Their Final Moments: Titanic, Lusitania, Britannic & Empress of Ireland

This is the complete first season of the 'Final Plunge' series which explores the final moments of famous ships. We begin with Titanic in her death throes after striking the ice berg in April 1912 - then the Empress of Ireland as she is swallowed by the St Lawrence River - the Lusitania after she is torpedoed by a U-Boat in the First World War - and finally Britannic, Titanic's enormous sister, foundering after striking a mine. These are some of my favourite videos, they are interesting to write and they cover many stories we don't get to touch on in our bigger documentaries. Enjoy! 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!
