Dang. There are a lot of documentarys partly uploaded on YouTube, so you might be able to find them there. These documentarys were from 2006, so they're bound to be somewhere on YouTube.

Yeah, after the death of the last survivor they left the decendents to tell the story. This is how they're going to keep the survivor's stories going, passing them on from generation to generation. That would be amazing to find out that someone you were related to was on the Titanic. Since I'm in a similiar situation with my uncle, and since he died a hero, it's kind of different, a feeling of pride. Being related to some one on the Titanic, you have a feeling of knowing that they either survived or died. With my uncle, I have no feeling like he's alive. But for Titanic, you know that they might've lived on and told their stories. Sorry if this didn't make any sense tongue

It does actually tongue

I mean one thing about Titanic is the people who were villenised as a result, such as Ismay and Mr's Duff gordon and her Husband (Accused of paying the officers in there boat £5 each if they never turned back)

That is true. Some people just were desperate to get home.

Most likely I would've tried to help everyone out that I could, then get onto a lifeboat. Or I'd take my chances on one of the collapsible lifeboats.

Oh, well, I didn't mean it like that. Plus, considering how an 11-year old almost wasn't allowed on a lifeboat, I doubt they'd let a 13-year old on a lifeboat

Planks of wood, that's all this bro needs.
Tie four of 'em up, I have a battleship.
Make it "Life of Pi" style.

That kind of reminds me of something from Pirates of the Carribean, how Captain Jack made a raft out of turtles.
But honestly, that would make sense to use wood.

An 11 year old?

Wow kids realy did grow up quick yikes

But that flashes me to a story of Jack (Not the stupid "perfect" Jack dawson, God I hate that twit -.- "YOU SHOULD BE FREE ROSE! FREE TO LEAVE YOUR MOTHER ALONE SO SHE CAN STARVE TO DEATH")

Wikapidia copy and Paste

Seventeen years old at the time, Jack Thayer boarded the Titanic with his parents, John Borland, Jr. and Marian Thayer, and a maid at Southampton on April 10, 1912.[1] Jack occupied cabin C-70 while his parents occupied C-68.[2]
Shortly after 11:30 p.m. on 14 April 1912, Jack noticed that he could no longer feel a breeze streaming through his half-open porthole. He did not recall feeling the ship's collision with the iceberg. He dressed and went to A deck on the port side to see what had happened. Finding nothing, he walked to the bow, where he could faintly make out ice on the forward well deck.[2]
Jack woke his parents, who accompanied him back to the port side of the ship. Noticing that the Titanic was developing a list to port, they returned to their rooms and put on warmer clothes and life vests. They returned to the deck, but Jack lost sight of his parents and after searching for them, assumed they had boarded a lifeboat.[2]
Jack soon encountered Milton Long, a fellow passenger he had met hours before over coffee. Both Milton and Jack tried to board a lifeboat but were denied because they were men. Jack then proposed to jump off the ship, as he was a good swimmer. However, Milton was not and advised Jack against it.[2]
Eventually, as the ship was sinking quickly, the two men decided to jump and attempt to swim to safety. Milton went first; it was the last time Jack ever saw him. Once in the water, Jack reached an improperly launched and overturned collapsible lifeboat. Too exhausted to save himself, he was pulled from the water.[1] He and a number of other men were able to balance on the boat for some hours. He later recalled that the cries of hundreds of people in the water reminded him of the high-pitched hum of locusts in his native Pennsylvania.[2]
After spending the night on the overturned collapsible, Jack was picked up by Lifeboat 12. He was so distraught and freezing that he did not notice his mother in nearby Lifeboat 4, nor did she notice him. Lifeboat 12 finally made its way to the rescue ship RMS Carpathia at 8:30 am[2] Jack's father did not get to a lifeboat and died.
Nearly all those who lived did so by boarding lifeboats. Jack was one of only about 40 survivors of those who jumped or fell into the water.

But Sadly this Jack died when his son Edward was killed, He bacame depressed committed suicide. He was found in an automobile at 48th and Parkside Ave., his throat and wrists cut.

Oh yeah, I've read about Jack Thayer before. I've been thinking of going and laying a flower or something at the site where he killed himself. I mean, he lost his son in the war..

For me, it's only an hour's drive to Philadelphia. Plus, I'm pretty sure you'll get to America.

I once thought I'd never get to Shanksville. But I was able to do it, and when you get to America, you should start at New York, and go to the piers near Central Park to see where the Titanic was supposed to dock.
