Mike Brady, you're incredible. I watch your channel all the time and your demeanor is something worth admiration. You're not cynical like a lot of TH-camrs and you keep a positive attitude even dealing with hard subjects. Keep being rad my guy!
Fun fact. I actually live about 15 minutes away from a Lusitania prop. Is says LH which I assume means port side prop. Weird that it would be in Texas of all places but I’m not complaining. I got to touch a part of Lusitania.
I had no idea the Lusitania’s propeller was in Dallas till I read your comment . I’ll have to go visit it sometime . I own a postcard of the Lusitania , sent out from the Lusitania from 1911. On the backside of the card, the passenger, agrees to an 8:30 train at Penn station . She simply signs it “ Love, Molly .”
LH means counter clockwise rotation, typically followed be the diameter of the wheel, then the pitch of the blades, describing how much forward travel, per one complete rotation. So this screw from Lusitania, must've been one which was switched-out at the yard prior to obviously her fateful final passage and U-boat encounter?
Great content Mike, the Great Ocean Road was my job for 10 years plus, as I was a tour guide on Day Tours along the journey. Telling my passengers all the stories of shipwrecks along the coast.
Mike your videos are light years ahead of “bottom feeding” hum drum videos. Absolutely binge worthy material no matter what the subject I cannot get enough. Several are worth watching over and over. Totally a class act. ❤️👍
This is quite amazing, not related in any way to marine history, but at my family's country home I found a lot of forged iron parts, nails, rivets, part of a door hinge, even a squareish screw nut, and stuff from different eras too, the forged iron bits were mostly from 18th and 19th century, but I also found bits of gray masonry, jewellery and a part of a candelabrum, as well as coins, pistol ammunition cases and shell fragments,
Fascinating stuff Mike. Just shows what there is to see on the beach for those with the eyes to sea. Re sailing times from England - my great great grandmother came out in 1857 on a sip that took 90 days. Later in the century clipper ships could do it in about 60 days.
And when you factor in the heavy gowns women were obliged to wear, they would have had minimal hope of swimming to the shore, even if they could swim. Even if the weather was not ferocious enough to drown even the strongest swimmers. Your channel is totally amazing. I am so glad to have discovered it. Thank you for the video!
Great video. Your enthusiasm is captivating. Have you done a video of the wreck of the Speke on Phillip Island? There’s still quite a large part of the bow and sections of hull plating that are accessible at low tide…or at least that was the case 2 years ago when I last visited.
Love the edits and style of your videos, please keep er goin! Lots of potential! You would really love travelling aound the atlantic coast, perhaps with a chonky metal detector
Years ago, (1962) my family moved to Australia from the UK to Perth, unfortunately my mother couldn't take the heat so we all moved back, my brother was born in the Perth. Sailed on the Stratheden on the way-out and the Fairsky on the way back.
11 vids into binge-watching your channel and I'm hooked!! I've always been a lover of history, aviation, and especially ships and you got 2 of the 3 boxes checked My good Sir! SUBBED! :)
there is a realy interesting wreck called Halloween owned by Whitehat Willis who owned Cutty Sark I wondered weather if you built acoffer damm around the out line of the wreck the removed the sand you could lift her out of her grave.That one would be worth doing and placing alongside CS in Grenage .I thaught you were American ttfn&ty
“The sea’s coming to get me!” 😂Assistant needs to learn the “never turn your back on the ocean” rule. She’ll get you when you’re not looking. Also, Assistant deserves a pay raise.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and there are plenty of shipwrecks in the area, some of which could still be seen today. In fact the Golden Gate was notorious for ships back then because of it's foggy weather, strong currents, unpredictable reefs. And there's even one 'shipwreck' near Fremont CA where I live that was a WW1 era destroyer, USS Thompson DD-305. The navy used it as target practice, and could still see it today.
Just found this video but loved seeing you explore in real life!!!!! I wish you could go to all kinds of shipwrecks and investigate that would be so fun to watch. Also as usual still have a giant crush on you!! keep up the good work.
You are so incredibly lucky to still have undisturbed coasts like this. In America, every inch has literally been covered with houses and hotels and condominiums except for a few national seashore preserves. In my youth there were still long natural stretches with dunes and tidal pools, but the bulldozers and developers have destroyed all of that.
Absolutely love all your Ship illustrations! You capture the grandure, the elegance and the sheer power those ocean liners once had very well, Great Job!!! And as of your recent video awesome findings!! I liked the music you choose, Would definitely love if you start famous Shipwreck History/Tour video series !
Guess next time I’m by the sea imma watch out for such pieces (I’m not Australian and don’t live by the sea but a man can dream). I would never have realized what some of these are, this taught me a lot.
Omfg this is a hop skip and jump from my grandfolks place. I used to play there or near by when I was a kid and I never knew. Now the name of the place makes total sense.
Just remember, when you pick up a shitty old nail or ornament from a wooden box for trinkets: "It's worthless. Ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless... like the Ark. Men will kill for it. Men like you and me." Belloq from Indiana Jones. It's not the obvious value of an object, but the history attached to it that makes it precious.
Twas not a good time to be a ship in the Bass Straight Triangle! Tassie's northern coastline is much the same - especially King Island and Flinders Island, which are absolutely littered with wrecks!
If you like to identify the wreck, look up wrecksite, make an account and look up the part of the coast you were, almost all ships wrecked are on there
Hey, archaeologist here and as someone who's done maritime archaeology, please put everything back where you found it! Donating to the museums is not helpful to the scientific record and in most cases its illegal for the museum to accept stolen artifacts from government/public land. Contact the museum and they should be able to call for a real archaeologist to systematically describe the site and log it with other known sites. Archaeology isn't just digging around, its grids and measurements and cataloging exact locations of all items. This site is very disturbed so I don't think some exploration is bad, but everything needs to stay where it was for us to reconstruct the site as it was before anything was removed. Context is everything.
The metal rigging would help to identify the time period the vessel was wrecked, would it not? A construction or retrofit date of possibly late 19th Century, 1870s or 1880s? If you can, get a sample of any wood that looks foreign or bluestone and try to get it identified by region, from an arborist or geologist. That's how Clive Cussler and his team identified the wreck of Mary Celeste in Haiti.
Before the steam engine became common, sailing ships were truly at the mercy of wind and wave. Wrecks were common. Being caught offshore in a storm with the wind blowing onto the land was often a death knell for sailing ships.
@@OceanlinerDesigns my friend goes to Australia a lot I’ll send him to see it and take photos for me back in America if he’s going this year (he’s been twice so maybe maybe not I’m not sure)
No one needs to know this, but...today is my birthday! I wanna see how many bday wishes I can get :) Also, amazing vid! I never expected so many parts of a shipwreck to just be lying there.
Not just voluntary immigrants - I suspect some of the people who died in shipwrecks may have been convicts, punished by transportation. Most of those were petty criminals or political prisoners (e.g. trade unionists). I feel that transportation alone was excessive punishment, but a horrible death by drowning or exposure is so far beyond warranted for these poor people.
Your enthusiasm is palpable. Hope you get more subscribers because TH-cam needs more people like you.
Thanks Jo!

I am really enjoying this channel
@@OceanlinerDesignshello
Fun fact. I actually live about 15 minutes away from a Lusitania prop. Is says LH which I assume means port side prop. Weird that it would be in Texas of all places but I’m not complaining. I got to touch a part of Lusitania.

@@loyaltarbet They were switched out constantly. I don’t know the last time they were replaced.
One of Lusitanias props was used to cast golf clubs as an anniversary celebration…
@@anthonyhebisenI’m extremely late on this but I have to ask, how did you come across it? That’s a legit piece of history that I’d be jealous to own.
Great content Mike, the Great Ocean Road was my job for 10 years plus, as I was a tour guide on Day Tours along the journey. Telling my passengers all the stories of shipwrecks along the coast.
The copper sheathing was to protect the wood from shipworm. Great channel!

I really enjoy your usual content, but this was a special treat. Thank you for sharing this with us. Your assistant seems like a keeper 😆
One time I went to the Les îles de la Madeleine in Quebec and there was a beach with 6 shipwrecks and one of them was a clipper. It was. So cool.
What a handsome ship lover 🥺

Oh wow this was so cool! I just found your channel this week and its wonderful. I do hope you consider making more of these adventure videos 😊
Really, really love this one. The sort of info applies to all coastlines with wrecks. Excellent. Thank you.

Feel you man on that. I went to Long Beach backpacking and I insisted to everyone that we booked a room on the Queen Mary. We did as well
Great video. Your enthusiasm is captivating. Have you done a video of the wreck of the Speke on Phillip Island? There’s still quite a large part of the bow and sections of hull plating that are accessible at low tide…or at least that was the case 2 years ago when I last visited.
Great idea! Would love to visit the Speke since there is much more tangible evidence of the ship than this poor mystery vessel!

“The sea is coming to get me!” Kinda sums up your whole channel.

I would love to see you explore the SS Maheno, also in Australia.
Wow! That was amazing! What fun that would be! Great video!
Great adventure Mike! Did you give those pieces you found to a museum? Would be interested to see if they could date them. Cheers
I'm curious. Are you planning on going to the wrecks of the Maheno, Sygna, and whatever is left of the Cherry Venture? Maybe other visible wrecks?
Great ideas!
~Mike

Your talk about the sailing conditions brought to mind _"In 1803, we sailed out to sea/Out from the sweet town of Derry..."_

Love your channel!
May it be the København?😏😏😏
Wow.. This Is Cool
There is a mahogany Portuguese ship from around the 1500s somewhere in Warrnambool. :)
Great video😊
If you like to identify the wreck, look up wrecksite, make an account and look up the part of the coast you were, almost all ships wrecked are on there
What liner is your profile picture
It looks like queen elizabeth if she had the same bow of queen mary
You're right. It is a bit of an easter-egg; QM and QE smooshed together. :)
~Mike
The Bow of that ship in the storm was the Aquitania
Can we have another video on this? It’s so entertaining.

Poor Guy was born 120 years to late
The holes in the rock at 12:25 are creeping me out
It looks very disturbing
That's coral
Looks like limestone, which is common along that coastline... possibly an ancient coral as it was all underwater millions of years ago.

12:30 What is it that he lays the find on, is it some kind of stone?
It looks like limestone, possibly an ancient fossil coral as much of that coastline was underwater millions of years ago.
10:10 im pretty sure that bug is a maritime earwig
You live in Victoria I do too
Maybe the ship caught fire and it got bad to they beached the ship to escape, hello from Queensland
Omg
intresting
