The Titanic - Truth Or Fiction- Dead Reckoning #titanic #deadreckoning / SirRiotGaming #documentary

foreign [Music] s of the bell in the RMS Titanic's Crow's Nest in April of 1912 unknowingly signaled the impending death of 1 500 people in that moment the next 100 Years of History would be breached by this Reckless tragedy provoking a Relentless pursuit of answers as to why so many had to die in the Titanic's last hours death came as a leveler to a world of class wealth and privilege a world abruptly swamped by struggling steerage-class immigrants as Keen as any Aristocrat to escape the gruesome demise that confronted them as death became certain the magic of Marconi's Wireless Telegraph machines sprang to life sending frantic pulses and pauses of Morse code into the unseeing night foreign ly off the pork Bell an unannounced and unidentified light on the horizon of the night sky became a shimmering gleam of Hope a ship approached within just a few miles the Titanic was not alone now startling Revelations suggest an answer to the mystery that has haunted the tragic disaster for so long the identity of the ship that turned its back on the Titanic [Music] on April 22 1912 just seven days after the dreamship RMS Titanic sank beneath the Waters of the North Atlantic a man walked into the Toronto Star newspaper officers and stunned the reporters this gentleman who walked into a busy Newsroom identified himself as Friedrich Quito and he was a doctor and the story he unfolded it was amazing thus began one of the enduring Mysteries surrounding the loss of the Titanic one that has lasted 108 years until now 1912 a time of wealth confidence and New Beginnings a most auspicious period of time for the unsinkable Titanic to set out on its maiden voyage its only Voyage into the annals of History [Music] the Royal Mail ship Titanic is the second of three ocean liners built for the White Star Line by Harland and wolf in Belfast the sister ship to the RMS Olympic which preceded Titanic on the North Atlantic's lucrative mail and passenger routes RMS Titanic is designed to be the Pinnacle of British passenger transport departing Southampton for New York City with 1 300 passengers and a contingent of 900 officers and crew in the early 1900s we were shifting from a period of ships that were driven by sail and wood to ships that were driven by Steam and steel they were bigger ships they were faster ships Titanic was really built as strong ship to withstand the blow from another ship and it was not built to be a ship that would even encounter an iceberg with the departure date confirmed Titanic becomes the epicenter of employment as white star quickly fills all positions available but that was put onto the maiden voyage of the Olympic then he was selected to go on the Titanic and he was thrilled just as white star promised on April 10 1912 the Titanic pulls away from with a newly hired crew and eager passengers the Titanic had had a wonderful maiden voyage so far the weather guard had been smiling on Captain Smith and his command bright Sunshine smooth Seas ever since leaving Queenstown and southern Ireland and the ship had been performing exceptionally well she had made up of steadily increasing mileages each day and it was a great deal of a pleasure being felt amongst the passengers at the uh the prospect of making a smart arrival in New York white stars most seasoned and most trusted captain of Maiden voyages 62 year old Edward John Smith is at the Helm of the Lion's newest edition Captain Smith of the Titanic was a a cultured well-cuffed man very presentable with his trimmed white beard and inordinately popular he had a devoted following in those days the hard thought it is to believe today you know Maritime Skippers were almost like rock stars they they had their their personal coat away of uh Society Grand dams uh and wealthy plutocrats alongside Captain Smith and drawn from the Royal naval Reserve Titanic's seemingly experienced crew includes officers who are familiar with sailing with Captain Smith and the elite of the Edwardian class aside from the captain the only two uh senior officers that were allowed to freely mingle with a ship's doctor and the Purser and that was it in 1912 the distance between officers and passengers was great officers were given very strict instructions be polite answer their questions quickly and then go about your business there was no socialization Captain Smith is no stranger to the North Atlantic New York Route and neither are his two executive officers chief officer Henry Wilde and first Officer William Murdoch both of whom had just sailed with Smith on the Olympic as the ship of Dreams heads West opening up to speeds close to her maximum Captain Smith and his officers tend to the well-oiled machine senior officers wild Murdoch and light roller take their shifts as officers of the watch while Junior officers Pittman boxhall Lowe and Moody maintain the ship's performance and position [Music] foreign the year in which they encountered the iceberg was admitted to All by all to be an unusual year in which the icebergs were flowing further south if the Titanic were in a visible ice field I would think that the captain would be on the bridge but keep in mind that up to the point of collision they were not in an ice field and the burgs that had been seen were seen at a great distance so the clear and present danger was not really at hand the ice for weeks past it posed serious challenges to Mariners but on this particular Sunday we know that many of the Masters of vessels the captains with their own commands they were taking things in a very cautious Manner and some ships like the Niagara were coming in were damaged and buckled plates the SS Californian is one of several ships in the area that night and at her head was a Bolton shipmaster aged only 35. his name was Captain Stanley Lord and he had made a meteoric rise in his profession and he had a reputation as a fine Navigator in large Zone words it was an extraordinary night the sea was completely flat calm there was a clear night no waves no nothing absolute calm there's no moon but plenty of stars that Sunday had proven to be a long day at least for the captain of a single-funnel cargo ship the night of the of the accident Lord had been on duty for a long shift after 16 hours and he was tired you know he was in in a nice field he was a command of a ship and he wanted to make sure it was safe this was the practically the first time the Californian had had a Marconi operator aboard um the Marconi operator himself had only made uh two previous voyages and that was on another ship The Californians Wireless operator Cyril Evans has also had a busy day exchanging messages about the ice weather conditions and its location with other ships in the area but on the Titanic this message crashed in upon the ears of Jack Phillips Titanic's Telegraph operators are also busy in addition to ship to ship messages they are finally within range of the first North American relay station at Cape race Newfoundland Sydney Phillips was assaulted by this unwanted information about some small freighter being stuck in pack eyes so much wears North when his own ship was racing as he knew for New York Titanic's reply shut up shut up I'm busy I'm working Cape race with the receipt of that reply a reply that possibly sealed Titanic's fate Cyril Evans signs off from the wireless room of the Californian just an hour later The Californians unheeded warning would come to haunt the captain and officers of the Titanic Tim Smith could not have known the ship was not where his officers reported it was or how it negated the impact of ice warnings being received throughout the day leaving Titanic's safe passage dependent on the Lookouts in the Crow's Nest when you're a lookout it is not necessary for you to be able to say what it is you're seeing your job is to just raise the alarm I have something there they were huddled up against the cold peering and their blaring eyes naturally produce tears which made it harder still blinking those away and staring and looking all over the sea their job was to identify objects and they would ring a bell to send that signal to the bridge it would be one Bell for somewhere on the port side it would be two Bells for something to the starboard and it would be three Bells for an object ahead now once they had wrong clang clang clang their job was done then the officers on the bridge identify it and decide what they're going to do about it that's not the lookout's problem look out doesn't have to provide an identity at 11 40 PM April 14 1912 three Bells pierce the night signaling Titanic is heading right into her Kill Zone an iceberg Dead Ahead without ample time to avoid it by the turn of the wheel the duty to respond to the alarm Falls to First Officer Murdoch who by training and Instinct goes to the open Bridge Wing to determine a course of action he gives the order for evasive measures to turn the ship but it's too late not enough time in just 30 seconds the ship strikes the massive Iceberg bringing Captain Smith to the bridge calls on the officers to provide two key pieces of information the ship's position and the status of the damage both responses are flawed and both have deadly consequences a position is established by Celestial observations and there's basically two ways you can do it one is by using the Sun but you can't get a what we call a fix you can't get exact position from the Sun you can get a latitude and you can use estimates to get a longitude now the next way you can get a fix is by the Stars if they manage to get a fix by the stars on the evening prior to the collision with the iceberg then anything after that has got to be estimated you know so they're going to say right we're doing 23 and a half knots we've got a current that is going the opposite way or whatever we're altering the course which affect the speed so everything is estimated so it's quite conceivable that the estimates were wrong but how Acro was the evening Stars the responsibility of setting Titanic's position for the SOS was fourth officer box Halls the Captain's Order is to set a dead reckoning a calculation based on the last known position adjusted by time speed current and Direction and then transmit those coordinates voxels calculations are reviewed deemed wrong and recalled minutes later a new position is sent to All Ships able to receive the message confirming Titanic's sinking position very easy to make a mistake if he did make a mistake there is a mistake while the ship's new position is being sent out the wounded Titanic continues to Steve West one of the great misunderstandings of the Titanic disaster is that she collided with Berg has stopped and drank her death water her fatal fail of thousands of tons of water not at all they they paused merely and then they got underway again and drove water against the damage after the Titanic hit the iceberg she carried on for another 10 minutes and the captain eventually had to stop the ship because the water was creating a lot of pressure on the hull and making the water float into the ship during the inquiry Edward Wilding who was the ship's designer was asked about the rate of flooding and he calculated that Titanic was taking on 500 tons of seawater a minute shortly after midnight Thomas Andrews the builder of the Titanic and a first-class passenger completes his review of the damage his dire assessment is reported to Captain Smith the Titanic has less than two hours to live [Music] Titanic is taking on water at an important the sinking ship is guaranteed to take with it hundreds of lives in the throes of desperation as the lifeboats are being readied the wireless operators pump out the SOS pleading for any able ship to come [Music] this great Hefty tome is Lloyd's Register of shipping from 1912 1913 and every ship gets a sailing ships as well and steam ships they all get an individual entry here giving details of their ownership and so on this role is alphabetically and we have thousands upon thousands of ships just illustrating a vast forests of masts that were going across the North Atlantic at that time there were over 200 westbound ships on the North Atlantic at the time the Titanic sank now they were spaced over the ocean they weren't all right in that vicinity but there very well could have been several that were in that vicinity the amazing thing about all this is that those ships that are listed as having Wireless consist of just as a mask just those few pages there so prior to the Advent of Wireless if you think about it ships were limited to communicating only with those ships they had in view the great thing about Wireless is that certainly you are broadcasting over the curvature of the earth and ships you couldn't see Titanic's Mighty Marconi signal splits the Knight for more than 500 Miles the SOS reaches Titanic sister ship the Olympic as well as the masaba the mount Temple Baltic Frankfurt Californian Virginian the Burma and the eventual rescue ship the Carpathia whose Captain announces they are lighting up and coming at full speed it was the Board of Trade that permitted that satanic to go to sea with the inadequate number of lifeboats the Titanic had lifeboats to accommodate about 1100 people when the vessel itself could accommodate 3 500 people if every single seat in every single boat had been filled half of the people on board were still destined to die clearly there was a situation that would have lent itself very well to people becoming Panic stricken when my grandfather came down I said I've just been up on Deck and he sold the uncovering the lifeboats the officer came and and said go to these cabins and tell everyone in the cabinet that they must dress warmly put life jackets on uh got up on deck and he was told to stay calm not create Panic she's Unsinkable they kept saying that all the time then they'd all become Women and Children First all hands on deck report to your Lifeboat stations immediately people didn't want to get into the lifeboats because there was no obvious sign that the ship was sinking they'll be safe it's Unsinkable that'd be great they'll get there around 12 15 am the crew and passengers are given another reason to be hopeful when she eventually came to a halt Vauxhall uh thought he saw some lights he got the binoculars out looked over in that direction and saw the written Port starboard lights of of a ship which indicated that this ship was coming directly towards Titanic the captain came up and he also saw these lights through binoculars distance is hard to judge at sea but Captain Smith saw it as being close and this ship is the bowl of their salvation they invest everything in this and maybe people shrink back from the boats and maybe that plays a role in the fact that many of the early boats left ill-filled and the people went to their debts as a result with the clock ticking off the two hours shipbuilder Thomas Andrews had predicted it would take for the Titanic to sink pressure to get the lifeboats launched is intense they watched as number 12 vote went down and as it was going down while mother could see that that boat was half empty you could have got more than 20 people in there she said while she was looking up she saw a light a bright light in a distance she said look flat light that ship is coming to our rescue and now they're asking themselves do I need to trust my life to this wooden cockle shell that's about to go down into the into a crevasse of depth on a dark night when we might be lost when the ship might steam later to New York leaving us behind it was 70 to 80 feet down to the water and then there was a matter of getting into the boat which wasn't just right next to the side but certainly uh you know cause you to think I'm much safer on the deck here and we'll just wait till the ship arrives and we'll be okay as the first lifeboats reached the icy waters the mystery ship can still be seen in the distance so being terrified of what was going to happen and whether that ship was going to come near them the unsinkable ship is taking on sea water off a suboxhall and the Marconi operators continue to reach out to the ship seen off the port Bell Rockets were being fired about every five minutes but in those days Rockets were used to do that with other ships there's an identification it wasn't a stress signal at all Witnesses crew survivors has said that they've seen the ship on the horizon that should have come to the rescue that didn't [Music] It seems impossible for the unresponsive ship to have missed or ignored the Rockets the flashing Moss lamps and the SOS messages pulsing through the night but it remains stationary in the distance that ship isn't coming The Californians Captain Stanley Lord is a dower-faced man who looks much older than his 35 years the very antithesis of a rock star captain at 10 20 PM the Californian encounters an icefield and Captain Lord decides to stop the ship until morning when he can determine the safest passage Evans switched off his um zapparatus and unfortunately he never again went to his machine until somewhere after five in the morning boats Carol last much longer Titanic's officers anticipate the loading process will be chaotic and that pandemonium will ultimately set in before leaving the bridge they are issued revolvers people we need to panic [Applause] Far Below in the belly of the Beast there was a grim procession of stewards men coming from forward where they were housed they were shunting and grumbling towards the stern of the ship then ascend uh to the deck that they have been allocated which is the shelter deck aft and from there they must look up and they see the boats but they know that those are boats that don't belong to them there are no boats at the shelter deck level where they are the brave among them will have no choice but to jump many won't survive the fall and they're a kind of a hidden flaw in the design of these life jackets manifested itself if you jumped these cork panels both in front of you and in back of you would rise up under your chin and very probably break your neck if you have self-possession enough to gather your senses you are now in the horrible position and somebody has put you in that position of realizing you have to wait full hour before your appointment with a bone chilling death [Music] I think that the captain made the correct decision at the time because he he knew what situation he was in Titanic was a ship that was sinking it was sending flurs 900 foot into the air it was trying to mask the ship the passengers the crew could see the ship with Captain Lord's ship laid up for the night then who was the ship seen by those in the lifeboats and on the decks of the Titanic whether mystery [ __ ] thought Titanic would would not sink whether he thought that a Titanic was was sort of going to stay afloat and the Titanic was obviously portrayed as being Unsinkable it was its own Lifeboat why would he put his ship in danger to a ship that wasn't going to sink the master of vessel would be required to render assistance to another bass let's see even if that vessel was an enemy vessel to the extent that it was practical to do so without endangering your own vessel now that leads us of course to the discussion about whether going into an ice field has already claimed one vessel would be a prudent course of action scattered around the now bow down sinking ship the lanterns in the lifeboats can be seen bobbing in the dark certainly visible to the lurking ship yet they are ignored as lifeboats are lowered and row away panic and the fight for survival set in aboard the Titanic late in the evening you actually see evidence of the crowds pushing forward towards the lifeboats it got so bad that the crew actually had to form a circle locking their arms and allowing Only Women and Children to come through and now there's real Panic on the way passengers trying to climb into lifeboats are told to get out or to face being shot one of the men in the group said there's nothing for you now here lad it's every man for himself you best jump good luck hey things over the side there is barrels doors everything that went it could float they were jumping over over still visible from the lifeboats the lights of the mystery ship start to fade leaving the desperate Titanic passengers nowhere to go they were abandoned those Lifeboat lanterns snuffed out one by one I feel sure it's people inside those boats realized with the slumping and sinking and loss of the RMS Titanic that soon a thrashing horde of swimmers would be on their way to their Lifeboat [Applause] [Applause] [Music] foreign it seems like the Titanic was on the the uh the Eastern side of the field of ice and the the some of the other ships were on that Western Field in the Western Field was apparently just simply thicker and more visible and was was dangerous which again would demonstrate that this ship was not to Californian because when we leave the Californian was more than 20 miles away during this time there were other ships in the area and there were other suspects for the mystery ship Mount Temple was one um the captain of the mount Temple was told by his company not to go into the ice field under any account otherwise his ship he would be held personally accountable for anyone who's lost the mount Temple was bound West for Saint John New Brunswick in the Canadian maritimes in comparison to the Titanic about just under eight times smaller she had four Mass single funnel yellow there wasn't much luxury or Prestige about the mount Temple James Henry Moore is the master of the mount Temple at 52 years old with 13 years as Captain he's well seasoned a company man working for the Canadian Pacific Line sailing with specific orders not to cross the ice but to go around it Martin Wells take no chances unlike the steaming charging Titanic which had been heading at 22 to 23 knots towards an ice field we're not going to go in and imperil our own ship and risk our own lives in the lives of our passengers to go deeper into an ice field that has already damaged the greatest ship ever built the mount Temple got the Titanic's distress signals that night cooperator John Oscar Durant was staying up late when he heard this dread news flashed out to The Ether that the Titanic was sinking there were rules that were given to these captains as to what they did in ice and at that time you answered to your boss in his own a ledger of messages received and transmitted dorrent writes that he tried to apply but the Titanic could not hear him I say I received and transmitted but in fact a curious feature of this Saga is that the mount Temple never transmitted a further Wireless message that night silently observing the unfolding horror the mystery ship ignores Titanic's plight before making a chilling move visible from the lifeboats and decks box Hall could see not only Mass headlights but green and red you could even see portholes in her Hull how tempting that Prospect of Salvation must have been the fate of the remaining passengers and crew aboard the Titanic is sealed they will go down with the ship the first boat goes off at 12 45 and by 2 20 am the Titanic sinks and those last two boats that leave the Titanic literally float off the ship as it goes down we have evidence from the passengers who went out in the Titanic's Lifeboat they were speaking about her her eight decks of light eight decks one on top of the other she was festooned with light those on the mystery ship and in the lifeboats witness the agonizing final moments of the unsinkable ship as it breaks apart and disappears beneath the waves and they withdrew their oars and they just watched as the Titanic would slowly sinking one lady in the boat said by gold is gone just like that the Titanic's gone how could any ship leave a ship especially if Titanic's size in distress nobody can explain it and and I don't know if anybody ever will when they're on the Lifeboat waiting for Rescue he said the screams and the cries were awful [Music] do nothing to help they couldn't help anybody but as they always went on the worst and those cries for help was the silence when they knew those people that lost their struggle the saddest number of that night is that although Titanic had Lifeboat space for 1178 people there are nearly 500 seats that were sent away empty [Music] foreign breaks Evans The Californians Marconi operator hears of Titanic's distressed Cries From hours before and alerts Captain Lord the captain immediately readies his ship and sets course for the sinking location given by Titanic this position was to the south and west of where the Californian was stopped hours earlier the nearby Carpathia set course for the Titanic positioning additional Lookouts and sailing full speed through the ice field at 4am they encounter lifeboats nowhere near the reported SOS position Lords went first West and and to this side this is the point where the distressed signals were reportedly from he realized that there was he was in the wrong position and and actually had to go back through the ice field again at full speed to the Carpathian where they were picking the lifeboats up on the way he actually passed a stationary Mount Temple who was not making any effort to go to Titanic Zed the Lord arrived at the Carpathia right around 8 30 am when they were getting the last of the survivors but he exchanged messages with the captain of Carpathia and said he would stay in search for any other survivors which he did for another good two hours but he finds none meanwhile without word or aid from the mount Temple the 700 plus survivors of the Titanic sailed to New York City on board the Carpathia the Californian Carries On To Boston and the mount Temple steams home to Canada while in New York an inquest into the sinking was initiated someone has to be blamed and Senator Alden Smith will see to it it is remarkable to think that the hearings the American hearings began the day following the docking of the ship this is an unheard of speed on the part of being legislature to get to an inquiry so quickly foreign [Music] the U.S inquiry begins in New York on April 19th just four days after the sinking the inquiry which can a portion blame but not render consequences calls 80 witnesses to determine who was at fault based on the testimony the committee quickly concludes the SS Californian was the only ship the Titanic crew and passengers could have seen and Captain Lord comes into the crosses but Captain Lord had been interviewed by the inquiry as a witness to assist them in their findings and then they they soon honed in on him and on his his own ship's responsibility and alleged in actions the fact that they were concentration on Lord meant that they weren't concentrating on other things that obviously might be to the detriment of the White Star Line as soon as something is decided by by official them that most people are willing to go with that and not to look Beyond it Captain Lords you know situation is is that he was uh probably the wrong man at the wrong place at the wrong time steaming from the reported sinking site of Titanic captain Moore got the mount Temple to the docks of Saint John she made her landfall she birthed normally but she was already a ship that was seething with rumor and dissension a lot of anger on board about the alleged happenings on the night the Titanic went down after disembarking on April 19 many of Mount Temple's crew and passengers seized the opportunity to tell their stories from the early morning hours four days prior curiously Mount Temple's logbook contains no mention of the details in the passengers accounts despite the fact that they had come across an extraordinary incident there's no mention at all made in the log of the mount Temple for anything after April the 14th 1912. that's the Fateful Sunday there's something even more strange About That official log there are Pages missing in the mount Temple log and it looks as if it's been re-stitched as if Pages have been introduced The Mystery of the missing notes in the ship's log is oddly compounded by an additional detail obviously added later discovered in the Marconi log why this additional detail that didn't seem to be there originally was added particularly after a casualty has happened and people are investigating as to why it happened it is a question mark as to why did this occur who did it and what was the motivation in doing it does make you wonder why any logbook would be altered after the casualty occurs in my own practice in advising the ship owner clients I would say that you don't go back and try to change uh entries in the logbook that have already been made takes his shocking account to the press and details what happened on board Mount Temple as the Titanic sank Dr chrisrow told the Toronto starrer that the mount Temple had been in sight of the Titanic had turned to her Aid had reached the ice field and had seen the Titanic the Hall of the ship herself and he said the captain had lost his nerve had failed to enter the ice field the journalists were astounded at this story and naturally they sent to Saint John offering comment to Captain myrrh who was there and he cabled back a furious denunciation foreign on the same day in two countries Dr quicksrow's statement in Toronto would be substantiated first at the U.S inquiry by Titanic officer boxhall and in Canada as the mount Temple Cruise claims emerged two of them particularly damning one of them was a ship's cook who said that the mount Temple could see the Hall of the Titanic and could hear the noises the lowering of lifeboats the cries of passengers he said could even see lifeboats in the water meanwhile there was an officer Arthur Henley notley who left the mount Temple as well as soon as she made landfall third officer Arthur notley of the mount Temple was so incensed it went on on that ship that he refused to serve in it any longer as the U.S inquiry pushes forward Senator Smith Never pauses to consider the reports from the mount Temple passengers and crew his Focus remains on the Californian and he calls on her captain and crew to testify about what they saw and heard that night the Californian men testified that they saw Rockets towards the southeast the SOS position from The Californians computed position was to the Southwest by accepting that the Titanic's reported position was correct the unwitting admission bylawed of seeing Rockets becomes the foundation of the case for putting the blame and shame on Captain Lord when he was called to the inquiry I'd only had any significant knowledge that he was going to be grilled or scapegoated as he was he was already being vilified in the press as being Master of the mystery ship which was taken to be the California the news traveled and prior to the commencement of the British inquiry it is clear Senator Smith determined that if Lord had come to the rescue of the Titanic 1500 lives would not have been lost the British inquiry followed on from the American inquiry you know why reinvent the wheel they just took whatever they'd found and used it in their own inquiry the British hearings follow suit discounting and ignoring the mount Temple's possible role while targeting The Californians Captain Lord had she done so she might have saved many if not all of the lives that were lost if The Californians saw Rockets far off to the southeast the Titanic could not have been where it said it was both details cannot be true the actual positions of the Titanic and a Californian weren't known precisely the Titanic's positioned with an estimated position and The Californians had been stopped so she had time to take STAR sites and get her an accurate position the American investigation disregarded The Californians reported position choosing to believe it saw the Rockets to the South West a location Titanic never reached neither ship went through the ice field to the West this decision allows those in charge of the hearings to conclude the mystery ship that abandoned the Titanic could only have been the Californian you can add it to the bucket of whitewasher was pulled over the whole inquiry the Titanic's position was proved after they found the wreck to be Mars out so it was the British inquiry that had it wrong not the Californian officers observing and there were other details witnessed from the deck of the Titanic that should have ruled out the Californian as the mystery ship over 70 years before the discovery of the Titanic's wreck fourth officer boxer saw Marset lights two of which were close together to the trained Maritime eye of boxhall the mystery ship's most visible characteristic were those two front masts this singular description of the ship lay dormant until an obscure note in the world war one files of the German National Archives the bundesachiev collaborates boxhall's statement we have two Mariners separated by less than five years in the distance of time seeing a ship and describe the most noticeable feature about her as being the fact that the masks appear to be very close together on December 16 1916 during World War One a German Navy Merchant Raider cited the mount temple in the Atlantic it is this fateful chance encounter in history that will expose the mystery ship when she saw the mount Temple approaching that December of 1916 her course was described in what's known as the Creek's tiger book the German war diary the war diary of the SMS murder the German Raider that sank the mount Temple the war diary was submitted here to the Imperial Navy office in Berlin and up here we have the words Gans goheim very secret or top secret and in here is mention of the mount Temple and as as she's being watched the mount Temple through field glasses the captain notes and it's here that she had masks that were very close together exactly the same phrase used by boxhall Gans ticked by nalanda the same phrase The Masks close together the mount Temple seen Alone by boxhall from the Titanic and seen alone when attacked by the German Raider confirms the singularly distinctive image recorded by the bridges of both ships it's another piece of circumstantial evidence supporting that the mystery ship was the mount Temple and on September 1st 1985 the wreck of the Titanic is found at her true final position vindicating Captain Lord foreign the ship you know the the wreck of the ship Lord's calculations his navigation all all matched and they eventually realized that at Titanic the signals were wrong that his navigational skills were spot on and and he was where he said he was it was in the 1992 miab report where they again re-examined it with the uh finding the Titanic was not where people had originally believed it had been and therefore uh to the suggestion that the Californian was not this mystery ship that the passengers on board the Titanic saw uh when they were uh when the ship was sinking the arrogance documented by two inquiries that the captain of the Titanic could not have been wrong falsely maligned a superior Captain for a lifetime this really is Captain Lord signed sealed and delivered a sacrificial victim scapegoat Captain Lord bore his sort of cross with with dignity you know all his life the responsibility for the Titanic disaster was the officers of the Titanic they were ones running the ship at that time I don't think we can lay the blame on any other ship captain Lord was one of the great scapegoats in in Maritime history two captains captains Lord and Moore one now finally Vindicated and one finally understood to be guilty but of what simply being the mystery ship Moore's decision that he could not safely render Aid to the Titanic does not make him responsible for those who died that night Captain Smith who received no blame from the British inquiry and had a statue erected in his honor was and is ultimately responsible for the loss of the Titanic and the 1500 deaths the 1500 people that lost their lives in the Titanic did not lose their lives entirely in vain the legacy of what's happened from the Titanic is the reforms that happened in terms of safety of Life at Sea so probably tens of thousands of more have been saved over the 108 years since it happened because other reforms that were made to maritime law as a result of it in your life [Music]
