The Ship They Stitched Back Together

SS Suevic was one of the darling’s of White Star Line’s colonial service - a practical but handsome cargo-passenger ship that carried people and things to the most farflung corners of Britain’s empire; but she’s not remembered for that. In 1907 the Ship was grounded in a dramatic accident that required a full evacuation - what happened next would go down in history as one of the strangest salvage attempts, involving daring rescue efforts, dynamiting half of the ship, and the joining together of old and new steel. Oceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest vessels– from Titanic to Queen Mary and from the Empress of Ireland to the Lusitania. Join maritime researcher and illustrator Michael Brady as he tells the stories behind some of history's most famous ocean liners and machines!
