Can a Ship Ever Be Unsinkable?

Video Description

As the Age of Sail gave way to the Age of Steam, ships were built to a larger, grander scale, with new and exciting technology that changed the course of history. As ocean liners like RMS Titanic took to the seas, the idea that these ships were purely unsinkable began to take hold. While Titanic would prove the idea wrong, the hope of the unsinkable ship did not die, and ship owners and builders would spend decades pursuing this impossible dream - one that shaped the face of shipbuilding to this very day. The animations of Titanic and Britannic were made by our friends and Titanic Honor and Glory, Vintage Digital Revival LLC and animated by the very talented Jack Gibson. Check them out at @TitanicHG 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.
