And even now,
:39:02
after 90 years of laying
on the bottom of the ocean,

:39:05
its beauty came to light.
:39:15
Okay.
We're in.

:39:16
Okay. Tell them
we're in the promenade.

:39:19
Jake's in the promenade.
:39:21
We did get into one
of the millionaire suites

:39:23
on "B" deck.
:39:25
Private promenade.
:39:26
They call them
"private promenade. "

:39:28
These were the fanciest, most
expensive lodgings on the ship.

:39:31
And in April 1912,
:39:33
you would have paid over $3, 000
to book your passage.

:39:37
This must be some of the facing.
:39:40
Yeah, it's some
of the Tudor facing.

:39:49
We are in the room.
:39:51
Jake's in the room.
:39:52
This is Bruce Ismay's suite.
:39:54
This is the guy
that left the ship

:39:56
with 1, 500 people still onboard.
:39:59
Ooh, that's a beauty.
:40:01
We are in the sitting room,
looking at the fireplace.

:40:04
Isn't that amazing? That
ribbon design is still there.

:40:07
These little touches
of elegance.

:40:10
You can almost feel the hands
of the guy that made that.

:40:18
J. Bruce Ismay
:40:19
was managing director
of the White Star Line,

:40:22
and he vetoed the idea
of having 48 lifeboats.

:40:25
He felt fewer would be fine,
:40:26
that as long as they met
the law, they were okay.

:40:35
It is Smith's bathtub.
:40:36
Oh, Captain Smith.
:40:38
Wow.
:40:39
The captain of the "Titanic"
:40:41
used to take his baths
right there.

:40:44
His little pink butt
sitting right there in the tub.

:40:48
Captain Smith was called
"the millionaire's captain"

:40:50
because he was so popular
with the first-class passengers.

:40:54
30 years at sea.
Perfect record.

:40:57
This voyage was to be
his crowning achievement.

:40:59
He was going to take
the biggest, most beautiful ship
