Ridiculous Ship Makeovers That Shouldn't Have Worked (But Did)

We've explored a lot of ship makeovers on this channel but none perhaps so ridiculous as these lot! There emerged a bit of an unexpected theme to this one - ships that were cut in half and stitched back together and ships that shouldn't have been aircraft carriers but became them anyway! We'll take a look at the unique paddlewheel aircraft carrier USS Wolverine, formerly the SS Seeandbee, the White Star Line's franken-ship SS Suevic, battlecruisers-turned-carriers HMS Glorious & HMS Courageous and the ridiculous Royal Navy abomination HMS Zubian. 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! 0:00 Intro 0:43 USS Wolverine / SS Seeandbee 5:39 SS Suevic 10:14 HMS Courageous
