Mighty Ships is a documentary television program produced by Exploration Production Inc. in Canada and aired on Discovery Channel Canada and also broadcast around the world. [2] Each episode of the series follows a particular sea-going vessel and provides an insight into the ship and its crew.
The first episode of the tenth season, [3] featuring the Faroes' largest ferry ship, MS Norröna, was first broadcast in Canada on 3 December 2017. [4] The second episode, first aired on 10 December 2017, featured MSC Oscar, the largest container ship in the world. [5]
Mighty Cruise Ships is a spin-off series focusing on cruise ships which began to air in late 2014.
A typical episode follows the crew of a particular vessel as it prepares to embark upon a voyage and concludes at the end of the journey or once a particular job has been completed. The operational capabilities and technical aspects of the ship feature heavily in the series, whilst members of the ship's crew provide an insight into life at sea and provide a human perspective. The series also makes use of computer-generated animation to show scenes which would otherwise be unobtainable, such as underwater operations. [6]
The series was started after the success of a one-off special on the Discovery Channel entitled Inside Queen Mary 2 . [2] The series has featured an extensive range of different types of marine vessels, with cruise ships, an aircraft carrier, fishing boats, dredgers and various types of cargo ships, naval and specialist ships being shown.
In a first for the series, season 7 includes a double-length episode about the maiden voyage of cruise ship Norwegian Breakaway and its construction and sea trials. Season 7 also includes a compilation episode showing vessels from the first six seasons.
The show's mixture of technical insight and human stories has proved popular with audiences. [7]
Mighty Planes is a spin-off series in the same format but featuring aircraft rather than ships. [7] Other later series in the franchise have included Mighty Trains and The Mightiest .
