“She was the apogee of the steamship, the apotheosis of the ocean liner. Even considering her eventual fate, officials today at Harland & Wolff believe the Titanic to have been, without a doubt, the firm’s finest achievement.” Wyn Craig Wade, from his book “Titanic: End Of A Dream”

Funny they should mention Harland & Wolf, because the ship building company distanced themselves so hard from The White Star Line after the Titanic disaster, we had to rediscover the fact they’d built the ship in the first place. Yeah, for a period of time we had completely forgotten what company had built her, until someone poured through some old records and found it was Harland & Wolf. And for a time they would deny ever being involved with the ship or the shipping company. If I had to guess why they openly embrace it now? Well, on top of the disaster being a hundred years old, the public has a very romantic view of the ship and tue disaster now, so… no reason to avoid it.

[@randomobserver8168]

@@Nikolai_The_Crazed When was the time that its builder wasn't known to be Harland and Wolf?

[@randomobserver8168]

Well it did have design flaws, though not clear they were unique for the time. Maybe if White Star hadn't crashed the thing into an iceberg at top speed and ground half the starboard side along it lengthwise. Or various other borderline mentally challenged procedures like not having the key for the binocular case because some officer made off with the only one when disembarking. I'm willing to grant HW their due share of the design errors of the day, but White Star managers & the ship's officers seemed criminally negligent by comparison.

[@DanksterPaws]

@@ernshaw78 Eh I prefer larger ships. It’s better for the environment and cheaper. Or atleast in theory it is. Two small ships have more friction force than one big ship and thus less fuel needed. Its cheaper because two ships always need atleast two copies of a service for example the two ships will need a casino each while a big ship can make do with only one so the ship can do more with lesser fares since they can carry more. Also, I don’t think those big black fumes from the funnels are very good either. Sure they look nice but you know…

@@DanksterPaws I disagree, smaller ships move faster because of the lower carry weight! A bulbous bow helps with fuel consumption as well as speed, because somethings larger doesn’t mean it’s better for the environment, in fact it’s the complete opposite.

Well it was spelled *M E D I C* but good point

[@aninkytheorist1133]

well there's also the fact that medic is technically a term for a doctor / nurse, and hospital ships do need to have nurses onboard to care for the wounded and sick, AND on land they work in hospitals, on sea they work on hospital ships... so you do have a point... and hey why didn't they think of that for HMHS Britannic (2)? that would've made more sense

I know this channel really is all about the white star line but do you think it would be possible to do a Cunard one?

[@PartTimeExplorer]

I hope to do a Cunard one, but there are three times as many ships. You'll find far more than just the White Star Line on my channel though - there are Queen Mary videos, and several others about obscure and forgotten wrecks, as well as ghost towns.

Would you consider doing a piece on the night the m/s Monarch of the Seas struck an undersea mount near Sint Maarten and ripped open the hull? They were taking on water in crew and tech spaces forward on deck 0, so they turned around and beached her in soft sand just off St Maarten. Locals with all sorts of craft came to bring pax and some crew ashore. No lives were lost, but the USCG reported that with a 130-ft gash below the waterline, she could have sunk. Dec 15, 1998. I used to be a purser on Monarch, but some years earlier.

[@THEARDUOUSMOTH]

did you make these ships or is this a game that you used footage for? i think it would be cool if there was a game where you could make your own ship fleet, make your own ship designs, manage income and expenses

[@menofcatholicism]

i think he uses blender to make ships

RE: the ending question, "What is your favorite of these liners and is there any you haven't heard of before?" -- Sideways, I've often thought about the words ending in "-ic" that the White Star Line *did not* use. For example -- Iambic; and my most favorite, the Laconic (the less said about the Laconic, the better.... XD )

[@nicolasuribestanko]

What about the Tragic, the Moronic, the Catatonic, the Histrionic and the Idiotic?

[@JKSSubstandard]

It seems like a white star tradition to run into any ship you can see

[@PacificAirwave144]

Stumbled across the KZbin channel tonight and some great stuff. I had the same thought but was thinking it was just one company so how many more ship collisions? It was a different age! Crummy weather...and you're suddenly seeing another ship! How fast can you Morse Code..."turn left...turn left...?!" Much respect to the captains of the day!

[@mnhoss2100]

Good report as always sir

[@midnightdeluxegaming6582]

Titanic was in the middle of sinking & I got this notification. The lifeboats can wait I need to see this video.
