In 1962, the NS Savannah made history as the world’s first and only nuclear-powered passenger ship. A bold experiment from the dawn of the Atomic Age, she was built to showcase the peaceful use of nuclear energy at sea, a vessel that could travel the world without ever refuelling. But despite her promise, high costs, crew disputes, Cold War fears, and safety concerns meant no other nuclear passenger ship was ever built again. Join Mike Brady as we explore the rise and fall of the atomic age of passenger travel, the remarkable engineering behind NS Savannah, and why nuclear-powered ships ultimately failed to change the seas forever. --- 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.
