00:00 Today I take you to the impressive exhibition on the Titanic at the port of Versailles
00:05 and we will discover together the objects that were on board the ship in 1912.
00:10 These objects were reassembled on the surface by Paul-Henri Narjoli and his team.
00:14 We start this visit with this hand light installed above the Nidpiit of the Mademoiselle.
00:20 It projected a visible light beam several kilometers away
00:24 allowing to warn the ships of the approach of the Titanic.
00:27 We then find this logometer used by the officers of the port
00:31 to calculate the speed of the ship and the distance traveled during the trip.
00:35 During this visit we can also find the most beautiful jewelry worn by first class women
00:40 or the telegraph of William Murdoch, first officer on board the Titanic.
00:45 It is through this telegraph that his last message "Atribortut, on rear tut"
00:49 was relayed to the machine room by locating the iceberg.
00:52 But among the hundreds of objects exhibited here, there is one that could have changed the fate of the Titanic.
00:58 These are its binoculars.
00:59 So the story tells that the Titanic's watchman Frederick Fleet
01:02 watched the black horizon with the naked eye
01:05 and that the binoculars he had to use had been lost during the trip.
01:09 We wanted to tell the story of the binoculars
01:13 because one of the controversial elements is that they did not have binoculars to see the iceberg up close.
01:18 However, the binoculars that are exhibited here belong to a passenger.
01:22 If you want to see these objects up close,
01:26 you have until September 10 to visit this exhibition.
