    Tom, I’ve followed your work since you were designing ships for Virtual Sailor over ten years ago. So amazed to see where you’re at now, the work you’ve completed. Here’s to ten more years, and many more.

      @@MrBibi86 I also wonder what happened with that. But, in my opinion THG is finished. It's almost like every time there's a new version of Unreal Engine, they want to build a new hull. And now they're undertaking a huge painstaking task of recreating the hull of the ship plate by plate. It's sad to say, but I have serious doubts the game will ever actually come out and be sinkable.

    I always was fascinated by lusitania she seemed a lot more Victorian looking than her rivals titanic and Olympic. I’m sad she’s not as well documented as titanic is but this will allow us to see angles of the ships interior that haven’t been seen by human eyes in over a century. What you’re doing here is beautiful and I thank you for the hard work and dedication. You really re opened one of my childhood passions for beautiful ships like this.

      Her maiden voyage was 1907, they laid the keel down in 1904, which means they were designing her before that. So she's really the last of the Victorians in a way.

    Hey Tom, I have just stumbled across your videos on lost ship history and glad I did so, whilst watching your video on the S.S Sachem and through this one I wondered if you had heard of the Edmund Fitzgerald, an American Great Lakes freighter. She went down in November of 75 now sitting at the bottom of Lake Superior with an eerie tale to follow that I’m sure you’ll find as interesting as I do. Your project looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see the finished product.

About a decade later (mid to late 1920's) my father actually played piano on cruise ships. This whole era fascinates me. I've gone right over to Spotify, but I'd love to have more information about the music, the performers, sheet music availability, everything. I'm just fascinated, and so glad you've gone into this much detail.

    What a thoroughly gorgeous and phenomenal endeavour of art that the Part-Time Explorer Team has created that brings the RMS Lusitania back to life. The details and digital mastery are extraordinary and tell the story of an entire age and society that was thought lost. The music and survivor voices ensure her story will live on. Having literally disembarked off RMS Queen Mary 2 this morning in Southampton, we met a lady who had joined the Cunard liner MV Queen Victoria for the 100th anniversary commemoration of the sinking of Lusitania. She said it was the most poignant and memorable cruise she had been on with the families of those lost and survivors, dignitaries and the people of Cobh/Queenstown in attendance with prominent roles. We realised last night that our disembarkation day was the 108th anniversary of the sinking, quite coincidentally. Upon learning of a deep interest in the human story of this great ship, she expressed her wish to gift the menus from that voyage to my archive and items from Lusitania, including a window from the starboard forward boat deck. For those on the Part-Time Explorer Team with an interest, you have our utmost support. Many thanks for your time, dedication and commitment to bringing this important chapter in history back to life and the attention of future generations.
