Thank you so much for all of your astoundingly kind comments! A lot of you seem to enjoy the music in particular so please enjoy this playlist of the soundtrack :) kzfaq.info/sun/PLxVUnfwCfa4ZRHyFOSP8KNetSjtD3SVNE

The quality of these productions is just breathtaking. Better than anything I have seen on TV. Just amazing.

"Britain not only rules the waves, but waives the rules," is solid gold.

Hey! It’s our friend, Mike Brady, from Oceanliner Designs!

Evil Mike Brady be like: Hello everyone I'm your Enemy Brike Mady from Jetliner Blueprints 😈

Our friend, Mike Brady, is such a legend!

This is more than a KZfaq video. It rivals large scale productions by major media companies. I am simply amazed.

This can compete with any broadcast production. You, and your team, should be immensely proud.

These videos are truly so much better than any documentary you would find on Netflix or TV. Mike and the Oceanliner Designs team deserve so much credit for this amazing work.

I get so stumped at the sheer quality of your videos these days. They look and sound so incredibly marvellous. Just as these beautiful ships deserve to be remembered.

Came because I’m interested in Titanic, stayed because I have now developed an interest in all oceanliners. Thank you, our friend Mike Brady 🫡

I’ve just checked into a hotel for the night. Looking for something to watch before I sleep and up pops this beauty. Thank you, our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs.

I didn’t realize how much I love ocean liners until I stumbled across the Titanic videos. Then I realized I really wanted to see Lusitania covered because I once wrote a screenplay about it out of boredom during world history class after becoming fascinated by it because I was already into war history (especially the First World War). This has awoken a passion that has been dormant for 20 years. I really think the Lusitania deserves more love and recognition.

That animation of Lusitania sailing in the storm at night is awesome.

God I love this channel SO MUCH!!! 😩🥲

The man the myth the legend, but most importantly, our freind Mike Brady is back with another banger.

My son and I have a tradition of watching your videos while we work on our Lego projects! He calls you 'the nice ship man' - which is a giant leap forward from the grainy VHS tapes I watched at his age. Thanks for making this content so engaging and accessible. Keep up the great work!

I love oceanliner history and historical ships. 1915 was when my people, the Armenians were going through a genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire (Germany's ally) and April 24 marked the first day of the organized crime. Just a month before Lusitania sinking and the killings would continue until 1918, roughly. My great-grandfather, who was a survivor, had traveled on the Oceania in 1910 to visit America for the first time, then returned back to Armenia (Aintab). He became a hero, fighting alongside the French, against the Turks. This is a very dark period for me, obviously and watching this, I can't help to think of everything our homeland was going through. We lost 75% of our population and 90% of our lands.

Mike... what an awesome job on this! Was nice to see something on this beautiful girl about her history, not just one day of it. I'm booked for my 3rd trans-Atlantic next March, and I remember my first, thinking what it must have been like back then, to see England slipping away and nothing but ocean ahead for a week. Granted, the QM2 is a totally different beast, but the feeling was there. Sailing into NY harbor at 4am, seeing the Statue of Liberty lit up... it was emotional, to think of the millions of people who did this trip, not for vacation, but for a new life... these classic ladies deserve the honor you've been giving them, not just because of tragedy, but because of the new world they helped create.

How does our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs keep consistently pumping out videos of such quality? What a legend

this ship is close to home my grandmother was born in 1895 and when she worked in the hotels she was called on to wash the bodies from the Lusitania, she told my father once about it and never spoke of it again her name was Rebecca Longwill

No other author has gone into such detail as Mr Brady just did with this video. Absolutely brilliant writing and CG. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us.

The opulence of the Lusitania's interior is truly something to behold. What a special ship she must have been to sail on.

Looking at the interior pics it’s just so hard to imagine such a beautiful place being destroyed, seeing all those spaces being filled with water

This is such a beautiful and engrossing production ❤

I have to say this production is probably one of the best I’ve seen of a maritime documentary the likes of which I haven’t seen since peak Discovery Channel

Another epic video. Very proud of another Melburnian having one of the best maritime channels on KZfaq!

Mike. Your work is a gift and a highlight every week! Well done sir and thank you!

Our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs delivered a formidable piece of work!

There is a media presenter and documentary narrator in my language who is legendary for his dark, soothing and listenable voice that keeps your attention no matter what he talks about. Everyone my age in my country will immedeatly recognise his voice... I think Mike Brady is a serious contender to his Throne - and he Talks about my favorite topic 😃

Thank you for telling the story of how she lived, rather than focusing on her tragic death. The graphic of the torpedo hit and the single scene of flooding was more than sufficient and allowed this wonderful presentation to maintain its largely uplifting feel.

Thank you so much to Mike and the dream team . I have been so looking forward to seeing this masterpiece , bringing the Lusitania back to life .

An hour long video from our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs? Fantastic!

My friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs, you put out the BEST content., production, and most informative on everything associated with ships, exceeding anything on TV or any other media. I'm 53 and have learned so much in the past 3 year's then the previous 50. Thank you for all that you do in expanding the knowledge for 100's of thousands people.

The quality of these videos is getting pretty damn serious. I have watched 'proper' TV documentaries with less research, worse visuals and less professional 3D graphics. Top quality job here Mike, and if someone isn't looking to employ you to do this professionally, they damn well should. The whole team here deserve high praise.

Just breathtaking, the level of professionalism is a total credit to you Mr Brady. And was great to see Max Miller from Tasting History giving you a shout out recommending your work here. These productions deserve to be seen on mainstream TV.

Thank you very much for making this tribute to this magnificent ship. When I was 8 years old, one day while reading an article about the Titanic, they mentioned it and when I researched it and saw its beautiful design, I fell in love with it. For some reason I like its design, history and interiors more than those of the Titanic. I am currently 23 years old and I am still fascinated with it, with each passing year I learn something new about its magnificent history and legacy. It is a shame that it does not have the recognition it deserves, thanks to people like you with these projects that give such a magnificent ship the honor and recognition it deserves. Although she will never be as famous as the Titanic, one thing I am sure of is that she will always be my favorite ship in the world. Excellent work!

That was a terrific account of Lucy's early life, Mike, thank you! I especially liked the telling of her encounter with the rogue wave. That must have been terrifying for everyone on the bridge. She looks positively wicked in dark gray (40:25).

Huge props to whoever did the music for the part where Lusitania takes her first voyage. Absolutely breathtaking.

I've been OBSESSED with ships since I was 5 and when I heard about Lusitania (when I was 7) I jumped up and immediately sprinted to watch videos, read books and search Google. I didn't find many videos and many books but then I found your channel which I am heavily grateful for because I can trust you to give solid research and true statements and due to your channel I have found so many more ships to research thanks to you, thank you P.S.Whenever I click on your videos I get so happy to hear that iconic " hi it's me Mike Brady from ocean liner designs" which I usually enjoy with a nice cup of tea

Idk why, but “speed queens into vicious hunters,” scratched my brain just right. Something about this episode is just *chef’s kiss, truly. Loved the addition of the German language whispers - I felt the urgency there. So good.

BLOWN AWAY by not only the actual stock footage and photos but the VIDEO quality you produced to make it look like it's currently in the ocean glistening in the sunlight / moonlight. All the narrative details just a big BRAVO to you for bringing the past so nicely into present! 🤩 or taking us viewers into the past.

Normally watch your videos from the Central Coast of NSW but am on holidays and watching from Gdansk in Poland @Oceanliner Designs

Hands furiously wringing in anticipation of part 2

Lusitania has always been one of my favorite liners. I love to see her getting so much attention again. Everyone at Oceanliner Designs has done such an amazing and fantastic job of bringing this beautiful ocean liner back to life. ❤😊

This documentary might be the best event of this May. Such a beautiful and colorful graphics, great narrative and deep knowledge of the events. Thank you for this masterpiece. Can't wait for the second part!

The gorgeous greyhound has returned with our friend Mike Brady

This is seriously top notch. They could (and probably should) show this in schools.

Somehow... I have a bad feeling about this story`s end! But honestly... Oceanliner Designs always are on a quality level so high, that they easily win all competitions with documentations on TV about the same topics. You want to know something about ships and oceanliners? Come here... and answers will be given. The detail of information is so high, that one clearly feels the love for what the OD team is doing here. The CGI gets better and better, the sound and music is always on point... and the only word, that describes this clip correctly is historical docutainment. And thank you for making 2 parts... that way I learned a lot more about Lusitania than just her final minutes. And I am even sure, that part 2 will bring up dramatic informations, that are new to me, about her sinking. Because this happens every time, when I watch something from OD.

This is the best oceanliner channel on KZfaq! The best graphics, storytelling, and narrating! Well done to you and your team, Mike!

My husband came across your channel a couple of weeks ago when he was looking up the Titanic. He showed it to me and now I can't stop watching your videos; they are so engaging and the production quality is just excellent . Never knew I'd be interested in learning about oceanliners so thank you so much for sharing your passion with us.

This was such a good episode absolutely stunning and deserves to be on tv.thanks mike and the researchers

Mike is an absolute legend and a treasure

Absolutely incredible work! The renderings of Lusitania do her beauty such perfect justice! Here’s one of Lusitania and Mauretania’s quirkier innovations I’ve always found interesting: they were the first liners to offer Second Class passengers the same dining schedule as Saloon, meaning a casual mid-morning breakfast, a light midday meal (‘luncheon’), and a large multi-course ‘dinner’ later in the evening, as was only customary in affluent households. Up until after the war most other liners, including the other Cunarders, offered Second and Third Class a dining schedule familiar to a working class household: a small breakfast served early in the morning, a large late morning ‘dinner’, a light ‘tea’ in the early evening and a late evening ‘supper’. This is mentioned in a number of brochures as a means to appeal to fashionable urban middle class travellers who couldn’t quite afford first class on other ships but expected a higher standard of service than second class usually afforded. You could kind of think of Second on the L and the M as being the original Business Class.

These videos are so interesting and yet so peaceful and straight-forward. I might be the only one…but I listen to these on repeat while I play video games and it’s such a comfort, especially when I’m up late or not feeling well

My favourite liner. ❤ Ever since it was love at first sight, courtesy of Dr. Ballard's exploration in 1993, when my age was still in single figures, the 'Lucy' has been the top liner for me. Graceful, elegant and fast, I always considered her the loveliest of all the early 20th century liners. I was on the Old Head of Kinsale on May 7th, 2015, for the centenary. Even got talking to Capt. Turner's grandson, himself elderly. I laid flowers on the graves of victims in the graveyard of Kinsale church. I was in Cobh (formerly Queenstown) for the evening commemoration where dozens of boats, all covered in lights, slowly processed into the harbour, representing the returning flotilla that raced out to do what they could.😢 The flotilla was watched over by Cunard's representative, the liner Queen Victoria, the only one of the fleet still with an 'ia' ending to the name, marking the occasion by an overnight visit on her latest cruise. In 2019 I proposed to my then-girlfriend beside the Lusitania's propeller in Liverpool, having just had a meal at the top of the former HQ of White Star Line, across the road from the Cunard Building. She was delusional or stupid enough to say "yes." 😂 And in 2022, having delayed our marriage due to Covid, we finally had our honeymoon...aboard the Cunard liner Queen Victoria, who I had seen in Cobh those years before. To say that the Lusitania has been a rather integral part of my life in some odd ways is putting it mildly! 😂 Thank you, Mike, for a lovely look back at nearly a decade of a successful career before a tragic ending. The lovely Lucy deserves to be remembered for what she was before May 7th, 1915, as much as she is for that terrible afternoon. 😊

Hey! It's our special friend, Mike Brady, from Oceanliner Designs! Haha, the best time from my week, Greetings from Brazil my friend! 🇧🇷

I've been waiting for something like this for eternity

These videos just get better and better.. dare one say - unbeatable?

Happy to have Mike Brady’s last name as my first, it’s an honour.

The writing is awesome, my compliments to the writer.

Yay! Lusi gets her own documentary by Mike Brady himself!

Dammit, Mike, theres no popcorn in the cupboard- could you just hold on while i nip down to the store?

The fact that she survived a head on with a rogue wave with what amounted to minor damage is near unbelievable! Those waves are enough that modern vessels still don't always come of as lightly

Always good when our friend Mike Brady shows up in the feed

Was waiting for this. Makes work days go by much smoother.

Hey look, it's our friend Mike Brady, from Oceanliner Designs!

This is a Great channel. This and Shipwreck Sunday are favorites.👍

Only one word suffices: Bravo!

Mike...I've wanted for so long to tell you how much I enjoy your videos and their quality. I don't know how you and your team are able to put together such high-quality content. Your narration makes the videos come alive and makes an old landlubber like me feel like I'm on the ship. Let me compliment you once again and thank you for all of the dedication, research and hard work you put into each one of these videos.

Michael this is an amazing video, thank you for writing and producing it. Animation is stunning. Sometimes we (I) forget the amount of hard work you all put in to bringing the best videos for the liner community and I may make stupid critiques frivolously -- ignore them, but they come from a place of ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thrilling! The best of your digital work thus far! And thanks for reintroducing the beauty of Lusitania: sleek, graceful, truly the "greyhound" of the Atlantic!

I have listened to a bunch of episodes and this one i believe is my favorite. I wish i could have been alive during this time to ride one of these beauties.

How can anyone NOT give this video a 'like'? Congratulations to all concerned. Outstanding. Absolutely outstanding. What would we all do without a friend like Mike Brady??

Stunning production. My sincere appreciation to you Mike and the team. Brilliant in every way

Another amazing video Mike, the animation just looks beautiful. I can't wait for part 2.

Quality production as always! I was always an Aviation Industry guy, but Oceanliner Designs movies keeps me interested in Maritime.

Yes! Any day Oceanliner Designs uploads is a good day.

Yet another multi-part high production value series from our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs

Mike and the team has really outdone themselves, I keep rewatching that beginning scene, I can’t wait for part 2 I love this

Thank you Mike for this amazing production.

It is unfortunate that I can only like a video once... Well done, informative and kept me tuned in from start to finish.

Hey, thats my friend, Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs! Thanks for another great video! I can't wait to watch it!

Absolutely amazing film ! So incredibly life like and beautiful !! The colours , sounds and even the music are perfection! Thank You , Mr.Brady for all the hard work and dedication you put into this project !! You are an amazing and talented artist. Spielberg and Cameron move over, there’s a new genius in town!! The Lusitania and Mauretania are without a doubt two of the GREATEST ocean liners ever created!!! Such elegance, beauty and powerful presence all wrapped up in one hull ! The likes the world will never see again ! Thank once again my friend !!🇦🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧 MikeW.

Mike this was truly breathtaking in its totality. You create the very best historically accurate yet fully dignified to the souls lost cinematography in my humble opinion. Thank you for being our friend Mike Brady and may you always be. A truly wonderful human being.

Bravo to you, our friend Mike Brady and crew! Absolutely magnificent!!

Perfect animation with detailed comments and music of that time makes feel the majesty and tragedy of the story. Thanks!

Hello my friend, Mike Brady. Thank you for such a first class video. I felt like I was on the Lusitania. It’s almost like time travel. I’m amazed and impressed once again.

Our friend Mike Brady back with another masterpiece

Mike, you have outdone yourself once again. Amazing documentary to a ship that changed the course of history.

These productions should be on television....they are that good!

Maury may have held that record for 20 years, but Lucy certainly made her work for it. It took the Maury two full years to wrench that record away from her sister, something I find greatly amusing.

This is Top Notch Documentary !!

Excellent. I was glued to the screen for the duration. Can’t wait for part 2.

I can't wait for hfx studios to finally give us the Lusitania experience. This magnificent video production made me wanna explore the ship even more. Great video Mike!

Wow, that storm scene that she had to go through, just unreal animation on Jack Gibson's part, just fascinating! I thought she was gone at that point right then and there. Anyway just a fantastic video once again from Mike and the whole team, well done!! Stay happy Mike and team!! Can't wait for part two!!

It's amazing how this is better content than anything on cable TV.

The sickening thud as that torpedo hit the Lusitania filled me with terror as if I myself was onboard about to fight for survival! You outdo yourself with every new video Mike love it!

What an incredible video, fascinating and beautifully poignant. Even by Mike Brady’s high standards, the production quality is exceptional. Really looking forward to part 2.

Merci beaucoup from France !
