Video Tapes

‘A Night To Remember’
This is the most accurate of the videos, made in 1958 and well worth watching.

‘Raise the TITANIC’
This film was made in 1980 and based on a Clive Cussler novel of the same name. It is pure fiction and of no use or relevance to serious TITANIC buffs.

‘SOS TITANIC’
Made in 1979 this documentary/drama with the emphasis more on fiction is worth looking at for its portrayal of the opulent interior of the ship.

‘TITANIC’
A 1953 Hollywood version of the disaster - of doubtful authenticity and value.

‘Secrets of the Titanic’
A National geographic video that encapsulates the building, launching, sinking and subsequent discovery of the wreck by Dr Ballard. Duration 60 minutes.
