I never thought that a man who says with sincerity, "I'm you're good friend Mike Brady" would be taken seriously. Well I apologize. Your content is fantastic & combined with knowledge, a classy wardrobe and a wonderful disposition makes for a truly great experience. Thanks ever much '
Yes, he seems very genuine. He also seems to take great pride in putting out quality videos. Honestly, I think he'd have fit right in on some massive ship at the turn of the 20th century.
I think your videos are a rare treat, and I never fail to enjoy them. I know these programs don't just happen, so I'd like to thank you for all your hard work.
just got back from visiting the titanic museum in belfast, it was brilliant and i knew a lot about the ship already thanks to this guy. still learned loads from the museum though

@@jamesgroccia644 oh I knew what you meant it's ok. I was just mentioning that I got to tour it which was a really cool experience and i wasn't sure if you knew that it was there. Although based on your username I assume you did.
Hello and Greetings...I am 60 and retired and your channel is wonderful....Educational.........Content and voice delivery make it easy to fall asleep.....That is a compliment! Carry On
Titanic is how I discovered this channel, but I enjoy all of the other content as well. Tbh, thought about most of these questions. But I still enjoyed learning the answers. (Tho' I could have done without the close up pic of the ship worm! 😂)
Another epic, informative video from our friend, Mike Brady 😎 the man who is not a myth, but a legend in maritime history.....and we are all better off because of it
My good friend, Mike, I could listen to you talk about ships for many many hours at a time. These videos are a treat every time they show up and I feel like I learn something new every time. I have had interest in ocean liners ever since I was 3 years old, bc thats the year they found Titanic, and you've managed to restoke that flame many times over. Tomorrow in fact, I'm going to the Titanic exhibit at Cosi in Columbus Ohio and I cannot wait. Thank you for sharing your interest with us every time, cheers! and until next time!
It'll be easy now to send this video to people who ask me questions, so that they can just watch this instead of 5 separate videos! Thanks for the recaps, Mike! Hope you enjoy your vacation!
I love how u makes your video, and how easy it is to understand your english for non english speaking people (norwegians,swedes and so on). I love u dont use slang in your english. U makes great videos and u learn people alot without being "wiseguy". Keep up your good work and i finds your videos very interesting.
I always love these videos because its a topic I know very little about, putting on Maritime content has been my go to while I complete work and I'd say that your channel takes priority over the others. Great work as always!
I have no idea how UA-cam suggested one of these videos to me, I am not interested in maritime history, but my goodness, what a quality channel! Fun and informative. I do feel I have a good friend here! Thanks so much.
Mike, you are so wholesome... "Nice lemonade, or ice coffee". Whilst I'm sat here like a savage, drinking a nice, cool beer! 😅 Keep them videos coming mate!
Hello Mike from your friend Andrew Williams. A first class piece of highly informative entertainment, Sir. Your UA-cam contributions and those of one or two other dedicated creators are the reason I hardly ever tune in to the TV nowadays. Oh yes, I also love the Edwardian style shirts n collars you regularly wear too. I have experimented for years by now in starching and polishing detachable collars and have sort of got there in the end. Very Smart, Sir ! Well done all round. Keep it up.
You and your friends at OceanLiner Designs did it again, Mr. Brady... I can't believe how fascinating you made it to learn about the "simple" evolutions of ship building... I am such an idiot, but you always make me feel wiser! Thank you, again!
Ahhh, that iconic Cunard look is so nice. I love how one of the old buildings in downtown Edmonton has a faded Cunard office ad on the old brick. Never really noticed it until I started watching this channel!
I'm Irish, I was at hay and turf all day, I went on the beer after, I'm mad drunk and I love your stories and this one will put me to sleep , cheers buddy (west of Ireland)
Absolutely love your channel and shows!! My young son and I watch one every night and now he looks at me and asks “daddy are we going to watch the show about big boats?” Keep it up!!
THAT IS SO COOL!!! I NEVER would have guessed that lights forward of the bridge are fitted with shrouds of some sort to aid in protecting forward-directed vision... Learn something new every day!
To be perhaps a bit radical... A radar set is basically a spotlight, it just shines in a color much too red to be seen by the human eye - So we get special equipment to let us see what the light is shining on. Yeah, it's a bit pedantic, but... Okay, fine, I'll be quiet
Lol, this is one of the few channels that almost every other video i check to make sure im subscribed. If i had more money id do more to keep the channels i enjoy goin but for now its all i can do. Getting to see this dude talk about boats is one of the few reasons to enjoy being alive in the present time lol great content🙌🙌
Traditional red hulls are really deeply ingrained into ship culture. This year when the battleship New Jersey went into drydock they found that when her hull was last painted in 1991 it was painted all black. During the drydock this spring they went back to the red hull with black boot topping. It's not anti-foul paint but it is the right colors again.
Ships started it, and today we still use it almost everywhere. Red-left, green-right, white tail (backward) is the standard navigation/position lights on all aircraft. Even if aircraft do have landing and taxi lights at the front, sometimes even recognition lights that even flash.
Thanks Mike... Now I know that MV stands for Motor Vessel, and not, as I had previously thought (though, I dont know why!!) Marine Vessel. I was thinking of the MV Communicator which was anchored (?) somewhere of the South of England, or maybe, in the North Sea (?) and held a pirate radio station during the 1980''s. Charlie Wolf was one of my favourite DJ's on that ship, and we used to write to each other about music (and cookery, what meals they cooked and ate at sea etc) !! Fun times!! ❤⚓☠️🚤🚁🛥️🎶🤭🎧🎵😊🏴♥️🇬🇧🎵🙂🖖
Very much appreciated that you’re willing to do a video while on vacation but go out and enjoy yourself. Alternatively would love for you to head out to Michigan in the US and come enjoy some of the largest fresh water lakes in the world and tell us about how the Great Lakes can be some of the most treacherous waters of the world
Thank you for making things understandable for the common man. Not just sailors or people who know about ships. The initials of ships carrying crude oil have their own dictionary. Happy Sailsl
Thank you, Mike. I have always loved all things Titanic. Thanks to you, there's a whole world of interesting sea faring studies. Thanks for making an informative, interesting video once again.
I worked on a towboat pushing barges up and down the Mississippi. At night we were required to wear headlamps to see what we were doing, and the boat itself was equipped with two large spotlights the captain could control from the wheelhouse. Half of the time we kept them off, most nights you could work solely off the moonlight. They were there for those moonless nights, and for when we were to far off in the swamp that the trees blocked out any light. Those of us on the deck crew hated the spotlights for the sole fact that some captains would put them on you "in regards to safety", blinding you and drawing out every mosquito in the state to your location
Part of making my Tiny Metal Trees is concealing the glue by sprinkling miniature rocks (gravel) on it. I recently started going to the beach to harvest gravel myself (+ maybe shells and sea-glass) which I clean and partially sort by color to use in this way on different colored rocks. One component of the dark colored gravel assortment is bits of slag from steamships' burners which was just dumped overboard as waste. It is mostly black and vitreous with varied discolorations and textures depending on whatever gunk had not been completely burned. It looks kind of like a lava-rock crossed with a meteorite, but is really neither. I just opened the can of this color blend of gravel to use it, right at the very moment that our friend Mike Brady said "steamship"! To be fair, some of the material probably managed to make it's way from locomotives too, but there was a good chunk of time where the harbor would have been relatively full of steamships and nobody exactly considered this convenient disposal pollution, except probably the fish. Now, some tiny bits of this stuff get sold to tourists and are once more making their way around the world. We're a cruise-ship port so some of the bits are even going by sea again!
It's 108°F where I am today! You have such polite man nerisms, Mike! I hoped to be a barnacle scraper as a kid! Sadly, here in Idaho, there's not much need for barnacle scrapers! Great post, Mike! Thanks
Before Mike answers the question about the red color, I'm going to say what I've always been told: it is a red lead coating for anti-barnacle fouling. Wooden ships initially used copper sheathing for that.
Awesome video, Mike! I enjoyed the hour so much that it didn't seem like an hour. I was left with i want more. It is so interesting and educational. Thanks, Mike. 😊
This man singlehandedly kept my interest in maritime history alive.
Thank you Mike for such amazing videos

Came for Titanic content and stayed for Mike and his other great content.
Mike Brady is single-handedly responsible for UA-cam still being worth using.
Honestly
oh my god is that an hour long mike brady video?????????????????
this is the best day of my life
Have to appreciate a guy that puts effort into his appearance for his audience. What a champ!
In the Navy, we painted it "once for dust and twice for rust"
Third before muster, fourth for bluster.
The land equivalent is: If it's on the ground, pick it up; if it moves, salute it; if it doesn't, paint it!
57 minutes of Mike Brady? 🤤 ❤

I am still waiting for the part 4 of Ocean Liner evolution
just got back from visiting the titanic museum in belfast, it was brilliant and i knew a lot about the ship already thanks to this guy. still learned loads from the museum though
Awesome!
Was our friend Mike Brady given an honourable mention anywhere there?
Fun fact: HMS Belfast and SS Nomadic are the only two ships built by Harland & Wolff that are still in one piece, not counting shipwrecks.

As a former Navy helmsman, i really enjoy your videos and had quiet some laughs when you explained what the SS etc stands for! Thank you for this
This channel is perfect for me because I plan on going into naval architecture in the future.
Mike - Your channel is fantastic! The highest compliment I can pay you is that you’re the Mark Felton of all things ships and the sea! Thank you!
It's nice to come home from work and see a new Oceanliner Design video up with my friend Mike Brady!
I hope you enjoy your vacation.
Mike Brady loves ocean liners so much that when he takes a bath, he insists on calling it sea trials!
Love u man!
As a career US Navy sailor, it is nice that I understand all of the technical and maritime terms. Really enjoy your channel!
Eeeyyy! Mike Brady! The man who came into my life and changed the course of it! 🎉
Have quit my forensics course and took up a master degree in history instead. With a dissertation on Titanic 🎉
Yes. It's our friend Mike Brady from oceanliner designs

Hey. It's my friend, Mike Brady. You know, the oceanliner designs guy😊
There are a few exceptions to the “red hull” as some ships including the Mauretania (in her late career) had the hull green below the waterline
It'll be easy now to send this video to people who ask me questions, so that they can just watch this instead of 5 separate videos!
Thanks for the recaps, Mike! Hope you enjoy your vacation!
Thanks for putting out a video while you're on vacation! I appreciate you and your content!
I got to say man if no one else has said it, your current intro is awsome!!!!!!!!
This is truly a movie quality video that I have to dim my room lights to enjoy it, and I cannot believe that this is all for free! GREAT video!
I think Mike Brady’s voice could soothe the tensest of men
Our friend Mike Brady has a really relaxing voice. Stories are told in a way that it keeps me interested. ❤
I didn't know I cared for maritime history/ship design until I watched one of your videos! That's definitely saying something I think, keep it up!
This channel is so far advanced on any given topic like this I wouldn't even dare to do my own research.... keep up the good work... This is awesome.
