Hi everyone! I’m on vacation in the US at the moment :) This is a live stream from a little while ago where we ran theough my pics for the top 10 ocean liners - or rather classes of ocean liner - of all time. I hope you enjoy this blast from the past :) Back to our regular scheduled programming shortly!

Watching Mike simply gush over his favorite ships for twenty minutes has got to be the best part of my day today. He's extremely professional but deep down it's the passion that makes this channel work and it's so openly on display in this one in a wonderful way.

Titanic: AAAAH! AN ICEBERG!
Britannic: AAAH! A MINE!
Olympic: U-Boat? *You messed with the wrong ship fool*

My Mom is 90 years old and has the onset of memory loss. She and my father loved to be onboard cruise ships and yes, they did a few transatlantic crossings. I was visiting her in the retirement place where she lives and was watching this video with her. As soon as you mentioned the Queen Mary, she sat up and said I remember that ship from when I was a child. Her face lit up and she continued to tell me about a transatlantic crossing she did with my father on a Holland America ship. Proof the Queen Mary impacted various generations!

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

Mike's enthusiasm makes me smile 🙂

While suits aren't my thing personally, I love the class Mike brings by wearing them. A nod to a bygone era that I appreciate.

This year I genuinely can’t stop thinking about ocean liners this year, titanic specifically but it’s all fascinating

I'm actually going to go see the Queen Mary this Saturday. My mother is taking me to Long Beach for my birthday, and it will be awesome to see her after her major restorations.

I actually managed to convince my parents during a family vacation to visit the queen mary, and it was wonderful. One of the most fantastic vacations I've had, ever. We walked through the whole ship, took the history tour, had coffee and a pastry at one of the cafes, saw a dance at one of the lobbies. And we were only there for a couple of hours! Definitely one of my best memories of that trip

[adamradford]

Mike's great. So enthusiastic. And like me loves the Mary, Elizabeth and Normandie. Three of the greatest liners to ever cross the Atlantic.

**Love** the tunes in the background… civility and class and so appropriate for the topic. One of the best channels out there… thanks to you, friend of ours Mike Brady. So appreciate you and your excellent team.

Honestly the Normandie interiors looks so inviting

Nice to see the Aquitania getting remembered. Largest ship to serve in both World Wars.

[theminingassassin]

I would love to see ocean liners make a comeback.

[Tj_Smeejay]

I would LOVE a big, in-depth, super-detailed video about Aquitania.

Also, WOO WOO WOO QUEEN MARY! My all-time favourite liner!

[skyden]

Yeah, when Mike got to number 1 and showed, at first, the "Johan van Oldenbarnavelt" I thought I was going to have to rewind to see when I missed the Queen Mary/Queen Elizabeth because I knew they had had to have been on the list. Nice switch up, my friend Mike Brady.

[RMS__Lusitania]

hey mike! loved this video sm but i just wanted to say that when SS United States got mentioned, i remembered that there’s currently a race against time with her and that she’s getting evicted from her pier on September 12th unless the SS United States Conservancy gets the needed funds. they currently are at 100k donations and i thought that if you made a video talking about the current situation with SS United States, that the conservancy could possibly reach its goal and have her moved to a new home port purely by your reach alone. I think it’d be a great way to bring more awareness to her current state and situation because little to no media outlets are talking about this.

[cadenlamb]

These videos never get old, I absolutely love oceanliners. It never ceases to amaze me they moved these with steam! I live in Ohio and COSI in Columbus is doing a Titanic exhibition until September. I highly recommend a trip there if you aren’t too far away!

Yes, I saw Queen Mary 2 sauntering through the Solent on her way out of Southampton a few weeks ago - she's instantly recognisable, and unmistakeably elegant.
