I had no idea that Albert Ballin came-up with the concept of cruising, which, in the long-term, effectively makes him the saviour of the ocean liner after jet air travel killed-off their previous role in the 1960's. Ballin is so poorly remembered now, but is clearly a visionary who was decades ahead of his time. He deserves to get more attention than he does.

Thank you very much for highlighting the moving history of these German super liners. The Imperator Class is often overlooked a bit, but cannot be forgotten for their important roles in the 20s. The Vaterland until this day is the biggest ship to ever wave the German flag, so she definitely was impressive. It's always a bit sad to see that the three ships never made it into commercial service as a German trio. 🚢

As a German ship fan, I am very pleased to see such a great and detailed video about these ships, because the German oceanliners of that time usually don't gain so much attention, even in the community.

Somehow through Mike's storytelling abilities in depicting these incredible Ocean Liners, symbols of absolute grandeur and splendor of their time. i can't help but feel a sense of Nostalgia for an Empire in its hayday, at the height of its power and prestige, of an era long gone. Almost wistfully unaware of the great tragedy to come. Germany was not a nation that needed to die...Germany was a Great Power, very much an equal of the British Empire and perhaps even can be considered one of the Greatest Nations on Earth, an Economic, Cultural and Scientific superpower of its time. They may have been our rival...But they did not need to be our enemy. I can't help but feel a sense of longing and regret for a nation of such great potential. especially when what came after was so much worse. ... and indeed how much worse things could get. Perhaps then Germany's story will be seen as one of the greatest tragedies of our time i think...A story of lost potential, A people whose culture and prestige went from one of its greatest moments of achievement...to one of the very lowest in the history of humanity in the span of little over 20 years. Perhaps its a lesson hard learned, of how very wrong things can go so quickly. when we let our guard down too much, when we become blissfully unaware of the dangers the world faces. Consign ourselves to the status quo and let our ignorance get the better of us. When history has taught us that you can never take anything for granted. If History has taught us anything, is that Peace and Prosperity is Hard fought, we must never take that for granted. I guess the lesson we can take is, Our way of life is not for granted, the peace and stability we enjoy today is not a given, it is hard fought and hard maintained. And we must never let ourselves be fooled into believing otherwise. It is humanity alone in charge of its own destiny, ultimately we get to choose the fate of our species, be it for better of for worse. Perhaps then we should cherish and preserve the good, however little there may be no matter the cost. I am reminded of the famous words by Carl Sagan: "In this Vast universe, there is no indication that help is coming from elsewhere, Therefore it is our responsibility to deal more kindly to one another and to cherish and protect the one home we ever had..." Perhaps had we learned to cherish the great fortune and peace we had...we may have been more careful with it. And maybe we may well have seen Germany rise to New heights as the pinnacle of western civilization.

Fascinating video! The Ballin Trio have interested me (along with later German ships such as Europa and Bremen) ever since i read William H Miller's book 'German Ocean Liners of the 20th Century' as a teen. German yards produced some fantastic vessels in the first half of the century, but many met tragic ends (see: MV Wilhelm Gustloff) and have been largely forgotten even by the enthusiast community.

I think the Vaterland/Leviathan might be the most interesting oceanliner story in my opinion. For all fascinating stories of failure, there aren't many stories of a ship being built in one country, seized by another, mothballed, massively refurbished, etc.

To be fair, it wasn't just Prohibition that stunted Leviathan's potential in the US. It was also due to the fact that USL simply had no suitable running mates for him. At a time when the world's biggest shipping lines were running trios of similarly sized, outfitted and performing ships on a regular schedule was tantamount to staying one step ahead of the game, this would not have done USL any favors. As another fellow user (a Reddittor) wisely commented a while back, everything was against Leviathan from the start.

Awesome video...loved the surprise cameo by SS Rex at the very end! Absolutely can't wait for Part 4! Couple bits of trivia about Leviathan: 1) She was the ship who brought Douglas MacArthur home from Europe. 2) One of her crew members during the war was a young fellow by the name of Humphrey Bogart.

Something that I think about a lot is that white star should have been given the Bismarck and Vaterland. While the United States line should have been given Columbus and Homeric. White star had lost titanic before the war and Britannic during the war. So they needed at least a third large ship to maintain their planned three ship service. While the United States line couldn’t offer a full service like that because they only had the leviathan. So it would have made more sense for white star to get the the two bigger ships and United States line to get the smaller ship. Especially since prohibition hit the USL hard and with a ship as big as the leviathan was nearly half empty. Having a smaller ship like Homeric would have not be as economically disastrous for USL.
