YouTube Video Description↓
In the second world war there were many examples of courage and determination in the face of terrible odds. Two inspirational examples are those of HMS Rawalpindi and HMS Jervis Bay, two former ocean liners converted to escort friendly ships. Both stumbled upon some of the most powerful warships in the Atlantic but, although totally outclassed in weapons and armour, fought engagements to the death so their friends and comrades would survive. This video is dedicated to the memory of the maritime artist Anton Logvynenko who sacrificed his own life fighting for his homeland in Ukraine. 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! #HMSRawalpindi #HMSJervisBay #WWII #NavalHistory #Warships #WorldWar2 #RoyalNavy #BritishNavy #NavalBattles #HeroicSacrifice #TragicFate #Gallant #BritishWarships #WarStory #MaritimeHistory #NavyLives #WarHeroes #HistoricalEvents #MilitaryHistory #HistoricalTragedy #titanic #history #facts #ships
