TITANIC SINKS IN REAL TIME: 2025 HISTORIANS EDITION!!! (With Immersive Audio)

One of our biggest requests in 2025 was an updated "Historian Edition" of our HFX Studios real-time sinking animation, and now we are bringing the experience home to you all just before year's end.

This video contains a slightly updated version of the 2025 anniversary sinking video that was used as a silent backdrop to our April 14-15 livestream on ‪@PartTimeExplorer‬ with our host, Tom Lynskey. That video contained tremendously-improved visuals from our original 2021 real-time sinking animation and the "Historian Edition" we released later that same year.

This video contains an immersive and realistic soundtrack that is intended to bring the events of that night to life. It is mixed especially for use with home theater systems, but it will also sound terrific with a good set of headphones or high-quality earbuds.

COPYRIGHT NOTICE:
THE PERIOD MUSIC CONTAINED IN THIS VIDEO IS (C) 2024-2025 BY HFX STUDIOS, and is performed by THE WHITE STAR LINE QUINTET.

The immersive soundtrack contains not just music and sound effects, but also contains realistic recordings of certain wireless transmissions sent and received during the disaster. It is not intended to be a complete narrative of all wireless transmissions, but we made sure to keep transmissions that were either referred to in the information slides, or were especially important. The sound of other ships broadcasting to Titanic is an accurate "spark" sound; Titanic's transmissions are accurately portrayed as having a "musical tone" -- Titanic's wireless set was very rare among merchant vessels of the time in that it had this tone, rather than sounding like a ragged spark.

HISTORICAL NOTE: This video accurately shows Boat No. 8 lowering away before Boat No 6, contrary to some recent claims online that have very little evidentiary merit.

Error notice: At 1:05:49, the info card reads Harold Bride, but it should read Harold Cottam.

To all of our Patrons who continue to support us here at The Steam & Splendor Network: Thank you all for your support as we work to keep Titanic's history grounded in the evidence, in facts, and as we work hard to make those facts available to the public around the world to enjoy and learn from.
