I like 2nd class. It looks so "normal". 1st class was stuck in the Victorian era and 3rd class was so basic but 2nd class looks like any hotel, library, or train station built around that same period
You do make a point there. To be fair, Titanic started being built in 1909, so they were only nine years into the new decade: Victorian ideals/styles hadn't been shrugged off yet in favor of Edwardian.
Would have been 100% First-class survival for children, but for the Allison family, who stayed on the ship searching for their baby boy, Hudson Trevor. Their nursemaid, Alice Cleaver, had taken Hudson and left with him in a lifeboat without telling them. Tragically, Hudson's three-year-old sister, Helen Loraine, perished as a result.
Holy shite those are some narrow corridors! I don’t think I could even squeeze a leg in there. I can just see a couple of cranky old Edwardian broads trying to pass each other in those narrow hallways with their big gigantic hats and those wide dresses. Picture it: these two dames tussling it out and jabbing each other with their 3-foot long hair pins! 😂
Couldnt have come at a better time. Im actually doing a university history dissertation on the second class experience across the different liners because second class are just always forgotten. I honestly cant wait to start writing it
Second class is the one least shown so we know the least about it, but many of us would have travelled in second if we lived back then. These videos are always so cool and interesting! I can't get enough of THG footage
I think about Titanic's second class all the time! Sure, first class is gorgeous, obviously. But second class was never something to sniff at. I always loved those compartments because they felt so cozy, the space well-utilized. I'd take that in a heartbeat!
Second class weren’t average. The nephew of the Haitian president was second class. They were basically first class economically and first class passengers were the 1%.
These Titanic: Honor and Glory boys really are something else. They have taken the bar, and shot it into space. When I was a child I could have never dreamed of being able to walk Titanic’s vast interiors.
@ItsSVO Very true. Time isn't free, false promises aren't either though when you've been taking money for it. It's not a hobby, it's a business that has failed to deliver what was promised to its backers.
First class was filled with eye candy, but second class had the look of simple comfort. Mike Brady is the best, if you want to really understand the Titanic.
The reason why it looked simple cause 2nd class passengers were middle-class cause it means your not rich, your not poor, you just live a regular life, & have a regular mindset.
After playing titanic honour and glory then watching the 1997 titanic movie was never the same, it was like I’ve been all over those places while whatching the movie, it was a crazy feeling Also playing the movie in the background while walking around the ship in titanic honour and glory is also incredible, combining memory and imagination.
With that intro I like to imagine a room full of scientists around a giant old fashioned mainframe computer, waiting impatiently for a small printout that says "FRIEND: CONFIRMED", then cheering.
It's amazing how the second class is exactly like the first and third class had a baby. The layout with the the longitudinally connected tables is like 3rd class and the wood carvings and the overall theme are like first class. Even the second class staircase is like right in the middle between the grand staircase and the third class staircases. You truly get what you paid for
Never seen much of 2nd class, seen plenty of 1st and 3rd class. So awesome to finally see 2nd class like this. Ive seen debris field wreck footage and saw a red and white floor tile and always wondered where it was from, thanks to you guys i now know where its from!
I've never seen Mike so excited until "linoleum" was mentioned! LOL... He looked like a little kid who got what he wanted on Christmas morning... Since liquor isn't included in 1st class, I think I'd rather be in 2nd Class anyway, it looks much more "friendly"... Can you imagine sailing the equivalent of 1st class today on a cruise ship and nor having booze included? Never happen! Those hallways must have been a nightmare to navigate... oy... and can you imagine any ship having exposed lightbulbs now? Awesome vid!
I've been watching your channel for well over a year now and all I can say is that I love it. Your knowledge about Titanic is extraordinary and accurate. After watching this one on second class by Titanic: Honor and Glory I finally subscribed to your channel. I've been a Titanic aficionado since I was 10 years old. (now 77). In 1958 I begged my parents to take me to Manhattan to see A Night To Remember and just loved the movie. In 1962 me and a friend of mine (also an aficionado) did a commemoration tribute on the 50th anniversary of the sinking by building our own Titanic model ships.Last year, I became a member of the Titanic Historical Society. I find the Titanic Honor and glory videos fantastic and when I noticed that you were hosting the new second class video, I was excited but was also disappointed. You see, I was hoping to see the 3 types of the second class berths: second/first berths, regular second four and two berths, second/third berths. As you know the first and last were used interchangeably depending on passenger capacity accordiing to White Star Co .Only one channel discussed them ( The Great Big Move Channel-Titanic's Second Class Accomodations). It would be nice to see them on Titanic Honor and glory. By the way, I sailed on the QM2 twice and loved it. Keep up your good work.
Thanks for explaining the central clock system. I never thought about it context with an ocean liner but it makes a lot of sense. Passing from time zone to time zone and making it obvious to all is great for staying oriented and synced the journey progress and with other passengers. . “Let’s meet at the smoking room at 4pm” “4pm where?” Well that handy clock certainly came in handy
I'm using Mike Brady as a reference on my next security clearance background investigation. I hope he gives me a good reference. He has been my friend for years.
Many people don't realise that there wasn't a big middle class (second class) in 1912. It was a very small group of people. That era consisted of mostly 2 classes - upper (first class) and lower (third class). It was only during the mid-20th century (post WWII) that the middle class began to expand, due to socio-economic advances (such as education, health care, jobs etc.) The majority of people back in the early 20th century were extremely poor, so the chances are - if you didn't know already - that your ancestors during that period would've been third/lower/working class. (NOTE: this is not in any way derogatory or meant to give offence. It's just the way the world was. Both sides of my family were very working class at the beginning of the 20th century, and lived below the poverty line. It was only after World War II that their fortunes began to change).
While in 1912 the largest segment of the population would be working class or lower, the idea of an upper class that was much larger than the middle class is ludicrous. The upper class in America in 1912 was around 1% of the population; in the UK estimates vary between 1-3%. Twenty percent of the UK population was middle class, 20% - 25% in America. My American ancestors in the 19th and early 20th century were all middle class - they owned their own farms or businesses, or were professionals or had other middle class vocations. It would be far easier to find someone with my background than someone whose ancestors came from the upper classes.
This was a great clip and long overdo as there IS very little talk about the second class aboard Titanic. I have read about it in bits and pieces, but never was there anything as comprehensive as this. To see the whole thing is very impressive. I am also a bit shocked at how small the second class accommodations were. Meaning the actual amount of second class areas, not the rooms, which looked fantastic. I can see why many said that the Second Class aboard Titanic was like First Class on other ships. But now seeing it, it just reinforced the level of luxury the Titanic had. It was clearly one of the most beautiful ships ever built and sadly, ships like this will not be built again. Just so much work, effort and detail went into the ship only to be lost on the maiden voyage. Very fascinating video and enjoyable! Keep up with the great work, this is an excellent channel!
Art Nouveau decoration was becoming fashionable by the time TITANIC was constructed; if I recall correctly, some contemporary liners used Art Nouveau decoration pretty extensively. The geometric paneling in the second class library was consistent with this trend.
I wonder if it's social? The middle class were very concerned with keeping up appearances and following social rules, even more so than the upper classes or the working poor.
Finally! I have waited a long time for this moment, the best series for Titanic with more detailed information and side stories you can never hear in the commercial titanic videos
The knowledge these guys have is astounding. Fascinating listening to them speak. Also, Second Class feels like it was the best way to travel. First Class was stuck in a bygone era…
Thank you so much for this. Absolutely amazing. As I am getting on a bit I always saved up like mad and fly business class from UK to New Zealand. (I did get an upgrade on Emirates from business to First on the Auckland to Sydney leg!) I could never afford first class ordinarily. I was always disappointed that second class always seemed to get overlooked in Titanic documentaries. I imagine ordinary people like me saving up to go second class. Not rich but can just afford that bit more. They seem to get overlooked when mentioning people getting off to lifeboats, but your video covers this. Again thank you.
2nd class seems like the best place for me to be in. It have at least 80% of the luxury the 1st class. No social obligatory meetings among nobles or world-class business men. Cheaper ticket than 1st class. Overall a very cozy and comfortable place. Now that I think about it. It's funny that despite all the luxurious commodity the first class of the Titanic or other Ocean Liner of the era have. Today's Ocean Liner, the few remainings in the world, or Cruise Ship standard are much more similar to the 2nd class of the Titanic + the commodity of the 1st class.
As a second class passenger, one would be thankful that you could easily locate the deck with the lifeboats. For a male passenger, ideally one would appear on the side of the ship where Officer Murdoch was initially loading and lowering half empty lifeboats so one could ask for a seat in the boat. I agree that the 2nd class Library looks inviting comfortable and would be my favorite choice for a location to read a book and socialize. This was wonderful Mike! I love the chats with the three of you exploring the part of the ship I probably could afford if I was crossing on the Titanic and again with stairs up to the boat deck...clearly for 3rd class passengers the route to the boats was more "circuitous."
Whats crazy to me about titanic and other big ships at that time is the amount of public spaces you have. Like as we can see in the video (including first class), you had smoking rooms, resaturants, caffees, library, reading/writing room, pool and the SPA on some ships and thats mostly it...While on modern day ships theres so many things, like you have 50 restaurants and caffees, cinema, huge gym, arcades, running tracks, pools, carnival on the Symphony of the seas, water slides, roller coasters, and so many more things I cant even imagine
Well, to be fair, the Titanic was basically just a big ferry designed to get you across the ocean and not much else. You were responsible for much of your own entertainment, whereas on modern day cruise ships the voyage itself IS the vacation so there's much more emphasis on leisure activities.
I’ve had 2 terrible days. I log on to UA-cam and everything is better now that I see my friend Mike Brady with Oceanliner Designs has posted another great RMS Titanic video.
I'd love to see the interior of the second class rooms just as they show the interiors of many of the first class rooms and some third class rooms, they can also show the second class rooms. the second class has always been a mystery.
I think I’d much prefer travelling in second class or 3rd class on Olympic class liners. Because of how compact it is. To me it just seems much cosier to have everything in one place. You have one staircase going from Boat deck to F deck with an elevator. Each landing leads directly to one of the public spaces. Then the aft side you have a smaller staircase which still connects you to most of the public spaces. You get a small enclosed promenade on C deck I believe it is and an open one on the B deck leval. The cabins are nicely decorated and furnished. I mean the second class areas are just so blooming lovely. Especially the lounge/library with its lush green chairs and sofas and the light wood panels. The dinning saloon is just gorgeous. Then 3rd class is beautiful because of how practical it is. Sparsely decorated and furnished for sure but practical. I love the 3rd class general room. To much it’s so cosy. Plain and basic but cosy. Plus you get the poop deck as your promande space. Come on that’s an amazing place for a good view of the ocean. As much as I do like 1st class areas the other two classes are more to my tastes.
I also would not mind 2nd class being a more compact. I just stayed on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA and it is a fair bit of walking to find the various sights on the ship. We got turned around a few times.
I wish we had this for other ships like this type of details in this virtual tour because honestly would be so amazing to go round so many ships like this and to see
Real quality linoleum back then could be polished to a mirror shine and it would hold up for a long time and a lot of buffing. I worked in a building from 1921 and it had the original linoleum and it still looked new because of maintenance.
Such an incredible thing to be able to see titanic this way. I for one have never seen most of the ship other than whats in the movies, so finally getting to see other stuff is just fascinating
I really appreciated this video-I’ve always wondered about 2nd Class! All of the historical books I read as a kid only ever had a photo of the dining hall and of the stateroom, and that was it. Thank you for shedding some light on what history forgot. ♥️
I can’t get over how passable this would be as a modern aesthetic. Whilst some of the furniture is dated, the panelling and flooring actually fits well with some modern aesthetics. Especially anyone who has taste rather than the grey and beige washed people
Always a pleasure to see another video, Mr. Brady. Often said that 2nd class on the Olympic and Titanic was as good as 1st on most other ships of the time.
Nautical study once said that if you want to see how a shipping company really regards its clientele look at how they treated the second and third class rather than first, I'd have to agree and from this white star clearly had great regard for both, I've seen pictures of second class cabins from only a few years previously where the cabin looks more like a prison cell.
I didn't forget 2nd class. I like 2nd class more than 1st in some areas. Like for instance, the 2nd class dining room is more nicer than 1st in my opinion. In the demo's of other people's streams, I always say to go to the 2nd class areas first
Part of why Second Class is so mysterious/forgotten is that the sinking absolutely obliterated the entire interior. There are no comparison pictures with before and after except maybe a couple of recognizable exterior areas and scattered linoleum tiles. There's also the picture of the Smoking Room door's window in the debris field.
2 weeks ago during a random conversation with a friend we both learned of each others love of Oceanliners, and at the same time said "have you checked out Oceanliner Designs with Mike Brady" LOL. This conversation was taking place at a Star Trek convention too :)
I'm a public librarian, and I had no idea there was a library system onboard the Titanic! Cool! (And since they were slandered, I will verify that lots of people come to modern libraries 😉)
Apparently I was the only one stressed about our friend Mike Brady’s headphone popping out at any minute. Every time he moved I was like, “Oh, here it goes!”
I continue to be amazed by the incredible work the Titanic H&G crew have done. The attention to detail and the lighting makes this all feel so astonishingly real. ❤
25:53 I absolutely ADORE the little fact here thst was so easily recalled. Knowing when Linoleum was invented is fascinating. If youre reading my comment, i salute 🫡 you good sir. Also though, how did you know it was invented in 1860?
i'm so glad that you're my friend, Mike Brady. in a very real way, it warms my heart every single time i watch one of your videos. like the rest, this is wonderful, if depressing. heh, it feels very ironic for the current time tbh.....

Scientifically proven.
Mike Brady being my friend is my favorite parasocial relationship.
He is my only friend and I’m not even joking. What a lovely, lovely man.
That's wonderful 😊

I like 2nd class. It looks so "normal". 1st class was stuck in the Victorian era and 3rd class was so basic but 2nd class looks like any hotel, library, or train station built around that same period
Kinda what I was thinking
That's a very good point! I hadn't thought about that but now that you point it out I can't unsee it 😅
Thats because 2nd class passengers were middle-class
That’s why second class is my favorite
You do make a point there. To be fair, Titanic started being built in 1909, so they were only nine years into the new decade: Victorian ideals/styles hadn't been shrugged off yet in favor of Edwardian.
Second-class children had a 100% survival rate during the sinking. That statistic has always stuck with me.
Which is so odd considering 41 percent survived of that whole group. That's a wild statistic to think about
Would have been 100% First-class survival for children, but for the Allison family, who stayed on the ship searching for their baby boy, Hudson Trevor. Their nursemaid, Alice Cleaver, had taken Hudson and left with him in a lifeboat without telling them. Tragically, Hudson's three-year-old sister, Helen Loraine, perished as a result.
Cuz they had acces to those 8 lifeboats on the part of their boat deck.
Holy shite those are some narrow corridors! I don’t think I could even squeeze a leg in there. I can just see a couple of cranky old Edwardian broads trying to pass each other in those narrow hallways with their big gigantic hats and those wide dresses. Picture it: these two dames tussling it out and jabbing each other with their 3-foot long hair pins! 😂
@@yiman7370they were also more concerned than the 1st class passengers because they were startled by the engines right below them shutting off.
Couldnt have come at a better time. Im actually doing a university history dissertation on the second class experience across the different liners because second class are just always forgotten. I honestly cant wait to start writing it
How is unuversity working out for you?
Second class is the one least shown so we know the least about it, but many of us would have travelled in second if we lived back then. These videos are always so cool and interesting! I can't get enough of THG footage
I was obsessed with the Titanic as a kid. Love things like this that bring me right back into it
i find it SO COOL that we know how detailed this ship was !!
I think about Titanic's second class all the time! Sure, first class is gorgeous, obviously. But second class was never something to sniff at. I always loved those compartments because they felt so cozy, the space well-utilized. I'd take that in a heartbeat!
Same here. They’re the ‘all the rest’ of Titanic’s passengers. The average joes.
Second class weren’t average. The nephew of the Haitian president was second class. They were basically first class economically and first class passengers were the 1%.
These Titanic: Honor and Glory boys really are something else. They have taken the bar, and shot it into space. When I was a child I could have never dreamed of being able to walk Titanic’s vast interiors.

One interesting thing I found out is that the passenger group with the highest fatality rate was the men in second class.
Thogh 100% of second class children survived
Wonder why it’s higher than the 3rd class?
@@drewaworld6790probably due to the smaller number of second class passengers overall

I think I’d much prefer travelling in second class or 3rd class on Olympic class liners. Because of how compact it is. To me it just seems much cosier to have everything in one place. You have one staircase going from Boat deck to F deck with an elevator. Each landing leads directly to one of the public spaces. Then the aft side you have a smaller staircase which still connects you to most of the public spaces. You get a small enclosed promenade on C deck I believe it is and an open one on the B deck leval. The cabins are nicely decorated and furnished. I mean the second class areas are just so blooming lovely. Especially the lounge/library with its lush green chairs and sofas and the light wood panels. The dinning saloon is just gorgeous.
Then 3rd class is beautiful because of how practical it is. Sparsely decorated and furnished for sure but practical.
I love the 3rd class general room. To much it’s so cosy. Plain and basic but cosy. Plus you get the poop deck as your promande space. Come on that’s an amazing place for a good view of the ocean.
As much as I do like 1st class areas the other two classes are more to my tastes.
I also would not mind 2nd class being a more compact. I just stayed on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA and it is a fair bit of walking to find the various sights on the ship. We got turned around a few times.
I wish we had this for other ships like this type of details in this virtual tour because honestly would be so amazing to go round so many ships like this and to see
2nd class was very underated
Real quality linoleum back then could be polished to a mirror shine and it would hold up for a long time and a lot of buffing. I worked in a building from 1921 and it had the original linoleum and it still looked new because of maintenance.
Such an incredible thing to be able to see titanic this way. I for one have never seen most of the ship other than whats in the movies, so finally getting to see other stuff is just fascinating
I really appreciated this video-I’ve always wondered about 2nd Class! All of the historical books I read as a kid only ever had a photo of the dining hall and of the stateroom, and that was it. Thank you for shedding some light on what history forgot. ♥️
I can’t get over how passable this would be as a modern aesthetic. Whilst some of the furniture is dated, the panelling and flooring actually fits well with some modern aesthetics. Especially anyone who has taste rather than the grey and beige washed people
For anyone interested, the music in the background is Dvořák’s string quartet no. 12 (Op. 96), nicknamed “The American”
Love the use of Dvorak’s “American” String Quartet No.12 in F Major Op.96 😊
Wonderful tour!! Even better with our friend Mike Brady and the Honor and Glory gents as our guides!!😊
Thanks
Oh hey its our friend Mike Brady From Oceanliner design :)
I wish I could have Mike as a friend. Dudes classy as hell!
hi from malaysia, mike! also i live that piece in the intro! i love how you chose a piece where theres a viola solo
Malaysia Mike sounds like a drug dealer name
yo
Always a pleasure to see another video, Mr. Brady.
Often said that 2nd class on the Olympic and Titanic was as good as 1st on most other ships of the time.
Nautical study once said that if you want to see how a shipping company really regards its clientele look at how they treated the second and third class rather than first, I'd have to agree and from this white star clearly had great regard for both, I've seen pictures of second class cabins from only a few years previously where the cabin looks more like a prison cell.
This is heaven to watch!! I would love to watch the cabin video you mentioned.
I didn't forget 2nd class. I like 2nd class more than 1st in some areas. Like for instance, the 2nd class dining room is more nicer than 1st in my opinion. In the demo's of other people's streams, I always say to go to the 2nd class areas first
hey, it’s my friend mike brady!
From Oceanliner Designs ! 😂
it's OUR friend
Our friend comrade
Finally a great second class vid on Titanic.
This was dope. What program is this that allows you to walk around?
That's so unique to see the ship's mast inside. What a funny detail
Even if the subject is Titanic’s Second Class, our friend Mike Brady is a First Class guy.
I love Mike's junior VR glasses!
Outstanding Sunday timing by our friend Mike. ⚓ Yay, at last, I'd likely have found myself in 2nd class with merchants & middle managers as company...
These videos are SO ✨extremely interesting✨ && I ABSOLUTELY love it. Watch the whole thing, not missing a second. Much love from Brasil.
Thank you Mike for a very detailed video about second class. All the best from Sydney
Part of why Second Class is so mysterious/forgotten is that the sinking absolutely obliterated the entire interior. There are no comparison pictures with before and after except maybe a couple of recognizable exterior areas and scattered linoleum tiles. There's also the picture of the Smoking Room door's window in the debris field.
2 weeks ago during a random conversation with a friend we both learned of each others love of Oceanliners, and at the same time said "have you checked out Oceanliner Designs with Mike Brady" LOL. This conversation was taking place at a Star Trek convention too :)
Mike Brady is an absolute legend
Your work is amazing! It is the next best thing to being on board the ship without the restrictions or the final outcome! Thank you so much!
Fascinating stuff. I'm really impressed with this simulation...the clocks actually move, and at the rate of an actual clock. Pretty cool!
I'm a public librarian, and I had no idea there was a library system onboard the Titanic! Cool! (And since they were slandered, I will verify that lots of people come to modern libraries 😉)
Apparently I was the only one stressed about our friend Mike Brady’s headphone popping out at any minute. Every time he moved I was like, “Oh, here it goes!”
I'm so glad our friend Mike Brady from Ocean Liner Designs is in on the joke.
I’m very glad science has proven that Mike Brady is one of my friends. He’s already one of my favorite UA-camrs!
I continue to be amazed by the incredible work the Titanic H&G crew have done. The attention to detail and the lighting makes this all feel so astonishingly real. ❤
To be fair if you had taken as long as them you could probably do something wonderful too.
Great time to upload michael. My elevensies coffee is just ready aswel as some speculoos biscuits!
25:53 I absolutely ADORE the little fact here thst was so easily recalled. Knowing when Linoleum was invented is fascinating.
If youre reading my comment, i salute 🫡 you good sir.
Also though, how did you know it was invented in 1860?
Happy Monday/Tuesday friend Mike Brady!
A Shout out to MB from those of us here watching from the FOMBS.🤗🙏
It’s our friend, mike Brady!
So niceee !! I've always wondered about the forgotten second class
i'm so glad that you're my friend, Mike Brady. in a very real way, it warms my heart every single time i watch one of your videos.
like the rest, this is wonderful, if depressing. heh, it feels very ironic for the current time tbh.....
Honour and glory looks really cool.
I think modding adventure out of time would be cool too with new rooms
Your videos make my day. Thank you for your humor and delivery on everything my friend
Love that you start all videos thay way! And the little smile with today's scientific intro 😂❤ Love your videos!
My good friend Mike Brady! Thanks for showing us around!
Excellent video. I would love to see a video about the Titanic bridges and how they were built. 👌🏾🙏🏾💐⚓️🚢
It always makes me smile real big when you say you're my friend, Mike Brady. Thanks dude.
mike brady's done it again
Thank you. I enjoyed this video very much!!
