@@PartTimeExplorer One of my earliest memories of the titanic was your masterpiece of a Lego animation of the titanic if it wasn’t for that I doubt I’d be into the ship today

_Vestal_ was seriously damaged by the explosion of _Arizona_ right next to her, but "practically annihilated" is a bit of an exaggeration. She was set afire and, though she was able to get underway following the explosion, had to be intentionally grounded to keep her from sinking. However, despite her own damage, she rendered aid to survivors trapped within the overturned wreck of _Oklahoma_ in the attack's immediate aftermath, and was back in action within a few weeks, having been repaired in place by her own crew rather than take up repair dock facilities; and served with distinction in the Pacific for the rest of the war. She was decommissioned in 1946 and scrapped in 1950. My favorite part of the _Vestal_ story during the attack is that a number of men on deck were blown overboard by the _Arizona_ explosion, including her captain, Commander Cassin Young. With the ship on fire and probably sinking, the captain missing and presumed dead, and all hell generally breaking loose, the remaining officers and crew were preparing to abandon ship when who should clamber back aboard but a very wet and annoyed Commander Young, who reportedly inquired, "Where the hell do you gentlemen think you're going?"

A letter from Lusitania victim Alice Loynd that was found on her husband's body gave the colors of the Lusitania on the final votage and she said "The funnels are black, and the ship where it was white is now grey"

Awesome video sir; looking forward to that Lusitania experience. After Britannic Patroness of the Mediterranean our expectations are very very high. By the way, we are here indeed for the models but also for listening you talk and telling us things, you have the gift of storytelling, everything you say no matter how boring it might be, you make it sound interesting.

I want to see the Sultana and the LZ129 Hindenburg next. The Sultana was a paddle steamer that sank in 1865. She was heading up the Mississippi to a port in Illinois when her boiler exploded. Fire spread throughout the ship and many of her passengers had to jump into the freezing river, where they froze to death or drowned in the raging waters. Their bodies washed up in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri.

I'm here to listen to your ramblings!😄 I've been loving to listen to your videos as background while I crochet. I get some interesting history education, great music choices, good sense of humor where appropriate, and interesting video when taking a break for my hands. I'm pleased to have discovered your channel when searching for documentary videos to watch/listen to.

I am so glad to hear the USS Vestal mentioned, albeit briefly. It is a valent ship and valent crew that served a major role in world war 2 and Pearl Harbor, with a phenomenal story to go along with it. And despite all of that, neither its name nor its story has been told or heard of many time. So I am always happy whenever it is mentioned in relation to Pearl Harbor.

Arizona resident here. University of Arizona has one of the Arizona's bells. Part of her signal mast, an anchor, a main cannon barrel and part of the superstructure are on display down at the capitol building in Phoenix. The two after turrets were removed and placed on Oahu as coastal defense batteries but scrapped. 2 barrels were installed on the USS Nevada as stated. Most of the material removed from the Arizona is stored on Ford Island, and can be requested to set up a memorial.

5:18, The Olympic didn’t pick up survivors from the U-103 sinking. She was under orders to keep her speed up as it was her best defense against further attack. The survivors were picked up later by another vessel.

I like the beard! I'm super Excited for whatever Lusitania themed thing is coming up. Thank you for working hard for all these years just to bring all these Titanic related models, prints, demos and stories.

The real reason why Titanic sunk was because the iceberg was made out of Legos. Everybody knows that once you step on the Lego it hurts badly. we can only imagine the sheer paint Titanic was in but one thing that I can clearly see is that this video is amazing. Great work Tom, glad to see that you're okay. Stay safe and keep your hopes high and your head up higher.

Hey Tom! When u asked what we’re having for dinner, I was in the middle of my grub. I had a nice bean and cheese gordita and two steak tacos 😋! I enjoyed the last video with you making legos. So when I saw Legos in the icon, I knew this was gonna be another hearty lengthy video! And you know it’s gonna be good! I am definitely looking forward to you’ve upcoming content. Again, thank you Tom!💙

Great video! When I got to the end I had to double check that you had the beard when you started the video, haha. I appreciate the history you include while doing the builds. For instance, it never crossed my mind that Arizona's guns and superstructure had been removed after the sinking and that the guns had been reused. That was super interesting! I'm looking forward to your next LEGO video, especially the SS United States!

Insane ramblings are the best ramblings.

are you sure the funnels on the Lusitania are grey and black, @yamato30 made a video addressing what color the funnels were when she sank, he said that they were completely black when she sank .

Im a huge fan of history it was my favourite lesson back in the day at school im a massive fan of yours and the entire titanic honor and glory team wishing you all the best

The sub the Olympic ran down and sank was U-103, just like you said, fired torpedoes at the Olympic, Captain of the Olympic said "Oh, I have had it with these stupid subs!", chased it down as the U-103 started to crash drive in an attempt to turn a parallel course, but there was no time before the port propeller did a elbow drop on the u-boat's pressure hull. And to correct you at 5:16, Olympic did not stop to pick up the 35 survivors, but a distress flare was spotted by the destroyer USS Davis.

FINALLY I LOVE LEGO SHIPS THANK YOU 🙏

I bought both the Edmund Fitzgeald and the Britannic models from Histobrick, they look different to the first version that you built in the previous video, instead of the colored tiles on the side, the green lines and the red crosses are actually printed on the white bricks instead of using the red and green tile bricks. What's really awesome is that you would build the boilers that goes with the ship and the engines got a re-color, and the difficulty is on-point; it is difficult like the Titanic. The Edmund Fitzgerald has a maroon body, but still kept the same design, there were five printed pieces, four of them included the name and the yellow rounded 1x2 with the red star and the letter C in it. It's also built in halves instead of three pieces. The sides also features uses flat pieces to represent the railings on the side of the ship, and you can actually simulate how the ship broke in two. For those sets, I got a wooden bamboo box that keeps all of the stuff inside.

Wonderful video, you can find many of the USS Arizona’s artifacts displayed at the Arizona State Capitols museum such as a the flag flown a part of the superstructure. Outside of the capitol in the adjacent park area they have the signal mast, a gun barrel, and an anchor from the Arizona.

For dinner I had coconut cream pie from this spectacular southern pie shop. Also, that lego Titanic video was what sustained me all those years ago.

Remember, you are never, ever too old for LEGO!

Yea, so many good memories

"What an ABSOLUTE Chad." -Tom 4:40

The reason for why the Lusitania is such a massive part of History is that the sinking of the Lusitania is what really shocked a whole bunch of Americans during the first World War

I just looked up the kits. They are fascinating and well done but a bit pricey more than usual I should say. Looking forward to watching you build the USS Enterprise.

Great video! I actually said in your previous one that they should add the exact same ships you’re assembling here! Maybe in their vast lineup they’ll add on the SS Daniel J Morrell, MV El Faro, USS Monitor and the CSS Merrimack to their collection.

The USS Arizona is My favorite ship she is wonderful

15:46 *That is me on a daily basis xD*

Great job with olympic

Great video as always, Tom. I'm curious as to how Parks resolved the question of Arizona's hull color. Several sources, including a Honolulu Star Bulletin article from 12/7/2006, say that it was "discovered" to be 5-S Sea Blue, not gray as previously assumed, and some survivors concur. (One said that he helped paint it the new color shortly before the attack.) Other sources say it's still inconclusive. Since you mention this as a major point on which Parks assisted HistoBrick, I wonder whether you have any more details.

So sad I missed out on Dazzle Olympic. She's my favorite. Thanks for showcasing these kits for us, Tom. Would not have found Histobricks without you. Edit: I checked with (other) Tom from Histobricks, HMT Olympic is expected to be released again later this year. So excited! Just ordered Great Eastern and Titanic, plus a little Nomadic

To Director Lynskey and the comments section: I noticed that HMT can also stand for "Hired Military Transport." Which is preferred? I prefer HMT standing for "Hired Military Transport," as it shows that "HM" does not necessarily have to stand for "His/Her Majesty's," and no matter how much a community thinks things are set in stone, there'll always be something, in this case, a prefix, that can subvert expectations.

I hope they make SS Pendleton, an oil tanker that split in half in the middle of a storm in the 1950s. Over 30 men were trapped on her slowly sinking stern, with all but one rescued by four brave sailors in a tiny boat built for 12 (including rescue crew). Watch 2016s The Finest Hours staring Chris Pine to see this amazing story.

My mom saw the Arizona in Hawaii, she hates flying, and doesn't particularly like being in Hawaii cause of the humidity. But she did want to go and visit the Arizona at least once.
