Hello friends! I am away with some members of the team exploring historic Bristol and Liverpool. This week we present another blast from the past, an exploration of the brilliant scans of Titanic's wreck. The video was published last year but shortly taken down by a false copyright strike. After having been hosted on my personal channel for a few months I am happy to bring it here back to the main channel. :) We will be back to our regularly scheduled programming next weekend with the second part of the Pearl Harbour series! ~Mike

*Mike Brady* = My friend from Oceanliner Designs *People who copyright strike Oceanliner Designs* = Not my friend

I just wish Magellan would make the scans available for us to freely explore ourselves

I really, really wish we could've had something like this back in 1985 when the wreck was first discovered.

It just blew me away that you can see the 401 stamped on the propeller. Just amazing

If I can't have Mike Brady as my only friend, nobody can.

I am 55. When I was little we had a big book, maybe a Reader's Digest type book of all sorts of fascinating stuff. Like Pompeii, the Great Wall of China etc. the most fascinating to me was always the information on the Titanic. There was a pencil sketch of what they thought it would look like. An estimate of what the gash looked like. I was enthralled, like from age 7 or 8. When Dr. Ballard and his team found her I was absolutely gobsmacked!! Every single time I see a show or video about her, I watch it. I just cannot get enough. I thank you for every vid you upload of her Mike. They are most appreciated

Mr Mike Brady you are becoming if not already the voice of the Titanic. You are a natural born narrator. This and all your other presentations rank right up there with the best staterooms on the Titanic, first class. Your documentaries are fantastic.

Honestly it's incredible that the ship is still as well preserved as it is, given that it has spent 112 years at the bottom of the ocean.

I've been interested in Titanic since I was a boy (I'm 66 now) because my Mum's Great Uncle was Sir Arthur Henry Rostron , Captain of the Carpathia. Thank you, Mike, for everything you do. Your explanations are 1st Class... Cheers... Trev

Very interesting, I live at the East end of Belfast Lough and can see ships passing my apartment many times a day. My apartment was built in 1880. So I often have a Coffee in the morning looking out my Kitchen window on the 4th floor imagining what it must of been like to see the Titanic leave H&W for the last time!

Even after all these years, shes still just as ghostly and haunting.

Its awesome that they were able to scan , Titanic in such detail Mike . Titanic and Mike Brady never fail to deliver.

As thrilled and excited as I was about Magellan's 3D scans and thankful that someone had finally done it, they also made me feel pretty depressed. I already knew what every single visible section of the ship looked like, but finally seeing it all at once just hits you differently. Needless to say, it was bittersweet.

I usually don't agree with removing items from what is, essentially, a massive graveyard; not only out of respect for the dead, but also because I don't want any more damage to come to the wreck site of Titanic. I do, however, wish they could find a way to bring one of those gargantuan propellers back to the surface. That would truly be a sight to behold.

Seeing mountains of steel crumpled like wet paper will never fail to astonish me. Glad to see this video again Mike!

Im a simple man. My friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs uploads, I click

7:37 The water tank is in such a good state, I am willing to bet it still contains water to this day :o)

I hadn't realised that the stern wreck had collapsed on itself. I knew it was inevitable given the state it sank in but it was a shock seeing it having done so.

Titanic may be gone from the surface world and she may be gone from the deep depths sooner or later, but she will never be gone from my heart or the hearts of any Titanic and ship enthusiasts. I’ll never let go Titanic, I’ll never let go!

Absolutely the BEST details of the wreck site that I’ve ever seen. Pointing out and describing the function and condition of remaining individual items made sense to someone who would have never recognized any of these items. Thanks a million!

Mike, when I tell you I have had the most stressful day and this is the most perfect video. Thank you so so much. Also, I hope you enjoyed your visit at the SS Great Britain. I hope to visit her one day :))) Love the channel, AJ :)

Mike seemed to be getting choked up a couple of times during this piece. Titanic is a lore I grew up with but Mike seems really shaken as he goes through the devastation. He's certainly passionate about this topic. Love this channel because of it!

It breaks my heart to see her deteriorating as the years go by. Especially the stern section . It's only a matter of time before the ship is gone forever. 😢

3D photogrammetry is such an amazing tool. As an archaeologist and underwater archaeologist student I recently learned how to create these images. More of this needs to be done with our cultural history above and below the sea. So good for site monitoring and preservation.

I would just like to make it clear that Mike Brady From Oceanliner Designs is not my only friend.

Timeless in a way, she's just as fascinating today as she was 112 years ago. Even though time will eventually take her, thank you, and others like you who continue to keep this tragic beauty's memory alive.

For those unsure of how and why the stern is how it is (the physics of the sinking itself are fascinating to visualise): So you have the ship, it's sinking bow-forward. The internals are collapsing and the bow half is full of water it's accumulated over the past 2.5 hours, but with the closed-off portions by the watertight bulkheads, the stern half hasn't taken on *as* much as the fore. The structure can't handle the weight anymore and thus you have the split. The split wasn't clean however and as the waterlogged bow drops and tries to sink, it's buoyed by the still mostly-un-flooded aft half. So the immensely heavy bow swings backward under the water by the portion of the hull plating it still hangs on by. That's why the aft half sinks a bit, then bobs back up like it could still float -- if the fore had separated cleanly, there's a chance the stern still mostly full of air may have remained afloat for a while longer. But the flooding was sped up by it being forced underwater. The force pull also would have left some rooms with air pockets, so as the stern tilts forward from the quickly-flooding break area, more un-flooded rooms are pulled under with it. The bow would have plunged straight downward like a knife. That's why the bow with its shape meant to cut through the waves dug so deeply into the seabed (the rapid descent being when things like the cargo hatch cover and staircase skylight were ripped away). The pressure of suddenly being at that depth then snapped the spine which is where you see that seam opening around the officers' quarters, the remainder of the aft portion kind of sagging down onto the floor behind her nose, but not so violently since it was already filled with water. That's how shelves and such remained intact; I'd gather that superstructure sag actually happened entirely or mostly when she hit the sea-bottom. The stern however, began to implode as it sank. The momentum from this made her aft half go into an almost death spiral; you have the stern itself sinking in a wide arcing spiral but corkscrew-spinning at the same time, the motion triggered from the kinetic energy of the imploding air pockets. So the stern not only flung out hull plating and whatnot as it death-spiraled down, but when it hit the floor it was propelled in such a way that it *slammed* into the seabed on its belly. The shockwave from this is what would have pounded down atop the superstructure leading to that pancaking effect; the physics of shockwaves underwater are really complex and interesting, but there would have been the wave from the impact across the seabed, but *also* a kind of shaft or column of current that would've slammed down onto the stern. All of those layers of hull plating and deck structure on the sides would have been thrust outward from the force. Go find a cardboard box or something and stamp on it, if you do it from the correct angle you'll see the same sort of squishing-out effect. As far as I know that's the most accurate estimation of exactly how her two split halves sunk and why either side looks the way it does. We are all victims of physics including our giant floating city blocks

Titanic is a haunting ghostly but beautiful ship and has been fascinating to me since reading a kids version of a night to remember when I was 8

"its your friend, mike brady" is the reassurance internalised geriatrics like me need

Dude, I have been searching for this video to show my husband and I couldn't find it!!! I did end up watching a bunch of your videos looking for it. Thank you, thank you for what you do!! You are a Masterclass!!! Look forward to hopefully many, many more videos!!!

I have been interested in the Titanic since I first head about the story. I go to the isle of wight a few times a year, and go pass the restored tug that once helped Titanic dock. Your videos are extremely well put together and very enjoyable. Keep up the hard works.

The poop deck being rolled up like that must've happened when the stern section was sinking. It's the rearmost part of the ship so as the stern section sunk any air that still remained inside would've been pushed towards that area, until the pressure grew to the point it caused the whole steel roof to be ripped off its supports and flipped over. The forces involved must have been massive.

It’s incredible that these scans even got the numbers stamped on the propellers. Wow.

Man, I really appreciate you putting up the comparison photos to make it easier to see everything you’re describing. Super rad video

Would have loved to have this technology in 1985. It’s crazy how much it has decayed since the but it’s still awesome to see all these shots. Amazing video man

The scans look Wonderfull it’s amazing how technology today can do this and explore the titanic

Mike, I could listen to you talk about Titanic all day…and night 😊

These 3D scans, and your overview on the scans are AMAZING. 🔥❤️

i should have mentioned this along time ago , i have to say i might just love your channel as much as you show passion for it . learned alot about titanic i always wanted to know . plus ships in general . when people like you put their "soul" into their work they dont have to try and and it shows . you and your channel are exactly that .

It's hard to see the devastation here, weirdly emotional. I remember Ken Marschall's paintings from Dr Ballard's expeditions when I was a kid, it was incredible and inspiring. While it's fascinating to see this, it's also sad. It feels like watching a loved one rot away. Another awesome piece Mike!

I wish they had scanned the engines. Another fantastic piece, Mike. Thank you for what you do.

Every sunday night on my overnight shift, Mike is truly my friend, telling me great stories about ships, and sinkings. I have this horrible task I have to do, and his stories are really wonderful, my dad used to have me put together ship models as a child, (odd as I am a woman). I always remember seeing the USS Constitution and tug boats pushing ships out of port in Portsmouth NH. So I really love his stories, and I do see him as my friend. He makes a horrible mind numbing task whiz by. Thanks Mike!!!

After watching you for years, I still can't get enough of Titanic. But watching countless videos, Thank you for all your insights & knowledge!! 😊

Yesssss! Im in love with your articulation and how you are just so full of knowledge

Holy Superman 🤓 Our Friend Mike Brady sporting a Clark Kent persona in this 'fill in ' video🤫🤓

Thanks Mike, absolutely fascinating. I love the period music just lightly playing in the background too. Excellent vid.

Hello Mr. Brady, great to see you and another fascinating video, thank you, time to relax now and escape into the past of the Titanic.

I dont get why there isn't much attention on the Britannic wreck its still in amazing condition and is much easier to get to than the Titanic.

The devastation of the stern section is quite telling…..at least to me. The fact that so much of the starboard-side shell plating/hull is ripped away tells me that total separation occurred much deeper than previously thought…and that there was perhaps some rolling action in play.

This without doubt one of the best channels available anywhere ever. Thanks.

I'm glad you could show this to us seeing a 3d image of Titanic's wreck is beyond incredible!!!

Shame the technology wasn't there to do this back in '85 when Ballard found her. So much has been lost. Imagine if it could've been done in say, the 1930s. About all we could want to see (and never will..)is the starboard side of the bow excavated to see if there's any evidence of the wound. Your neck-wear: highly approved btw!

Hey, it’s my friend… Mike Brady!

I saw that original video, I really liked it. Im sorry it was taken down. Im gonna watch it again now. Youre doing great Mike. thanks for the great intelligent content.

Great Video Mike.. Always look forward to your new posts.. Thank you

Any area subjected to stress will have had the paint and other coatings either cracked, or torn, to expose bare metal. and this will corrode fast, not only because it is exposed but also because the stress of deforming it has changed the material structure. Thus this will corrode faster as well, as it forms an anode compared to the rest of the bare metal, and thus corrodes. The water tank is still in good condition because, like almost all water tanks then, it was made from copper, and probably still has the enamelling inside intact, and the outside paint is still intact mostly. Last things to disappear, aside from ceramic parts, will be the wiring, with copper protected by tar paper, and also a lead sheath as well.

awesome to have such a knowledgeable person to tell me wtf im looking at because besides the bow its scrap metal to me lol

I honestly love your absolutely genuine enthusiasm and excitement over these scans. It's very lovely to see.

Well done, showing the 3D scan and comparing it to the model. This gives great insight into the 3D scan. Now I understand what we are seeing Thank you!

I have wanted a closer look at these scans for a while. I can’t seem to find anything online.

More Titanic stuff! My favourite!

Congratulations! Your officially my bedtime video. You have such a soothing voice and the history is just amazing. Thank you x

This is really amazing. Love seeing the scan, then the photo of what it used to look like. Outstanding work.👍💜

A lot of that damage around the Grand Staircase has been from teams landing submersibles on that roof to send robots in. What’s remarkable about these scans, is the complete non-visualization of the massive engines that were visible when the wreck was found. Incredible destruction. That any of the stern held together is a testament to her workmen.

Would love to be able to 3D print these scans to have the Titanic accurately on my desktop.

Thanks for analysing the 3D scans Mike! You really pay attention to detail here.

you are doing a great job! I absorb the information from each of your videos like a sponge. keep it up, all the best!

What is incredible is bacteria not only lives down there but can eat iron and steel.

Sometimes I feel like the titanic, I was once beautiful and now I’ve been broken in half and deteriorating slowly in the dark depths.

They need to release these scans to the public! Imagine just moving around and seeing all the details in crisp detail!

Wow! This is the most in-depth examination of the stern section. I always see the front where it's ionic, but never saw the stern much except in concept art. Thanks Mike for the in-depth talk about that forgotten section.

18:57 I guess you could say the poop deck has gone to sh*t

The reason the stern is in such bad condition is because it’s the Olympic. It was already heavily damaged, especially the stern, after a collision with a war ship. It would have had to be cut in half to align the keel again, but that would have cost too much so they swapped the ships and sunk the olympic. Why else do you think the “olympic” was able to continue until being scrapped in the 1930’s. Because it was the newer titanic

greetings from charleston, SC! i’m on vacation exploring the history of this town! needed a break and came across this video. cheers Mike!

Mike, I so much appreciate you walking us through the wreckage in the manner you do - carefully showing the ‘wreckage scan’ and then the same corresponding point on the ‘artist rendering.’ Thank you!

What an incredible video!!! Thank you so much for posting this! ❤❤❤

This is my favorite video you’ve ever done! I need more!! I would watch a long in-depth video on every aspect of this model.

Wonderful video, Mike. Thanks for presenting it to us.

Very interesting stuff Mike. Thanks for posting this.

Excellent visuals and Mike, your narration and explanations are absolutely brilliant! Thank you!

Mike, it can be said that if it exists on the Titanic, you probably have a video for it, and if by chance you don't, you will soon have one. Honestly at this point if I want to know something about the Titanic or other ocean liners, I just go to your channel.

Phenomenal beyond words. I can’t say enough; this is so like being there with it at the bottom of the ocean that it’s overwhelming. Thank you for this.

Thanks for overlaying pictures of the ship on top, it really helps visualise the parts of the wreckage

Thanks for the technical analysis of Titanic decay . Must say that the 3d is stunning 👍

Mike, you are a fantastic narrator and your videos are always so-well written and produced. I really enjoy watching them.

Thank you so very much for this incredibly interesting video. I was stricken with "titanimania" fairly early in life (I was ten years old or thereabouts) and so I've spent the last 55+ years reading just about anything I could find pertaining to the fascinating ship and her tragic demise. Your videos (about the great ship) have been especially helpful in feeding my seemingly insatiable hunger for accurate information regarding true causes of her foundering (and her subsequent decay and disintegration on the sea floor). Your excellent language skills combined with your very engaging presentation style serve you well. Your videos are (at once) informative and entertaining.

Love your info! I subscribed to this video 😊

Fantastic tour - thank you Mike. Trying to imagine the force of all that weight suddenly meeting the ocean floor as her fall came to an abrupt end is nearly impossible.

First the information is fantastic. Second Mike and his suits are a class act. Thank you Mike for preserving history.

Always been fascinated with the titanic since I was little. This channel brings me back to those times, thank you!

I only recently heard about the scans of the Titanic, in a video about the remains of the Titan submersible disaster and i eas wondering if those scans would be made available for the general public to see or only approved researchers. What you showed in just this limited video is amazing to see. I appreciate the guided tour from the safety and comfort of my home. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!

Great video! Thank you so much for all the great information on the Titanic..

Excellent episode and a phenomenal channel ... thank you sir!

These scans are so, so important so knowledge & preservation it still gets me a little when I see it

Was about to say, this looks very familiar. Glad it's back on YT!

Loved this video. Thank you for such a detailed explanation. ❤❤❤

Excellent video, thank you. Extremely engaging and informative.

I love yourvideos in Titanic! This might sound odd, because I'm not talking about the Uber tragic loss of life, but you somehow bring a sense of humanity to your analysis, in much the same way a medical examiner would describe a horrific death. At times, I think I even detect some nervous laughter as you discuss some of the more catastrophic elements. Your passion for these great old wrecks is truly infectious. I thank you for sharing. ❤

If there was ever another documentary on the Titanic, I hope that Mr. Mike Brady serves as a narrator for it He sounds like a true narrator
