The wreck of the RMS Titanic holds many secrets; from the Marconi wireless system that tells the story of its operators' fight to get their critical message across to the bottles of champagne that litter the ocean floor and may still be drinkable!

With special thanks to Jack Gibson and James Penca as well as the whole Titanic Honor and Glory team for providing renders of Titanic's interior spaces.

  • Hi friends! This video is an amalgam of two older videos from this channel which were taken down by a bogus copyright claim last year. I have tweaked a few things and merged them together to create one video. Please enjoy this blast from the past :)

    Every detail of Titanic’s wreck is pretty chilling, it’s quite cold down there.
  • I’ll never forget James Cameron’s team initial reaction to seeing the Turkish bath for the first time, it was truly amazing.
  • I don't know why I get so choked up thinking of those wireless operators doing what they could to shut down properly in hopes of preventing a possibly catastrophic electrical short in the chaotic conditions at hand. Truly, an impressive display of the best humanity has to offer. Just one of many that morning to be sure but hats off to you gentlemen!
  • Shipwrecks in general are some of the most terrifying things on earth. What is practically a small city, now abandoned and decayed, leaving only nature living inside of it, encased in darkness forever until it rusts away entirely. We see little bits of humanity, such as the bottles still upright, or the plates scattered across the seabed, but still neatly stacked. Even the little bits of clothes left behind show humanity. These artifacts left show how quickly everything changed, one moment, a steward was stacking plates, a passenger was walking the deck, and someone has just finished a drink, and placed it in their cabins shelf. The next, their vessel is sinking, and they are forced to abandon the last bit of known safety for hundreds of miles, forced to row the unknown darkness of the Atlantic. Shipwrecks are the most terrifying things on earth for that reason. Titanic’s can elevate this, because we’ve watched it decay for nearly 40 years. We know soon that it’ll be gone, but we raise what we can from the wreck, and preserve the last bits of humanity left. We preserve Titanic’s human elements, as they are what matter most. The ship and its passengers/crew will never be forgotten this way.
  • I'm always leery when I see titles like, "Chilling Titanic Wreck Details" but then I saw it was Oceanliner Designs and eagerly clicked! You are the best for intriguing maritime information and facts.

    For me, the most haunting images are the many pairs of shoes lying side by side. I know that's where the body of a Titanic victim came to rest, while wearing those shoes. It almost feels like I'm looking inside a grave.
  • @NankitaBR
    That last detail is really chilling. Those men were doing everything they could until literally the very end.
  • James Cameron has been an incredible source when it comes to the titanic being an archaeological site, without his arduous research and dives we wouldn't know a lot of information about not just the titanic but the deep ocean in general
  • @Dokify
    As a child I loved the titanic for some reason. I have no idea why I was so fascinated in it but I was and even still to this day I do enjoy occasionally watching stuff on it
  • @jomac841
    That lone davit on the starboard side is a hauntingly beautiful memorial to those who died trying to save as many as possible.
  • As an amateur radio operator, I appreciated the detail you put into the wireless segment. it's crazy how two rooms worth of equipment in Titanic's day now fits in a radio smaller than a shoe box, AND the modern radio is much more capable!
  • @8ballout
    No matter how often I hear the story about the Titanic, it always makes me feel really sad. So many lives lost at sea and the fear they must have had, facing the inevitable end. So many lives lost but never forgotten.
  • @Brock_Landers
    I have been researching Titanic and maritime history in general longer than Mike has been alive, and yet here he is teaching me new facts of Titanic. Thank you Mike for all that you do.
  • How titanic still has silverware still neatly arranged on tables, china plates and cups still neatly stocked in the kitchen. I have an RV and can barely keep anything upright after a 10 mile trip.

    On champagne vs wine bottles: The shape of the cork , the cap and muselet of the campagne bottle would prevent the cork from being preessed in by the pressure differetial. And the muselet would prevent the cork from spreading out and this by keeping its shape prevented from breaking and letting rest be pushed in. In a wine bottle, it is easy to just push the cork in. The pressure inside the champagne bottle would have little to do with preserving it because the 5500psi pressure is no match for the low pressure inside the bottles. It is however a testament to the glass able to widthtand that pressure differential between the small amount of gas inside bottle and the water outside.
  • For me, it's really sad to see the wreckage of Titanic. To think that this was a ship destined for greatness only to end up a mangled wreck on the sea floor on her maiden voyage is just depressing. Not to mention that around 1,500 people went down with her.
