This extraordinary colorized footage unveils the RMS Titanic’s story, from rare 1912 Harland & Wolff shipyard scenes—shot around February 15, debunking Olympic mix-ups—to its tragic aftermath. Witness the ship’s construction, its promenade deck still open, and its journey from Belfast to Southampton, with stops in Cherbourg, before the infamous iceberg collision. The film shifts to the Carpathia’s heroic rescue, captain Rostron, and survivor scenes in New York, alongside paperboys scrambling with headlines and Marconi, whose radio invention saved lives. Ending with the Mackay Bennett’s grim recovery mission, this is a vivid must-see for Titanic buffs and history lovers.
