Be honest, even if you were to go back in time you couldnt afford a first class ticket and wouldnt have survived the sinking

>>211696400 (OP)
if i went back in time i probably wouldn't go on the titanic

>>211696400 (OP)
If I could go back in time why would I want to board the Titanic? As far as luxury liners go it's nothing noteworthy outside it's doomed fate.

>>211696553
The Olympic and Britanic were better

>>211696640
Didn't they both sink?

>>211696664
the olympic sailed until the 30s and was scrapped for being too slow and ugly compared to the new 30s art deco ships

>>211696400 (OP)
Id be at the bar with the baker getting black out druk and found floating smiling wearing 8 layers of clothes 4 hours later.

>>211696400 (OP)
I'd have snuck my way on like the puckish ragamuffin I am and subsequently been thrown overboard when caught as a stowaway because it was 1912 and nobody would've blinked twice at doing that rather than reportion the meal plan.

>>211696400 (OP)
I would go on the Carpathia and sink it so it couldn't rescue the Titanic survivors.

>>211696400 (OP)
Th tragedy of the suffering passengers of history has fallen by the wayside due to the overwhelming trauma due to this horrid film's profits and its lofty place on the all-time money list. I actually hate this movie more as time goes on.

>>211696400 (OP)
I'll be honest. I'd be shot by one of the officers for trying to force my way onto a lifeboat. If I have to throw 10 women and/or children off the lifeboat into the Atlantic in order to get a seat I'm fucking doing it.

>>211697310
whats wrong with it? it was made at the right sweet spot of practical and CGI effects. if it had been made a few years later it wouldnt been CGIslop like pearl harbor

>>211696553
The Titanic is a beautiful ship compared to whatever human carrier is pictured above. Gross!

I have thousands of ounces of silver, which had a much higher purchasing power prior to the creation of the Federal Reserve system.

A first-class ticket on the Titanic in 1912 ranged from $150 to $4,350, depending on the specific cabin and amenities. In today's money, this would be roughly equivalent to $3,000 to $100,000. The most expensive suites, like the parlor suites, could cost up to $4,350 in 1912, which is about $100,000 today

>>211696553
i would take a White Star liner over that boomer apartment building lying on its side any day of the week, month of the year, or year of the century.

>>211700420
how did they sink?

>>211697462
It's shit. The only redeeming feature of the film is the ship.

>>211700482
They hit a poop iceberg

>>211696903
nigga how you get cast as a mermaid if you can't swim

>>211700420
Is that boat stacked with bricks?

>>211696400 (OP)
If I could go back in time, I'd just stop the sinking.

>>211696400 (OP)
The sinking is easily avoided if they had just listened to the warnings over the wireless and diverted from the ice field or slowed the ship down

>>211701489
Looks like clay.

If you could go back in time with all your knowledge of the fate of the Titanic and you could get a hold of a ticket for the voyage, would you take the opportunity?

>>211696553
What were the 2 masts for?

>Bet $1000 dollars that "unsinkable ship" won't come to port on her maiden voyage.
>Collect winnings and invest with Rockefeller.
>Donate money to art school so they let Hitler in.

There was a coal strike at the time and it caused people in all classes to not only miss the ship but also get landed on it

>MS Estonia, a cruiseferry built in 1980, sank on Wednesday, 28 September 1994, between about 00:50 and 01:50 (UTC+2) as the ship was crossing the Baltic Sea, en route from Tallinn, Estonia, to Stockholm, Sweden. The sinking was one of the worst maritime disasters of the 20th century.[1][2] It is one of the deadliest peacetime sinkings of a European ship, after the Titanic in 1912 and the Empress of Ireland in 1914, and the deadliest peacetime shipwreck to have occurred in European waters, with 852 (out of 989) lives lost.[3]

852 people fucking drowned what the fuck. Some say Russians sank it because arms dealers were smuggling nuclear weapons out of Russia with it.

>>211696400 (OP)
I can swim pretty good and do cold plunges regularly, I'll be fine
Im scared that I wouldn't want to come out of the water because i'd be enjoying myself too much, desu

>>211696400 (OP)
The most expensive cabins were the equivalent of £100k now. Funny enough the cheapest tickets where the equivalent thousands of pounds too so I couldn’t afford to be locked in steerage actually HAHAHA I live in Belfast so I might have to work on her at least but my family at the time were Actuaries and Bank clerks so probably not. I am a min wage factory wagey with nothing to my name despite working 40+ hours a week HAHAHA nobody poor was on Titanic its just been hijacked by socialists as a class struggle story over the years. Even steerage was really very comfortable for the time and frankly now. Nice boat.

>>211704139
Is it weird that if I was from the far future and had access to some kind of time travelling cloaked aerial vehicle I'd like to go back and watch the Titanic sink? Like hover like 100 feet away and fifty feet up and just watch it sink over the course of those 2 hours? Does that make me a horrible person?

>>211696553
A cruise ship is another thing entirely from an ocean liner. I’m not even sure a cruise ship is even capable of making a transoceanic voyage.

I'm a bit of a history nerd so I'd make a lot of money in the stock market.

>>211704457
Why hasn't there been any shows or movies made about this? I read a long descriptive article about it once and it was horrifying how quickly people got trapped

>>211696400 (OP)
Even if I did and could why would I want to? What next? Telling me I wouldn't visit the WTC on 9/11 2001 if I had a time machine? Of course I fucking wouldn't.
Who is in charge of making these threads? How do I email the moderation staff?

>>211705245
Hi fellow Belfaster! It's odd to watch the movie and think there's people in this town who love this movie but will walk past this guys house and not even know it. (it's in Windsor Avenue)

>>211706071
The Titantic did it first so it wasn't interesting anymore.

>>211706071
> Why hasn't there been any shows or movies made about this?
There have been quite a few.

It's a spectacle to be watched for sure. That's sort of why I asked the question. You have the opportunity to go back in time, guarantee a boarding ticket, experience the ship and the voyage and the sinking of it. Your chances of survival is all up to you. Oh and the ticket you get is a 3rd class one. Just so you can't say "easy I'll just immediately board the life boats when they first start boarding them before everyone realizes the ship's going down". You only got your own smarts, luck and foresight of the ship's fate. Do you have it in you to witness and survive the Titanic experience ?

>>211706553
Ok lets play this out. I make a point of deciding that if I survive I will do as many interviews with as many newspapers as I can going into as much detail of how I survived the sinking as possible. Before I go back in time I look at archives and see if I can find interviews with myself. If I can find interviews with myself then yes I'd go back because I know I survive and I know how I survive. I'll also take back knowledge of things to invest in that will make me rich because even survivors of the sinking had trauma. Being rich will take the edge off that trauma.

>>211704214
For masting things.

>>211707490
Nope, not how it works. The hypothetical scenario is purely based on the fact that you get a chance to experience Titanic and your only advantage is your fore knowledge of the sinking. No weird Back to the Future time travel shenanigans.

>>211696400 (OP)
Third class women were more likely to survive than first class men. You didn’t need to be rich. You needed to be a woman (luckily that works out well for me).

>>211700482
the small boat was loaded down as much as possible
when it bumped into the bigger boat a little bit of water got inside, pulling it down just enough to flood everything

>>211708033
Look I'm gonna Doc Emmet Brown in the wild west sending a letter to Marty in the future the shit of of this and you can't stop me! Jokes aside, playing by your rules the answer is no as statistically the chances of me surviving are so low I'd essentially be committing suicide in one of the worst ways.

>>211696400 (OP)
I'd murder J P Morgan and all the people who tried to create a federal reserve. Then I'd be fine. Like everyone else onboard on the ship.

>>211696400 (OP)
Dubs checked.

The Titanic has sunk so often, it's gotten waterlogged.

>>211696400 (OP)
Why would I go back to 1912? Aside from the Titanic sinking, it was a pretty boring time time period, literally nothing going on.
Better to just add a few digits to the time machine and go back to see WWI.

>>211704457
>852 people fucking drowned what the fuck. Some say Russians sank it because arms dealers were smuggling nuclear weapons out of Russia with it.
If true, somewhat justified.

>>211696493
what did he mean by this?

Guess you're not a passionate enough Titanic enthusiast then.
