Seeing the Olympic and Aquitania (Two of my favorite Ocean Liners of all-time!) in UE5 is something I never thought I would. But of course, Lucas, THG, and Jack created/animated these gorgeous ships so eloquently! Loved this doc Mike, please keep these coming. They’re so informative and beautiful! 💙🙏🏻✌️🏻
This is professional-grade, documentary-length, documentary-QUALITY work, for which UA-cam can't compensate you enough. Bravo. This should be airing on television, or in classrooms around Australia.
Wow! Mike, this is the most professional video of yours yet! I've watched through it all, and i am absolutely shaken! This is genuinely the best ship-related video i have EVER seen! You deserve much more recognition for this work. Mostly because this video is fully three-dimensional! Over 40 minutes of pure delightfulness.
I'm thinking we will indeed see more installments. The three-stackersvwere something of a brief interlude between the four and two-stackers, but some of the greatest and most iconic ships had three funnels...Normandie; Queen Mary; the "Imperator Class" in both original German form and later American and British guise; Empress of Britain; Île de France... Of course, the "deux- cheminée" liners were many and there were no shortage of great ships among them.
I don't remember where I heard it, but after world war II, RMS Aquitania was sailing near Italy, and from the mainland, the marines radio'd the ship saying "Unknown Four-Stacker, identify yourself." to which the captain cheekily said "We're the only four-stacker left in the world." and just thinking about that exchange makes me laugh to this day. Excellent video, a great time capsule explaining the golden age of the ocean liner. Also I must say that French pronunciation was very good. Looking forward to the next video!
I absolutely adore that million-dollar shot for Lusitania, awesome video Mike, are you going to make a part 3 with ships like Queen Mary and Normandie?
Since I have just left a Titanic Museum, this video came out at a perfect time. The animations already look gorgeous. Thank you for your high quality videos Mike!
Which museum location did you go to? I went to the Orlando one about 2 weeks ago and it was fascinating seeing all the artifacts and walking through the exhibit!! Great video Mike you never fail to amaze us with your work!!
I'm actually building a custom-made model of a fictional Cunard four-stacked named the RMS Cappadocia. It's basically a carbon-copy of the Lusitania and/or the Mauritania but a bit bigger and more luxurious than its sisters. (1st-class being odored with opulent Ottoman architecture). I'm basically kitbashing from various model kits and custom making parts out of styrene for the desired result. I had a friend 3D print some 1/400 Cunard funnels for me and the ship's hull is from a 1/400 Titanic kit. Parts of the superstructure are being made by hand and borrowed from a 1/350 Titanic kit, also.
So how did you get on? Because that is - authentically - something I'd like to see, WIP or otherwise. Sounds like a genuinely interesting passion project. Thanks! 😀
Loved the line about inebriated first class passengers navigating back to their rooms! Top stuff as always, lovely to see Mauritania in the spotlight, Newcastles finest!
This really is unbelievable content, I can't explain how happy I am to have stumbled upon this channel a few months ago. Mike and team, thank you for all that you do, and I can't wait to see your continued success!
Ever since you teased this video a few weeks ago, I’ve been looking forward to this with bated breath. Excellent work, Mike, your truly are a master at your craft. May you continue to rise. Truly remarkable work by you and your entire team.
No, don't. The content would be watered down, political messages would be shoehorned into the narrative, and besides, who watches broadcast TV these days?
Hey Mike, this video was such a treat on a rainy and miserable Sunday evening. It wa so interesting and so well made. I think Aquitania may just be my favourite of the 4 funnel ships, how gorgeous was she! ❤
These models look SO SO elegant, they almost look like they're real and they're sailing today! What I'd give to go back in time and marvel at these absolutely breathtaking ocean liners.
This was spectacular. The quality of the animation, the narrative, your reassuring voice. And it's interesting to me that having seen much of your work, you have made me feel that you are genuinely our friend. Thank you!
I know this is a pretty vanilla comment. But your channel is absolutely top shelf. Youre a wonderful orator and your graphics are fabulous. Youve never made a video that didn't thoroughly impress the heck out of me and im subscribed to many. Thank you for the long and detail loaded videos. It is very much appreciated.
Mike, this video was absolutely amazing! I mean, all your videos are amazing, but WOW. This one was truly impeccable. Maybe it’s because I love the four stackers beyond words, but man... Serious props to you Mike, and the Oceanliner Designs team for this wonderful video, as well as to Jack for these beautiful animations. Cheers to my friend, Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs! Never a dull video. Keep up the amazing work, I know you will, and rest assured that the hard work and dedication doesn’t go unappreciated.
@ParagonRagtimeVideos music is raising the bar on these videos even more! Absolutely splendid in their performance and recording engineering! @OceanlinerDesigns, all of the partnerships you’ve made recently have really elevated your productions to such amazing heights. Thank you for all the work you and your partners are putting into these videos. It’s so clear how much passion those involved have for what they are doing.
Fantastic stuff as always my friend 😁 any chance we can get a project on any Great Lakes freighters? I know they aren't liners, but I'm super curious to see what you could tell us!
I got to sail on a liner, one of the last in service, The Norway, as a cruise ship in the Caribbean. Beautiful ship in and out, and much more unique than any cruise ship I have been on.
Marvelous, Mauretania especially has always been a fascination of mine, thank you so much for this is comprehensive, beautifully done, and as always, your narration is great.
A good summary of the four-stackers' history - but I'm looking forward to the continuation where you complete the story with the Arundel Castle (1921) and Windsor Castle (1922) on the Southampton to Cape Town route.
Beautiful ships, Mike. Thank you for presenting this. Also, I saw the picture of you and your grandpa. The resemblance is uncanny. Makes the relationship extra special.
Quite an entertaining and well produced production this one I must say? I like the way you continue to keep us intrigued with all this intricate detail...fasinates the imagination in capturing the era - completely...luv it!
Wonderful as usual. I will say that the music was wonderful, but the volume was too loud transitioning away from your narration. Just some feedback, I really appreciate your time and effort!
On my night stand, I have post cards from my Aunt Marion who crossed on all of the large 4 funnel ships... and I have a post card of Aquatania and Lusitania...... and others.... I love your vids....Scott/Fort Worth, Tx
After 35 years of researching Titanic and yearning for details of the ship, I still wonder what it must've been like for the passengers in the lifeboats to watch the great liner going down.
Mike please do a video on what the letters before a ships name mean. such MV, SSC, RMS, (if SSC is actually one) there r so many do them all please. Apologies in advance I don't know how to contact you, this isn't a comment on the video above
NGL would honestly kill to see a video with these model shots and NOTHING else. Just play some music in the background, be a nice stress reliever for me... :)
I can’t even begin to imagine a future where all three Olympic sisters survived because I’m sure if they did white star line would still be around not Cunard and I’m sure it would’ve been crazy.
I knew of the FRANCE, but didn’t know much about her. I was astonished that she could make 23 1/2 knots- only half a knot slower than the MAURETANIA. What did she have for a power plant?
Flight was 1903, not 1909, and I must admit that the old joke about everything new in cultural, technical, and fashion advancements taking about 5-10 years to reach Australia crossed my mind immediately. Sorry, couldn't help it. 😉😁😆 But, as always your video is dazzling and impressive, informative as well as charmingly presented. In the absence of enough genuine period photographs to truly get across the reality that was these magnificent vessels, these stunning animations are not only spot-on correct, but are also rendered in a lovingly kinetic style, made to breathe with their motion and color, giving the viewers the closest thing to actually walking the decks of these proud, stately, and regal giants that anyone, sadly enough, will ever get in this world from now on. That easily constitutes a raising of the content creation bar to a point where mere infotainment becomes something much more. It becomes a gift to anyone in the world who dreams of the bygone ages of our collective past, times that have been remembered and made precious, being treasured by a great many for their boldness, audacity, beauty, and majesty, and times that now find themselves being defined for posterity by filmmakers, learned scholars, intrepid explorers, and ever so often, even the likes of we curious few amateurs and aficionados who have waded and slogged through the years long assault of conspiracy codswallop, revisionist clickbait, and the BS bog and misinformative muck of "Bigfoot Sinks Titanic!" and "Alien Mind-control Ensured Californian Inaction," to finally get HERE where a welcoming community of devoted ship geeks and navy nerds can unite to dispell myths, expand knowledge, and in the process make a few friends who share those aforementioned dreams of ages gone. So, well done, and thank you for what you and yours do here. There are few gifts in this world that truly do keep on giving, and knowledge is one of them. 👍🤔🧐👨🏻🎓😊
General question: In James Cameron's romance movie, he depicts large unorganized crowd on the dock and the rich people arriving by car rights in the middle of that crowd and somehow finding a cruise line worker to take on their luggage to stateroom? Then we switch to the rich folks boarding from some gangway, while Leonardo and his buddy jump onto a still open door at dock level and just claim they have tickets. However the gangway seems to be a tower going up from the dock and then the bridge to ship at right level. (as opposed to the bridge to ship being attached to terminal). In reality, would cruise ports of that era truyly have had open area with huge crowds, or would the docks be a controlled area reserved for cargo loading and all passengers having to go through a terminal and then have narrow file of people from terminal to ship?
Good evening from the states Mike! Just curious, why did you say 1909 when referencing the rise of airplanes? At 23:40 Were you misspoken or are you referencing something specific after the actual invention of flight?
Now this what i called a proper documentary. Not like the other "facts" channel that brings a lot and lot of misinformation and already debunked myth, especially surrounding the Titanic.
Excellent documentary.. Very well presented.. even those not interested in this subject are easily enticed in with your great commentary and interesting facts.. Many Thanks for your great work.
Titanic may have casted an unfortunate shadow on the ocean liner for decades, but, strangely, she is the reason why so many people now know, and want to learn more, about these giants.
This is so true. I remember learning about it for the first time in 7th grade, 1997, and I felt bad for the ship and I wanted to know more about it. That lead me into WW2 battleships, which are my favorite warships, besides submarines. I wish that WW2 style battleships still sailed. I would love to see, hear and feel a battleships guns fire, I bet it would be amazing in person.

Well done 👏 Mike. I literally just caught the very end this live, but was more than happy to go back and enjoy your film. Thanks again for the hard work 🎉❤😊!
Thanks, I must be having an off day. I appreciate you and all you do for us ocean liner history fans. Also, your Chusan video is still my all time favorite. I love everything about it, but especially the music. Only wish I knew the names of the particular songs so I could find them
My dad served in the US Navy during WW2 and told me he remembered seeing the Aquitania and how massive it was. He also mentioned it was pretty old at the time.
As it was said during WW2, the venerable Aquitania (by this point the only true four-funnelled liner still sailing) was often older than the majority of her passengers, and yet she was loved by most who sailed on her.
It's honestly such a shame Britannic never sailed as a passenger ship. She would've been the finest ship ever built, and maybe there would be a chance for her to have survived to the present day.
Some people say the gantry davits make Britannic a bit cluttered looking, but to me, it shows she's prepared and capable to take priority in an emergency. Following the loss of their sister, she and Olympic were made stronger and truly unsinkable. Well, that's how it should've been for Britannic, but WW1 thought otherwise. Britannic did fight to the end, though, and thanks to her extra lifeboats, almost all on board her got off unharmed. The Olympic class were meant to be Britain's last word in size and luxury, but ultimate tragedy and blood ridden conflicts took two of them away, with one left alive. Alone. Olympic should NEVER have been scrapped. Think of how popular she would be as a floating hotel today.
@@allidragon7041agreed. Olympic & Mauretania should have been preserved. People would come from all over the world to see Titanic & Lusitanias surviving sisters
Mike, I am rapidly running out of superlatives for this channel. You have truly realised the Edwardian era of ship design, not just by these stunning visuals, but now also by the soundtrack too. This feature is a (re) creation of beauty. Ships of legend streaming into sunsets of purple and gold, the sunlight glinting between the Lusitania's funnels. I'm blown away! You and your team are working miracles.
Seeing the Olympic and Aquitania (Two of my favorite Ocean Liners of all-time!) in UE5 is something I never thought I would. But of course, Lucas, THG, and Jack created/animated these gorgeous ships so eloquently!

Ditto! This should be on television as a documentary...it's that good!
Oceanliner Designs and Summoning Salt are the only youtubers that i will watch every new video without hesitation
Hear! Hear!
Great job Mike, quality piece of work, your passion shines through 😊

Q.M. lay on the stocks uncompleted, just a builder's number for years till the government stepped in and then Queen Elizabeth was built too.

So much style and grace. I love the four funnel look. Some others are beautiful but four tunnels ones are special to me.
Get this man a Documentary Show on TV
No, don't. The content would be watered down, political messages would be shoehorned into the narrative, and besides, who watches broadcast TV these days?
@@phaasch Well a show similar to Oceanliner Designs isn't called 'Great British Ships', do check it out sometime it's by a Man named Rob Bell
Hey Mike, this video was such a treat on a rainy and miserable Sunday evening. It wa so interesting and so well made. I think Aquitania may just be my favourite of the 4 funnel ships, how gorgeous was she! ❤
Beautifully produced. So good to see the SS France get some love, too. She's sadly overlooked.

Just when I think I know everything about old liners, Mike comes along with buckets of cool trivia.
Liked the quality and learned lot about Ocean liner from late 18 century and early 19 century
Mike your really good at animation could you develop a simulator where you can sail old ocean liners with a verry indepth operating components
I would love this!
this was an amazing video, i was engaged emotionally and mentally from start to finish, thanks a lot
Marvelous, Mauretania especially has always been a fascination of mine, thank you so much for this is comprehensive, beautifully done, and as always, your narration is great.
Finally this amazing channel covered my most favourite ocean liner- SS France (1910). Great job! Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ you have no idea how happy this makes me.
I love learning about sea travel! Especially ocean liners!!!
11:37 Wish more night sequence like this 😭😭😭😭 just stunning
Mike, if at all possible, your work just gets better with every video. Bravo.
A good summary of the four-stackers' history - but I'm looking forward to the continuation where you complete the story with the Arundel Castle (1921) and Windsor Castle (1922) on the Southampton to Cape Town route.
Thanks for mentioning those two vessels, one of which had a long life.
I Can't wait for the second part, thank you ❣.
Mike: you’ve done it again my boy. Fantastic!
Thank you.
Absolutely superb documentary - well made and well produced - top quality in every respect.
Beautiful ships, Mike. Thank you for presenting this. Also, I saw the picture of you and your grandpa. The resemblance is uncanny. Makes the relationship extra special.
Interesting video, stressing how quickly ships were overtaken by newer vessels long before they had reached the end of their expected service life.
Quite an entertaining and well produced production this one I must say? I like the way you continue to keep us intrigued with all this intricate detail...fasinates the imagination in capturing the era - completely...luv it!
I remember asking about the SS France on a stream a year or so ago! So worth the wait!
Bloody hell. Add 2 more figures to the subscriber count and view count. This is a masterpiece
You’re an amazing story teller…Greeting from Athens Greece
Finally! Someone using the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra on an Edwardian ocean liner video!
We need them to come back! They have style! 🙌🏻❤️
Genuinely a really excellent piece of work, Mike.
Wonderful as usual. I will say that the music was wonderful, but the volume was too loud transitioning away from your narration. Just some feedback, I really appreciate your time and effort!
Brilliant stuff learnt so much from this.

Mike there is an issue with rms olympic at 16:59, the bell on the foward mast is in the back, it should be in the front.
After 35 years of researching Titanic and yearning for details of the ship, I still wonder what it must've been like for the passengers in the lifeboats to watch the great liner going down.
Remember the four funneled liners!
I learn so much from watching your videos!
You ought to consider video on the SS Great Britain which pioneered ocean travel by steam, especially as it is preserved in Bristol.
I’ve been waiting for ages for this 🎉🎉
Thanks for the exceptional video! Let's all go for a cruise!
This was really well done.
Turbinia! She’s on display in The Discovery Museum in my hometown. She’s bloody gorgeous 😄
Olympians are my fav design
OLYMPIC TITANIC AND BRITTANIC
Pity they never lived the day all 3 to be docked at the same spot.
Is there going to be a part 3 to this documentary? Love it!
Thanks Mike, very well done.

I just keep thinking how much those ships would’ve benefited from a bulbous bow, and my brain and heart cries.
if war hadn't broken out, do you think we would have seen 2X4 funnel ships?
Goated video
I was hoping for a little bit more background on the reasoning for actually using four funnels. Why did QM and Normandie revert back to three?
My Greatgreatgrandpaparents were passengers on "France" before the Great War.
nice story michael

Indeed it does
If she hadnt sunk, there'd be like 19 people today who knew anything about her. Instead, today theres more _conspiracy theories_ about her than that.
This is so true. I remember learning about it for the first time in 7th grade, 1997, and I felt bad for the ship and I wanted to know more about it. That lead me into WW2 battleships, which are my favorite warships, besides submarines. I wish that WW2 style battleships still sailed.

@@OceanlinerDesignsthank you so much, I must be having an off day. I appreciate you and all you do for us in the community
Thanks, I must be having an off day. I appreciate you and all you do for us ocean liner history fans.
Also, your Chusan video is still my all time favorite. I love everything about it, but especially the music. Only wish I knew the names of the particular songs so I could find them
My dad served in the US Navy during WW2 and told me he remembered seeing the Aquitania and how massive it was. He also mentioned it was pretty old at the time.
As it was said during WW2, the venerable Aquitania (by this point the only true four-funnelled liner still sailing) was often older than the majority of her passengers, and yet she was loved by most who sailed on her.

It's honestly such a shame Britannic never sailed as a passenger ship. She would've been the finest ship ever built, and maybe there would be a chance for her to have survived to the present day.
Some people say the gantry davits make Britannic a bit cluttered looking, but to me, it shows she's prepared and capable to take priority in an emergency. Following the loss of their sister, she and Olympic were made stronger and truly unsinkable. Well, that's how it should've been for Britannic, but WW1 thought otherwise. Britannic did fight to the end, though, and thanks to her extra lifeboats, almost all on board her got off unharmed.
The Olympic class were meant to be Britain's last word in size and luxury, but ultimate tragedy and blood ridden conflicts took two of them away, with one left alive. Alone. Olympic should NEVER have been scrapped. Think of how popular she would be as a floating hotel today.
I like her more outside as hospital ship and inside as Ocean liner
If she did survive i think she would've been scrapped like the olympic.
@@Garry46977yes and she will be gone for ever she is Still in Kea Chanel
@@allidragon7041agreed. Olympic & Mauretania should have been preserved. People would come from all over the world to see Titanic & Lusitanias surviving sisters
Mike, I am rapidly running out of superlatives for this channel. You have truly realised the Edwardian era of ship design, not just by these stunning visuals, but now also by the soundtrack too. This feature is a (re) creation of beauty. Ships of legend streaming into sunsets of purple and gold, the sunlight glinting between the Lusitania's funnels.
I'm blown away! You and your team are working miracles.
Amen!
He’s brilliant, isn’t he?
