@@OceanlinerDesigns dear Michael, greetings from the UK, I just feel moved to put on record my appreciation of the excellent series you’ve done regarding the Titanic. Your presentation style complimented by the many illustrations is absolutely superb. As a pensioner who is 80 years old, I do have an insight into times gone by, thank you so much for all you do to entertain me. I’m leaving a small gift and recognition of your excellent videos, cheers Peter.
Mike Brady is one of those guys who are on TH-cam which are nice to listen to. Not irritating, no silly accent, no histrionics. Just nice to hear him. And the content is so out of this world good. Thank you so much Mike. Love your site.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would posit that our friend Mike Brady is not only knowledgeable and intelligent, but a polished and professional orator and narrator who puts out some of the best work ever produced on any medium. We are lucky to have access to such a fellow
He's not our friend. I tried to call him to help me pack up and move to South Carolina and he wouldn't even take my calls. I was crushed. Friends don't do that to friends.
@@VladimirPutin-p3tClearly you must have the wrong number. Mike Brady does anything for a friend. After my partners waters broke and we were rushing to the hospital and the car broke down, I called Mike for help expecting him to pick us up and get us to the hospital. But Mike being Mike, rocks up and delivered the baby right there on the side of the road. He’s a stand up guy.
As an aviation geek, I was never that interested in ships and shipping...until I started watching this dude's vids. Watching these superbly made vids is always enjoyable and time well spent. Thanks as always, Mike. :)
Ship's that sail through sea or sky have always been of interest to me as well. Naval aviation covers them both, so your dual interest is not unusual. And Mike's videos cover the sea going side very well. They are excellent in every way.
You fine folk would likely enjoy Drachinifel, while waiting for Mikey to make a new one! And Mentour Pilot. His accident videos are better than ACI. Check out the latest one about the one that landed on the belly and took off again a couple of years ago in Pakistan. Not for the faint of heart. He also does incidents where they land safely and lessons are learnt that way. He's a 737-800 line training captain at one of the busiest airlines so he knows what he's talking about. Did a series on "type rating" for the 738. I followed it, technically I can now fly one :) FMC and all. It's easy, to me it was always black magic but the FMC had it's own kinda 1980s computer vibe. It's just tedious. I would curse ATC if they gave me a shortcut and I'd have to reprogram the thing mid flight but ir gave me an appreciation for how awesome airline pilots are. Total pros.
Tonight is the night 😢 I'm obsessed with Titanic, such a beautiful ship. Today's ships are so much bigger but they don't have the beauty of the Titanic. ❤
14:20 Wow, I never realized that there had been a Captain Haddock presiding on the bridge of the Titanic before she set off for her ocean journey! Is this where Hergé found the name for his famous namesake captain, the friend and ally of Tintin? 😀 (from the early 1930s and on)
Thank you, friend Mike! This is an exceptionally beautiful episode. The engrossing narrative, the astonishing graphics, vintage photos and sound are amazing ❤
And I might want to add April 10th is a day to remember (that's the day she cast off) and April 14th-15th is a night to remember (like Walter Lord's book "A Night to Remember")
Bloody brilliant, Mike!- for one who regularly thinks he is "Titaniced out", you prove the lie, time and again. Beautifully rendered and told, this telling reminds me very much of my previous life in West End theatre, and the sheer, frenzied activity of "production week", before a show opened. It has that same combination of grit and glamour.
I recently took a train to Southampton! Got to visit the Titanic Museum, see where the Titanic docked and the monument to the Titanic Engineers! Such a worthwhile trip!
Finally a accurate point on video on the Titanic's life before the fateful voyage, our friend from Oceanliner Designs always gets the job right, good to see a friend of mine; Gavin Krom be credited for his research too, well-deserved and great video as always, perfect.
I've read and watched a lot on the Titanic and this has taught so much that I didn't know. Thank you for the great video's. It is odd how the Titanic has caught the interest so much in some ways but this adds so much humanity for the crew and builders that the usual documentaries lack.
Well done. I sailed as a cruise director for many years and brought out a ship (first of its class) from France in the 1990s. This brought back the memories of that frantic and heady time. Unfinished rooms, dodgy sea trials and even a 40ft wave during our crossing. But unlike Titanic, we made it to New York. Even though I’m not a Titanic fanboy (no one who sails can be) I appreciate your work, passion and detail. Thank you Mike Brady from Ocean Liner Designs!
Charles Lightoller was truly a hero both for his work saving lives on the Titanic and for his work with his son saving British, French, and Allied soldiers during the Dunkirk evacuation. Using their private vessel they joined the 850 vessels now known as the "Little Ships of Dunkirk" and personally saved 130 soldiers during Operation Dynamo. Miraculously they were able to help save some of the 336,000 soldiers rescued from the beaches.
This is what gets to me about a tragedy of the magnitude of the loss of the Titanic and 1500 people. It's the loss of all that human potential. Imagine the contribution that great men such as Andrews, Murdoch and Smith might have otherwise gone on to achieve, had they lived. What might those 1500 have achieved if given a chance at a new life, or even an old one. Just so, so tragic and such a terrible waste.
That would be a condemnation that should be shared with a lot of others. As the British marine law was old in regards to needed ammount of lifeboats, as the white star line didn't require practice enough for evacuation, as the officers were not informed of how many could be loaded on a boat safely etc. That is why today ships officers and workers are required to practice evacuation, are informed of what to do how, are practicing also things like signalling and are actually put to sea in liferafts and boats not only in harbour but also in open sea. Back then a lot of mistakes were made, but to only put blame on the officers is faulty. They acted on the information and knowledge they had. The people and institutions responsible for that information lacked back then. Sadly, Titanics story shows an old proverb proven right, safety is acquired through blood and loss. Only after the disaster did nations start requiring adequate training for crews of passenger ships.
@mjfan653 I think what this person is referring to is the fact that Murdoch would load men into the boats when there were no women or children left, whereas lightholler didn't allow men at all. Even when the boats still had many open seats. It's also worth noting that Lightholler is a self admitted war criminal. During World War 1, while in command of HMS Garry, he rammed and sank a U-Boat. The men surfaced and surrendered. Lightholler ordered his men to fire on them. It is a war crime to fire upon men who are surrendering. He was aware of this, as once the other British ships HMS Garry was escorting caught up with him, he ordered his men to cease fire and take the survivors that remained aboard. Once you sink an enemy ship, the safety of the survivors becomes your responsibility. Lightholler proudly admitted to firing upon those men in his autobiography. While Lightholler is undoubtedly deserving of praise for his actions in the evacuation of Dunkirk, he is also deserving of condemnation for the deaths of both the men he refused to let in the boats, and the surrendering men he fired upon.
My goodness that was a FAST 42 minutes! It seems like I just tuned in and now it's over! A great presentation Mike, and true to the old show-business adage you "Left 'em wanting more!" Thanks so much for this wonderful posting on the 112th anniversary of the disaster. My "Red Duster" and White Star Line pennant are being displayed on the house tomorrow. ("Blue Dusters" are hard to find here in the US.) And as the Irish Rovers song says: "Roll on Titanic roll, you're the pride of the White Star Line! "Roll on Tiranic roll, into the mists of time!"
As can be expected with the outbreak of WW1 being only two years later, most of the surviving crew went onto serve in the war. Charles Lightoller was one of the first people to use successfully use a depthcharge to sink a U boat.
@@jasonwebb7574don't ever forget that Dunkirk was our equivalent of the French surrender. We ran away. The French didn't have that option. Like the rest of Europe, we didn't 'win the war', we were on the same side as the victors.
@@cowbanchalam9725 Perhaps you might try to explain what, when some 100 French & Belgian divisions had either capitulated or collapsed, the 13 divisions of the BEF were supposed to do? Aside, that is, from using control of the sea to evacuate 210,000 British & 110 French troops, before landing the 'Reconstituted BEF' in Cherbourg, only to be told by General Weygand that the French Army was no longer capable of 'organised resistance' of course?
Lightoller also shot a zeppelin, captained by infamous German commander Heinrich Mathy and headed for a bombing run of Britain, while serving on the HMTB 117 during WWI. While the zeppelin wasn't destroyed, it was crippled and forced to return home, thwarting the attack.
What a magnificent video. The research the narration the visuals. Second to none and such a lovely tribute to the Titanic and her passengers on this anniversary date.
I went to the Titanic artefact exhibition at Melbourne Museum a few weeks back. It was great, but the experience was really enhanced for me by having been watching this channel for a while. I felt I had a lot of background to flesh out the information given, and seeing things spoken about on this channel was pretty incredible. If anyone is in Melbourne I highly recommend this exhibition to any followers of this channel. It runs until April 21st, so there’s still time!
My wife, my son, and I were supposed to go to the Titanic Exhibit today in Pittsburgh because she knows hoe much I love Titanic and my birthday is the 18th, but she thought that she could buy the tickets yesterday and they were sold out, so I missed out, as well as my oldest son as I know that he would've loved it.
@@Brock_Landers You’re still young. I love cars too. I’m half owner of my dad’s 1953 Hudson Hornet. 🐝 it was in the movie No Sudden Move. Brendan Fraser drove it.
What am amazing video. Those animations are incredible. The story of people who build and served on Titanic are almost as fascinating as the ship herself. To think that as of today 112 years ago that incredible ship and so many people saw their last sunset. All of those lives lost and all of the amazing engineering taken to the bottom of the Atlantic.
Mike you should be so proud of the work you do on your Oceanliner Designs channel. This is another remarkable production. Thank you so much for keeping Titanic alive.
Just made a pot of tea and guess what was waiting just for me on the laptop??? Why, a NEW video from Oceanliner Designs, it's going to be a great day......
Yeah I love it when that happens. It's always a pleasant surprise to see that your favourite TH-camr has dropped a new video when you have a few quiet minutes to yourself before stepping out into the hustle and bustle of the 'real world'.
This is absolutely breathtaking, even with the 360p upload quality. I often wish I would have had access to something like this back in the early nineties when my love for Titanic grew into more of an obsession, so to speak, and all I had were a few pictures of Titanic in an old book, but I'm just as thankful that we were finally given such an incredible -- and unbeatable -- gift thanks to the THG guys and Mike Brady. We've literally been allowed the chance to step aboard the Titanic and it honestly doesn't get any better than that.
Stunning work as always Mike. I find the story of the night the Titanic sank fascinating and tragic, but it's great to see videos about the ship in her prime, "untouched by tragedy" as you say. Looking forward to the other releases you've teased for April.
titanic and the story of the liners is a drug because of you all! every time I try to detox you come up with more and more interesting videos! 😂 greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
I repeat 3 times that massively beautiful hot restaurant and interiors, those renders details and shadings looks absolutely pleasanter to watch, it's amazing how good graphics technology become in last years. I believe a better last words for Mike Brady on Titanic departure from Southampton would be " the rest is history"
Amazing narration. Titanic's story, composed of glimpses into the lives of so many, as well as glimpses into her inner workings and outer actions, is an epic. You have captured that beautifully with the tapestry you have woven. Thank you!
Titanic is one of those perfect stories of hubris and humanity that appeal to our need for storytelling…especially when it’s told as well as it is here. Fantastic job taking a well known story and giving it new insight and interest! Subscribed!
That was captivating ... You have such a soothing voice that holds interest, you don't rush things ... you just let the words drift across the either to be taken in and absorbed ... you are getting pretty good at this ;)
This is an incredible video. I'm about 29 minutes in and everything you've done is just detailed and amazing. Your videos are quite a spectacle to watch.
You’re a great story teller! Telling what was it like for the people who work on the Titanic and passengers were like prior to the night of April 14-15 of 1912.
My friend Mike Brady's videos have absolutely NO RIGHT to be this good. The engineering history mixed with human stories, all explained with newsreel, photos and the most amazing CG reconstruction. It's too good.
“A new penny in the moonlight.” OOF, Mike! Such a simple statement, but one so loaded with…. Promise. Yikes! Another fantastic video from my friend, Mike Brady!
What a brilliant video, Mike! It’s so easy to forget that Titanic had a life, albeit far too brief, before April14th 1912. She’s captured my heart in a whole new way, thank you for that.
Mike, this was a wonderful video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a Titanic fan ever since I was 11 (I'm 71 now) and it's amazing how far interest in the Titanic has come. I was made fun of because it was considered weird to show interest in an ill-fated ocean liner. I'm very pleased that times have changed and there's people like you who will the grand old ship's memory alive. Well done!
My grandfather and his uncle were supposed to be on the Titanic but he had an infection and was not allowed to bored. So I guess I am living a life that I might not of had as they were 3 rd class passengers.
Eva Hart said a great many times after the sinking that the Titanic "will go down in history as the one disaster where there was no need for anyone to die." So true
It's interesting to see that Mike dropped this at the time he did. I mean here in Australia we live in the future, it's already 3-5 hours into the 15th.
Honestly, its just depressing to think about all the work to build, fit out, ready up, load and sail off with Titanic, just for it to last less than a week in service
Just when you think it’s been exhausted out, our good friend Mike manages to put out another well documented video. Thank you for this! Just tells us that there are things that haven’t been told
My obsession with Titanic was renewed this past Sunday (Mother’s Day) when we went to the Titanic Exhibit in Skokie Illinois. This channel has been a godsend. It’s like I’m discovering Titanic all over again the way I did when I first saw Titanic in theaters in 1997 and I’m so glad this is happening to me.
how many titanic videos can be made? every week. mind you, ive watched very one.... it must be good for content and views. how crazy is it that over 100 years after a ship wreck... here we are, all over the world, getting a quarter million people watching videos about her... its truly mind blowing.
Thank you Mike for yet another outstanding production. You really have a knack for making these amazing videos. Keep up the great work and I eagerly look forward to your next project.
Thank you so much Mike for your help with understanding the history of this amazing project. I was so blessed to be able to be part of the Titanic exhibition when it came to Seattle years ago. It was my responsibility to make sure that nobody would touch the part of the hull that was brought to the surface and then because part of the exhibition years ago. It was so special to see the remnants of the ship that were once on the passengers and I was so touched by the tragedy. But being a spiritual being having a human experience I couldn’t help myself from being tempted to touch the hull piece when I had a chance and nobody could see me, Well a few years later I was just trying to get my bus home from work when I got hit by a distracted driver who was on their cellphone and had no clue that I was in the middle of the crosswalk until I got hit and I was thrown into the air and then I landed forty feet away. I was so blessed to have a friend that witnessed my accident and he called 911 and I was rushed to the hospital where I was in a coma for three weeks after and even though I was only given a five percentage chance of survival I am so grateful to be alive today and able to share my story with you as I have read that there was a curse on the Titanic
Dear Mike, I don't know how you do this, but this story and animation, they're just magic. I'm sure I'm going to watch this over and over again. Thanks a lot!
As usual your video is fantastic. Script, score and original images are perfect but the graphics are particularly beautiful in this one. Stellar job as always Mike
Mike, you are a true gem in the pursuit and dissemination of maritime history. Keep up the great work. Your videos are top notch, and your narrations are superb. With a voice like yours, I think I would be entertained if you simply read a telephone directory to us.
Our friend Mike Brady did an alternate history video in which he imagines what Titanic's life would have been like if it had avoided sinking on the maiden voyage. It's pretty neat. Check the Titanic playlist on his channel...
It’s funny, all the “What ifs” Titanic would have most likely would have served the seas for 25-30 years then ignominiously met her end in a scrap yard, a la Olympic. We wouldn’t be talking of her all these years later, but that’s another “What if”
❤ Loved this my cousin died on the titanic his body was never recorded his name was Percival Franklin or Franklin Percival Sharp he got on at the SouthHampton stop
It's videos like these that give me a deeper look into the Titanic and what she went through just before her first and last voyage. I love history and this channel makes me love my favourite topics a lot more.
It’s beautiful how you tell Titanic’s story here. This story brings so much life back to her despite what her future held. I love this!
Thank you so much!

Have a happy birthday 🎂🎈🎉
Who are you calling a hoe? lol j/k Happy Birthday
@@MaryClareVideos Thank you. I'll be 41 this year, but I appreciate that.
@@Brock_Landers You’re still young. I love cars too. I’m half owner of my dad’s 1953 Hudson Hornet. 🐝 it was in the movie No Sudden Move. Brendan Fraser drove it.
My birthday is the 18th too! Strange how your comment is the first I saw haha.
What am amazing video. Those animations are incredible. The story of people who build and served on Titanic are almost as fascinating as the ship herself. To think that as of today 112 years ago that incredible ship and so many people saw their last sunset. All of those lives lost and all of the amazing engineering taken to the bottom of the Atlantic.
Mike you should be so proud of the work you do on your Oceanliner Designs channel. This is another remarkable production. Thank you so much for keeping Titanic alive.
Just made a pot of tea and guess what was waiting just for me on the laptop???
Why, a NEW video from Oceanliner Designs, it's going to be a great day......
Yeah I love it when that happens. It's always a pleasant surprise to see that your favourite TH-camr has dropped a new video when you have a few quiet minutes to yourself before stepping out into the hustle and bustle of the 'real world'.
@@Bob-Jenkins Mike has a very relaxing narration but with lots of information.
This is absolutely breathtaking, even with the 360p upload quality. I often wish I would have had access to something like this back in the early nineties when my love for Titanic grew into more of an obsession, so to speak, and all I had were a few pictures of Titanic in an old book, but I'm just as thankful that we were finally given such an incredible -- and unbeatable -- gift thanks to the THG guys and Mike Brady. We've literally been allowed the chance to step aboard the Titanic and it honestly doesn't get any better than that.
Future holodecks will appreciate all the hard work.
Stunning work as always Mike. I find the story of the night the Titanic sank fascinating and tragic, but it's great to see videos about the ship in her prime, "untouched by tragedy" as you say. Looking forward to the other releases you've teased for April.
titanic and the story of the liners is a drug because of you all! every time I try to detox you come up with more and more interesting videos! 😂 greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
😂😂😂😂
Mike! Dont ever stop i appreciate all the work you do to inform me with such depth of the stories you so kindly share
You're such a great story teller, Mike! This episode gave me goosebumps!
I repeat 3 times that massively beautiful hot restaurant and interiors, those renders details and shadings looks absolutely pleasanter to watch, it's amazing how good graphics technology become in last years.
I believe a better last words for Mike Brady on Titanic departure from Southampton would be " the rest is history"
Amazing narration. Titanic's story, composed of glimpses into the lives of so many, as well as glimpses into her inner workings and outer actions, is an epic. You have captured that beautifully with the tapestry you have woven. Thank you!
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Absolutely SPECTACULAR video. Somehow I felt that we got left on a cliffhanger. Loved it mate.
Michael Brady, you always do a great job.
Thank you.
Yes, consistently excellent videos.
Titanic is one of those perfect stories of hubris and humanity that appeal to our need for storytelling…especially when it’s told as well as it is here.
Fantastic job taking a well known story and giving it new insight and interest! Subscribed!
That was captivating ... You have such a soothing voice that holds interest, you don't rush things ... you just let the words drift across the either to be taken in and absorbed ... you are getting pretty good at this ;)
Thanks. As mentioned in my previous conversation, thank you.
Great way to get ready for the livestream
i cant find the live stream..
@@PietroLombardo-b4cI think it's tonight.
@@PietroLombardo-b4c It will be tonight starting at 10:30 EST, Titanic Honor and Glory.
@@stonewall01 ty
Yes, me too! I sat up most of the night last year listening to it. These you tube channels are the best!
Been watching enough of your videos, thought some money would be fair in return. Thank you
Beautifully done. I felt quite emotional at the end.
Thank you for doing these titanic videoes
What a beautifully and professionally-produced program. Enjoyed every second!
If titanic had been prioritized over Olympic, it probably wouldn't have hit the iceberg, and might just be a footnote in ocean liner history.
This is an incredible video. I'm about 29 minutes in and everything you've done is just detailed and amazing. Your videos are quite a spectacle to watch.
You’re a great story teller! Telling what was it like for the people who work on the Titanic and passengers were like prior to the night of April 14-15 of 1912.
My friend Mike Brady's videos have absolutely NO RIGHT to be this good. The engineering history mixed with human stories, all explained with newsreel, photos and the most amazing CG reconstruction. It's too good.
What a beautiful video. Ty for making one about how amazing the ship was prior to the disaster.
“A new penny in the moonlight.” OOF, Mike! Such a simple statement, but one so loaded with…. Promise. Yikes!
Another fantastic video from my friend, Mike Brady!
A most splendid video Mr Brady. Well done !
Thank you so much Mike and the team behind this.
This is very informative
I've watched this many times, and each time I am washed away by this lovely story. It is so well done Great job Mike and Titanic Honor & Glory!
This is such a wonderful video. Captivating visuals from THG, and the ever charismatic tones of my friend, Mike Brady.
What a brilliant video, Mike! It’s so easy to forget that Titanic had a life, albeit far too brief, before April14th 1912. She’s captured my heart in a whole new way, thank you for that.
I never thought there would be a Titanic story I didn't know and would be this interesting. ❤ great story.
Mike, this was a wonderful video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a Titanic fan ever since I was 11 (I'm 71 now) and it's amazing how far interest in the Titanic has come. I was made fun of because it was considered weird to show interest in an ill-fated ocean liner. I'm very pleased that times have changed and there's people like you who will the grand old ship's memory alive. Well done!
My grandfather and his uncle were supposed to be on the Titanic but he had an infection and was not allowed to bored. So I guess I am living a life that I might not of had as they were 3 rd class passengers.
It's crazy the tapestry of history weaves
@@PsRohrbaugh absolutely
You should tell the Titanic Historical Society about it.
These videos just get better and better! What a fantastic job everyone on the team has done. Thank you to the Oceanliner designs team! ❤
Eva Hart said a great many times after the sinking that the Titanic "will go down in history as the one disaster where there was no need for anyone to die." So true
When is there ever a disaster where there is a need for people to die? What does that even mean?
It's interesting to see that Mike dropped this at the time he did. I mean here in Australia we live in the future, it's already 3-5 hours into the 15th.
He has analytics he knows where the bulk of his audience are.
@@MakerInMotion Yeah, of course he does. That doesn't take anything away from the fact that I find it interesting.
Can you send me tomorrow's winning lottery numbers?! 😃
Serious amount of work behind this one, and it shows. The production values are huge and it looks amazing. Kudos to yourself and your crew.
Honestly, its just depressing to think about all the work to build, fit out, ready up, load and sail off with Titanic, just for it to last less than a week in service
Just when you think it’s been exhausted out, our good friend Mike manages to put out another well documented video. Thank you for this! Just tells us that there are things that haven’t been told
Titanic.....
What else can I say, she is famous to everyone.
She will I guess forever be famous for a variety of reasons (maiden voyage and largest man-made movable object to name just two)
@@fmyoungwhat indeed?
My obsession with Titanic was renewed this past Sunday (Mother’s Day) when we went to the Titanic Exhibit in Skokie Illinois. This channel has been a godsend. It’s like I’m discovering Titanic all over again the way I did when I first saw Titanic in theaters in 1997 and I’m so glad this is happening to me.
how many titanic videos can be made? every week. mind you, ive watched very one.... it must be good for content and views. how crazy is it that over 100 years after a ship wreck... here we are, all over the world, getting a quarter million people watching videos about her... its truly mind blowing.
I learned here that a liner would normally just sink. Those two hours she took to go down made her legendary.
There are more TITANIC videos than there are video reports about the first human landing on the Moon in 1969.. Odd to consider that.
@@MarinCipollina That's interesting
Man I will say you do a absolutely phenomenal job of narrator and explaining things !
the animations are amazing! my passion is showing
These are the most beautiful and realistic graphics! Wonderfully done and professionally narrated! Thank you so much!
If there will ever be another titanic movie, our friend Michael Brady has to be in it. He deserves it. Such passion should be rewarded.
And playing Thomas Andrews!
Titanic II - the resurrection😅
Thank you Mike for yet another outstanding production. You really have a knack for making these amazing videos. Keep up the great work and I eagerly look forward to your next project.
I’ve been waiting for this
I really enjoy your videos. I’d love it if you did an episode about the duties of the crew. I’ve always wondered about the logistics of this.
Happy titanic annaversary mike x
Thank you so much Mike for your help with understanding the history of this amazing project. I was so blessed to be able to be part of the Titanic exhibition when it came to Seattle years ago. It was my responsibility to make sure that nobody would touch the part of the hull that was brought to the surface and then because part of the exhibition years ago. It was so special to see the remnants of the ship that were once on the passengers and I was so touched by the tragedy. But being a spiritual being having a human experience I couldn’t help myself from being tempted to touch the hull piece when I had a chance and nobody could see me, Well a few years later I was just trying to get my bus home from work when I got hit by a distracted driver who was on their cellphone and had no clue that I was in the middle of the crosswalk until I got hit and I was thrown into the air and then I landed forty feet away. I was so blessed to have a friend that witnessed my accident and he called 911 and I was rushed to the hospital where I was in a coma for three weeks after and even though I was only given a five percentage chance of survival I am so grateful to be alive today and able to share my story with you as I have read that there was a curse on the Titanic
An excellent video for the 112th anniversary. Even the days of the week align.
And 1912 was a leap year too
April 14th will be Sunday again in 6 years
Very informative. Never realized so much went into just getting the ship ready.
Oh how we all love to hear from our friend, Mike Brady
Dear Mike, I don't know how you do this, but this story and animation, they're just magic. I'm sure I'm going to watch this over and over again. Thanks a lot!
I've been watching it over and over again too
This is my 5th time watching it 🤣
Awesome thanks
As usual your video is fantastic. Script, score and original images are perfect but the graphics are particularly beautiful in this one. Stellar job as always Mike
Happy Sunday, April 14th to our friend Mike Brady of Ocean Liner Designs! 🎉🎉🎉
Words like "collieries" get me, keep up the excellent reporting!
Why are we so fascinated by the story of this ship’s sinking? As I am here to see this video (and more) I can’t say to know why.
Mike, you are a true gem in the pursuit and dissemination of maritime history. Keep up the great work. Your videos are top notch, and your narrations are superb.
With a voice like yours, I think I would be entertained if you simply read a telephone directory to us.
Today is April 14 but not just any old April 14 its also a Sunday
And it will be Sunday again in 6yrs
Thanks
Wait, so you telling me on April Fools' Day They got everybody out there and lined them up then delayed trials? 🤔
I will never get enough of videos about Titanic from our friend Mike Brady, thank you for these wonderful videos!
Imagine if Titanic wasn't delayed 3 months.
That or what if the voyage had been delayed one more time (if only slightly)
Our friend Mike Brady did an alternate history video in which he imagines what Titanic's life would have been like if it had avoided sinking on the maiden voyage. It's pretty neat. Check the Titanic playlist on his channel...
It’s funny, all the “What ifs” Titanic would have most likely would have served the seas for 25-30 years then ignominiously met her end in a scrap yard, a la Olympic. We wouldn’t be talking of her all these years later, but that’s another “What if”
Mike's video always get me excited to learn more about these magnificent ocean liners !
I cant believe in less than 24 hours it will be the 112 year anniversary since the sinking, I’m crying!
Silly
It’s a very important day for me. It’s my son’s birthday, 04/15/2011 and he passed away 10/03/2020. A lot of emotions for me
@@pinkvivi9345how terrible for you. My condolences for your sad loss.
Mike Brady, my friend, that was an outstanding video in every way possible.
Well done, Sir.
A sad day, indeed
Well we now have a happy day, April 10th the day Oj Simpson croaked.
This was so good, I was so intrigued in this video it didnt feel like a 42 min video. Can’t wait for the next one 😊
❤ Loved this my cousin died on the titanic his body was never recorded his name was Percival Franklin or Franklin Percival Sharp he got on at the SouthHampton stop
Your cousin? So you must be around 120 years old! Amazing! What's the secret to such longevity? :P
@@johnnyblue4799 of course not it was being down thru the family duh!!!!
@@judybaackebrewer61 Well, cousin means "a child of one's uncle or aunt". So you are old, or a ghost typing! :))))
@@johnnyblue4799 no it's just been passed down in the family
It's videos like these that give me a deeper look into the Titanic and what she went through just before her first and last voyage. I love history and this channel makes me love my favourite topics a lot more.
