I was watching a video on the Titanic and at the end of the video is played a portion of this song that I think was part of the orchestra's songbook. Any help would be appreciated to find this piece, it sounds very cheery.

Interesting, I wonder if it is an arrangement of an English or Scottish popular song from the 1910s?

I don't know the exact tune but this is exactly the kind of music "The London Salon Ensemble" play - very similar instrumental line-up too.  The only thing I'd say is that the London Salon Ensemble are a LOT more polished than the folk on this recording so its not one of their recordings but it might be that if its a "pops" tune from that period they play as well.  You can find quite a few of their albums on Spotify.  If you enjoyed the recording you posted there is a lot more in very similar vein.....

I dug into it a little more after posting this, but it appears the music was composed by an artist who works for the channel I saw this video on. I've tried reaching out to him, but it's been 3 days and I've gotten nothing unfortunately.

Listening to it, I did wonder if it was a "sampled" recording.  The smeary violin sound is just too crude (surely!) to be a live player.  If its something created as a background/soundtrack you can get away with that sort of sampling much more........
