As a boy born in Belfast the great shipyard was and still is a massive focal point of the city. I passed it just yesterday and its amazing to think of all the men flooding through those gates morning and evening in years gone by. Its s shame that its mostly all gone now but its still a privilege to be able to see and visit where the mighty Titanic was built any time i chose. Enjoying the video's you make Mike.

My great great grandfather was actually one of the people injured during the building of either Titanic or Olympic. The tragedy was that since he tried to go back to work again despite his injuries, Harland and Wolff wouldn't cover his medical bills and he eventually died due to complications relating to his injury. His wife had to raise five children by herself.

I use computer aided drafting at work every day, and I'm amazed as well ... except on those days the software bogs down or glitches, and more time is spent troubleshooting than producing. Then I'm envious of simple drafting tools and their Library of Congress like workspace. I do wonder how much was just fabricated on the spot rather than drawn in advance.

@@rcnfo1197Very little I suspect. Now that doesn't mean there weren't allowances made when a fabricated piece deviated slightly from what the drawings called for, but in such cases the engineers would be consulted and either a workaround approved or the part scrapped and made over. Like any large project, I would expect there were three sets of drawings made (excluding copies). First a preliminary set, then a working set detailing changes as construction proceeded, and finally, an "as built" set accurate to the finished ship so that the yard had a reference to work from should replacement parts be needed years later in the ship's career.

Modern methods involve laziness. If software said 2+2=5, then 'equals five' would be an unquestioned 'fact'. NASA didn't lose a single Saturn V. Musk lost his big rocket on its first flight. His reaction? Shrug of the shoulders. Whatever. Let's try again. And that's without mentioning Boeing, Musk's competitor! Prioritising 'doing things right' is apparently consigned to history.

I spent over a decade working in a major shipyard, and I'm frankly surprised that only eight men lost their lives building Titanic. Shipbuilding is very hard, dangerous work, even today with OSHA and all the safety gear and regulations, I can only imagine the conditions that those men toiled under.

Mike I just want to say some things about what a testament to how good your channel is. As an Aussie myself, I generally dont like narrators/presenters with an Australian accent, I guess growing up with it I just usually don't enjoy it 🤣 BUT, the way you narrate is just so lovely to listen to and i often just enjoy having playlists of your videos on in the background while I game or work. Im also not super into maritime as a topic in general (aside from the pretty common fascination with Titanic) but i find the way you explain things with such simplicity and genuine love of the topic makes the info you give feel really digestible and understandable and I'm finding myself getting pulled into an interest I didnt have much draw to. So, i just want to say thank you. For being company when I've needed to decompress, for being informative in a way thats accessible and for just coming across as an all around really likeable channel. Keep up the absolutely spectacular work, my dude 🩷

A sad thing about the Olympic, is they favoured younger boys with smaller frames as rivet buckers / peeners because they could get into the smaller spaces inside the hull to buck the rivets as they were driven from the outside. Unfortunately when they applied one of the final plates into position on the olympic, they forgot to that the bucking boy was still inside and with no escape he sadly perished inside the hull. And his skeleton was actually found when they were scrapping the ship.

I've long been curious about the operations of H&W, since all the Titanic books I devoured as a kid did not provide much detail into the subject. With this short video, you have conveyed more interesting information about H&W than I have learned anywhere else. For that, I thank you.

There are many famous and historic companies that still exist, but Harland and Wolff must be one of the coolest. Coming from a tiny nation with nothing anyone has ever heard of, I can't even imagine how cool it must be to work at Harland and Wolff, the same company that built the freaking TITANIC. There can't be many companies left that have built something as special as this.

Apart from H&W, are there any great shipbuilding companies left in Britain? The Queens were built on the Clyde, the land now being used to build warships. The Nimitz-sized cruise ships with thousands of hotel-spec cabins are built and in service in a couple of years. The warships on the Clyde took 5 and a half years to get in the water, and won't be in service for another 3 years! Vickers had forgotten how to build nuclear submarines and had to ask the US for help! Makes you proud of our maritime heritage. Britain's long history of shipbuilding success is all we have. The present and future of British shipbuilding is nothing short of embarrassing.

Yes, what else does Ireland have to offer... Titanic and its sister vessels weren't the last ships to be launched from H&W, it was a regular shipyard for a while but now it's just a small industrial works, mostly putting together windmills.

Worked at the Boeing Everett Factory for a few years. It's wild the things that can be found in an old factory. You'd walk into a room and find a shop you'd never even thought existed, or another room which was used for a project that was scrapped years ago and looks the same as the final day of the project. A lot of talented people do a lot of work to get things built. It's cool to see when you can.

I used to have so many unanswered questions about Titanic and when I found your channel, a great feeling of relief and comfort came over me. Thank you Mr. Brady 😊

Thank you for this spotlight on the men who built Titanic. It's heartbreaking to know their labor, and lives, were so undervalued. Keep up the good work!

A member of a Parrish l served in Dearborn, MI, Jim Robinson s father worked as a carpenter supervisor on the first class staircase on Titanic also the Nomadic, from what l gather he was very very exacting... Jim said his dad thought Harland and Wolff cut corners on the decking of Titanic and he referred to Lord Pirrie in unflattering terms, to give you an idea of how exacting Mr.Robison was when he immigrated to Detroit he built his house entirely with pegs , no nails using the same tools he used on Titanic and Nomadic...l actually got to use them, what a thrill, also Harland and Wolff even built liners for North German Lloyd...great job Mike thanks

I just want to say, Mike is a fantastic story teller! He and his team (I think theres a team?) always put together such a compelling script and narrative for each video, and he delivers it excellently.

I love going down to Queen's Island in Belfast and standing on the spot where Titanic was built. My dad started his working life in Harland and Wolff

My great grandad worked at John Brown in Glasgow and worked on Aquitania and ships like that. He fought in WW1 and then moved to Derby in England.

Pretty cool. I live in Belfast and am regularly down at the Titanic slipways with my daughter where she rides her bike, she actually learnt to ride her bike there next to the museum. We often walk around where old buildings were walk around the dry dock that was built for Titanic. HMS Caroline sits in the dry dock now, but only takes up a fraction, so you can really tell how big Titanic was.

There's a lesson to be learned from how H&W's top managment like Lord Pirrie, Alexander Carlisle, and Thomas Andrews were brought up through the system. By the time they arrived at what we'd call nowadays the "C Suite" level they'd been through all aspects of the business and understood it thoroughly. H&W wasn't alone in this respect either, every business worked the same in those days. There were no "MBA Short Cuts" to top management positions like there are today which in my opinion (and in others as well) are one of the causes of so many contemporary business failures and of businesses you'd never expect to fail, at least here in the US. An MBA means you're persistant in the pursuit of an advanced degree and you're good at math but it doesn't mean you're going to understand the business you find yourself employed by. Was the old way perfect? No, nothing's perfect. But it worked far more often than it failed.

My father was a whitesmith who worked on ships' boilers which were lined with asbestos. (He also had a stint at Harland and Wolf in the 1930/40s.) He died of asbestosis. i hadn't realised how prevalent it was for shipyard workers in general. I really appreciate your content. Always something new to learn.

As always, a well thought out presentation with a good mix of detail, graphics and CGI. This did remind me of the mini-series a few years back that covered building, launching and eventual sinking of this iconic ship. If I recall correctly, the series followed the lives of several characters from common labor (the daily cattle call at the gate for a day's wage, including religious animosity against Catholics) through some of the true craftsmen in various specialized shops right up to the top of the management offices and some of the decisions that had to be made during construction (i.e. the talk about the different rivets types and even some of the plate steel) and finally trying to find enough coal for the initial sailing as I believe the miners were striking for better wages at the time of sailing and the fuel was just not available.

Your vids are getting more and more polished as mini-documentaries. Always look forward to seeing them in my feed.

Hi Mike, love the videos! I live just across the road from what remains of the shipyard. It has always fascinated me, and I really appreciate your videos because there is always a lot more to learn. I have wondered, have you ever been to Belfast? SS Nomadic sits proudly restored, with a lot of original 1st class W.S.L. fittings inside, there's the Titanic museum itself, and the most overwhelming part for me is the graving dock, which truly hits home just how big a ship the Olympic class were. Your recent video on the Titanic's engines was insanely good. My apprenticeship was spent in a nearby coal fired power station, in which the generation of power was largely the same process. Yet, that was on an enormous plot of land. Even more impressive again that this hybrid steam powerhouse was engineered into the hull of a vessel. Thanks again Mike!

There was a series called "The Time Tunnel" from the late 50's. One of the early episodes was to travel back to the time of the Titanic and they had the Sword of Damocles decision to warn the crew or not thus altering the time line. Well worth a look....

Thanks for this, a really interesting video. My dad started in H&W in approx 1938/39 as a heater boy, then when he was old enough began his apprenticeship as an iron turner in the engine works, where he worked for most of his career in the yard. When I started in 1977 as an apprentice electrician, it was still a desired place of employment, as the training received during apprenticeship for each of the trades was of a breadth, and depth, not really available in any other industry. When I worked there, we knew about Titanic, obviously, but there was nowhere even remotely close to the interest expressed in the boat nowadays, mostly due to the James Cameron movie. There was a vague feeling of shame about the boat's fate, which was by no means justified, as you stated in the video. It seems that its only since the film, Belfast has begun to appreciate what the men, and the yard, created.

I knew a number of guys who worked there in the 1960/70s and none of them ever mentioned (or wanted to) the Titanic.

Your stories are classic and informative thanks.

One of the reasons I'm so in love with Titanic is just how incredible her design and construction was. I'm sure thats the case for many people.

I'm glad you will be making a longer version! This video was rather brief and there are many more interesting details worth talking about.

Awesome video! The men who built these ships in those days definitely deserve some credit. Looking forward to fhe next video going in more detail!

When you were describing the types of employment at the shipyard, I got the strange feeling that not much has changed. Some people get into management because they are well-connected. Others work their way up to mid-level supervisorship through skill, talent, luck, and determination. The rest of us are stuck doing one repetitive task. 😢

To anyone wondering what happened to Harland and Wolff, they still exist today but they don't build ships. The last ship they build was The Anvil Point in 2002. They now build green power equipment such as wind turbines and the shipyard where Titan was built is now owned by a private preservation company. In 2019. Harland and Wolff went under with thier Norwegian parent company but were bought out and saved by InfraStrata. Good sequel video to this would be John Brown Shipbuilding. Not to knock Harland and Wolff but they did get a boost at the beginning thanks to Wolff's uncle. John Brown had to work their way up from the very beginning by getting lucky with their second ship. Plus, what happened to the company and shipyard itself is quite interesting as well as rather sad in the case of the former.

9:05 - and this, if you ever build scale models, is also the term to describe someone who has an obsession with accuracy as well as details. Rivet Counter: "Painted nicely, but you should've used Testors 2.9°C Deep Atlantic Blue #10292939 for that part" Model Builder: "stfu, it's the only paint I had"

The Titanic exhibit at the Harland and Wolf shipyard in Belfast is really worth a visit.

Can’t wait for your deeper dive into the special skills needed in the manufacturing of these great ships. Always enjoy your videos.

Oh I can tell already that I'm gonna love this series I've always been fascinated by the ship yard almost as long as I've been interested in the ships themselves

One the most amazing things about shipbuilding, and the physics of buoyancy and displacement, is how they can put all this iron and steel together which combines for an enormous weight, and yet it can still float.

Thank you for another entertaining and informative video. When I look at photos of the Harland & Wolff shipyard from the Titanic era, the Arrol Gantry stands out as a magnificent engineering achievement, in its own right. Just imagining how such a structure was conceived and built, is inspiring.

Highly recommend the titanic museum if you happen to visit, was on my bucket list but underestimated just how much there is to do there. Now I need to plan another trip!

Not sure why i like these videos so much. You have made quite a niche for yourself. Great job.

Man, the workers had a really hard time. 7 minutes per day of bathroom break? That alone is cruel that time. Mike, can you please dive in to story of the day where the workers knew that the Titanic sank? That their masterpiece was swallowed by the North Atlantic just after less than a month when it left the shipyard. I am always looking up for this story on what happenee on the shipyard that day but can't find any :( Thank you for making these wonderful videos. I am always looking forward for your uploads!

Mike there is no one like you in terms of these kinds of videos. I always love the amount of emotion you put into these. Just amazing. Could I suggest a video? I'd love to see one on the workers in the aftermath of the sinking of Titanic. I've always wondered on the various trades and how it affected them. Thanks for all you do.

Yet again, another amazing video. Love your videos. The only videos I’ve been watching since I came home from school is your videos.

I know people sometimes struggle with employment, but we really have no idea in our modern age just how desperate things could get for workers. The scenario you described about the manual labor is exactly what my grandfather witnessed on his family's farm during the Great Depression. Dozens of men would wait outside the barns every morning, praying to be chosen for the day's labor in exchange for a loaf of bread and some eggs to bring home.

Love your videos, Mike. It is so good to have a human face presenting. I'm guessing you put a lot of effort, thought and research into each one. I was born and lived in Belfast a mile or so from the H&W yard. The Drawing Office there was highly thought of and I wanted to work there, but sadly failed the necessary drawing exams. My father worked there as an electrician during WW2 and often reminisced about it, but he, like the other guys I knew who had worked there in the 1960/70s, never liked to talk about the Titanic. The very name remained a shadow over the shipyard for a long time, without justification. Only James Cameron changed that. Another great ocean liner built there (here) was the Canberra. I used to have a piece of formica covered worktop a cousin 'accidentally came home with' while it was being fitted out. Canberra might be a worthy subject for a video. Cheers again!

I would’ve absolutely loved being a Draftsman at Harland and Wolff! Holy Ship! What a great video Mike! Hearing about the people who built these vessels and worked on them is REALLY fascinating!
