Three Design Failures That Proved Deadly

Good design can change the world - but so too can bad design. No more apparent is the importance of solid engineering than at sea where the ocean, in all its infinite might, is trying around the clock to destroy the ships that float on its surface with endlessly creative means. We’ve explored a lot of wrecks on this channel - but these three are some of the most interesting because of their engineering implications. From the roll-on-roll-off ferries that sank because of their failed doors, to the cargo ships that broke in half - and finally to the steam-powered submarines that sent their crews to a watery grave. Here are three design failures that proved to be deadly. 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!
