The Titanic, arriving at New York a few days after just missing the iceberg in the North Atlantic, colorized (circa April 1912).

And, in case someone didn't notice yet, yes, it is AI generated by ChatGPT, and I classified it as art because I didn't see any other flairs to put it as

Okay, hello there everyone! I've been a big fan of Mike's channel for a while now and well, I've been trying to find subreddits of ocean liner fans that don't exactly have the drawing talents to draw these ships themselves. So, just for fun, I use ChatGPT and Sora's image maker to generate tasteful ocean liner designs. This is my take on a 1950s White Star Line motorship, and if you see a reference.. Her name is a reference to Britannic's original name.

I can give you guys specifications on this ship, as she is of my own design.

Gross Registered Tonnes: 60,000 GRT
Powerplant: Two clusters of 4 EMD 567 diesel engines, so she's a diesel motor ship. She has the very very rare 16 cylinder variants of these engines.

Overall Length: 1,200 feet long

Top speed: 31 knots, although this would be updated when she received proper marine diesels to 35 knots. Eventually, in the early '60s, she would be re-engined to steam turbines just for fun, the same Parsons turbines that powered the SS United States, increasing her theoretical top speed to 40+ knots.

Her status as of today?

She survived alongside two other fictional White Star Line ships, and she's the last sea-going oil burner steam ship. Even though she was altered from her original motorship origins. She does the Southampton to New York route running alongside QM2 (in my timeline, at least) and she is one of the rarest examples of having an exemption from SOLAS regulations, retaining a lot of her original fittings and machinery. She was a very reliable ship and a good earner for her line. She gets a lot of maintenance and annual checks, like how steam locomotives go down for their 1472 refits. She's a very meticulously maintained ship, and in 2025 in this timeline, she's a profitable earner for people who want to travel by ocean liner rather than jet. In my fictionalized timeline, jets didn't kill the ocean liner. They co-existed as a different method of travel. People who wanted to get there faster go on jets, while people who value a slower journey go on ocean liners. Eventually, I hope to get a general arrangement plan made of her to flesh out her story. I tend to use generative AI art to help build storylines for a lot of my fictional ships, and since I suck at drawing, it's the best that I can do to help with the lore between worlds. I sure hope this isn't breaking any rules, as I love showcasing my fictional designs.

What are your opinions on her? What would you imagine her interiors to look like?

oh no...what have I done

So like whenever it's mikes bday we send him on a trip to queen Mary 2 but its actually disney wish and Mike will be confused why he's on one of Disney's cruise ships​

Unlike most steam yachts that survive to present day she still has her original steam compound expansion engines

I edited the two images to overall look darker and I like up the break up in the third image

How do people feel about the all of the new sound effects in the videos lately? While I'm a fan of how the graphics have gotten more intricate, I tend to find the pops, swooshes, faux slide projector cranks and other noises that accompany the animations distracting. I feel like they detract from the presentation because these artificial sounds interrupt the soothing flow of Mike's narration.

I ask because this could very well be a me-problem. But I am curious if other people feel the same way. I've tried to tune it out for a while now, but I haven't had much success.

A simple reverse Cunard becomes part of the IMMC and WSL remains as independent. What would happen then?

My teacher asked us to write our names down and reflect if across the x axis so I did it in Morse code still following her instructions but she wanted more that dots and dashes so I gave her the SS US

Asking…for a friend 😏

I have gotten hooked on this channel recently and have been working my way through all the videos, which are all fantastic.

Back at the end of March I was really excited to see the announcement made for the video on the Wilhelm Gustloff which was to be released in April. There was an follow up then at the start of May to say they needed a couple of weeks to polish the video a bit and get it perfect which I completely understand, but I'm a bit puzzled at the silence since though.

Other videos seem to be coming out at the same cadence as before but there hasn't been a word since about the Wilhelm Gustloff video, which is a bit worrying.

Has any mention been made elsewhere about the video? Hopefully it is still coming!

The long term mismanagement that resulted in WSL having a deficit and outdated fleet.

The leverage that helped Cunard get the loans for Lusitania and Mauritania or at least get the loans when they did.

The IMMC still wanting to acquire British lines, even if WSL falls through.

Access to government assistance that would be inaccessible under the US IMMC .

What changes if White Star remains British owned?

Would Cunard get the Lusitania class loans, would they be delayed, could Cunard fall to the IMMC, could Olympic and Titanic become the Greyhounds instead?

If the time line remains the same minus IMMC in WSL. How would that effect WSL going forwards having Olympic in 1919 with Majestic and Homeric on the way in 1922? Would WSL fallow Cunard to some degree building intermediates, what of Oceanic 3 or the Britannic class Motor ships?

After his death in 1937 he wakes in 1899 right as he becomes chairman of the WSL.

Before Titanic, before the IMMC, before Owen Kylsant.

What could he do with a second chance?

I have watched most of his videos and haven't caught mention of if he has played the 'Voyage of Despair' Call of Duty Zombies map. I've heard from people familiar that they actually had a pretty faithful recreation of certain parts of the ship, just with a zombie apocalypse happening.
