Upcoming Animated 112 Years Later​

Titanic's Southampton Departure​

Full description:
"112 years ago today, the RMS Titanic departed Southampton, England to begin her maiden - and only voyage. This iconic moment has been recreated time and time again in films, TV shows, musicals, paintings, video games, and elsewhere. In memory of those aboard and those yet to board in Cherbourg and Queenstown, we submit this animation to join the collection.

To borrow words from one of the great departure recreations: 'Farewell, farewell. Godspeed, Titanic.'

Be sure to join us this Sunday for our 112th Anniversary Livestream featuring our first ever Real-Time Sinking LIVE EVENT only on YouTube (@TitanicHG) starting at 9pm ET."

Here’s the new version of the real time sinking and historian commentary.

At the 4:31:00 mark, we get a nauseating animation of the bridge dipping down and rocking back and forth. You can really visualize those interesting testimonials of a rising deck. Additionally, we see a complete extinguishment of the lights during the break (apart from the oil lamp on the mast), and the sagging of the stern looks very realistic as it breaks from the bow. The broken ends are more jagged and realistic, and the fact that Jack Gibson is only 18 years old makes this even more impressive in my eyes.

What are your thoughts and opinions?

The graphics and animation are impressive. Who is the historian that is doing the comments? Just curious.

I believe it was James Penca.

I believe it was James Penca.

Ok Thanks. I'm not familiar with him. Was just wondering.

A today's post on TitanicHG that was posted 2 hours ago.

A Night to Remember...​

​

"Thank you to all those who attended our anniversary stream!

Aside from the unfortunate absence of our friend (and your friend) Mike Brady, everything else went very well - a rarity for these occasions. Which is great, considering the complexity of this year's event.

Thank you as well to our friends at RMS Titanic, Inc. who have been excellent partners in this project and gracious hosts for our team in Orlando. We couldn't have done this event in this way without them!

We had a good pre-sinking stream with Kyle Hudak, Jack Gibson, Liam Sharpe, and David Nonini, followed by the animation itself accompanied by commentary from James Penca and Matt DeWinkeleer with excellent guests Rory Golden and David Gallo, plus a packed audience in Orlando. Around 7,550 of you joined us online at the peak. Afterward, we had a post-sinking stream with Kyle and the others.

We discussed much, from the history of our animations to the nuances and interesting points of the sinking, and some great stories from our guests Rory and David. We also had a ton of great comments flowing in from people all over the place, and we apologize that we couldn't spend time answering everybody's questions.

Of course, if you missed it, the stream is available to watch here at your convenience:

The full sinking animation - without commentary, full sound, 8k - will be available on our YouTube channel VERY soon (probably by the time most of you read this).

We thank all of you for your kindness and support, and for sticking with us though the stream this year and years past. We hope you take something valuable from what you've heard and seen tonight, be it stories, lessons, or something else.

We also hope you all take time as you go to sleep tonight (or wake up in the morning) to think of the 1,496 people who were lost on that cold, dark April night, and of those who made it to safety but were scarred nonetheless.

There are so many individual stories to tell about Titanic - Titanic's overall story is a giant tapestry with thousands of threads that can never all be covered at once, and we're glad you all gave us a bit of your time tonight (and this month) to let us tell that story in our own little way to the best of our ability.

And while the sinking is over, there's still more on the schedule for A Month to Remember, so keep a look-out for that.

Thank you and goodnight!"

Did we end up proving the Mainmast had an oil lamp? I had usually heard she didn't carry oil lamps, but if she did, it's a better way to reconcile the majority seeing the lights go out and a few saying they didn't than the Emergency lights hypothesis that had been persisting for a few years.
