Although the newsreel is nearly seven minutes long and covers only the first minute presents actual footage of the Titanic. This is the only established authentic footage of the Titanic in existence. Mostly this was due to the fact that before its infamous collision with an iceberg the Titanic was not a significant news story. Although it was the largest liner of its kind in the world, it had two sister ships, the Olympic and Britannic, and it was the Olympic which took most credit (and media attention) as it was the first to be launched.
