"Highly Recommended. Of particular interest are the interviews featuring two surviving crewmen. Although these are audio interviews only, one crewman gives a particularly vivid picture of the sinking of the RMS Titanic and his astonishing survival." -EMRO Review
Found in a garden shed in England where it had been lying for nearly 90 years, this program contains the only movie film footage from 1912 ever taken of the RMS Titanic, and the only footage of the aftermath of the tragedy. Shots include the ship at Belfast before leaving to start the fateful maiden voyage; the ice flows where she hit the berg; the rescue ship, RMS Carpathia, returning with survivors; women from New York bringing clothing to the docks to comfort survivors; a 1937 radio interview with Charles Herbert Lightoller, the most senior officer to survive; plus, interviews with the 90-year-old woman who discovered the film, as well as conversations with two actual survivors. Produced by Kingfisher Productions. 07DR IJSCA 30 min.
