Mike's calm, maybe even genteel manner in this age of hype and exaggeration is refreshing. This channel's subject matter is certainly interesting to me, but we all know there are countless Titanic / maritime history channels out there. This one stands apart and has quickly become my preferred go-to source due to his manner and presentation style. Well done Mike, keep up the good work! Also I might add that you are quite an accomplished artist!

All I can say is well done, and thank you. I wish I had more words to describe how great this channel is. Keep up the good work. Love it.

Mike, I am 18, I have loved the Titanic since I was 7. Your channel is so chill and enjoyable, you teach me things I haven’t learned yet. Please keep including those lesser known facts like the swing on the Olympic. 😊

Hey bud, I will be 40 in April and I have been researching Titanic and maritime history in general for the last 33 years. When I was I'm first grade my principal held a Titanic week and we had illustrations and drawings all over the school of the great ship, but I didn't understand it back then. When I was six years old I was in the school's library and I saw a Ken Marschall painting of the Lusitania sinking and I was hooked from then on. I went to our local town library and rented Titanic VHS documentaries and I knew that I was in love with ships and maritime history. When I was 12 years old (in 1995) we first got internet and I wrote an entire 12 page website dedicated to Titanic in Windows Notepad when I taught myself HTML code. It took me three weeks to include tables, floating marquees, pictures, a web counter for visits to the site, and pictures, but I won an award from Yahoo for the most visited amateur website that year and I also had multiple companies wanting to advertise on my personal website. I didn't accept because I clearly didn't build the website to gain anything other than the publics knowledge of the disaster. My wife and I spent our honeymoon on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA back in 2007 and we loved it. Keep your head up and keep your nose in the books, keep researching, and you'll be a good and very knowledgeable man. God bless.

@@Brock_Landers this is a very interesting life you’ve lead! I’ll never stop being curious and asking more questions.

It feels like someone is just talking with me, and explaining something he likes and knows well. It is very calming.

I just realized that YOU are the creator of these drawings. They're fantastic! ..as is your whole presentation. Squarespace too for sponsoring a class act.

Mike, can you make a video perhaps explaining how certain parts deep inside the wreck could still potentially be amazingly preserved, and talk about what could be inside some of these areas?

This increases my nerdiness on the Titanic. Now nobody in my school can match my knowledge about ocean liners.

I’m 57 and have been an ocean liner buff my whole life. I’m astounded that I just learned more about Titanic in a twenty minute video than anything I’ve ever read or watched. Bravo!

Mike, your drawings are amazing, so much detail. Nothing like vintage steam, ships, trains or stationary steam. Mike you would make a great History Teacher. Thanks for your time and hard work.

What a lovely surprise to see a photograph of the Demosthenes. My great grandmother immigrated to Australia aboard the Demosthenes in 1926.

I got to meet Dr. Robert Ballard in 1987. Asked him about the discovery. Had nice talk with him . We found so much more after that . Love your videos

8:35 a lot of early Great Lakes ships had this exact issue and there are countless stories of ships breaking in half due to being too rigid

Nice to hear you also got the news about the notebook, it means the LEGO Titanic standing proud in my livingroom has the accurate amount of blades

☕️ Sunday morning with Michael sharing his latest interesting video… 😊

I have been studying Titanic for a very long time, and each time Mike puts out a Titanic video, I learn something new!

How have I been watching you for almost two years now and failed to realise the sheer magnificent detail of this drawing? The closer you get, the better it gets.

Great video, would be good to see one done with Britannic. Showing all the extra add-ons she had, such as the covered well deck and other additions for her war service.

@spooksbukowski63

2 ай бұрын

It’s so hard to find good info about the britannic,I just started to get into the other white star line ships and one might think there would be plenty of info around but sadly not :(

Even knowing about these features (most of them!) It's still enjoyable to have Mike present such interesting details in his calm collected manner, a true gentleman. Certainly gives me hope for the future!

One of the uses of the bell on the forecastle, still used by mariners on some vessels today, is when anchoring: per shackle (about 15 fathoms or 27,5 meters of chain) the bosun would give a chime (one for the first, two for the second etc). These days UHF hand-held radios are in use but on some ships they still use the old method. People sometimes wonder why the ship's bell is located there rather than on the bridge. This is one explanation. The real reason however is that on a vessel over 100 m in length, in restricted visibility, certain vessel conditions (such as vessel at anchor or vessel aground) require sound signals from a gong from the stern and a bell from the bow. In those cases the bells don't just replace the vessel's sound signal. The use while carrying out anchor procedures follows from this requirement.

Just recently found this channel and I am not even that into ships, but the neat presentation, 3d modelling, information overload and zero 'uhhs' and 'ahhs' sucked me in! Great job, this channel will be huge!

This is what I like best about your channel is that you get into the details and lesser known items on the ship. You also find unique and rare photos to help show what you are talking about and not the usual stock photos of the ships that any enthusiast would have seen already. I always find myself going back and pausing on those photos, like the one of the backup anchor being installed on one of the ships, or the pedestal phone on the forecastle.

I always love watching these videos with the chill music in the background

He explains things like you'd want it explained,simply with a little humor mixed in to keep you interested,all in all a great job!👍👍👍

Here's a question for you I'd love to see you do a video on. How did the Titanic (and all ships really) keep the rudder and propellers watertight? Huge moving parts below the waterline connected to the interior of the ship yet they don't flood. How is it done? What's the history of that particular technology and how (if at all) has it changed and improved over the decades? Thanks in advance if you read this.

I commented on another video earlier today talking about how I only found this channel through random KZread shorts the past 2 days but damn I am so glad I found this channel. I have loved this ship for as long as I can remember (I'm 25 now) and have so many books and stuff on Titanic and Olympic etc. I have learned so many new facts from this video. The picture of the swing on the Olympic blew my mind. I am amazed. How have I never heard of this channel?? And how do you find all of these facts???

I've recently discovered your channel and LOVE it. The quality and presentation of your content is excellent and what I appreciate most is that you discuss a lot of lesser or unknown information about these ships. We have all heard the same old stories over and over again but your focus on lesser known ships and less (or never) discussed aspects of the Titanic is so refreshing. I love what you do and your art is stellar!

I've been in love with the Titanic since I was 9. These videos gave me an insight into the Titanic's deeper history. In my opinion, no modern cruise ship will ever beat Titanic's luxury. I've built multiple replicas on Minecraft and built multiple models of the ship and studied the ship from prow to stern flagpole. But Mike has taught me more than any book could teach me. I'm 16 years old and I will always make the Titanic a part of my life and family

Myke, your channel rapidly has become one of my favorite channels on KZread, keep it up. Amazing content.

Love going into technical details like this. Makes you appreciate both how much has changed and how much hasn't.

This is the first time learning that that famous photo of the Olympic's propellors dates from 1929! I had always assumed it was in 1911! Thanks for the great fact!

That was a terrific tour of the outside, thank you! I didn't know about the pipes on the funnels being for water pressure regulation, or that Olympic had swings on the after A deck. There's ALWAYS something new to learn about these ships.

Nicely done Mike. I hadn't noticed that the ships bell on the forward mast was positioned at the front on the Olympic until you mentioned it! Obviously on checking on your brilliant Olympic print that I have you have placed it as you said! I think the small tank on the roof of the officers quarters was to supply the officers with a constant water supply and acted like a header tank. I would be interested if you were ever able to do a video on the Olympics' boat winches at some point. I have never been able to find much information on these. I believe they had several upgrades up to 1934 but it seems slim pickings both in visuals and documented stuff! Anyway that was a nice little briefing on some of the more interesting parts of the Olympic class. Regards JH ⚓

Incredible timing. I'm right in the middle of a binge of all your Titanic videos. Fantastic work and quality, thank you for these.

I am a huge history junkie and always appreciate your in depth videos on this ship and others you have covered. It's always super relaxing to watch- you have a calm but captivating voice and great music choices in the background. Thank you for another great video!

I've just stumbled onto your channel a few days ago, scince then I am absolutly amazed bout your knowledge of all these tiny little details, like where to get this much information from?

There are a lot of Titanic technical books that document such details, but also looking at deck plans and other technical drawings of the ship you can learn and understand what the purpose of many components were.

Thank you for this new information I had never even considered before. It’s amazing how advanced some of these features were for their time. To think that only 50 years before many ships were still wood. Great work and the drawings are excellent.

These videos are so well done. Please don't stop!

One of your best videos yet Mike. Thank you.

Hi, Mr. Brady! Your knowledge of this mighty vessel is astonishing. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I thank you for sharing it with us. A hug from Uruguay

One of my favourite channels on YT, this one. Always fascinatingly informative and expertly presented! Many thanks to you!

I've enjoyed watching several of your videos. My late brother was enamored of Titanic. I served on an aircraft carrier in the Navy. We lost steering once and I had to run from the bridge on the 09 level to after steering on the 4th deck to control the ship from there. You can imagine me sliding down the ladders and yelling for people to get out of my way on the run! I saw the Titanic exhibit in Atlanta some years ago. Fascinating to see what's been recovered.

Mike, your videos are some of my absolute favorites! The calm music, the material, the ambience! All I’m missing is a cup of tea!

Your channel is now my favorite KZread channel. You are so professional and knowledgeable. I know absolutely nothing about ships but I love learning about them especially the titanic. Please keep making videos on the titanic. I’m so enthralled with everything about this ship and it’s whole history. It’s a weird emotional thing that I can’t explain

Hello there! Just wanted to tell you that despite me not being a ship enthusiast or anything, i enjoy watching your videos because of the whole setup. Your clothing, music and overall production of the video sets someone back into these times which makes them so enjoyable. Everytime i see a new one came out i'm excited for the upcoming relaxation coming from it. You could say it's kind of ASMR for me.

Another great Video Mike loved the small Overlooked Information you covered well done!

Assuming this is done in Illustrator(?), the number of points in these detailed illustrations has to be staggering. It’d be really interesting to see what one of your ship drawings looks like when flipped to outline mode ❤

Absolutely loved that ep! Really interesting! Things I thought I knew or things i took for granted were revisited and spoken about. So good!!!!

YES!! Love the return to the drawings, hope to see more of them

Another lovely vid Mike. I remember seeing the auxiliary steering wheel on the Queen Mary. Located on a lower deck far aft near the massive rudder gears. The Normandie also had problems with her three bladed propellers causing vibration. Replaced by four bladed.

Fabulous illustrations, and I always love your explanations. Cheers!

I can listen to every detail on this ship for days ….Never gets boring

these more casual streams are true gems, Mike

Love all the videos. Design secrets of Lusitania and titanic are super cool. I would love to see something similar on Aquatania, such as it’s bridge transformations. Keep up the good work!

So many fascinating facts! Thanks for this Mike!

Mike, I have yet to watch one of your videos where I didn’t learn a dozen or so new things that I never knew… even after many years of my researching and studying ocean liners. Many kudos to your skills and diligence!

Mike, any chance you can do the Union Steamship Company's NIAGARA? She was built on the next way to AQUITANIA and launched in 1913. She had the same machinery layout as Titanic, and was originally nicknamed THE TITANIC OF THE PACIFIC. Hastily altered to QUEEN after a certain April morning. She was sunk by a mine in the Hauraki Gulf in 1940, with a large amount of New Zealand's gold on board. Later salvaged and well worth a documentary.

Well-presented Mike,,,,THANK YOU!

As always, wonderful informative content, and production quality.

A good example of using the backup steering position, albeit in warship form, was HMS Exeter's experience at the Battle of the River Plate. After her primary steering at the bridge was knocked out, orders were relayed by shouts from the aft conn via sailors to the steering room right at the stern.

@kyleshape8645

RMS Carmania while operating as a Q-ship had her bridge shot away and set alight by SMS Cap Trafalgar's AA guns. The crew were subsequently forced back to the aft steering position.
