Oceanliner Designs

Michael “Mike” Brady, better known online as Oceanliner Designs, is an Australian YouTuber. He is known for his videos that cover the history of famous ships such as the Titanic, Lusitania, Queen Mary, Johan Van Oldenbarnevelt (JVO), Olympic and Britannic. His videos focus on the technical aspects of ships and their careers.
==History==
Initially Mike did not set out to be a YouTuber, instead he founded the company which was initially known as Liner Designs & Illustrations in 2018 where he would sell his illustrations of liners such as Titanic, Lusitania and RMS Strathnaver. It was only when the Covid-19 Lockdowns were in full effect that Mike decided to create the channel of his hobby, creating the channel on November 17, 2020 and posting the first video the next day. Initially his illustrations featured heavily on his channel, as he would discuss the design of the Lusitania or the Olympic-class liners, though as the channel grew Mike began to use computer-generated animations of the ships he was discussing, initially in Unreal Engine before he took on animators in order to create fully animated films of the Empress of Ireland disaster or Titanic sinking.
One of his most requested videos was building the Queen Mary Part II, which was finally posted June 26, 2022, 10 months after building the Queen Mary Part I. He has also worked with Tom Lynskey’s HFX Productions on the “cancelled” game Lusitania: The Greyhounds Wake. (Game isn’t really cancelled just a joke in the community) 
==Trivia== 
*On 25th August 2023 Mike announced he had been working on a video game based on the channel, Oceanliner Designs' Grand Voyage, with the initial build featuring the RMS Empress of Ireland, TSMS Lakonia (previously known as the Johan van Oldenbarnevelt) and the British airship R101, which had all been the focus of videos on Mike's channel.
