  • 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:

    2:04 - RMS Titanic
    17:36 - RMS Carpathia

    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

    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 CZcams experience just came full circle, like 12 years later, I haven't even thought about that video in years.

    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.

      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.

    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

    Hopefully the reason these sets cost so much is to properly fund Histobricks until it becomes a larger business, because I know LEGO, and sets that have a piece count of around 700 tend to cost around $60-$80, not $260. I hope these can become more affordable, because I really think these models are excellent. But for $260, I could get the four sets from LEGO I really want and spare $40.

    I remember that Lego Titanic movie you made.

    "now we have a plethora of plates to place in place...That sentence made sense you know" hahahahaha that gave me a good laugh. I had absolutely no idea that companies were allowed to take pieces of Lego, build their own kits, and then sell them. 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!
