MARITIME PROFILES BY MICHAEL BRADY
Ships Illustrated, formerly Liner Designs & Illustrations, is a business established by maritime history researcher and illustrator Michael Brady - that’s me!
I started this business in 2018 as a way to remember and recognise some of history's most truly spectacular and brilliant ships, some which shaped the lives of countless thousands and even changed world history. The allure of the sea runs strong in my family; my father emigrated to Australia in 1959 aboard P&O's lovely liner 'Strathnaver'
Whether you're a former passenger, historian or collector, Ships Illustrated will bring to life a golden age of opulence. Please enjoy exploring my drawings - and as always, stay safe and stay happy!
Your friend,
Mike

Britannic was intended to round off the three Olympic-class ships and secure White Star Line’s dominance on the Atlantic run; but it was not to be. Designed as an improvement over her sisters Olympic and Titanic, her design and construction was heavily impacted by the loss of the latter in April 1912. Before completion she was famously requisitioned for use as a hospital ship by the British government at a time when thousands of young men were dying and being terribly wounded in battlefields across the ocean. She was lost after striking a mine in November 1916, prompting many to wonder what could have been had she survived.

The plucky RMS Carpathia, one of Cunard's utilitarian combination cargo-passenger steamers from the turn of the last century. She has fine, balanced lines and a four masts equipped with a suite of cargo derricks for the rapid loading and unloading of cargoes.
