chance of escaping the fate which you will surely face is true heroism. It's one thing to throw yourself into harms way in a moment of passion, to dive in front of a train or a bullet to push someone else out of the way. But these men would have had almost 2 hours to contemplate the agony of the death, of drowning in freezing waters inside a pitch black iron tomb sinking to the bottom of the ocean, that surely awaited them.

Yes. What love for others. What a great and memorable story of personal sacrifice. Because the cr
ew in the boiler room were quickly shoveling coal ; they were working on accepting their own passing. All Mariners who died like this are heros. i would hope that the extremely cold water hitting the boilers would have given those boys a quick and painless passing.
For people jumping into the nearly freezing cold water, it would have caused paralysis and for many people rather instant death. It's been found that ice cold water hitting the brain stem causes instant death in many incidents....think, Wet Suit. That seawater would have been below 40° f.

I’ve read a lot about the titanic, it’s building, voyage, sinking and the people on board. The men in the engine rooms were true heroes. They not only kept the lights on until the last minutes, they kept the ship on even keel from rolling over and sinking over an hour longer than engineers thought possible. They saved many more than would’ve survived, and knew most of them would never survive.

Mickey Shooter

1y↑147

As an electrician, this is fascinating to me. Those guys were unsung heroes. I like to think I’d man my post till the end as well, to keep the lights on and save lives.
Fun fact: the ships electricians were among the highest paid crew members, behind only the senior engineers.

Those first couple generations of Sparkies were some damn brave men, I’ll tell you what. Back when the industry was still brand new and everyone was basically learning from their mistakes as they went along. Crazy to think about, as someone who has had electricity around me my entire life.
Like, those first boys had to start from SCRATCH … damn

Taras

When the keel and double bottom failed and bent upwards, that set in motion a cascade of structural failures that split Titanic into four main pieces. The electricians were all killed when the forward cylinders, boilers in boiler room one, water tight bulkhead K and the coal bunkers were all shoved into G-deck, or when the shell playing ripped away from the inner structure for 160 feet aft of the forward end of the stern section because of the breakup. The generator room was probably opened to the sea during the break up, and if it wasn't sea water burst through the bulkhead or came over the top of it from the turbine engine room which was flooded during the breakup. This was also the reason why the stern section rapidly sank, the bulkheads and water right doors were rendered useless.

The fourth funnel wasn't just for tricking the public into thinking it was fast, it did aesthetically balance the look to have a forth funnel further back, and the funnel actually held quite a lot of the ventilation ducting for many lower decks, as well as storage for deckchairs.

On 9 October 1912 White Star withdrew Olympic from service and returned her to her builders at Belfast to be refitted to incorporate lessons learned from the Titanic disaster 6 months prior, and improve safety. The number of lifeboats carried by Olympic was increased from twenty to sixty four (per Carlisle's original number), and extra davits were installed along the boat deck to accommodate them. Also, an inner watertight skin was constructed in the boiler and engine rooms, to create a double hull. Five of the watertight bulkheads were extended up to B-Deck, extending to the entire height of the hull. This corrected a flaw in the original design, in which the bulkheads only rose up as far as E or D-Deck, a short distance above the waterline. This flaw had been exposed during Titanic's sinking, where water spilled over the top of the bulkheads as the ship sank and flooded subsequent compartments. In addition, an extra bulkhead was added to subdivide the electrical dynamo room, bringing the total number of watertight compartments to seventeen. Improvements were also made to the ship's pumping apparatus. These modifications meant that Olympic could survive a collision similar to that of Titanic, in that her first six compartments could be breached and the ship could remain afloat.
At the same time, Olympic's B-Deck underwent a refit, which necessitated eliminating her B-Deck promenades – one of the few features that separated her from her sister ship. The refit included extra cabins (the parlour suites which proved popular on the Titanic were added to the Olympic), more cabins were fitted with private bathing facilities, and a Cafe Parisian (another addition that had proved popular on the Titanic) was added, offering another dining option to first class passengers. With these changes, "Olympic's" gross tonnage rose to 46,359 tons, 31 tons more than Titanic's.
In March 1913, "Olympic" returned to service and briefly regained the title of largest ocean liner in the world, until the German liner SS Imperator entered passenger service in June 1913. Following her refit, Olympic was marketed as the "new" Olympic and her improved safety features were featured prominently in advertisements. !!!

I’ve recently become fascinated with early 20th century Naval architecture and engineering. These ships were the most complicated pieces of machinery on the planet back then. It still blows my mind we could engineer and build these things back then. Funnily enough, steam power is really still one of the best ways to drive a ship, granted now we use a nuclear reactor to boil the water into steam instead of massive boilers burning coal or fuel oil.

This was a very interesting watch. Very insightful backstory. Shout out to those who stayed to keep the lights on. Can you imagine being in that moment? I recall the words of the chief engineer who said, “I have the strength to do what I need to do.” Hero mentality. The moment you realize your existence isn’t worth more than the existence of the greater good. What a striking portrayal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏽

It angers me that the Californian was not far away and they just sat there and watched Titanic go down and refused to go to their aid!

Most of those people would have survived if the Californian had responded to the sos calls!

The engineers were truly the unsung heroes of that terrible night. Had they not sacrificed their lives in the bowels of the ship to keep the lights going as long as possible, it would have been complete chaos in absolute darkness and its quite possible that only a handful of people would survived the sinking.

And don't forget Jack Phillips, the Titanic morse code operator who sent messages of help and location to nearby vessels and ships till the very minute the Titanic broke in half. He knew he was going to die and never stopped typing the telegraph till the very end. You can find the timeline of his messages and he even sent codes while the communication room was totally flooded.

My first time seeing a video about some of the most unsung heroes in this tragic event. Great job on this drama. Its about time the story was told about those low down in the ship and behind the scenes who did much more than their duty to keep the ship afloat as long as possible in hopes of increasing the chance for survival of others. Also really liked the shots of the engines, boilers etc some very good work on that. RIP to all who didnt make it that fateful night.

This should be an act of human character that everyone should aspire to. These men are the role models missing in all young people's lives right now. They should be the ruler we all measure our lives by, the gauge we use to determine where on the scale we are, in the grand scheme of things.
You do your duty, to the best of your ability, no matter the situation or circumstances. You, we are all dependent upon each other in this life. I feel that's what makes life so hard and difficult. We can't, don't or won't depend on others. And for good reason. You can't and that's the rub. That's the problem right there. We stopped depending on others because they stopped worrying about others and concentrated on ourselves instead. If it takes a village to raise a child than, in theory, it should take even more to raise an adult. ( Before I get bombarded with responses about how ridiculous that is just look back at what I just said and read on)
There was a time before innovation and technology when we all had to depend on our neighbors when we couldn't do 100% for ourselves. Now, with innovation and technology doing a lot of things for us, we've learned that we no longer need the help that we all used to need. That's not a true statement and, if you see the connection in what I'm talking about, you will understand that we do need each other.
We pick a life partner, hopefully, to help make both your lives better, yes? Why? If your of the idea that your independent and don't need any help, ever, from anyone then why get married or have a life partner? There was a time when you had a whole world of people that, out of necessity, could and would come to depend on others to help them when they were unable to help themselves. We all should really take a good long look at our own honor, our character and our convictions. Somehow, somewhere something went horribly wrong in our society that made us all comfortable going it alone instead of being a global community of friends that we could count on. We f'ed up folks. Talk to your children and simply ask them what they think honor or character is. Ask them what morals are and if they can even give you an answer I would be shocked. We stopped teaching them this.
Whoever reads this comment and has children of their own please ask your kids these questions and tell me what they answer. It would be a tremendous help to not only me and my curiosity but it may just open the eyes of a few of the people reading this. I would really love to know if our children are learning these concepts or not. I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world.
Be the change people.
Be Eazy.

It's heartbreaking how many gave their lifes. It is good that you mentioned the coal problem and fire in the bunkers. That's also why the Titanic made speed. They only had enough to reach New York. So they needed to put the burning coal in the ovens to have at least some use of it. The Titanic was never able to get the Blue Band as always mentioned. It was simply never fast enough!

When news of the sinking of Titanic reached the shipyards in Belfast 60,000 workers just lay down their tools and walked off the job, never to return again. It just took too much out of them, a couple of great uncles of mine among them. To her dying day Titanic was a taboo subject around my grandmother.

David Stone

2y↑8

The Titanic never attempted to break any speed records, they knew it was impossible. At the time of the construction of the three Olympic class ships. White Star Line decided to build for luxury and size, not speed. It was Cunard's line of ships that were build for speed.

Moreover, this documentary does a great job in many aspects showing the perspective of those below decks. But it isn't completely accurate when talking about the coal fire. There was a coal fire before the ship left Belfast, and was put out the day after the ship left Southampton. However there is no real supporting evidence that this fire affected the the sinking at all. The damage done to the ship by the iceberg was collosal. Small holes were tore into the ship breaching 5 watertight compartments from the front of the ship all the way to the aft of the first funnel. The fire was localised to the coal bunker of boiler room 6. It's also assuming the fire burnt hot enough to warp the steel of the hull or damage the iron rivets, which is not impossible but certainly unlikely.

@Dok Skwyr I met a survivor of the Titanic. She lived in the same town as my sister and her husband. They attended the same church. She was a fascinating woman to talk to as she did so very much with her life. I visited a often as I could over the years to her death. She lived into her 90's. I'm in my 60's now and truly miss that amazing woman.

@lil'wil'1990 You were lucky to know her. She does sound fascinating. :--)

The social mores of those times are fully exposed here which makes it all the more believable. This outdoes either previous movies on the sinking. This is not the 1950's, nor the 1990s here. You really feel you are back in those times. Both of my grandparents were of that era and so I can relate to their concerns of those times. This is truly a masterpiece. And it puts Hollywood to shame. Please, sir, I want more! Oh, and the various accents here would not be so likely in America. They're all tone deaf.

Perhaps one of the most telling scenes at 54:33. The young boy who focuses on Barret who has his sombre but strong usual face. Shepherd who strangely turns to Barret upon hearing the mothers question. In the end, the mother knows Sheperd is lying, so turns her head and walks back to their cabin. The young bespeckled boy who cannot help but turn his head to keep Barret in his view.

The air coming up due to the water rising, causing her to effectively "sigh". A Death Sigh. Much akin to a person letting all the air go from their lungs. A final moment of living as the body relaxes and relegates itself to the process of dying and death. As such, Titanic bid her own death Sigh as she slipped below the surface of the water. She took those passengers and the crew who stood behind to keep giving her light and life in her final moments.

Those men died when the keel bent upwards and shoved the boilers in boiler room one, coal bunkers, the water tight bulkhead and the forward cylinders of the reciprocating engines into the deck above. Cracks rapidly propagated from the corner doublers in each deck for the uptakes, and stairwells. At the same time, every one of the L-shaped brackets that held the shell plating to Titanic's decks and inner structure failed as the shell plating bulged outwards from boiler room two all the way to the generator room, a distance of 300 feet. Heavy machinery was torn off their foundations and high pressure steam lines were ruptured, flooding those spaces with 400 degree F steam as tons of metal and machinery fell. The contents of these spaces were pulverized. Then the shell plating failed and the ocean surged into the engine and generator rooms. When the bow started down, the ship bent the other way and the sections of keel and the engine and boiler room's contents dropped away. By the time the stern section sank, those men were approaching the bottom along with the machinery they kept in operation until Titanic split apart into four main pieces. The engineers and electricians who kept the ship afloat and the power on as long as possible are true heroes, all of who went down with their ship. They are in the arms of the angels now.

@timothy reed The wreckage that was the Titanic's midsection tells the story. I build ships, and in the vessels I work on, there are many common design features in common with Titanic. Ship building of course has advanced enormously since Titanic, but tried and true principles of good construction techniques are used to this day, such as the use of corner doublers on every large opening in the decks and rounded corners in any opening in a deck, bulkhead or frame member.

If I remember correctly the coal fire was reported to have started 2 weeks prior to discovery as the warping it caused can be seen in more recently found pictures of the titanic. I’m slightly obsessed with this ship and have been since I was 5 and first learned about it.

Nosnibor Mailliw

You are correct the titanic was using low quality coal which would partially ignite and smolder which weakened the haul of the titanic.

Basically the interior steel of the haul was hot making it pliable and easier to bend while the cold arctic waters made the exterior brittle making the steel more likely to crack and brake.

The major contributing factor in my opinion were the iron rivets used to connect the steel plates of the haul. They did forensic analysis on some of the rivets directly off the titanic, made rivets of the same quality and tested them and found that the rivets became extremely brittle when cold and when tested in conditions to simulate damage to the haul in cold arctic waters the rivets would snap under pressure.

doveton sturdee

2y↑3

@Nosnibor Mailliw The hull of Titanic was not weakened. There was a fire in one of her 13 bunkers. As Titanic used up to 850 tons of coal per day, the fire was dealt with in the usual manner, bunker fires not being particularly uncommon at the time, by using the coal from the affected bunker first. On this occasion, it had been extinguished around a day before the collision. The hull was not compromised.

As Olympic and Titanic were built from the same materials, how is it that Olympic operated as a successful liner until 1934, and did not encounter the same 'brittle metal' problems?

@doveton sturdee we really don’t know how much coal the Titanic used each day

The coal fire at a big effect on the sinking. Tons of coal was put on the other side of the crash site. It gave the ship a balance which fought the flooding side keeping the ship afloat for a little longer.

There was a ship called the Great Eastern it hit an iceberg did the same amount of damage as to the Titanic but the Great Eastern didn't sink it made it back into port because it was built right watertight bulkhead sealed all the way to the top the Great Eastern was built so good they didn't even know it did any damage so they got back to port

The coal fire in the bunker did not weaken the hull. That is a myth. The coal bunker in Boiler Room 5 gave out, not the bulkhead walls, because it was not strong enough to hold massive pressure of waters, because the shipbuilders did not think it would need to hold back water.

I’m watching this for the 2nd time. Incredible attention to detail. Some of the parts that moved me were the part where they know they’re going to sink and the head engineer tells the story about the king trying to hold back the sea, the moral of which was that a king is nothing against the sea. The part that made me laugh and tear up was when the boiler room main character is offered a drink by the wealthy men and they say “good evening”, as in, cheers to death, and he drinks as much as he can. Just great imagery and capture of the human spirit.

Julie Robinson

These were men from a generation brought up on the idea of 'doing your duty'. Only a few years later many of their sons would die on foreign fields doing their duty for King and Country. To them dishonour or being seen as cowards was a worse fear than death.
Though even today when such attitudes are seen as more old fashioned there are still people who will risk - even give - their lives to save others. And strangely people are more likely to do this once one person has made the first move. Whether it's jumping down onto subway tracks with a train coming to save a person who has fallen or running towards a burning car to save those who are trapped, often everyone in a crowd will hesitate, but once one person takes that risk others will follow and help.

Sorry mate but I don't believe that anyone would walk off a job in 1912. It just didn't happen. There was no social serve, no unemployment, no food pantries. You work or you starved and so did your family. Belfast was a very poor community full of the poor and unemployed and no one, let alone 60K men would walkout. Why would anyone walk off their job over a ship running into an iceberg. People were thankful to work not like today. You need to look up history before you make up stories because someone will call you out.

@Dok Skwyr Your statement about your great uncles wasn't what was being questioned by Pat Stokes it was your statement stating that 60,000 men walked off the job. First of all the Harland and Wolff shipyard didn't even employ 60,000 men it employed roughly 14,000 to 15,000 and of those maybe 3,000 to 4,000 had worked on the building of Titanic. And no a mass walkout did not happen.
