My husband and I were introduced to you, Mr. Brady by our son. He got tired of us listening to silly trivia on RUclips. We got him interested in Great Lakes Ships as a child. Now as an adult he returned the favor and introduced us to your Oceanliner Designs.
@@AP-vy3rl The one channel I contribute to (albeit modestly) each month. Wish I could do more. Top quality historical research and Mike's just an excellent presenter and nautical artist / animator.
Thank you for including the story about Ismay. He did not deserve all the hate that was dumped on him. It sounds like his own conscience was more than enough to bear.
I so agree with you. And to be honest: who wouldn't try to save themselves in his shoes? Also, there were enough men who didn't care about women and children first.
It's always been hard for me to understand how an absolute mensch like Marion Davies could love a libelling POS like William Randolph Hearst. Rest in peace, J. Bruce Ismay. The world is learning the truth.
326 videos and counting Mike! 5. The Oldest Active Vessel 0:55 4. The History of the SS Rex 10:08 3. The Shipyard that built Titanic 25:03 2. History's Deadliest Submarine 39:36 1. Scandal Aboard Titanic 48:45
Mike... I'm a 10-year US Navy Veteran and I'm so impressed with your channel and presentations. I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Michigan, which I'm sure you're aware, has its own rich naval history. Should you ever make your way to the Great Lakes State I hope that we can meet ... I would be happy to buy you a beer at the local pub and could guide you along to Michigan's wonders. Our histories are preserved by the ambitious youth such as yourself. God speed and keep up the great work!
I got so surprised a minute ago because I was watching a titanic documentary and then Mike Brady just appeared out of nowhere. Made that documentary 10 times better
On a road trip and saw this, kids are fighting in the backseat over what to watch for the 4 hour trip and I literally turned this on on their tablet and said "Oceanliner Designs! Stop arguing!" 😂 I have my headphones in to listen (my spouse is driving). So thanks for the long video. This should entertain them for a bit 😂😂😂
Thank you for your hard work. It's nice to get straightforward information and history without the nonsense some creators feel the need to include. You're always at the top of my list.
Hi Mike, I have loved and watched many of your videos and am incredibly interested in ocean liners thanks to you. I have a video idea that I think could be fascinating, you could do a video about the SS Nomadic, the only White Star Line ship remaining and Titanic’s smallest sister ship. She has had a very interesting life and career and is currently in Belfast as part of the Titanic Museum.
@jamworthy14 I can assure you, a genuine friend like Mike Brady, with positive energy and a great attitude, will never get old... Don't get tired of hearing someone say "your friend"
yet another wonderful video. Like many, I've been fascinated with the Titanic story for almost all of my life. I've read countless books, seen most of the movies, and visited many of the exhibitions that have been staged here (in the United States). Your description of Bruce Ismay's actions before, during, and after the sinking square solidly with the facts as I've seen them. Thanks for giving the poor soul an honest accounting.
A good friend of mine was the ABS inspector who condemned the salvage boat called the Salvage Chief. The Salvage Chief was the boat the rescued the Exxon Valdez and the New Carissa off the Oregon Coast. Thw Salvage Chief would make a good video Mr Brady.
You are outstanding, I love hearing about maritime history from your channel. A few of my family went down with the titanic, some recovered and buried at sea (surely a good topic have you not covered it before) and some in the engine room. You gave some fascinating insights into this era and what their final days might have been like. The sea is an enternal frontier, beautiful and ruthless in equall measure
Whenever I hear his voice saying that iconic phrase about being our friend, my anxiety and stress levels drop. I'm serious. I can rewatch a few videos and I feel so much better stress-wise. I've even used some of my favorite videos to drift off the sleep. He needs to record a full length audiobook on Titanic...that would be wonderful!
Mike you're awesome narrator.. seems like you're getting a big family of people that love you.. and I'm pretty sure that's the way we became the Brady bunch ..😊
Mike i just wanna say thank you. Im the only one out of my friends who actually cares about naval history, and its nice to come home and unwind to your videos. You make content that is interesting and intriguing and thats alot more than other content creators. Keep it up brotha
@8:12 -- About the DSV-2 Alvin... It really ISN'T the submersible that originally launched in 1964. Every component of that mini-sub has been replaced at least 2-3 times. She's on her third pressure sphere now! About every 5 years, the Alvin is completely taken apart and inspected for wear. During these overhauls and inspections, components get retired or upgraded. This costs some money and takes time during which the mini-sub is out of commission. There were 3 operational Alvin-class mini-subs at one time but only the original Alvin is still being used. The other two are in a museum (DSV-3 Turtle) or in long-term storage (DSV-4 Sea Cliff) and will likely never be used by the US Navy or Woods Hole again. It's the "original Alvin" in name and hull number alone. Even the sailing frigate USS Constitution has more remaining original wood (less than 10% at this point, I believe) in her hull. The question with rebuilds is when does a ship STOP BEING the actual ship that was originally commissioned?!?
Its a "ship of Theseus" dilemma, but theres an easy answer: it remains the original vessel unless the commissioning body responsible for obtaining it relieves it of service. DSV-2 Alvin is still DSV-2 Alvin, even with all new construction.
What a really great collection of favorites! I continue to be in awe of your in-depth research and knowledge. The information about Ismay, I had absolutely no idea. What a story, riches to riches, to absolute a horror. “Survivor’s Guilt”, can cleave the soul, just as quickly as an iceberg cleaved Titanic.
There was something about early powered flight that really brought out the pettiness in people. The Smithsonian spent an embarrassingly long time insisting that Samuel Langley had really been the first to crack the mysteries of powered flight, never mind the fact that the closest that the Langley Aerodrome ever got to flying was a very public belly-flop into the Potomac. Determined not to admit that they’d wasted the modern equivalent of $1.6 million on what was effectively a soggy paperweight, in 1914 the Smithsonian got Glenn Curtiss to test the machine again and he proved that it could indeed fly… just barely and only after major alterations. Orville, the surviving Wright brother, was so ticked off by their chicanery that he loaned the 1903 Wright Flyer to the Science Museum of London rather than allow it to be displayed in the Smithsonian as the *second* powered flying machine. The dispute dragged on until 1942 when the Smithsonian finally admitted defeat and published the alterations Curtiss had made to the Langley machine. The Wright Flyer returned to the States in 1948 and the Langley Aerodrome had to shuffle off its pedestal and accept its rightful place as just another prototype that never lived up to the hype.
Remakable insight on Bruce Ismay. I hope this is better documented, formally to restore, most publicly, the honour of a press-smeared gentleman. A great video, indeed!
My friend Mike Brady I’m so proud of your success and as a fellow Aussie it’s nice to see such a well spoken young man without a rank accent, onwards and upwards always brother. Love uncle woody from NQ
I myself am TRYING to get through your back-catalog. SO MANY great videos and very educational...I live in the mid-west (USA) but the sea has always fascinated me. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT CONTENT! Cheers!
Thank you Mike for yet another excellent video, you are definitely THE man for information on the Titanic!. Thank you so much for telling us the real truth about the tragically unfairly maligned J.Bruce Ismay
It's heartbreaking Ismes reputation :( I can't imagine how he must have felt. It's the worst that it still continues to this day... I'm really glad at least here in this corner of the internet his honor is restored
The thruth about Ismay seems correct to the history I learned as a young man. At the end of the day the Ship's Captain is ultimately resonsible for the ship, passengers and cargo.
Hi Mike I've been following you for quite a while now. I live about 40 minutes from Belfast where Titanic, Olympic and Britanic were built. I have always been intrigued with the Titanic especially. I love to watch your channel. As I write this I am watching Titanic In Colour 2 episode documentary and I was so pleased to see you talking in documentary 😊 your friend and avid you tube follower Geraldine 😀
There is more to the Harding Mitchell feud, when the Coal Miners in West Virginia went on Strike Mitchell was loading poison gas on Bombers to attack them it was Harding's intervention that saved this from happening, thereafter Harding was firmly in the anti Mitchell..As always Great Mike thank you
Do you have a video on the Marconi device? Since it played a huge role in Titanic I’d love to see that. Also thank you for setting the record straight on Mr. Ismay, I hope any future portrayals will no longer show him as a villain. ❤
Thank-you Mike & crew, Kommuna is my favourite active warship, no question. ⚓ So much so that I truly hope she remains safe during this war. Luckily she's not an important target or especially useful atm, so fingers crossed. Thanks Mike & crew.
Hey, it's our friend, Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs! I know this may get swept up in the flood of comments, but might I suggest a few stories I know of to cover? One is that of the earlier history of aircraft carriers, from their time as seaplane tenders and makeshift conversions to the development of proper modern flattops. Another is that of IJN Shinano, the forgotten third Yamato sister and USS Archerfish, the submarine that sank her and to this day holds the record for the largest ship sunk by a submarine for it. On a slightly more civilian side there's Saddam Hussein's secretive and bizarre megayacht Al-Mansur which was critically damaged by Super Tomcats from VF-2 "Bounty Hunters" in the Shatt al-Arab river in Basra on March 27th, 2003
Thank you for these fascinating stories. I found the section on the training of the Titanic shipyard workers, especially Andrews, particularly interesting. Great photos! It seems particularly odd that they were all wearing 3-piece woollen suits instead of what we think of as work clothes today. I guess a shipyard in Belfast was a pretty breezy place.
My grandpa was in the US Air Force. He fought in Vietnam and was a radio jockey. (Think Robin Williams in Good Morning, Vietnam.) His rank was staff sergeant. ❤
As I have mentioned before the submersible Alvin although still in service is very much like Triggers broom. Thanks again for making me see Ismay in a totally different light. In your 300 videos have you ever made one about the Canberra one of my favourite ships.
Mike, interesting story about the man who died at the launch of Titanic. My grandfather told me a story, his father, my great-grandfather died in an accident on the day Olympic was launched, his name was Thomas Young Gibson - according to the story my grandfather told me, apparently great-granddad was hit by the drag chains, dying pretty much instantly - my dad never knew his paternal grandfather. I've never been able to find evidence of this, I'm wondering if you're maybe able to find something...
Mike I love your content always a fascinating guide through a vessels history. Please please please post a video on the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship RFS Argus.
Absolutely wild to think just how obstinate the U.S. Military was in their opposition to the implementation of aircraft in combat. Especially considering how vital they proved to be during the war and to this day!
Thank you for a wonderful and informative video. Your telling of the J Bruce Ismay story was fascinating and really informative. It goes to show that we believe the first lie. Thank you.
After careful consideration over a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast with raspberries, blueberries, brown sugar and butter mixed in, it makes like a homemade cliff bar, I've determined that Mike Brady is indeed, our friend.
After careful consideration, we of the upper class in society would like to remind you that consumption of the commoners grule for your morning meal in no way affords you the luxuries of our fabulous lifestyle. There is nothing glam about your soggy bowl of Quaker Oats. By attempting to pass it off as so much more than it actually is, it seems to cry out, pathetically, the fact that you are nothing more than a pretentious ass. In other words, in a language which you are sure to understand, no on gives a sh!t what you ate for breakfast. Good day, sir.
_Kommuna_ might well have also not seen a whole lot of days at sea through the years compared to other vessels of similar age. For special missions only, it theoretically wouldn't have a lot of reason to leave port without some compelling recovery. The possible lack of regular deployment might have simply not put a lot of stress on the vessel.
In the Billy Mitchell story, you overstated the man's contributions to military aviation. His tests on decommissioned warships were a bit of a faux pas on Mitchell's part, as they failed to sink said warships as effectively as Mitchell had pitched. I think one test against a battleship took hours and multiple runs to sink.
My husband and I were introduced to you, Mr. Brady by our son. He got tired of us listening to silly trivia on RUclips. We got him interested in Great Lakes Ships as a child. Now as an adult he returned the favor and introduced us to your Oceanliner Designs.

I so agree with you. And to be honest: who wouldn't try to save themselves in his shoes? Also, there were enough men who didn't care about women and children first.

Excellent to see. 😊
No wayyyy!! Thats so cool!
I saw this on the titanic reddit sub
Oh wow, good for our friend Mike Brady! I'm sure he's proud of that :D

I love how you saved Bruce ismys integrity. God bless you and him. 😢
I'm glad we have Mike helping to clear Ismays name.
Saw you were on the TV in the Titanic subreddit, congrats Mike! Truly a knowledgeable person worthy of TV interviews
So much of this was new to me. Really got something to think about in all the segments, but especially the one on the shipyard workers.

Hate to break the news but the USS Constitution is the oldest serving naval vessel in the world as it is still in active service.
