Titanic captain Edward Smith, and owner Bruce Ismays homes 
Part of channel(s): Yoursay (promoted)The first home is that of captain Edward Smith,who went down with the Titanic,The second is Bruce Ismays,Who owned the ship.Ismay saved himself,and jumped in a life boat.Although cleared by a board of inquiry,he never lived it down.This shows how close their homes where at one time.Notice the blue plaques on the walls of the houses,.These houses overlook the river,maybe this is why they where chosen by Edward Smith,and Ismay? Sorry for bad camera work and script, but its a steep learning curve.lol

Those were the day's. When a house was built that would last a hundred(s) of years. Nowdays, regulations bring them down.
Nice clip.

Good stuff. Smaller communities back in the day when the quality of neighborhood wasn't defined by size of house so much as what class the residents belonged to.

@john1054 From the second storey of all these homes.You can see the river mersey,and all ships entering the port of Liverpool.I would imagine it was a prime spot for a home,for anybody with shipping connections?

@john1054 The second house is probably very large inside and is considered a big home in the uk .you have to remember in those day there was no central heating .it was all done with fire places

Interesting. I like these little pieces of history in yoursay.
Btw, great driving skill there at 2:15 - the way you dodged that guy driving on the wrong side of the road. You're cool under pressure, Drivenwell2 ;-)

Smith did nothing wrong. If anything he followed protocol by trying to beat the southern flowing ice pack and sail far south then normal. Ismay was a chicken shit by not staying with his ship.

It was revealed by the Titanic’s chief designer that it had been Ismay’s decision to limit the number of lifeboats; the davits, fitted to hold 48 boats, instead carried 16 – which was still in excess of the British Board of Trade’s requirements. Why litter the deck, Ismay is said to have argued, when the ship is herself a lifeboat?
Within hours of landing in New York, Ismay was called as the first witness at the hastily convened US Senate inquiry into the tragedy. Barely able to speak â More..

@ARNOLD-R-LANE Yeh read that he said he was a passenger lol He knew the ship only had a few hours,he also knew there wasent enough lifeboats.His morals leave a lot to be desired.After the sinking he became the patron of several seafareing charities.He gave a lot of money to them.He went on to live another 25yrs,leaving 450,000 in his will,about 6 or 7 million in todays terms.

Wow , only a few hundred yards, but the house is a mansion. good vid though, amazing how close they lived to each other, I'm sure it's no coincidence .
