How Ships Avoid Disaster At Sea

If there is one thing that seafaring history has taught us, it's that no matter how much you prepare for the worst; absolutely anything can go wrong. Whether it be mechanical failure, shallow waters, or a collision with a large iceberg - every vessel seems to be just one wrong decision away from destruction and disaster.

But with each mistake comes a lesson; something crucial to be learned to ensure such a mistake is never made again. With each of these learnings, each vessel gets that little bit safer. With enough of these learnings, we avoid disaster entirely. Join us as we go through just a few different ways that one avoids the absolute worst when navigating treacherous seas.

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!
