Titanic Before Disaster

- The story of Titanic is perhaps most well-known for its ending - the image of the tragic loss of the liner, taking with it nearly 1500 souls into the freezing depths of the North Atlantic, has been seared into our collective memory for over 100 years. Tragedy is what most people think of when they hear the name “Titanic.” But this is, of course, only part of the story. The White Star Line vessel Titanic that existed before the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, was a very different ship. In truth, she was a liner like any other, albeit larger and grander than most. Her early days were fraught with frenzied final touches and inspections as the last-minute preparations were made for a very routine yet hopeful maiden voyage. Today we’ll be looking at the ship as she was in her very brief heyday, in the final days leading up to her departure from Harland and Wolff at Belfast, Ireland for Southampton England on her way to her date with destiny - a moment in time when there was still pride and hope for Titanic.

Mike brady is my friend 🧡
Mike Brady is our friend and this vid is awesome. So professional. Very well done Mike 👏
I actually genuinely agree with you and you actually couldn't have said that actually any better than me lol ❤😂🎉. @@ambush_akula5261
@@leighmenzie5904l actually agree with you ❤😂
Perfect Sunday afternoon with our friend Mike Brady
Ahhhgreed lol
@@nathanhilton1865 Agreed as well.
The time has now come - it's midnight, the night of 14/15th of April (albeit in mainland Europe)
@@louise_rose titanic has almost completely sunk. Were now at the part were she starts to rise
@@bpdbhp1632 And most of the lifeboats have already been sent off!😟
Mike Brady is one of those guys who are on CZcams which are nice to listen to. Not irritating, no silly accent, no histrionics. Just nice to hear him. And the content is so out of this world good. Thank you so much Mike. Love your site.
Simon Whistler should be taking notes.
It's like he is .... your friend
Sunday just isn’t the same without our friend Mike Brady
Hes not going to go out with you bro
He has an English or some variant accent, albeit it's not heavy like people from the Northern British Isles.
It’s beautiful how you tell Titanic’s story here. This story brings so much life back to her despite what her future held. I love this!
Thank you so much!
@@OceanlinerDesigns dear Michael, greetings from the UK, I just feel moved to put on record my appreciation of the excellent series you’ve done regarding the Titanic. Your presentation style complimented by the many illustrations is absolutely superb. As a pensioner who is 80 years old, I do have an insight into times gone by, thank you so much for all you do to entertain me. I’m leaving a small gift and recognition of your excellent videos, cheers Peter.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would posit that our friend Mike Brady is not only knowledgeable and intelligent, but a polished and professional orator and narrator who puts out some of the best work ever produced on any medium.
We are lucky to have access to such a fellow
the fact that this year april 14th is on a sunday makes this anniversary a bit extra special
Yup I guess it stands out more because of that
And I might want to add April 10th is a day to remember (that's the day she cast off) and April 14th-15th is a night to remember (like Walter Lord's book "A Night to Remember")
As an aviation geek, I was never that interested in ships and shipping...until I started watching this dude's vids. Watching these superbly made vids is always enjoyable and time well spent. Thanks as always, Mike. :)
I'm the same!! 😂😂
Awww. I always loved both from the start. A liner is a liner :) If it flies or floats.
Ship's that sail through sea or sky have always been of interest to me as well. Naval aviation covers them both, so your dual interest is not unusual. And Mike's videos cover the sea going side very well. They are excellent in every way.
This, WW2 Aviation, but man do i love me a good Titanic video. Like you said any of his videos entertain me really.
You fine folk would likely enjoy Drachinifel, while waiting for Mikey to make a new one! And Mentour Pilot. His accident videos are better than ACI. Check out the latest one about the one that landed on the belly and took off again a couple of years ago in Pakistan. Not for the faint of heart. He also does incidents where they land safely and lessons are learnt that way. He's a 737-800 line training captain at one of the busiest airlines so he knows what he's talking about. Did a series on "type rating" for the 738. I followed it, technically I can now fly one :) FMC and all. It's easy, to me it was always black magic but the FMC had it's own kinda 1980s computer vibe. It's just tedious. I would curse ATC if they gave me a shortcut and I'd have to reprogram the thing mid flight but ir gave me an appreciation for how awesome airline pilots are. Total pros.
The final, eerie touch at the very end before the image of the titanic sailing away from southhampton turns full black did not escape me!
Tonight is the night 😢
I'm obsessed with Titanic, such a beautiful ship. Today's ships are so much bigger but they don't have the beauty of the Titanic. ❤
I prefer to be obsessed by Olympic. Identical in all meaningful respects, but w/o the sad ending.
The Olympic class had what I consider the most pleasing lines of any of the ocean liners.
I will have a drink on her behalf
14:20 Wow, I never realized that there had been a Captain Haddock presiding on the bridge of the Titanic before she set off for her ocean journey! Is this where Hergé found the name for his famous namesake captain, the friend and ally of Tintin? 😀 (from the early 1930s and on)
@@louise_rose Oh, so someone besides me remembers Tintin's Captain Haddock!
Probably just a coincidence the Tintin character had that name.
Charles Lightoller was truly a hero both for his work saving lives on the Titanic and for his work with his son saving British, French, and Allied soldiers during the Dunkirk evacuation. Using their private vessel they joined the 850 vessels now known as the "Little Ships of Dunkirk" and personally saved 130 soldiers during Operation Dynamo. Miraculously they were able to help save some of the 336,000 soldiers rescued from the beaches.
It seems that some men rise to any occasion presented to them. Thank you for reminding us.
As can be expected with the outbreak of WW1 being only two years later, most of the surviving crew went onto serve in the war. Charles Lightoller was one of the first people to use successfully use a depthcharge to sink a U boat.
He also, at the age of 66, took his yacht to Dunkirk to take part in OP. Dynamo, the evacuation of British and French troops from the beaches.
@@jasonwebb7574don't ever forget that Dunkirk was our equivalent of the French surrender.
We ran away. The French didn't have that option.
Like the rest of Europe, we didn't 'win the war', we were on the same side as the victors.
And one of the cruelest machine gunning of U-Boat survivors as well. What a man!
@@cowbanchalam9725 Perhaps you might try to explain what, when some 100 French & Belgian divisions had either capitulated or collapsed, the 13 divisions of the BEF were supposed to do?
Aside, that is, from using control of the sea to evacuate 210,000 British & 110 French troops, before landing the 'Reconstituted BEF' in Cherbourg, only to be told by General Weygand that the French Army was no longer capable of 'organised resistance' of course?
Lightoller also shot a zeppelin, captained by infamous German commander Heinrich Mathy and headed for a bombing run of Britain, while serving on the HMTB 117 during WWI. While the zeppelin wasn't destroyed, it was crippled and forced to return home, thwarting the attack.
Bloody brilliant, Mike!- for one who regularly thinks he is "Titaniced out", you prove the lie, time and again. Beautifully rendered and told, this telling reminds me very much of my previous life in West End theatre, and the sheer, frenzied activity of "production week", before a show opened. It has that same combination of grit and glamour.

My wife, my son, and I were supposed to go to the Titanic Exhibit today in Pittsburgh because she knows hoe much I love Titanic and my birthday is the 18th, but she thought that she could buy the tickets yesterday and they were sold out, so I missed out, as well as my oldest son as I know that he would've loved it.
Have a happy birthday 🎂🎈🎉
Who are you calling a hoe? lol j/k Happy Birthday
@@MaryClareVideos Thank you. I'll be 41 this year, but I appreciate that.
@@Brock_Landers You’re still young. I love cars too. I’m half owner of my dad’s 1953 Hudson Hornet. 🐝 it was in the movie No Sudden Move. Brendan Fraser drove it.
My birthday is the 18th too! Strange how your comment is the first I saw haha.
Just made a pot of tea and guess what was waiting just for me on the laptop???
Why, a NEW video from Oceanliner Designs, it's going to be a great day......
Yeah I love it when that happens. It's always a pleasant surprise to see that your favourite CZcamsr has dropped a new video when you have a few quiet minutes to yourself before stepping out into the hustle and bustle of the 'real world'.
@@Bob-Jenkins Mike has a very relaxing narration but with lots of information.
"Why a NEW video from Oceanliner Designs...." Great question.
Finally a accurate point on video on the Titanic's life before the fateful voyage, our friend from Oceanliner Designs always gets the job right, good to see a friend of mine; Gavin Krom be credited for his research too, well-deserved and great video as always, perfect.
This is absolutely breathtaking, even with the 360p upload quality. I often wish I would have had access to something like this back in the early nineties when my love for Titanic grew into more of an obsession, so to speak, and all I had were a few pictures of Titanic in an old book, but I'm just as thankful that we were finally given such an incredible -- and unbeatable -- gift thanks to the THG guys and Mike Brady. We've literally been allowed the chance to step aboard the Titanic and it honestly doesn't get any better than that.
Future holodecks will appreciate all the hard work.
3D rendering are gorgeous, that's insane
Well done. I sailed as a cruise director for many years and brought out a ship (first of its class) from France in the 1990s. This brought back the memories of that frantic and heady time. Unfinished rooms, dodgy sea trials and even a 40ft wave during our crossing. But unlike Titanic, we made it to New York. Even though I’m not a Titanic fanboy (no one who sails can be) I appreciate your work, passion and detail. Thank you Mike Brady from Ocean Liner Designs!
This is a true gem of a CZcams channel. Thanks for the great content!
So glad you're enjoying it!
Eva Hart said a great many times after the sinking that the Titanic "will go down in history as the one disaster where there was no need for anyone to die." So true
Thank you, friend Mike! This is an exceptionally beautiful episode. The engrossing narrative, the astonishing graphics, vintage photos and sound are amazing ❤
My grandfather and his uncle were supposed to be on the Titanic but he had an infection and was not allowed to bored. So I guess I am living a life that I might not of had as they were 3 rd class passengers.
It's crazy the tapestry of history weaves
@@PsRohrbaugh absolutely
April 14th afternoon. A good time to watch this. Thank you.
My goodness that was a FAST 42 minutes! It seems like I just tuned in and now it's over!
A great presentation Mike, and true to the old show-business adage you "Left 'em wanting more!"
Thanks so much for this wonderful posting on the 112th anniversary of the disaster. My "Red Duster" and White Star Line pennant are being displayed on the house tomorrow. ("Blue Dusters" are hard to find here in the US.) And as the Irish Rovers song says:
"Roll on Titanic roll, you're the pride of the White Star Line!
"Roll on Tiranic roll, into the mists of time!"
What am amazing video. Those animations are incredible. The story of people who build and served on Titanic are almost as fascinating as the ship herself. To think that as of today 112 years ago that incredible ship and so many people saw their last sunset. All of those lives lost and all of the amazing engineering taken to the bottom of the Atlantic.
It's interesting to see that Mike dropped this at the time he did. I mean here in Australia we live in the future, it's already 3-5 hours into the 15th.
He has analytics he knows where the bulk of his audience are.
@@MakerInMotion Yeah, of course he does. That doesn't take anything away from the fact that I find it interesting.
Can you send me tomorrow's winning lottery numbers?! 😃
titanic and the story of the liners is a drug because of you all! every time I try to detox you come up with more and more interesting videos! 😂 greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
😂😂😂😂
I've read and watched a lot on the Titanic and this has taught so much that I didn't know. Thank you for the great video's. It is odd how the Titanic has caught the interest so much in some ways but this adds so much humanity for the crew and builders that the usual documentaries lack.
What a magnificent video. The research the narration the visuals. Second to none and such a lovely tribute to the Titanic and her passengers on this anniversary date.
Next up, the laundry room.
This 14 April is also a Sunday. Mike, g'day mate.........this is a masterwork! Outstanding, spectacular. Youve quite outdone yourself! Cheers!
Great way to get ready for the livestream
i cant find the live stream..
@@user-lc8ne6hp2qI think it's tonight.
@@user-lc8ne6hp2q It will be tonight starting at 10:30 EST, Titanic Honor and Glory.
@@stonewall01 ty
Yes, me too! I sat up most of the night last year listening to it. These you tube channels are the best!
If there will ever be another titanic movie, our friend Michael Brady has to be in it. He deserves it. Such passion should be rewarded.
And playing Thomas Andrews!
how many titanic videos can be made? every week. mind you, ive watched very one.... it must be good for content and views. how crazy is it that over 100 years after a ship wreck... here we are, all over the world, getting a quarter million people watching videos about her... its truly mind blowing.
I learned here that a liner would normally just sink. Those two hours she took to go down made her legendary.
There are more TITANIC videos than there are video reports about the first human landing on the Moon in 1969.. Odd to consider that.
@@MarinCipollina That's interesting
My friend Mike Brady's videos have absolutely NO RIGHT to be this good. The engineering history mixed with human stories, all explained with newsreel, photos and the most amazing CG reconstruction. It's too good.
I went to the Titanic artefact exhibition at Melbourne Museum a few weeks back. It was great, but the experience was really enhanced for me by having been watching this channel for a while. I felt I had a lot of background to flesh out the information given, and seeing things spoken about on this channel was pretty incredible.
If anyone is in Melbourne I highly recommend this exhibition to any followers of this channel. It runs until April 21st, so there’s still time!
Absolutely SPECTACULAR video. Somehow I felt that we got left on a cliffhanger. Loved it mate.
I love these type of videos with the historical photos and the CGI re-creation of the rooms / spaces of the Titanic.
Mike you should be so proud of the work you do on your Oceanliner Designs channel. This is another remarkable production. Thank you so much for keeping Titanic alive.
Michael Brady, you always do a great job.
Thank you.
My obsession with Titanic was renewed this past Sunday (Mother’s Day) when we went to the Titanic Exhibit in Skokie Illinois. This channel has been a godsend. It’s like I’m discovering Titanic all over again the way I did when I first saw Titanic in theaters in 1997 and I’m so glad this is happening to me.
Titanic.....
What else can I say, she is famous to everyone.
Right she shall forever be famous for a variety of reasons (maiden voyage, largest man-made movable object -- to name just two)
@@RebeccaQueen-ti1bk "Fear Allah" ?
@@RebeccaQueen-ti1bk What does Allah have to do with the Titanic now :D
@@fmyoungwhat indeed?
Mike! Dont ever stop i appreciate all the work you do to inform me with such depth of the stories you so kindly share
I never thought there would be a Titanic story I didn't know and would be this interesting. ❤ great story.
Words like "collieries" get me, keep up the excellent reporting!
Stunning work as always Mike. I find the story of the night the Titanic sank fascinating and tragic, but it's great to see videos about the ship in her prime, "untouched by tragedy" as you say. Looking forward to the other releases you've teased for April.
You're such a great story teller, Mike! This episode gave me goosebumps!
I repeat 3 times that massively beautiful hot restaurant and interiors, those renders details and shadings looks absolutely pleasanter to watch, it's amazing how good graphics technology become in last years.
I believe a better last words for Mike Brady on Titanic departure from Southampton would be " the rest is history"
This is an incredible video. I'm about 29 minutes in and everything you've done is just detailed and amazing. Your videos are quite a spectacle to watch.
Amazing narration. Titanic's story, composed of glimpses into the lives of so many, as well as glimpses into her inner workings and outer actions, is an epic. You have captured that beautifully with the tapestry you have woven. Thank you!
This is such a wonderful video. Captivating visuals from THG, and the ever charismatic tones of my friend, Mike Brady.
These videos just get better and better! What a fantastic job everyone on the team has done. Thank you to the Oceanliner designs team! ❤
Thank you Mike for yet another outstanding production. You really have a knack for making these amazing videos. Keep up the great work and I eagerly look forward to your next project.
Thank you so much Mike and the team behind this.
This is very informative
Thank you for doing these titanic videoes
What a beautifully and professionally-produced program. Enjoyed every second!
As usual your video is fantastic. Script, score and original images are perfect but the graphics are particularly beautiful in this one. Stellar job as always Mike
A most splendid video Mr Brady. Well done !
Happy titanic annaversary mike x
Serious amount of work behind this one, and it shows. The production values are huge and it looks amazing. Kudos to yourself and your crew.
WOW! I think this is your best video yet! Keep them coming! Thank You!
I’ve been waiting for this
the animations are amazing! my passion is showing
This was so good, I was so intrigued in this video it didnt feel like a 42 min video. Can’t wait for the next one 😊
@oceanliner Mike your voice is so soothing and easy to listen to. I’ve always been fascinated by the titanic, so this is a dream come true. Thank you for telling these tales about the ship.
An excellent video for the 112th anniversary. Even the days of the week align.
And 1912 was a leap year too
Oh how we all love to hear from our friend, Mike Brady
Thank you so much for making these videos. They are at once informative, educational and entertaining in the positive sense. I especially admire the way you handle the subject of the sinking with sensitivity and respect, acknowledging that this was a human tragedy of horrific proportions.
I will never get enough of videos about Titanic from our friend Mike Brady, thank you for these wonderful videos!
Awesome thanks
Today is April 14 but not just any old April 14 its also a Sunday
Mike, this was a particularly engrossing episode. We all appreciate your work so much.
Outstanding video. Truly remarkable presentation. As always, best regards. This comment is made on Sunday April 14, 2024, which is 112 years from the day the Titanic hit the iceberg.
Happy Sunday, April 14th to our friend Mike Brady of Ocean Liner Designs! 🎉🎉🎉
Why are we so fascinated by the story of this ship’s sinking? As I am here to see this video (and more) I can’t say to know why.
Your research and commentary on Titanic is utterly superlative Michael. Thank you for your excellent work on these videos.
A brilliant video, Mike. Great research and memorising graphics. Thank you.
45 second ticket here btw hey mike🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😅
Wait, so you telling me on April Fools' Day They got everybody out there and lined them up then delayed trials? 🤔
Absolutely love your channel!!
Great job!!!
Always enjoy, and more importantly learn details from your videos!!
Thank you for that!!
Titanic is one of those perfect stories of hubris and humanity that appeal to our need for storytelling…especially when it’s told as well as it is here.
Fantastic job taking a well known story and giving it new insight and interest! Subscribed!
I cant believe in less than 24 hours it will be the 112 year anniversary since the sinking, I’m crying!
Silly
It’s a very important day for me. It’s my son’s birthday, 04/15/2011 and he passed away 10/03/2020. A lot of emotions for me
@@pinkvivi9345how terrible for you. My condolences for your sad loss.
A sad day, indeed
Well we now have a happy day, April 10th the day Oj Simpson croaked.
Titanically fantastic thanks Captain Mike, can't wait for the next one! You can tell that you and all your team that put these videos together care about making sure the story and individual,personal stories of passengers and crew are retold with respect and in your easy-to-listen-to style voice, I always enjoy OD videos, thanks. 😊❤❤❤⚓🚢
Great video, Mike! You did an amazing job building and narrating this video. Thank you for doing it.
Imagine if Titanic wasn't delayed 3 months.
That or what if the voyage had been delayed one more time (if only slightly)
Our friend Mike Brady did an alternate history video in which he imagines what Titanic's life would have been like if it had avoided sinking on the maiden voyage. It's pretty neat. Check the Titanic playlist on his channel...
It’s funny, all the “What ifs” Titanic would have most likely would have served the seas for 25-30 years then ignominiously met her end in a scrap yard, a la Olympic. We wouldn’t be talking of her all these years later, but that’s another “What if”
❤ Loved this my cousin died on the titanic his body was never recorded his name was Percival Franklin or Franklin Percival Sharp he got on at the SouthHampton stop
Your cousin? So you must be around 120 years old! Amazing! What's the secret to such longevity? :P
@@johnnyblue4799 of course not it was being down thru the family duh!!!!
@@judybaackebrewer61 Well, cousin means "a child of one's uncle or aunt". So you are old, or a ghost typing! :))))
@@johnnyblue4799 no it's just been passed down in the family
Really enjoyed your video! Love the perspective you bring to this historic ship in your videos. Always fresh!
What a great video of the Titanic and the delays then days leading up to its maiden voyage. Thanks Mike for doing this video!
Very well done, Mike, and also to all others involved.
That was captivating ... You have such a soothing voice that holds interest, you don't rush things ... you just let the words drift across the either to be taken in and absorbed ... you are getting pretty good at this ;)
Once again you nailed it Mr. Brady. You and your team has made another masterpiece of a documentary. Thank you for great information and details about RMS Titanic. Keep up the good work.
What a beautiful video. Ty for making one about how amazing the ship was prior to the disaster.
Another beautifully made video. Great work, Mike!
Very well done, Michael as are all your presentations!
Watching this on April 14th at 11:36pm here in Scotland, 4 minutes from the collision so long ago. It's wonderful to watch this and remember her before that disaster struck, to enjoy her beauty. Thank you for this beautiful episode. ❤️🚢 Planning to travel to the exhibit in Belfast for the first time this summer.
Excellent vid on her early days. Thanks for this!
I’ve scratched my cornea and it hurts to even blink but by golly I’m gonna watch this anyway lol. Can’t get enough of your videos Mike! They are so beautifully made and your voice is so soothing ❤
Your videos are so well made, you should be proud Mike. We have enjoyed all of them, thank you.
Man I will say you do a absolutely phenomenal job of narrator and explaining things !
This was an unexpectedly enthralling video! As usual, it is visually stunning and very well edited. But the writing is excellent as well! 🏆
