Here you can watch the evidence given by Lady Duff-Gordon who, along with her husband, had the distinction of being one of only two passengers interviewed in the British enquiry.

Absolutely great!!! Thank you
Fantastic podcast very interesting
Well, except for the lumber schooners on the west coast, that's true. There was one lumber schooner that had 7 masts actually. They were galf rigged, not square -Veteran '66-68
Great man ❤
Listen Mr Mariner, stop using imperial units. For sail area 73,260 sq ft you should use/say 6,806 m2. Visually lower number gives better understanding of the sail sizes and power of the ship. 73,260 does not speak to average person imagination. I hate imperial system... Obsolete and stupid...
Strange as it sounds we Poles HAD a sailing ship with 5 masts. Named with an abbreviation (!) she made, as far, as I know, ONLY ONE VOYAGE under our merchant flag. 😊
Perhaps to become hopelessly undermanned with a forest of masts and less than forty people to attend to them. 👍

Yes, & underlying it , for anyone with an eye for history is the RN's reputation for aggression,, Cochrane is a fine inspiration, but he operated in a very different 'information space', often several weeks lag to the nearest admiral.. independant action of a scope that would be unthinkable today, plus he would maybe also have a confirmed reputation as a twitter revolutionary ?
This is amazing! Feels like we’re there visually.
What a great video, thank you. Warrior is a wonderful ship, i get to visit 4 or 5 times a year, and always look forward to my visits. Many thanks should go to the Dock workers in Hartlepool who transformed warrior from a hulk to the beauty we see today. what a wonderful job they did.
Fascinating video missing out views of all the most interesting places up and down the canal.
When I first saw paintings and drawings of The Great Eastern I thought it was some kind of HG Wells' fever dream. I was blown away when I learnt she was real
Excellent!
Built by Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company which had a football team who later became West Ham United, hence the 'Irons' nickname.
Super underrated channel dude, great work
Dreadful voiceover.....the must have been someone better...?
Obviously there must have been a better candidate for the voiceover.....or let the pictures speak for themselves !
That’s a lot of coal lol
прекрасная модель.
Thanks for the video. 💕
Only by the english
11:40 PM pm the 14th.
What an amazing vessel! 🌹⚓
Very nice video! I was impressed with the animation and liked the description of the ship’s landing signal system, which I wasn’t familiar with. A useful bit of information not mentioned related to the unique identification marking system of IJN carrier aircraft and how it visually linked aircraft with their respective ships. Regarding the targeted Hawaiian airfields, the main US Army Air Force base was Hickam Field and “Kaneohe Field” was actually Naval Air Station Kaneohe.
Excellent! DID THIS HELP THE WRIGHT BROTHERS, with their drive to succeed. In build the world's first airplane.
Would appreciate having the exhaust stack included. Guessing there’s one at either end? Cheers
super cool ! Explanation is very good, The science used behind doing all this stuff (relating to aerodynamics, hydrodynamics) always surprises me :)
Excellent visualization of a rather complex naval encounter. Just recently found your podcast, love it so far!
I had the pleasure of sailing on the Royal Clipper for 2 weeks in Sept. 2023 and enjoyed every minute of it. Under full sail she was an awesome spectacle never to be forgotten.
Yes, the Royal Clipper was five masted, so this is not the” only” one ever built.
Great NO propeller No wright Brothers. They had the drive!
"powerful engines producing 1250 Hp...." Lol. We have cars that have that horsepower to day. We've come a long way.
Warrior probably has a lot more torque though, you have to remember that something like a traction engine would have about 6hp at this time, but they could probably pull over 50tons
Underated
Why is Sam Willis not narrating?
This is excellent. However, I really feel the battle can't be fully understood without knowing the Via Dolorosa the Russians trod in somehow coming over 18,000 miles to meet the Japanese in the Straits of Tsushima. Put simply, the Russian fleet was the worst on the high seas, an "archaeological collection of naval architecture" (to quote the bitter words of its commander Adm. Rozhestvensky), manned by ill-trained and demoralized conscripts led by often incompetent and untrustworthy officers (whose presence accounts for the competent and trustworthy Rozhestvensky's temper, which only grew more vile as he shepherded this ragtag gang of lunatic cats to its doom). The result of the Russians' ill-preparedness can be seen in this video's schematic view of the battle. To be blunt, the Japanese know what they're doing; the Russians don't. Thus the former systematically and mercilessly slaughter the latter, no matter how hard the Russians try to fight.
Фейк.
I have one of these shrouds it has a black coffin on it with a jolly roger
what angle do you put the Titanic at when it split? looking at the animations that seems like 30+ angle which is incorrect if you follow James Cameron Titanic "1997" version.
Awsome and outstanding job.
TOP.
how about making sure dolphins, whales, and other marine life dont get cut by propellers
Propeller was really invented in middle ages Holland for windmills btw.
How was the titanics engines tirple expansion with 4 pistons? Its quite a stretch to say they are identical.

Nice video
Algae in the water: Oh, this is my client!
I lived on Ascension Island where WD spent what was probably a pretty miserable time.
Interesting. It’s difficult to get to the truth about the Titanic, but always good to hear real information from the inquiry.
The titanic took hours to sink most people had sunk due to hypothermia within 25 minutes of entering the water. By the time she had sunk anyone still in the water was already dead.
Apart from that lady it seems...
@@PeteH0121 the woman testifying was in a lifeboat the entire time. And Rose the woman who was found on the door was out of the water on the door meaning she wasn't treading water using energy to keep afloat. That excess energy was used by her body to keep her core temperature warmer than had she been in the water.
@@Spartacus-4297 Two very lucky people (relatively)
@@PeteH0121 indeed.
Sinking ships displace so much water that they create a suction effect. Dragging smaller things around them into the depths. Add that to the freezing temperatures of the water. It is feasible that anyone still alive after the ship sank was too weak to cry out.
