Watch Series: Shipwrecks: Britain's Sunken History Released in (2013) - Season 1 - Episode 3 ,airing date 2013-12-16 produced by UK, The TV Series categorized in Documentary, and content rating 1h with duration 60 min broadcasted as these networks BBC Four, Streamed at Putlocker & directed by Tom Cholmondeley, Francis Welch. The terrible toll taken by shipwrecks was such that in the winter of 1820 some 20,000 seaman lost their lives in the North Sea alone. That's 20 jumbo jets. But in the final part of his series, maritime historian Sam Willis tells the stirring story of how the Victorians were finally driven into action, finding various ingenious solutions - from rockets that could fire rescue lines aboard stricken vessels to lifejackets, lifeboats and the Plimsoll Line, which outlawed overloading.
In Africa, he traces the legend of the Birkenhead Drill - the origin of 'women and children first'. Decorum even in disaster was the new Victorian way and it was conspicuously on hand to turn history's most iconic shipwreck - Titanic - into a tragic monument to British restraint.
