@@OceanlinerDesigns the thing is my cousin was one of those whoperiahedon the titanic he got on at Southampton just seeing how large the debris field is quit amazing cause you know it had to hit the ocean floor with a tremendous joly to turn all almost around when landing and what force it must've took to throw that debris around in that way love the channel and I watch everyone of you're videoes andi love how much you enjoy bringing it's content to us thank you for you're bringing this feast shop back to life for future generations as I they once how great as shop she was for her time so unfortunately but thanks for those like you the future generations will be able to see how wonderful she was for her time
Yes. The space heater out of place seems like a capricious trick, much like the teapot on the boiler. Gravity and displacement, I know, but still. The trivia regarding the starboard davit is interesting. Heck! All of this is interesting and kudos for your deep (pun intended) knowledge of Titanic.
If you see this I’m lucky and you’ve inspired me so much and taught me so much about ships and I might even start animating on my channel please go live or reply to this if you see it
...it wasn't 'entropy' ,- or either of the other two "Laws of Thermodynamics" which Doomed TITANIC, but not-fully-understood Principles of Metallurgy: The Steel-Ship builders of the 19-teens were still learning the finer points of producing high-uniformity/low-contaminate steel allows for the hull plates & the rivets which held the plates to one-another -- and secured the plates to internal structures. Steel plates & rivets immersed in 'sub-freezing temp' saltwater don't take long to chill to those same temperatures -- and Very low (the ocean temps where TITANIC collided with the iceberg was )
According to the late P. H. Nargeolet (co-discoverer of Titanic and OceanGate victim), Robert Ballard placed the cup on the boiler for emotional effect after vowing never to touch anything on the wreck.
Been fascinated with the Titanic for over 60 yrs. In 1962, Mrs Lloyd, my 6th grade teacher was British. She was a great teacher, etc. She told my female classmates that her sister was a survivor on the Titanic. I’ve checked the survivor lists with no survivors named Lloyd. I need her maiden name. My wife and I visited the Titanic artifacts exhibition in Columbus Ohio last week. Over 200 artifacts on exhibit, the crows nest bell, plates, clothing, a boot, 1 davit. A reproduction of the Grand Staircase, reproduction 1st, 3rd class cabins, hallways, and much more. Also many pictures and stories. One of my favorites is of Fr Thomas Byles and his story. Keep up the good work Mike
@OceanlinerDesigns do you know if anyone has ever done a realistic artistic rendering of what the Titanic looked like the day after it sank? It would be really neat to have an idea of what it looked like as a new wreck.
thank you mike brady from oceanliner designs, i started hyperventilating a bit when i saw this notification. i hope you enjoyed your time in the states and i hope you have a safe journey home!
Love the videos Mike! One suggestion, when showing pieces of wrecks (Titanic included), can you point on screen to the parts you are referring to? This can be as detailed as you wish but for those of us who are less familiar with the wrecks, this can be very helpful.
They'll never not be that way. Copper, bronze and brass are toxic to marine microorganisms. The ship's bronze propellers will be there, even after the ship has completely decayed.
Those (brass/bronze) items are constan tly "polished" by sediment in the water current flowing over them. They will be the only things left when Titanic has completely corroded away and is an orange stain on the sea floor.
Last night I had the pleasure of your father’s company at a birthday celebration. He is most proud of your efforts. Well done. Next week I will be giving him a shipping book to pass onto you. I believe it will be of interest to you.
Mr. Brady, you take so much pleasure in your work, you impart that pleasure to us all in the process, thank you sir. I’ve come to look forward to each of your lectures.
woah woah wait, for that engine rod to have bent like that, it means the engine still had power then hydrolocked on the way down. Since the boilers would have been flooded, I wonder if this means the engines still had enough pressure built up that they were still rotating as the ship went down, that's insane.
Yes. The bulk of the Titanic will eventually disintegrate, due to bacterial activity devouring the various metals and woods of the ship. The only items that are likely to remain (until they are finally buried in deep ocean 'snow' and eventually becoming incorporated into sedimentary layers of limestone and siltstone) are the glass windows and ceramic crockery.
Of course you are right. But it is simply outrageous that this boat is left to rust away! It would last far far longer if every five years someone sprayed it with anti-rust primer paint. An ounce of prevention is worth……
@@piperg6179 I assume you are joking? The technological challenges of spray painting a rusting wreckage underneath 14,000 feet of seawater makes that impossible.
@@WWZenaDo Joking? Every year thousands of high school and college valedictorians tell us we can accomplish anything we put our minds to. Are you implying they are wrong and that silly little physical limits and scientific laws can override our enthusiasm for crackpot ideas? If we cannot spray paint it, perhaps we can use paint rollers with long handles, or baste it with olive oil, or……. BTW…Have you or our dear readers ever noticed that the people who dive on or to wrecks have never been interested in looking at obsolete ships still afloat? Wreck diving seems to fulfill a romantic drive.
It will be a very historic event when the two 15.5 ton anchors on Titanic’s bow flanks drop in the future. They will again hit the ocean floor, yet they will never be raised again sadly. Meanwhile her bow anchor will remain where it sits in it’s well until that frame supporting its weight gives way from rusticle damage. Truly a testament to the men of Harland And Wolff and Hingley And Sons (the manufacturer of Titanic’s anchors and anchor chains) that the auxiliary chains still hold the main anchor chains in place, keeping Titanic’s two anchors off the Atlantic’s floor for over 110 years.
Ladies and gentleman, our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs has blessed us with another video, turning frowns upside down and bad days to good days!
Thank you for the great video! Have you checked out Titanic VR by any chance? If you have a VR headset, it lets you dive down to a virtual representation of the wreck, both the bow and stern. It also lets you pilot a little ROV into the ships interiors, including the wireless room, reception room, and Turkish baths. Its not 100% accurate, but its quite close, and really eerie, because it really feels like you are there. I spent hours just exploring everything.
I'm always amazed by the numerous things at the wreck that has these incredible stories to tell. I didn't even know that one small thing from inside the ship came to rest on the forward well-deck of the bow section. You learn something new every day. I would love to see how the ship looks now compared to what she was back in 2010. Great video as always, Mike.
I was already smirking at "Poop Deck," when you mentioned that so many laugh at it. Those cranes... most appear to be degrading much, much more slowly than the rest of the vessel. Wow. The fact that people are able to get down there at all to document this... incredible. P.S. Dug the background music. Nice choice!
Your comments are very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and respectful of the souls who were involved in this historic event. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise in this area. Listening to you is very relaxing and pleasant.
One question : why is there no more explorations of the inside of the wreck since 2005? I know the wreck is fragile and not secure now, but with our current technology, it's a mystery to me nobody sends very miniaturized ROVs in order to explore every place inside of the wreck.. That's very frustrating..
Considering when the Titanic was constructed, it was most likely painted with a lead-based paint. As an additive, lead makes paint more durable and resistant to moisture, so was commonly used on ships. Also, white paint would have a higher concentration of lead, which probably explains why the white is more durable than the other colors.
Thanks so much for walking us through this video Mike, excellent job as always! I was always under the impression that if one was to stand next to Titanic that her rivet and joint work would look rather crappy and haphazard, after all they were working pieces of steel weighing several tons and essentially using blacksmith's tools from the Civil War era. I then went to the Titanic exhibit in Las Vegas and I couldn't believe the actual craftsmanship of the hull work. The rivets were lined up straight enough to lay a straight edge beside and the joints looked like pencil lines, I then realized the degree of skill involved in creating the great ship. Also, the portholes had two inch thick glass and I think they were the most spooky part of the whole exhibit, it made one ponder as to who may have looked through them while at sea. Looking through those portholes almost made it seem as if the ghosts of Titanic's passengers were looking back at us... Another point of interest for me is to see the Titanic poised in her stocks while being built with the man leaning against the railing, then to see the wreck photos of how deep in the mud Titanic's bow actually is - up to her anchors. I hope someone venture deep within the bow someday. I guess in a way Captain Smith's orders are still standing - he ordered the anchors up and they are to this day. In 2010 I spent considerable time in NSW, Mike, and really enjoyed that experience, I hope to see you return to the US soon. Maybe you could team up with the folks tending the SS United States and take us on a grand tour of that ship as well, I'm sure you've already thought of that. Stay safe, my friend and salute from Anchorage!
I just started watching the show called “titanic in colour” and when I saw Mike in the documentary, my mind instantly new who he was and it was amazing
Thanks as always Mike love to watch your videos so pleased I came across your channel , so informative great exposition, and your voice makes for such easy listening. I've been fascinated in Titanic since being very young and came across you when looking at Titanic info more recently as I was going to Belfast in August. quite a moving experience at times, seeing the slipways and the memorial wall especially. Thanks too for the introduction to THG having watched the 3hr video, human tragedy aside, it was hard to comprehend that all that beauty all that work went to the bottom of the sea. Strangely I am now enjoying your other videos not just the Titanic ones The Empress of Ireland I particularly enjoyed. On this video the marconi tubes/area was interesting......thanks & hope you enjoy your time in the uk
I learned about Titanic when I was like 8 or 9 (late 80s, shortly after the discovery) - my parents had a big coffee table book written by Robert Ballard and I loved the hell out of that book. Anyway, I can assure you, as a child of that age, I thought the words "poop deck" in that book were fucking HILARIOUS.
Something I wondered, why is the Titanic decaying so fast while other deep water ship wrecks nearly as old like the Samuel B Roberts or the USS Hornet being remarkably well preserved despite only about a 30 year difference between their sinkings? The Hornet in particular is in amazing shape, still had planes onboard with legible paint that look like if you went through effort of raising them could probably be restored to flying condition relatively easily. Difference in ocean temperature or oxygen content? That metal eating bacteria being unique to Titanic? Differences in Navy and passenger ships metal or paints?
Not too far from Titanic they found something on sonar and dived on it (can't remember if ROV or manned), it was actual sea growth which at that depth is almost unheard of. My theory is Titanic got triple unlucky and sank in a part of the deep Atlantic capable of allowing rust to live & thrive.
The deeper the depth, the less microbes there are to eat away the wreck. Although Titanic is deep, it is still in the depth zone where there is plenty of life.
From what I remember it's a combination of a couple things the water temperature the depth and the fact that submersibles have landed on it and agitated the areas
I think the fact that warships were designed to resist incoming fire from other ships is a big part of it. They are highly compartmentalized to help resist the ship sinking. Passenger ships weren't designed to go into battle at all, thus they are more open vs a warship.
Amazing video Mike! Just to point something out, at 25:53, those are the frames from the B deck private promenade A deck is completely crushed by the boat deck, and both are on top of B deck, and they're pushing the decks below (you can see that the windows inside the promenade are way lower than the normal deck level) But other than that, you never cease to amaze us with your great content, can't wait for your next video! Stay safe and happy
I have seen hundreds of photos of the wreck over the years and this is the first time I have ever seen one of the electric heaters on the well deck (time index 19:50). It looks in very good shape except for the crumpled base and it looks to be made from bronze as it shines bright like gold…..fascinating!!!!!
For what it's worth, white paint is often made with titanium dioxide or lead oxide. Both of those compounds tend to inhibit microbial action, and white paint absorbs the least thermal energy. That might have something to do with it.
I have been lurking like a long lost ship at the bottom of sea...time to rise up and subscribe! Love the content and the clear passion you have for the stories and history of so many amazing ships has really won me over! Cheers to you sir and thanks for all you do!
Why the American flag? He’s Australian (like me)🇦🇺 and Titanic was a British ship. So, America is useless when it comes to Titanic. Except the destination. But, the ship never made it so my point STILL stands.
We need footage of inside the ship inside the cargo hold where all the stuff was stored when she sank. That will be cause some good footage to see what the cargo holds look like today.
Hi friend Mike! I tend to skip other Titanic videos in search specifically of yours ❤ Very captivating and I’ve learned so many cool things! I hope you never run out of things to teach us 🎉
I had to go look up why on earth it was called a ‘poop deck’ and the explanation made perfect sense, although somewhat disappointing that no actual poop was involved. Very misleading. “The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or "after" cabin, also known as the "poop cabin" (or simply the poop).”
Exactly right. And the poop deck on old galleons was elevated to provide visibility, because that's from where the ship was steered. The Edwardian era poop-deck was a feint remnant of that deck's original purpose. Many think that the poop deck was originally where a sailing ship's toilets (or heads) were located, hanging out over the deck. While humorous, this is not the case.
More interesting Titanic stuff :) Spent last week in Belfast, and went over to the Titanic Experience to see the shipyards where she wads built. Spent some time going around the exhibition, and exploring the old Cherbourg Tender ship Nomadic they have there too. Took passengers and luggage out to Titanic when she stopped at Cherbourg. All interesting stuff. Probably learned more titanic info in this channel though....but still well worth a visit.
you should do a video of any undiscovered wrecks of ww2. if any famous ones haven't been found i know the USS Lexington was found in 2018 so relatively recent and considering the number of ships that sank in ww2 alone there must be more.
I just watched a program on Channel 4 about the colourization of footage from the grainy black-and-white images of the Titanic, and Mike was a contributor. I was taken aback a little because he wasn’t wearing the attire of a gentleman from the late 1800s or early 1900s. As with Mike's videos, it was enthralling.
Love these videos! You do such a great job! Anyway next time can you like draw on the picture your looking at what your explaining ? Not sure if you have that technology 😊… thanks again
I am of the mind that i actually dont have a problem with non personal items being bought to the surface from the wreck and the debri field. I agree personal items should be left where they fell. but I think things like plates, cups, bottles, ect could be retrieved, and distributed around the world. People say its disturbing graves, but lets face it, we do that with every dive to the wreck in the name of "science"
I concur, there's nothing wrong with retrieving non-personal debris field items. In fact I'd encourage retriving small easily managed hull sections for stabilization and museum displays that museum visitors can touch and "make the connection." I'd love to place my hand on a piece of Titanic. Trust me, the best historic artifacts have the ability to pull you back into their own time, even if it's for a second or two. It's weird but it's true.
@wayneantoniazzi2706 Being able to actually touch a piece of the hull would probably be the best way to cross that final threshold of realism without actually diving to the wreck. It would prevent another Titan incident, and it would be a way to show people the real Titanic and remove the barrier that media has built around it
@@tiggerforhim There it is, people DO like to make connections. And since you can't visit Titanic as you can Valley Forge or Gettysburg the next best thing is have the Titanic brought to the people, even if it's small pieces. Hey, I think there'd be nothing wrong with one of Titanic's recovered whistles set up permanently out doors at a maritime museum and blown several times a day, say at the museum's opening and closing and at 12:00 noon. Imagine the thrill of hearing Titanic's voice!
The sanctity of the grave is a very diverse concept globally. The whole "in perpetuity" thing is an exception, not the rule, and largely an American thing. There's (probably) nothing of the people left except their effects and because of its historic importance and having no living memory of the event left it can be argued to be more in the realm of archeology than grave robbing. The ship will inevitably decay more and more and eventually be gone. Artifacts preserved for posterity will last indefinitely. The deep sea lift capacity is unavailable in 2024 but I'd really like for one of the propellers to be returned to Belfast and put in the Titanic museum.
Hi Mike, it’s very coincidental that you upload this video today as the original documentary about the expedition that filmed this footage was on tv last night (I think it was the History Channel). The expedition was filmed to commemorate one hundred years since the Titanic sank so that makes it 2012. Great documentary and you have a fantastic and interesting channel. Take care and have a safe journey home.
I wasn’t criticising Mike for uploading this today, I was merely pointing out the fact that the programme was on last night and ot told the date of the expedition as Mike said that he believed the footage was from 2010!!!
Another great video Mike, imagine my surprise when I tuned it to watch Titanic: In Colour on UK TV to see you as one of the consultants, a great surprise and made me enjoy the documentary even more.
Brilliant stuff Mike - really well researched and presented. I have forwarded a link to my duaghter whose son Rory is absolutely transfixed with boats and liners etc. He knows so much about this ship and its history. His name is Rory Chapman and he is just five years old. He has been out on my boat in Southampton with me and I showed him where the Titanic departed from, he was blown away and speecless. This video will make his day! Thank you. Chris Kennard from Southampton UK. PS, my own dad worked for Harland and Wolf back in the day, whilst my Grandad drove steam trains along the lines on the front of the docks all those years ago.
Greetings from Bath, former home of Stothert & Pitt who built the 'Titanic' cranes. We have a few bits of old crane infrastructure dotted around if you know where in the city to look.
The feature at 11:05 is actually another bathtub, in the communal bathroom that served the small cluster of first-class cabins on the boat deck, to the rear of the officers' quarters. Only one of those cabins was occupied during the voyage, that we know of.
I hope you enjoyed exploring the Titanic wreck with me! Did you learn anything new? What was your favourite bit of footage? I think seeing the space heater on top of the well deck is pretty unique!

"She's made of Matter! Sir, I assure you, she can"
She's made of "rusteum". In time, she will be completely gone.
"And she will... it is a scientific certainty!"
Confusing because that's not how the movie says it

The teacup sitting on the boiler will always be one of my favorite shots of the wreck.

Actually it wasn’t a tea cup but a metal mug probably used by one of the engineers on duty.

Well duh. If you were one of the stokers, where else would you place your teacup to keep the tea tepid?

It is somewhat of a catch 22 as interior expeditions are likely to cause damage which is the first to be eaten away, speeding up decay.
Wish we could send humanoid robots down there to do independent expedition but I guess the tech is not there yet
It's already too late. Let's be honest, the ship looks like shit.
It would be awesome if you could do a video on the wreck of the Britannic
Along with Lusitania and Andrea Doria
Maybe even Empress of Ireland too
Thank you, Mike. That was an amazing presentation. You have a great narration voice. Has the talk of recovering the wireless system gone anywhere?
I was already smirking at "Poop Deck," when you mentioned that so many laugh at it.
Those cranes... most appear to be degrading much, much more slowly than the rest of the vessel. Wow.
The fact that people are able to get down there at all to document this... incredible.
P.S. Dug the background music. Nice choice!
My inner 9 year old smirks every time he says poop deck.
16:20 our friend, davit shrimp
Your comments are very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and respectful of the souls who were involved in this historic event. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise in this area. Listening to you is very relaxing and pleasant.
One question : why is there no more explorations of the inside of the wreck since 2005?
I know the wreck is fragile and not secure now, but with our current technology, it's a mystery to me nobody sends very miniaturized ROVs in order to explore every place inside of the wreck..
That's very frustrating..
Seeing the Marconi Room brass relay tubes, I now feel compelled to quote the late Jack Phillips:
“Keep out! Shut up! I’m working Cape Race!”
Does that system function the same as modern bank drive-thrus?
P.S. I really like your selection of background music you use.
It's always a great day when our friend, Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs uploads a new video. Have a great day, and God bless
Great video!
Learned so much
Your analysis and explanation of camera angles really helped sort out
the details
Thank you
I went to the artefact exhibition earlier this year when it was in Melbourne. It was really good!
Considering when the Titanic was constructed, it was most likely painted with a lead-based paint. As an additive, lead makes paint more durable and resistant to moisture, so was commonly used on ships. Also, white paint would have a higher concentration of lead, which probably explains why the white is more durable than the other colors.
Thanks so much for walking us through this video Mike, excellent job as always! I was always under the impression that if one was to stand next to Titanic that her rivet and joint work would look rather crappy and haphazard, after all they were working pieces of steel weighing several tons and essentially using blacksmith's tools from the Civil War era. I then went to the Titanic exhibit in Las Vegas and I couldn't believe the actual craftsmanship of the hull work. The rivets were lined up straight enough to lay a straight edge beside and the joints looked like pencil lines, I then realized the degree of skill involved in creating the great ship. Also, the portholes had two inch thick glass and I think they were the most spooky part of the whole exhibit, it made one ponder as to who may have looked through them while at sea. Looking through those portholes almost made it seem as if the ghosts of Titanic's passengers were looking back at us...
Another point of interest for me is to see the Titanic poised in her stocks while being built with the man leaning against the railing, then to see the wreck photos of how deep in the mud Titanic's bow actually is - up to her anchors. I hope someone venture deep within the bow someday. I guess in a way Captain Smith's orders are still standing - he ordered the anchors up and they are to this day.
In 2010 I spent considerable time in NSW, Mike, and really enjoyed that experience, I hope to see you return to the US soon. Maybe you could team up with the folks tending the SS United States and take us on a grand tour of that ship as well, I'm sure you've already thought of that. Stay safe, my friend and salute from Anchorage!
The Titanic means so much to me it’s a shame she’s disappearing 💜
Love your Titanic videos keep up the awesome work
I just started watching the show called “titanic in colour” and when I saw Mike in the documentary, my mind instantly new who he was and it was amazing
Thanks as always Mike love to watch your videos so pleased I came across your channel , so informative great exposition, and your voice makes for such easy listening. I've been fascinated in Titanic since being very young and came across you when looking at Titanic info more recently as I was going to Belfast in August. quite a moving experience at times, seeing the slipways and the memorial wall especially. Thanks too for the introduction to THG having watched the 3hr video, human tragedy aside, it was hard to comprehend that all that beauty all that work went to the bottom of the sea. Strangely I am now enjoying your other videos not just the Titanic ones The Empress of Ireland I particularly enjoyed. On this video the marconi tubes/area was interesting......thanks & hope you enjoy your time in the uk
Yessir. More Titanic footage 🔥❤️
I'm so glad we can get this amazing footage before it's gone completely
Always gonna like your videos, the effort, the passion, everything on point. Stay awesome
Me and my mom love your videos so many memories thank you for what you do
I learned about Titanic when I was like 8 or 9 (late 80s, shortly after the discovery) - my parents had a big coffee table book written by Robert Ballard and I loved the hell out of that book. Anyway, I can assure you, as a child of that age, I thought the words "poop deck" in that book were fucking HILARIOUS.
Same here. But I learnt about the Titanic from dad's National Geographic subscription. I ended up destroying both copies from use 😂
Something I wondered, why is the Titanic decaying so fast while other deep water ship wrecks nearly as old like the Samuel B Roberts or the USS Hornet being remarkably well preserved despite only about a 30 year difference between their sinkings? The Hornet in particular is in amazing shape, still had planes onboard with legible paint that look like if you went through effort of raising them could probably be restored to flying condition relatively easily. Difference in ocean temperature or oxygen content? That metal eating bacteria being unique to Titanic? Differences in Navy and passenger ships metal or paints?
Not too far from Titanic they found something on sonar and dived on it (can't remember if ROV or manned), it was actual sea growth which at that depth is almost unheard of.
My theory is Titanic got triple unlucky and sank in a part of the deep Atlantic capable of allowing rust to live & thrive.
The deeper the depth, the less microbes there are to eat away the wreck. Although Titanic is deep, it is still in the depth zone where there is plenty of life.
From what I remember it's a combination of a couple things the water temperature the depth and the fact that submersibles have landed on it and agitated the areas
I think the fact that warships were designed to resist incoming fire from other ships is a big part of it. They are highly compartmentalized to help resist the ship sinking. Passenger ships weren't designed to go into battle at all, thus they are more open vs a warship.
Sweetie,
You are the best dressed video producer on TH-cam!! I love a man in a suit! 😍😍😍
Mike Brady walks into a tailor shop. The tailor says, “You again? I’m starting to think you own more suits than ocean liners!”
Amazing video Mike! Just to point something out, at 25:53, those are the frames from the B deck private promenade
A deck is completely crushed by the boat deck, and both are on top of B deck, and they're pushing the decks below (you can see that the windows inside the promenade are way lower than the normal deck level)
But other than that, you never cease to amaze us with your great content, can't wait for your next video! Stay safe and happy
I have seen hundreds of photos of the wreck over the years and this is the first time I have ever seen one of the electric heaters on the well deck (time index 19:50). It looks in very good shape except for the crumpled base and it looks to be made from bronze as it shines bright like gold…..fascinating!!!!!
Theres a Titanic expedition at the wreck the last few weeks,be interesting to see the current state of the wreck when the images are released
For what it's worth, white paint is often made with titanium dioxide or lead oxide. Both of those compounds tend to inhibit microbial action, and white paint absorbs the least thermal energy. That might have something to do with it.
I have been lurking like a long lost ship at the bottom of sea...time to rise up and subscribe! Love the content and the clear passion you have for the stories and history of so many amazing ships has really won me over! Cheers to you sir and thanks for all you do!
I enjoy your videos, Mike. I also love listening to your beautiful Aussie accent.
I love listening to you describe the footage. I learn a lot.
Thanks for ALL THE GREAT NEWS! 🇺🇸
Why the American flag? He’s Australian (like me)🇦🇺 and Titanic was a British ship. So, America is useless when it comes to Titanic. Except the destination. But, the ship never made it so my point STILL stands.

We need footage of inside the ship inside the cargo hold where all the stuff was stored when she sank. That will be cause some good footage to see what the cargo holds look like today.
Dang, this video is fresh.
I’m heading to a Titanic Exhibit in Seattle on Tuesday. Really excited to see it!!
You have such a great voice for presenting videos! Always a joy to watch/listen to 🙌
Love from a fellow Aussie haha
Hello from London. Glad you were able to stop by again here.
Another happy day being greeted with an exquisite video by our friend from OceanLiner Designs, Mike Brady.
Hi friend Mike! I tend to skip other Titanic videos in search specifically of yours ❤ Very captivating and I’ve learned so many cool things! I hope you never run out of things to teach us 🎉
I had to go look up why on earth it was called a ‘poop deck’ and the explanation made perfect sense, although somewhat disappointing that no actual poop was involved. Very misleading.
“The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or "after" cabin, also known as the "poop cabin" (or simply the poop).”
Exactly right. And the poop deck on old galleons was elevated to provide visibility, because that's from where the ship was steered. The Edwardian era poop-deck was a feint remnant of that deck's original purpose.
Many think that the poop deck was originally where a sailing ship's toilets (or heads) were located, hanging out over the deck. While humorous, this is not the case.
More interesting Titanic stuff :)
Spent last week in Belfast, and went over to the Titanic Experience to see the shipyards where she wads built. Spent some time going around the exhibition, and exploring the old Cherbourg Tender ship Nomadic they have there too. Took passengers and luggage out to Titanic when she stopped at Cherbourg. All interesting stuff. Probably learned more titanic info in this channel though....but still well worth a visit.
you should do a video of any undiscovered wrecks of ww2. if any famous ones haven't been found i know the USS Lexington was found in 2018 so relatively recent and considering the number of ships that sank in ww2 alone there must be more.
Amazing the bathtub has been able to keep in the water, after all these years.
Mike I saw you on Channel 4 doing a piece about Titanic footage 🎥 🚢 I was like I swear I know that bloke… keep up the good work bro 👏
I just watched a program on Channel 4 about the colourization of footage from the grainy black-and-white images of the Titanic, and Mike was a contributor. I was taken aback a little because he wasn’t wearing the attire of a gentleman from the late 1800s or early 1900s. As with Mike's videos, it was enthralling.
Love these videos! You do such a great job! Anyway next time can you like draw on the picture your looking at what your explaining ? Not sure if you have that technology 😊… thanks again
I am of the mind that i actually dont have a problem with non personal items being bought to the surface from the wreck and the debri field. I agree personal items should be left where they fell. but I think things like plates, cups, bottles, ect could be retrieved, and distributed around the world. People say its disturbing graves, but lets face it, we do that with every dive to the wreck in the name of "science"
I agree. Leave personal items from the debris field, but bring back other items. For display in museums
I concur, there's nothing wrong with retrieving non-personal debris field items. In fact I'd encourage retriving small easily managed hull sections for stabilization and museum displays that museum visitors can touch and "make the connection." I'd love to place my hand on a piece of Titanic.
Trust me, the best historic artifacts have the ability to pull you back into their own time, even if it's for a second or two. It's weird but it's true.
@wayneantoniazzi2706
Being able to actually touch a piece of the hull would probably be the best way to cross that final threshold of realism without actually diving to the wreck. It would prevent another Titan incident, and it would be a way to show people the real Titanic and remove the barrier that media has built around it
@@tiggerforhim There it is, people DO like to make connections. And since you can't visit Titanic as you can Valley Forge or Gettysburg the next best thing is have the Titanic brought to the people, even if it's small pieces.
Hey, I think there'd be nothing wrong with one of Titanic's recovered whistles set up permanently out doors at a maritime museum and blown several times a day, say at the museum's opening and closing and at 12:00 noon. Imagine the thrill of hearing Titanic's voice!
The sanctity of the grave is a very diverse concept globally. The whole "in perpetuity" thing is an exception, not the rule, and largely an American thing. There's (probably) nothing of the people left except their effects and because of its historic importance and having no living memory of the event left it can be argued to be more in the realm of archeology than grave robbing.
The ship will inevitably decay more and more and eventually be gone. Artifacts preserved for posterity will last indefinitely. The deep sea lift capacity is unavailable in 2024 but I'd really like for one of the propellers to be returned to Belfast and put in the Titanic museum.
my god, mike brady's done it again
That's a colourful shrimp at 16:20. Thanks for the video.
You're one of the few reasons I still use youtube
Again another awesome and enjoyable video. Excellent work sir.
Appreciate the great footage, love anything to do with Titanic.... Thank you..
I want to see footage from the titan sub wreckage next time they send down a rov!!
Hi Mike, it’s very coincidental that you upload this video today as the original documentary about the expedition that filmed this footage was on tv last night (I think it was the History Channel). The expedition was filmed to commemorate one hundred years since the Titanic sank so that makes it 2012. Great documentary and you have a fantastic and interesting channel. Take care and have a safe journey home.
Not really. He posts on Sundays and Wednesdays.
I wasn’t criticising Mike for uploading this today, I was merely pointing out the fact that the programme was on last night and ot told the date of the expedition as Mike said that he believed the footage was from 2010!!!
Sorry meant to say “ told the date of the expedition in case this attracts more criticism 😂
told etc
Another great video Mike, imagine my surprise when I tuned it to watch Titanic: In Colour on UK TV to see you as one of the consultants, a great surprise and made me enjoy the documentary even more.
Thank you so much for your videos, interesting to hear what once was on the titanic.
Brilliant stuff Mike - really well researched and presented. I have forwarded a link to my duaghter whose son Rory is absolutely transfixed with boats and liners etc. He knows so much about this ship and its history. His name is Rory Chapman and he is just five years old. He has been out on my boat in Southampton with me and I showed him where the Titanic departed from, he was blown away and speecless. This video will make his day! Thank you. Chris Kennard from Southampton UK. PS, my own dad worked for Harland and Wolf back in the day, whilst my Grandad drove steam trains along the lines on the front of the docks all those years ago.
thx mike for a yet another amazing journey and facts about the Titanic wreck :)
Have a safe trip Mike
Greetings from Bath, former home of Stothert & Pitt who built the 'Titanic' cranes. We have a few bits of old crane infrastructure dotted around if you know where in the city to look.
The feature at 11:05 is actually another bathtub, in the communal bathroom that served the small cluster of first-class cabins on the boat deck, to the rear of the officers' quarters. Only one of those cabins was occupied during the voyage, that we know of.
Mike! I saw you on the programme Titanic in Colour on Channel 4 here in the UK. Fantastic stuff, really enjoyed it :)
