See a photo collage of Margaret "Molly" Brown. The nickname of "Molly" was a Hollywood invention created years later in the s. It was part of a highly fictional tale that became the basis for the Broadway musical, The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Before boarding the ship, Margaret had been traveling with J. Astor and his wife Madeline in Cairo, Egypt. Margaret booked a First Class passage on the Titanic after learning that her grandson Lawrence was ill. The human body loses heat to the water about 30 times faster than it does to the air.
Some people in the water might have believed that swimming would help their body to generate heat. There were even several people who died from hypothermia in the Titanic lifeboats, because they were open and gave no protection against the cold.
Regulations have since been put in place that require lifeboats to be fully or partially enclosed. The Cunard liner Carpathia, under the command of Captain Arthur Rostron, was only fifty-eight miles away when Titanic sent her distress call at A.
It took the Carpathia four hours to reach the Titanic's position. View a photo of the Titanic's lifeboats approaching the Carpathia. In all, passengers were rescued and over perished in the disaster. Among the passengers rescued were 58 men; all of whom came under public scrutiny after news broke that approximately women and children died mostly from Second and Third class.
Titanic survivor Adolphe Saalfeld said of the Carpathia, "The Captain and Officers of the Carpathia did all that was possible to make us comfortable, and to those that were sick or injured; they gave their most tender care. The icebergs were huge and the weather extremely rough on the voyage to New York.
There are no reports of Bruce Ismay disguising himself as a woman to sneak into a lifeboat as he does in the movie. Thayer "did not blame him," because from what Thayer could see, "It was really every man for himself. London society labeled Bruce Ismay one of the biggest cowards in history, and both the American and English press ruthlessly attacked him. Some papers even published cartoons of Ismay deserting the ship. It holds no place in Titanic history. The nearly full-scale Titanic replica created for the film was badly damaged when the filmmakers submerged it underwater to recreate the sinking.
It was dismantled after filming wrapped. However, several of the Titanic interiors are still there, including Rose's 1st class stateroom, Jack's 3rd class stateroom, the purser's office where Jack was handcuffed to the pipe , the outside deck, and the Palm Court dining room. Tours are available to the public. Like the original ship, the replica when it existed was 60 feet from the boat deck to the water.
Certain repetitive lengthwise sections of the ship were omitted, which made it shorter than the original The movie ship had only been completed on one side. As a result, there are several scenes in which the ship is reversed, such as in the "I'm the king of the world" scene where the crew galley skylight gives the reversal away.
Very few of the ship's interiors were built into the replica's framework itself. Most were built on neighboring sound stages. The set designs, costumes and the ship itself were meticulously recreated. View a comparison photo of Titanic's Grand Staircase. In several cases, James Cameron even hired the original manufacturers to reproduce such things as carpets and lifeboat davits.
Survivors from Southampton, UK talk about their experiences on the night of the Titanic disaster. The last audio clip features Southampton local Iris Lee telling her story of how her father gave up his position on the Titanic. She explains that he was too shook up to go after discovering a human head floating by while at work in the docks.
Edith Haisman, 7, Traveling to Canada with Parents - "There was a lot of lifeboats and people on rafts, some of them frozen dead, it was terrible. You heard the screams, it was terrible, the screams of the people. I hoped my father would get off the ship.
That's all I was hoping for. My mother had this dreadful premonition. She never had one before and she never had one after. Grace July 30, From the Cinema to TV. Here is a list of Titanic movies — including many of the posters along with photos from various productions.
In Nacht und Eis, a film produced in Germany. It was thought lost until a collector discovered a copy in his collection in Saved from the Titanic, a film starring Titanic survivor Dorothy Gibson. Interestingly, while playwright Ernest Raymond extensively researched the Titanic catastrophe for his show, the play never actually mentions this ship by name.
Similarly, the movie version refers to its vessel as the Atlantic. This was likely done at the request of the White Star Line, the British shipping company that had built the Titanic between and To do so, the script threw accuracy out the window. This is pure fiction , wholly unsupported by the evidence, and the only character who ever warns Ismay about the dangers of icebergs is a made-up German officer named Petersen.
At the end of the movie, Petersen tries to bring this greedy scoundrel to justice before a board of inquiry. Since the ruling body is percent British, Ismay—naturally—gets off scot-free.
With that generous budget, his team was able to construct a foot model of the doomed ship for the sinking scene. The government also gave Selphin more or less whatever he asked for—including an actual ocean liner that was used in exterior shots.
In fact, despite the ongoing war, German soldiers were temporarily taken out of the front lines and utilized as Titanic extras. Selphin never lived to see his propagandic masterpiece.
Ironically, when Titanic was finished, Goebbels worried that audiences would see it as an anti-Nazi movie. Ergo, the propaganda minister banned Titanic from German cinemas. A heavily edited version was subsequently screened in Deutschland during the s. Starring Barbara Stanwyck and Clifton Webb, the movie mostly consists of fictional characters modeled after real passengers. Found 9 films. Cameron tackles the story of the doomed ocean liner through a touching love story that isn't overwhelmed by the awesome special effects.
