Short Summary

Copy of a 1970 television documentary made about the 1912 Titanic disaster.
Description

Interviews with survivors of the Titanic disaster accompany drawings, paintings and photographs of the ship.

There is a short sequence at the beginning of this documentary of archive footage suggested to be of the Titanic. The very first shot and possibly the second shot are of the Titanic. The other shots feature other ships. For the best genuine footage of the Titanic see tape PM3468 - film ID 3468.07.

The interviews with survivors are very nice. One woman talks of how people played snowballs when the ship hit the iceberg and how someone had observed that the iceberg was a "whopper"! Two survivors talk about how they got off the ship. Edith Russell holds a toy pig which she had with her on the journey. Arthur Lewis who was a bedroom steward on the Titanic speaks of his time in the lifeboat.
