LEGO Titanic, Britannic, Carpathia, and Edmund Fitzgerald!

A bit of a side-step from what I usually do on this channel, but given my history with "Lego Titanic", I couldn't resist doing an in-depth build and analysis of these fantastic kits from HistoBrick. If you're interested, you can find them all right here:

Tom, your lego Titanic stop motion was my childhood. You got me into stop motion all these years later. Thank you.

[@noahdavidson8733]

I have to agree with the other sentiments, Tom. I remember watching your LEGO Titanic and Lusitania videos when I was 7, and they inspired me to make my own LEGO stop motion animations and furthered my interest in ships. It’s hard to believe that was so long ago but I’m grateful to see you still in this field of study.

Yea and it sunk from a wave and their were 29 or 39 people all men who died a massive wave almost a tsunami it then at Lake Superior in November in November it’s very stormy at Lake Superior it sunk from a wave at stern and went forward bow and went under ASAP then as it was going under the bow hit the bottom like Brittanic but it split when it hit the ground and all 29 or 39 men that died when the guys went to its wreck they knew all of the men died and they hit their bell from ship to honor all the men who died on that ship it was sooo tragic

[@Timmyvr_69]

Also they replaced the bell with a bell that has the name engraved on it of the people,who died it was hard cuz it was sunk due to waves but go visit the wreck and go to the museum and see the real bell

[@Ekircher5]

Ironically, the Edmund Fitzgerald was also known as "The Titanic of the Great Lakes."

[@Jaxonhumphrey2011]

True

[@azul93gt38]

Before or after it sunk?

[@25Erix]

Fun fact about the Fitz: she was longer than the place she went down in was deep. It's likely that her bow was forced down by waves, hit the bottom, broke apart at the surface, and sank like that. She lost a lot of length when she snapped as well. I personally think it was a combination of hull damage and rogue waves that did her in. She was 23 years old when she went down and I think she was in need of dry dock repairs around that time. As for ship gender, they're referred to as female no matter what the name is. The German Navy, however, refers to their ships as males. It's just a tradition that seems to be fading just a little bit.

[@benjaminpratt7547]

Same with HMHS Britannic

[@danielplowright5701]

I wonder if some ships you have to refer to them as “they”.

[@25Erix]

@@danielplowright5701 I doubt it. So very much. Not every language has gender-neutral terms. Case is point: Spanish. Nothing but gendered terms. When looking a mix of male and female anything, they default to the male terms. Just how Spanish developed.

[@logangauthier7881]

I live is MI

[@jack1701e]

Like the sub Kursk, to think these ships were longer than the the water they sank in was deep. We don't usually get a visual example of how deep or shallow the sea is but the lengths of these vessels show that, make it seem not that much. Tragic, all of them tragic.

[@trainknut]

No way... that was the exact video that got me into Titanic when I was a kid, I used to watch it over and over. I watched the Lusitania video a bunch too, I liked the concept of a survivor of Titanic being on another ship while it sank, which led me to the real story of Violet Jessop who wasn't on Lusitania, but did survive the Britannic. My Titanic KZbin experience just came full circle, like 12 years later, I haven't even thought about that video in years.

[@Your_Local_Express_Locomotive]

Titanic was actually supposed to set sail on March 10th, but since Olympic had that collision with the HMS Hawk, Titanic had to give Olympic her propeller

[@JJMHigner]

I dont do anything like this anymore. I do, however, highly appreciate the times when i did, as they helped to pave the way for the maritime ship artworks of my own design for the last 26 years. They are important life skills for children and are just as good for seniors.

[@Reshumbox]

that Lego Titanic video is literally one of the first videos I saw on KZbin, still watch it every now and then for nostalgia's sake.

Man when I was a kid I was a real titanic nerd. And I watched your lego titanic video again and again

[@Spindrift-id1ez]

I like your comment about kids not building plastic model kits anymore, That's all there was when I was a kid back in the 60's and 70's (no vid games) , And whether it was my carrier field in the Air Force or whatever i now do in my older age of life, I attribute my ability to easily fallow complicated instructions and paying attention to detail to all the model kits I enjoyed building in my youth. And now that I'm getting ready to retire, I'm looking forward after 30 some years in getting back into building model kits. I might even go after that big Trumpeter Titanic model.. Actually had a big Titanic kit for Christmas one year but I was way too young to do anything with it but sloppily glue it together then take it to our little plastic swimming pool and play hit the Ice Berg

I have the smaller of the two COBI kits, and I like it, but the bright orange funnels annoy me a little, and the fact that some of the pieces make an iceberg feels like questionable taste. (I can already hear half of the Internet's shining wits asking solicitously, "Too soon?")

[@1LEgGOdt]

Apparently, they took your advice about the port and starboard shafts being the same color as the antifouling paint on the hull and fixed it. and they've even updated the model with a new hull design, boilers, and engine layout.

[@chaitea3659]

another theory haw she sank is maybe cause of the three sisters. the three sisters are 3 massive wave that are very hard to maneuver out of the way. the three sisters are also possible to have sank the “Bannockburn”, a ghost ship that sank on the great lakes long ago.

[@Resurgam1985]

Sorry, Tom, my initial reaction to this video is "that is a friggin' huge knife." Also, look up Cobi ships everyone. You're welcome/I'm sorry.

I'm sure they have agreements and contracts and all that jazz, but that is SO cool! I'm only 13 minutes in, I'm so stoked to see what the SS Edmund Fitzgerald looks like! when I was young my dad would play me the Edmund Fitzgerald song by Girdon Lightfoot all the time and tell me the story of what happened. I miss that. RIP dad, I love you. on a lighter note, this is a bad ass channel dude!

[@carsonrichards9902]

I agree the Lego Titanic is what got me into the history of the ship and that's the same for the Lusitania. I believe the Edmund Fitzgerald had 21 hatches

[@marlingarcia8386]

Edmund Fitzgerald's three central cargo holds were loaded through 21 watertight cargo hatches, each 11 by 48 feet (3.4 by 14.6 m) of 5⁄16-inch-thick (7.9 mm) steel. Originally coal-fired, her boilers were converted to burn oil during the 1971-72 winter layup.
