Who would've thought
that would still be there?

:33:02
It's the dream come true for me.
:33:08
What's significant
about the reception room

:33:10
is that this is where
Elizabeth Lines

:33:13
overheard a conversation
:33:14
between Captain Smith
and Bruce Ismay,

:33:16
the owner of the "Titanic. "
:33:18
And she heard Ismay
telling Smith

:33:20
to have the "Titanic" arrive
in New York a day early.

:33:23
I think we're going to beat
"Olympic's" time

:33:25
and arrive in New York
Tuesday night.

:33:40
We're holding
at the first-class entrance,

:33:42
starboard side.
:33:47
Isn't that beautiful?
Gosh.

:33:50
It looks like it's just been
made more beautiful by time.

:33:53
"Titanic's" main
first-class entrance

:33:56
was on "D" deck.
:33:57
And she had
two large gangway doors

:34:00
on both the port
and the starboard side.

:34:03
Through the eyes of the R. O.V.,
:34:05
we could see the wrought-iron
gates just inside the doors,

:34:09
which were unknown to historians
until this expedition.

:34:12
We had no idea what was inside,
and now we know.

:34:15
This is the way
they boarded the ship.

:34:17
They came in through that door,
and then this inner door.

:34:27
And in this entrance vestibule,
:34:29
there was a large sideboard
against the aft wall

:34:32
where lots of first-class china
was stored.

:34:34
The dish cabinet
had more or less rotted away.

:34:38
But you could see the teacups
and the little dishes

:34:40
stacked perfectly there.
:34:42
I wish I had those dishes,
you know?

:34:44
Give it up on eBay.
:34:48
There's the elevators.
:34:52
There's...
:34:53
There's the shaft.
:34:57
Look at that.
