Whats up people hope youre having an awesome day, Im your host Ayman Hasan and welcome
back to another video here at most amazing top 10.
Theres something about the Titanic that has always pulled me in.
Its one of the oddest tragedies to ever happen in my opinion and i know a lot worse has happened
since and our hearts will go on but cmon.
The movie was heart wrenching, ive even seen the bloody animated version, ive watched numerous
documentaries on it.
It just really makes me feel a type of way.
So these are the Top 10 Scary Objects From The Titanic.
Starting us off with number 10 is The Inspection Card.
Passenger Marion Meanwell originally had different travel plans but when a coal strike delayed
her scheduled trip on the Majestic she came aboard the Titanic.
On the inspection card you can see her name and the Majestic crossed out and replaced
with the Titanic instead.
Marion didnt survive the shipwreck and the card really makes you think.
They were probably on a time constraint rushing to get somewhere and thought if the Titanic
is the quickest and soonest then the Titanic itll be.
Not having any idea of what that split decision would do.
But then again none of them knew right?
Coming in at number 9 is Amy.
A bracelet was recovered from the shipwreck of the Titanic and auctioned off 100 years
after the ship sank.
There bracelet itself looks like a gold chain and it has Amy in the middle made from silver
and diamonds.
Honestly there was something about it that just struck me as eerie.
Maybe its the fact that Amy is probably dead and she couldve been wearing that when the
ship hit the iceberg and everything was going down.
I think its all the possibilities behind the bracelet which are scary.
Was she sliding to the other side of the ship and the bracelet got caught on something and
came off, was it part of her luggage that went down with the ship, we’ll never know.
Maybe it didnt even belong to Amy, maybe a man had gotten it for his wife or girlfriend
and was going to give it to her when the ship docked.
We will never know.
At number 8 we have The Plan.
This was the blueprint of the Titanic drawn by the Naval Architects Department at White
Star Line the company that owned the Titanic.
Sold for 308,000 euros at an auction, the plan is actually one of the most important
pieces of memorabilia we have because it was heavily used for investigation after the disaster
to see if the ship itself had any role to play in the crash.
Were there any faulty areas, any super vulnerable spots that perhaps they missed in planning
etcetera.
Witnesses and survivors of the crash were shown the plan so they could point out where
exactly the ship hit the iceberg and those points are marked onto the plan.
The drawing itself is a marvel, its a whopping 9.2m long which surprised me initially but
given how big the starliner was herself it doesnt surprise me at all.
Filling our number 7 slot is The Trunk.
There are many stories explaining why Howard Irwin never boarded the Titanic when he was
meant to.
One story was that because he was a heavy gambler, he was beaten up and kidnapped and
forced to work on a ship going to the Middle East.
That's some Jason Bourne ting right there.
He was supposed to go to New York with his friend Henry Sutehall and so when Henry got
on the ship on April 10th, he brought Howards trunk with him expecting to meet him later
on.
And of course he never did.
They recovered Howards trunk from the shipwreck and hes obviously still alive hopefully back
home and not still working on a ship
Now at number 6 are the keys.
They actually did a really good job of conserving these keys, i thought theyd be rusty and old
and water damaged but they look like theyre in tip top shape.
This specific set was used by Titanic crewman Samuel Hemming who was the storekeeper of
the ship.
He was ordered to use it to unlock the door where the lifeboat lanterns were kept to make
sure all 15 boats had lit oil lamps.
This was done soon after the captains realised doom was inevitable and that there was no
way they were going to avoid the iceberg.
Imagine being told you have to do that and why, he was probably trying to comprehend
near imminent death whilst making sure all the lamps were on.
Real MVP right there.
Coming in at number 5 is The Violin.
Sold for 1.5 million euros this violin belonged to Wallace Hartley who was part of the band
who did live entertainment for the ship.
Now if youve seen the movie you know that the violin player starts playing when the
ship goes down and the rest of the band joins in to kind of mask the sound of chaos around
everyone.
And youd think that was just for effect since it is a movie and theyre trying to pull at
your heartstrings but it actually happened.
Wallace did grab his violin during the ships last few critical moments and starting playing
Nearer My God to Thee, inspiring his bandmates to do the same.
Imagine that being the soundtrack of your death.
At number 4 is The Robe.
I think the robe was meant to be beige originally but after spending so long on the ocean floor
it turned this light greenish colour.
The silk kimono style robe was worn by a first class passenger called Lucy Christiana.
Whereas other reports say it was worn by Lady Duff Gordan either way she wore it as she
was escaping the ship and hurrying into a lifeboat and then later the RMS Carpathia
(car-paythia).
That is a fancy ass getaway outfit if i ever saw one but i'm not even surprised i feel
like people probably just ran for safety regardless of if they were wearing a 3 piece suit or
were completely naked.
I wouldve taken it off to be able to run faster but they were also getting into lifeboats
into freezing water so the coverup makes complete sense.
Filling our number 3 slot is The Pocketwatch.
Till 2008 this was actually the most expensive Titanic artifact sold in an auction, it was
sold for 130,000 euros which is around 146,000 USD.
It belonged to a first class steward on the ship called Edmund Stone who also owned the
master keys to the whole first class cabin.
So he was pretty up there.
Eerily enough the watch stopped ticking at exactly 2:16am which would have been around
the time Edmund landed in the ice cold water of the ocean.
Now this is a proper relic frozen in time, when i read that sentence while i was researching
this video it almost made me flashback to seeing this mans arm going into the Atlantic
Ocean even though i wasnt even there.
It honestly gives me chills and idk if its because the fact it stopped when he died is
freaky or im just imaging the cold water all over me.
Now at number 2 is The Last Lifeboat.
Collapsible A was the last lifeboat to leave the titanic not everyone survived but most
of them were saved by Oceanic.
A month after the sinking it was recovered and workers were doing their best to patch
it back up.
But what they found inside the lifeboat made them speechless.
Inside collapsible A they found the decomposing bodies of 3 passengers.
One was wearing a dinner jacket later identified as first class passenger Thomson Beattie,
and the other two bodies were firemen that had just been stuffed under the lifeboats
seats.
One of their arms even came off as the boarding officer was trying to move them.
A wedding ring was found too but i guess Oceanic left the dead bodies behind when they were
saving the rest.
The ring belonged to Elin Lindell who got to the lifeboat but later drowned.
Her husband held the ring on Collapsible A till he too died.
And his body has never been recovered.
And finally at number 1 is The Letter.
I think this is one of the most profound artifacts that was recovered from the Titanic but also
one of the most spine chilling.
April 14th 1912 the Titanic hit the iceberg, 2 and a half hours later the ship sank with
1500 people aboard.
During that 2 and a half hours first class passenger Doctor Washington Dodge decided
to write a letter.
Even his name sounds boujee.
In the letter he vividly describes the ships final hours, the sinking, the chaos, the loss,
its one of the earliest most immediate accounts of the disaster ever found.
His handwriting is all over the place which i'm sure you can understand given his state
of mind.
But he did in fact survive the shipwreck so i guess it wasnt all bad after all.
I mean what am i saying it was all bad.
And thats it for todays video guys!
Having been a tragedy that basically everyone knows, this video was actually really fun
to do despite how morbid the content is.
I saw the movie Ghost Ship when i was young and now everytime i imagine the wreckage of
Titanic underwater i just keep imagining the ghost ship with a bunch of first, second and
third class passengers’ ghosts milling about.
Either way lemme know what you guys thought of this video and as always im your host Ayman
Hasan and ill catch you next time.
Byee.
