Thank you so much for all of your astoundingly kind comments! A lot of you seem to enjoy the music in particular so please enjoy this playlist of the soundtrack :) th-cam.com/play/PLxVUnfwCfa4ZRHyFOSP8KNetSjtD3SVNE.html
There is a music that I love the most is A FLOWER ON THE SEA (2000) by Michael Whalen and Mary McLaughlin which was used in the documentary TV-film LOST LINERS (2000) narrated by ocean searcher Robert Ballard!
This is why diy platforms are rhe best. Wether it's underground music, art or content for TH-cam, its fueled by true passion. The people who made this care about the history and sharing these stories over spectacle for money. It's not pseudo reality TV or ancient aliens.
If it rivals productions of major media corporations, it’d be less than a TH-cam video. Please… Don’t insult this masterpiece by comparing it to mainstream trash. Thank you.
To be fair, the large scale comparnies don't do anything other than reality shows these days. Been like that for nearly 2 decades now actually. Long gone the days of 1 hour documentaries on Discovery, Animal Planet and History.
These videos are truly so much better than any documentary you would find on Netflix or TV. Mike and the Oceanliner Designs team deserve so much credit for this amazing work.
I didn’t realize how much I love ocean liners until I stumbled across the Titanic videos. Then I realized I really wanted to see Lusitania covered because I once wrote a screenplay about it out of boredom during world history class after becoming fascinated by it because I was already into war history (especially the First World War). This has awoken a passion that has been dormant for 20 years. I really think the Lusitania deserves more love and recognition.
I’ve just checked into a hotel for the night. Looking for something to watch before I sleep and up pops this beauty. Thank you, our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs.
I get so stumped at the sheer quality of your videos these days. They look and sound so incredibly marvellous. Just as these beautiful ships deserve to be remembered.
And I wasn't really interested in Titanic or any other ship before seeing the video about Titanic's engines. I immediately fell for it and became a new passion for me. Simply awesome!
My son and I have a tradition of watching your videos while we work on our Lego projects! He calls you 'the nice ship man' - which is a giant leap forward from the grainy VHS tapes I watched at his age. Thanks for making this content so engaging and accessible. Keep up the great work!
Lusitania has always been one of my favorite liners. I love to see her getting so much attention again. Everyone at Oceanliner Designs has done such an amazing and fantastic job of bringing this beautiful ocean liner back to life. ❤😊
Mike... what an awesome job on this! Was nice to see something on this beautiful girl about her history, not just one day of it. I'm booked for my 3rd trans-Atlantic next March, and I remember my first, thinking what it must have been like back then, to see England slipping away and nothing but ocean ahead for a week. Granted, the QM2 is a totally different beast, but the feeling was there. Sailing into NY harbor at 4am, seeing the Statue of Liberty lit up... it was emotional, to think of the millions of people who did this trip, not for vacation, but for a new life... these classic ladies deserve the honor you've been giving them, not just because of tragedy, but because of the new world they helped create.
just got done watching all the way through, and i must say, its hard to grab my attention like that especially with my ADHD lol, but this man never fails with getting me hooked to the knowledge he lays down with such a good voice.
Thank you for telling the story of how she lived, rather than focusing on her tragic death. The graphic of the torpedo hit and the single scene of flooding was more than sufficient and allowed this wonderful presentation to maintain its largely uplifting feel.
I love oceanliner history and historical ships. 1915 was when my people, the Armenians were going through a genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire (Germany's ally) and April 24 marked the first day of the organized crime. Just a month before Lusitania sinking and the killings would continue until 1918, roughly. My great-grandfather, who was a survivor, had traveled on the Oceania in 1910 to visit America for the first time, then returned back to Armenia (Aintab). He became a hero, fighting alongside the French, against the Turks. This is a very dark period for me, obviously and watching this, I can't help to think of everything our homeland was going through. We lost 75% of our population and 90% of our lands.
No other author has gone into such detail as Mr Brady just did with this video. Absolutely brilliant writing and CG. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us.
Idk why, but “speed queens into vicious hunters,” scratched my brain just right. Something about this episode is just *chef’s kiss, truly. Loved the addition of the German language whispers - I felt the urgency there. So good.
Thank you very much for making this tribute to this magnificent ship. When I was 8 years old, one day while reading an article about the Titanic, they mentioned it and when I researched it and saw its beautiful design, I fell in love with it. For some reason I like its design, history and interiors more than those of the Titanic. I am currently 23 years old and I am still fascinated with it, with each passing year I learn something new about its magnificent history and legacy. It is a shame that it does not have the recognition it deserves, thanks to people like you with these projects that give such a magnificent ship the honor and recognition it deserves. Although she will never be as famous as the Titanic, one thing I am sure of is that she will always be my favorite ship in the world. Excellent work!
BLOWN AWAY by not only the actual stock footage and photos but the VIDEO quality you produced to make it look like it's currently in the ocean glistening in the sunlight / moonlight. All the narrative details just a big BRAVO to you for bringing the past so nicely into present! 🤩 or taking us viewers into the past.
My friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs, you put out the BEST content., production, and most informative on everything associated with ships, exceeding anything on TV or any other media. I'm 53 and have learned so much in the past 3 year's then the previous 50. Thank you for all that you do in expanding the knowledge for 100's of thousands people.
This documentary might be the best event of this May. Such a beautiful and colorful graphics, great narrative and deep knowledge of the events. Thank you for this masterpiece. Can't wait for the second part!
The quality of these videos is getting pretty damn serious. I have watched 'proper' TV documentaries with less research, worse visuals and less professional 3D graphics. Top quality job here Mike, and if someone isn't looking to employ you to do this professionally, they damn well should. The whole team here deserve high praise.
My husband came across your channel a couple of weeks ago when he was looking up the Titanic. He showed it to me and now I can't stop watching your videos; they are so engaging and the production quality is just excellent . Never knew I'd be interested in learning about oceanliners so thank you so much for sharing your passion with us.
I have to say this production is probably one of the best I’ve seen of a maritime documentary the likes of which I haven’t seen since peak Discovery Channel
Just breathtaking, the level of professionalism is a total credit to you Mr Brady. And was great to see Max Miller from Tasting History giving you a shout out recommending your work here. These productions deserve to be seen on mainstream TV.
These videos are so interesting and yet so peaceful and straight-forward. I might be the only one…but I listen to these on repeat while I play video games and it’s such a comfort, especially when I’m up late or not feeling well
Absolutely incredible work! The renderings of Lusitania do her beauty such perfect justice! Here’s one of Lusitania and Mauretania’s quirkier innovations I’ve always found interesting: they were the first liners to offer Second Class passengers the same dining schedule as Saloon, meaning a casual mid-morning breakfast, a light midday meal (‘luncheon’), and a large multi-course ‘dinner’ later in the evening, as was only customary in affluent households. Up until after the war most other liners, including the other Cunarders, offered Second and Third Class a dining schedule familiar to a working class household: a small breakfast served early in the morning, a large late morning ‘dinner’, a light ‘tea’ in the early evening and a late evening ‘supper’. This is mentioned in a number of brochures as a means to appeal to fashionable urban middle class travellers who couldn’t quite afford first class on other ships but expected a higher standard of service than second class usually afforded. You could kind of think of Second on the L and the M as being the original Business Class.
There is a media presenter and documentary narrator in my language who is legendary for his dark, soothing and listenable voice that keeps your attention no matter what he talks about. Everyone my age in my country will immedeatly recognise his voice... I think Mike Brady is a serious contender to his Throne - and he Talks about my favorite topic 😃
this ship is close to home my grandmother was born in 1895 and when she worked in the hotels she was called on to wash the bodies from the Lusitania, she told my father once about it and never spoke of it again her name was Rebecca Longwill
I've been OBSESSED with ships since I was 5 and when I heard about Lusitania (when I was 7) I jumped up and immediately sprinted to watch videos, read books and search Google. I didn't find many videos and many books but then I found your channel which I am heavily grateful for because I can trust you to give solid research and true statements and due to your channel I have found so many more ships to research thanks to you, thank you P.S.Whenever I click on your videos I get so happy to hear that iconic " hi it's me Mike Brady from ocean liner designs" which I usually enjoy with a nice cup of tea
Many thanks for this...an acquaintance from many years ago revealed his grandparents were on Lusitania on her fatal voyage and, luckily survived. Fascinating stories and great production values by Mike Brady..always a joy to watch!!
Mike...I've wanted for so long to tell you how much I enjoy your videos and their quality. I don't know how you and your team are able to put together such high-quality content. Your narration makes the videos come alive and makes an old landlubber like me feel like I'm on the ship. Let me compliment you once again and thank you for all of the dedication, research and hard work you put into each one of these videos.
That was a terrific account of Lucy's early life, Mike, thank you! I especially liked the telling of her encounter with the rogue wave. That must have been terrifying for everyone on the bridge. She looks positively wicked in dark gray (40:25).
Thrilling! The best of your digital work thus far! And thanks for reintroducing the beauty of Lusitania: sleek, graceful, truly the "greyhound" of the Atlantic!
Mr.Brady! What you and your team do is top-notch. Like audibles with visuals. So well spoken with enthusiasm that just can't be faked. You love what you do, and it shows in everything you do. Thank you friend!
The sickening thud as that torpedo hit the Lusitania filled me with terror as if I myself was onboard about to fight for survival! You outdo yourself with every new video Mike love it!
My favourite liner. ❤ Ever since it was love at first sight, courtesy of Dr. Ballard's exploration in 1993, when my age was still in single figures, the 'Lucy' has been the top liner for me. Graceful, elegant and fast, I always considered her the loveliest of all the early 20th century liners. I was on the Old Head of Kinsale on May 7th, 2015, for the centenary. Even got talking to Capt. Turner's grandson, himself elderly. I laid flowers on the graves of victims in the graveyard of Kinsale church. I was in Cobh (formerly Queenstown) for the evening commemoration where dozens of boats, all covered in lights, slowly processed into the harbour, representing the returning flotilla that raced out to do what they could.😢 The flotilla was watched over by Cunard's representative, the liner Queen Victoria, the only one of the fleet still with an 'ia' ending to the name, marking the occasion by an overnight visit on her latest cruise. In 2019 I proposed to my then-girlfriend beside the Lusitania's propeller in Liverpool, having just had a meal at the top of the former HQ of White Star Line, across the road from the Cunard Building. She was delusional or stupid enough to say "yes." 😂 And in 2022, having delayed our marriage due to Covid, we finally had our honeymoon...aboard the Cunard liner Queen Victoria, who I had seen in Cobh those years before. To say that the Lusitania has been a rather integral part of my life in some odd ways is putting it mildly! 😂 Thank you, Mike, for a lovely look back at nearly a decade of a successful career before a tragic ending. The lovely Lucy deserves to be remembered for what she was before May 7th, 1915, as much as she is for that terrible afternoon. 😊
Somehow... I have a bad feeling about this story`s end! But honestly... Oceanliner Designs always are on a quality level so high, that they easily win all competitions with documentations on TV about the same topics. You want to know something about ships and oceanliners? Come here... and answers will be given. The detail of information is so high, that one clearly feels the love for what the OD team is doing here. The CGI gets better and better, the sound and music is always on point... and the only word, that describes this clip correctly is historical docutainment. And thank you for making 2 parts... that way I learned a lot more about Lusitania than just her final minutes. And I am even sure, that part 2 will bring up dramatic informations, that are new to me, about her sinking. Because this happens every time, when I watch something from OD.
Hey Mike Love your channel mate, this one was a fantastic dive into the history before the tragedy of Lusitania. I’m wondering, would you look into doing a full history of Olympic, from start to end in this style? She’s my all time favourite and would love to see it honoured in this way. Cheers mate
Amazing work as always, Mike! I'm really loving these background stories of these great oceanliners. First Britannic and now Lusitania. Please, man, don't ever stop.
It never ceases to see each production by you and your team just flow so well and the story be so engrossing. Major congrats are in order yet again. Thank you for what you do.
Hello my friend, Mike Brady. Thank you for such a first class video. I felt like I was on the Lusitania. It’s almost like time travel. I’m amazed and impressed once again.
Her sinking WAS arguably her most important contribution to history - but just because it was the most important doesn't mean it's the only thing worth mentioning about her. Thank you for telling the story of a ship that would, to me, have been fascinating even if she had lived out her service life without major incidents. That, too, is a story worth telling, and you do it well.The video looks great, but you are also a great narrator; a pleasant and somehow reliable voice is really a boon to any TH-camr!
I have listened to a bunch of episodes and this one i believe is my favorite. I wish i could have been alive during this time to ride one of these beauties.
How can anyone NOT give this video a 'like'? Congratulations to all concerned. Outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. What would we all do without a friend like Mike Brady??
Michael this is an amazing video, thank you for writing and producing it. Animation is stunning. Sometimes we (I) forget the amount of hard work you all put in to bringing the best videos for the liner community and I may make stupid critiques frivolously -- ignore them, but they come from a place of ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What an incredible video, fascinating and beautifully poignant. Even by Mike Brady’s high standards, the production quality is exceptional. Really looking forward to part 2.
Mike this was truly breathtaking in its totality. You create the very best historically accurate yet fully dignified to the souls lost cinematography in my humble opinion. Thank you for being our friend Mike Brady and may you always be. A truly wonderful human being.
Holy heckers! Mike! You and the team have done the most amazing job on this doco! Blown away. Lost for words. The music, the animation, the actual film and pics, the WORDS/script. Gosh! Thank you so much.
I can't wait for hfx studios to finally give us the Lusitania experience. This magnificent video production made me wanna explore the ship even more. Great video Mike!

This is more than a TH-cam video. It rivals large scale productions by major media companies. I am simply amazed.
If it rivals productions of major media corporations, it’d be less than a TH-cam video. Please… Don’t insult this masterpiece by comparing it to mainstream trash. Thank you.
Dude where you been

To be fair, the large scale comparnies don't do anything other than reality shows these days. Been like that for nearly 2 decades now actually.
Long gone the days of 1 hour documentaries on Discovery, Animal Planet and History.
This can compete with any broadcast production. You, and your team, should be immensely proud.
These videos are truly so much better than any documentary you would find on Netflix or TV. Mike and the Oceanliner Designs team deserve so much credit for this amazing work.
I think it is because here it is a labour of love that hopefully gets lots of views instead of an asset made of viewer bait.
That animation of Lusitania sailing in the storm at night is awesome.
it was epic!!!
The people putting this video on did a great job of the one where the
Drop it like it’s hard Lucy 🥳
"Britain not only rules the waves, but waives the rules," is solid gold.
Genius!
wonder what that reporter had to say after Lusitania had that Torpedo shoved down her gullet and dragged128 American citizens with her to the bottom
There was a war on, and everyone was waiving the rules!
I didn’t realize how much I love ocean liners until I stumbled across the Titanic videos. Then I realized I really wanted to see Lusitania covered because I once wrote a screenplay about it out of boredom during world history class after becoming fascinated by it because I was already into war history (especially the First World War).

Got the notification while eating and grabbing takeout before heading to my hotel! Feels good!
I get so stumped at the sheer quality of your videos these days. They look and sound so incredibly marvellous. Just as these beautiful ships deserve to be remembered.
Thanks so much! We have a lot of fun making them :)
Came because I’m interested in Titanic, stayed because I have now developed an interest in all oceanliners.
Thank you, our friend Mike Brady 🫡
The Titanic story only gets better once you understand more about the other ships of the time :)
And I wasn't really interested in Titanic or any other ship before seeing the video about Titanic's engines. I immediately fell for it and became a new passion for me. Simply awesome!
My grandfather was a cook on the Lusitania, fortunately he was not on board during her last voyage..❤
My son and I have a tradition of watching your videos while we work on our Lego projects! He calls you 'the nice ship man' - which is a giant leap forward from the grainy VHS tapes I watched at his age. Thanks for making this content so engaging and accessible. Keep up the great work!

I'm booked for my 3rd trans-Atlantic next March, and I remember my first, thinking what it must have been like back then, to see England slipping away and nothing but ocean ahead for a week. Granted, the QM2 is a totally different beast, but the feeling was there. Sailing into NY harbor at 4am, seeing the Statue of Liberty lit up... it was emotional, to think of the millions of people who did this trip, not for vacation, but for a new life... these classic ladies deserve the honor you've been giving them, not just because of tragedy, but because of the new world they helped create.

Looking at the interior pics it’s just so hard to imagine such a beautiful place being destroyed, seeing all those spaces being filled with water

It's content like this that makes our friend Mike Brady a cut above the rest. Absolutely stunning stuff.
My favourite liner. ❤
Ever since it was love at first sight, courtesy of Dr. Ballard's exploration in 1993, when my age was still in single figures, the 'Lucy' has been the top liner for me. Graceful, elegant and fast, I always considered her the loveliest of all the early 20th century liners.
I was on the Old Head of Kinsale on May 7th, 2015, for the centenary. Even got talking to Capt. Turner's grandson, himself elderly. I laid flowers on the graves of victims in the graveyard of Kinsale church. I was in Cobh (formerly Queenstown) for the evening commemoration where dozens of boats, all covered in lights, slowly processed into the harbour, representing the returning flotilla that raced out to do what they could.😢
The flotilla was watched over by Cunard's representative, the liner Queen Victoria, the only one of the fleet still with an 'ia' ending to the name, marking the occasion by an overnight visit on her latest cruise.
In 2019 I proposed to my then-girlfriend beside the Lusitania's propeller in Liverpool, having just had a meal at the top of the former HQ of White Star Line, across the road from the Cunard Building. She was delusional or stupid enough to say "yes." 😂
And in 2022, having delayed our marriage due to Covid, we finally had our honeymoon...aboard the Cunard liner Queen Victoria, who I had seen in Cobh those years before.
To say that the Lusitania has been a rather integral part of my life in some odd ways is putting it mildly! 😂
Thank you, Mike, for a lovely look back at nearly a decade of a successful career before a tragic ending. The lovely Lucy deserves to be remembered for what she was before May 7th, 1915, as much as she is for that terrible afternoon. 😊
My gods, six minutes in and it is already haunting and alive all at same time. Shivers me timber! Splendid work y'all!!
Yes! Any day Oceanliner Designs uploads is a good day.
Somehow... I have a bad feeling about this story`s end!
But honestly... Oceanliner Designs always are on a quality level so high, that they easily win all competitions with documentations on TV about the same topics. You want to know something about ships and oceanliners? Come here... and answers will be given. The detail of information is so high, that one clearly feels the love for what the OD team is doing here.
The CGI gets better and better, the sound and music is always on point... and the only word, that describes this clip correctly is historical docutainment.
And thank you for making 2 parts... that way I learned a lot more about Lusitania than just her final minutes. And I am even sure, that part 2 will bring up dramatic informations, that are new to me, about her sinking. Because this happens every time, when I watch something from OD.
It's amazing how this is better content than anything on cable TV.
Thank you for covering the career of Lusitania, she has been one of my favorite Oceanliners since I was 5.
Hey Mike
Love your channel mate, this one was a fantastic dive into the history before the tragedy of Lusitania. I’m wondering, would you look into doing a full history of Olympic, from start to end in this style? She’s my all time favourite and would love to see it honoured in this way.
Cheers mate
Another amazing video Mike, the animation just looks beautiful.
I can't wait for part 2.
Amazing work as always, Mike! I'm really loving these background stories of these great oceanliners. First Britannic and now Lusitania. Please, man, don't ever stop.
Mike, you and the crew are absolute legends for continuously putting out content of such high quality. Nice work to all of you.
It is unfortunate that I can only like a video once... Well done, informative and kept me tuned in from start to finish.
This is a Great channel. This and Shipwreck Sunday are favorites.👍
Agreed!
It never ceases to see each production by you and your team just flow so well and the story be so engrossing. Major congrats are in order yet again. Thank you for what you do.
Hello my friend, Mike Brady. Thank you for such a first class video. I felt like I was on the Lusitania. It’s almost like time travel. I’m amazed and impressed once again.
Her sinking WAS arguably her most important contribution to history - but just because it was the most important doesn't mean it's the only thing worth mentioning about her.
Thank you for telling the story of a ship that would, to me, have been fascinating even if she had lived out her service life without major incidents. That, too, is a story worth telling, and you do it well.The video looks great, but you are also a great narrator; a pleasant and somehow reliable voice is really a boon to any TH-camr!
Just need to take a moment to appreciate the production quality of these documentaries Mike. Really so impressive.
@HISTORY get this man a contract please and thank you. Stunning work, sir. Absolutely stunning!
Thanks for doing this, friend Mike!
I have listened to a bunch of episodes and this one i believe is my favorite. I wish i could have been alive during this time to ride one of these beauties.
How can anyone NOT give this video a 'like'?
Congratulations to all concerned. Outstanding. Absolutely outstanding.
What would we all do without a friend like Mike Brady??
Michael this is an amazing video, thank you for writing and producing it.
Animation is stunning.
Sometimes we (I) forget the amount of hard work you all put in to bringing the best videos for the liner community and I may make stupid critiques frivolously -- ignore them, but they come from a place of ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What an incredible video, fascinating and beautifully poignant. Even by Mike Brady’s high standards, the production quality is exceptional. Really looking forward to part 2.
Nooo... I thought this is an old video and Part 2 is already available. I can't wait to watch it. Awesome production!
I have visited the Lusitania’s propellor on display at Liverpool docks and it always gives me such a stir of emotions. Another beautiful video
Mike and the team has really outdone themselves, I keep rewatching that beginning scene, I can’t wait for part 2 I love this
Oh, my lovely Lusi! Thank you for making this!!!!
I'm embarking on the Queen Mary 2 this coming Thursday, and somehow, that makes the Lusitania's story hit home all the more.
This documentary is absolutely stunning! Kudos to you Mike!
Mike this was truly breathtaking in its totality. You create the very best historically accurate yet fully dignified to the souls lost cinematography in my humble opinion. Thank you for being our friend Mike Brady and may you always be. A truly wonderful human being.
Holy heckers! Mike! You and the team have done the most amazing job on this doco! Blown away. Lost for words. The music, the animation, the actual film and pics, the WORDS/script. Gosh! Thank you so much.
I can't wait for hfx studios to finally give us the Lusitania experience. This magnificent video production made me wanna explore the ship even more. Great video Mike!
