Titanic and Her Sisters

Genuine footage of the Titanic is rare but a valuable newsreel survives in the archive featuring the great liner during her fitting, towering over the dock, as well as footage of the survivors arriving in New York on the Carpathia. Some of these survivors appear in interviews from the 1970s. Titanic was actually the second of three 'Olympic' class vessels and clips of the others appear in this collection. RMS Olympic, the first, had a long career which included service in the First World War until she was, sadly, eventually scrapped in the 1930s. The final ship was the RMS Britannic which sank in 1916 when operating as a hospital ship during the war with loss of life.
