This past weekend I had my dry-dock Tour and words and pictures cannot describe how big this ship really is, I was in just shock and awe over it that whole time. Our guide we had was amazing, we learned some really fun stories about the shipyard and I got the opportunity to meet and speak with Ryan, what a nice guy! If you have the means to go see the ship in dry-dock, I would highly recommend going the experience is of a lifetime you will not regret it. I have a whole new appreciation for the engineering that went into making this ship. Many thanks to the men and women that take care of BB-62 so we can all enjoy her as time goes on. Keep up the Great work Ryan and Libby!!!!

Given the close similarities between size and displacement it is really remarkable how much more power NJ needed to go just 10 knots faster than Titanic. Something of interest to note is that the exponential increase in power needed to reach those high speeds was something that influenced the White Star Line's operation. Most other shipping companies primary focus was increasing speed. White Star decided the drastic increase in power and fuel consumption was not worth the extra knot or two to surpass their competitors. Instead they decided to focus on improving comfort and luxury. So while they may not have been in the running to win the the Blue Ribbon it wasn't uncommon for a White Star ship to have 2nd class accommodations comparable to 1st class on a rival line's vessels.

Both air and water are a fluid and subject to fluid dynamics. While I am not a physicist, I do understand the basic laws of resistance with fluid dynamics, and that is that it isn't linear, but exponential. If fluid resistance was not a factor a 3000 lbs car could sustain 70 mph with only 35ish horsepower. Additionally if fluid resistance was not a factor it would take only 70ish hp to run 140 mph. But this is not the case. Resistance in the fluid (whether it be air or water) has an exponential effect. Real world data in that stock cars at Talladega and Daytona before restrictor plates (1987) had approximately 600 horsepower. This would give them a top speed of roughly 215 mph without a draft. Step up one year to 1988 when they put plates on the cars and dropped the horsepower to 450. Cars had a top speed of roughly 195 hp. So we had roughly a 10% drop in speed but a 25% drop in horsepower. Granted the teams did everything they could when they lost the horsepower to trim the cars out more etc, but my point is made. This is why ship builders work so hard to get a hull as hydro-dynamically efficient as possible, why racecar teams work to get drag out of cars etc.

During Titanic's time they were also running into vibration and harmonic problems with trying to push big ships faster. Often the fastest ships couldn't really run near their max speeds or else they'd vibrate and be uncomfortable or damage themselves. That top down profile shot shows that Titanic was likely much slicker through the water and wouldn't require as much power to match the speed of the New Jersey. It would be very interesting if we still relied on ships for main transportation instead of planes. We'd likely have big modern ocean-liners running 40-50 knots if not faster. As it is we've been downgraded to cruise ships that are just lumbering floating hotels.

Fun facts. Passenger manifests were filled out at the port of departure, including Titanic's, NOT upon arrival at an immigration station such as Ellis Island (which has been perpetuated in myth for decades). Pages of Titanic's original manifest did exist, but the missing pages were hastily rewritten at sea and state Carpathia instead of Titanic as the vessel the immigrants arrived on. The original passenger manifests were microfilmed in 1944 and then destroyed. The only manifests that exist are on microfilm rolls for the Port of New York. I am happy to answer any questions related to passenger manifests or steamship arrivals.

Prior to 1820 there was no federal mandate for manifesting arrivals into the United States. From 1820-1890 each state was responsible for it's own immigration process and the documentation is chaotic. Immigration itself wasn't a process of the fed until 1890.

One point of interest - there is recent evidence that Titanic's central propeller was in fact a 3 blade prop. People have always assumed that she had the same type of 4 blade central prop as Olympic. However, paperwork from Harland and Wolff has recently come to light referencing receipt of a 3 bladed prop for the central shaft. The reason for this was likely that, like most ships of this era, they had to try different propeller geometries in order to minimize vibration. It is my understanding that Harland and Wolff or White Star were hoping to improve on Olympic's vibration levels by varying the design of the central screw. IIRC, Britannic was fitted with a 4 blade central screw - it may be visible on her wreck.

Those are some big, bad ass screws ( submarine speak ). The engineering is super cool and I can just imagine the cavitation at top speed. My 80's flashback is waiting on the pier with 120 plus shipmates, Navy divers and shipyard support for a brand new screw to show up for a WestPac deployment. Quite the choreography to see the big rig arrive and everybody jump into screw replacement mode......after that pesky roooooskie satellite clears our observation area. Ahhh yesss, a brand spanking new screw so we can hit the accelerator and move!!

Interesting comparison: Titanic’s 46,000 SHP to obtain 23 knots versus BB-62’s 220,000 SHP to obtain 34+ knots. That’s almost five times the power to get about 50% velocity increase. Presuming both ships are well engineered and similarly efficient, that is a good lesson in fluid dynamics. Power required is a factor of speed cubed. It takes a huge increase in power input to get just a little more velocity when running at flank speed.

Great Video. 2 of the most famous ships in the world? Titanic possibly. Saying that the New Jersey is the most famous ship in the world before USS Constitution, Santa Maria, Mayflower, HMS Victory and HMS Beagle is a bit of a stretch though.

And if we're talking about WWII warships, I'd say that the Bismarck and Yamato are more famous than New Jersey. I knew about those 2 since I was a kid because they are mentioned reasonably often in pop culture and on TV, but I didn't even know the Iowa class existed until I started playing World of Warships.

Is there any reason why more museum ships aren’t painted with camouflage patterns? I believe NC is the only one today that has a unique paint scheme and all the others just use battleship gray

Aha. That's the thing about Titanic. It's (her?) center propeller WAS three (3) bladed. How do I know this? Harland & Wolff has this specified in their archives. There's very few actual photos of Titanic. Olympic & Britannic had four (4) bladed central propeller that was driven by Parsons direct drive turbine. After Olympic was put into revenue service, H&W wanted to test the difference on the coal/fuel efficiency on her sister ship. But, since the results couldn't be verified because... you know... the three bladed central propeller (yes, in their documentation, Harland & Wolff refer to them as propellers, NOT screws) was eventually fitted onto Olympic, but after a while they put the four bladed one back when she drydocked again.

I believe that it’s been pretty well established that Titanic’s inboard propeller is 3 bladed, unlike Olympic’s 4.

If you are doing this video of the two maybe if they let you you may be able to do one about the United States and the Titanic beans the United States is similar to the Iowa class battleships and it’s also used to be a passenger liner. I would love to see that video. Thank you.

It makes me wonder sometimes, given the fact that the Iowa-class are the fastest battleship class in history, in place of Carpathia, one of the Iowas would've been the rescue ship (barring any timeline consistency). This is hypothetical. Could an Iowa make it in time to Titanic if that said Iowa replaced RMS Carpathia as the rescue ship?
