In May 1941 the pride of the Royal Navy engaged Germany's newest and most powerful warship, the mighty Bismarck. The ensuing Battle of the Denmark Strait has become the stuff of legends after Hood violently exploded. In the years since, the reason for this dramatic end has been obscured by myth and confusion. Today let's look at the theories behind the Hood's destruction and what it most likely was that brought down the mighty battle cruiser.

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!
