History's Greatest Ships: The Evolution of Ocean Liners | Documentary Part 2

Ойын-сауық

Lusitania, Titanic, France, Aquitania.... their names have entered legend. In 1897 the German merchant marine changed everything when North German Lloyd introduced the four-stacker ocean liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. or the next fifteen years the world's great shipping companies vied with one another to introduce bigger and better ships and this maritime 'arms race' resulted in the creation of some of history's greatest ships including RMS Olympic, SS France, RMS Titanic, HMHS Britannic, RMS Lusitania, RMS Mauretania, RMS Aquitania and more. Today we'll explore the history of the four-funnelled ocean liners - where they came from and how their service and careers weren't all smooth sailing...

    This is so true. I remember learning about it for the first time in 7th grade, 1997, and I felt bad for the ship and I wanted to know more about it. That lead me into WW2 battleships, which are my favorite warships, besides submarines. I wish that WW2 style battleships still sailed. I would love to see, hear and feel a battleships guns fire, I bet it would be amazing in person.

    Some people say the gantry davits make Britannic a bit cluttered looking, but to me, it shows she's prepared and capable to take priority in an emergency. Following the loss of their sister, she and Olympic were made stronger and truly unsinkable. Well, that's how it should've been for Britannic, but WW1 thought otherwise. Britannic did fight to the end, though, and thanks to her extra lifeboats, almost all on board her got off unharmed. The Olympic class were meant to be Britain's last word in size and luxury, but ultimate tragedy and blood ridden conflicts took two of them away, with one left alive. Alone. Olympic should NEVER have been scrapped. Think of how popular she would be as a floating hotel today.

    I'm thinking we will indeed see more installments. The three-stackersvwere something of a brief interlude between the four and two-stackers, but some of the greatest and most iconic ships had three funnels...Normandie; Queen Mary; the "Imperator Class" in both original German form and later American and British guise; Empress of Britain; Île de France... Of course, the "deux- cheminée" liners were many and there were no shortage of great ships among them.

    It really hurts seeing Britannic as the ocean liner she was intended to be. It's one of the great things about Honor and Glory's "Britannic: Patroness of the Mediterranean" mini-game's features that allows you to explore her interiors as well as exteriors as an ocean liner instead as a hospital ship and see many of the things that might've been. And while most of it is pretty straight-forward or was already there on her sisters, there's a number of unique differences that make her stand out, such as the deck housing added to the stern to expand the 3rd class smoking room, the children's nursery, and the addition of the German-made pipe organ on the A-deck landing of the forward grand staircase, as well as bathrooms for nearly every cabin. Had she not been sunk in WW1, she would've been a force to be reckoned with on the trans-Atlantic run.

    For me 4 funnel ships are the pinnacle of ocean liners in general. They're the pinnacle oand transition of 19th century to 20th century technology but also they are the most beautiful ships ever. Oh sure other ships afterwards were gorgeous as well but I don't think they can ever truly stand up to the beautiful artwork both inside and outside of 4 funnel ships. I'm loving this series so far and can't wait to watch part 3 talk about the war time service and the after effects of said war. Though your channel and many others have talked about it quite a bit but is still wonderful to hear about them and watch these CGI recreations of a bygone era Thank you as always Mike Brady keep up the great work made your videos truly make my day.

    I'm actually building a custom-made model of a fictional Cunard four-stacked named the RMS Cappadocia. It's basically a carbon-copy of the Lusitania and/or the Mauritania but a bit bigger and more luxurious than its sisters. (1st-class being odored with opulent Ottoman architecture). I'm basically kitbashing from various model kits and custom making parts out of styrene for the desired result. I had a friend 3D print some 1/400 Cunard funnels for me and the ship's hull is from a 1/400 Titanic kit. Parts of the superstructure are being made by hand and borrowed from a 1/350 Titanic kit, also.

    I don't remember where I heard it, but after world war II, RMS Aquitania was sailing near Italy, and from the mainland, the marines radio'd the ship saying "Unknown Four-Stacker, identify yourself." to which the captain cheekily said "We're the only four-stacker left in the world." and just thinking about that exchange makes me laugh to this day. Excellent video, a great time capsule explaining the golden age of the ocean liner. Also I must say that French pronunciation was very good. Looking forward to the next video!

    Lovely moving footage of some of the great (but often overlooked) early ocean greyhounds starting at 3:32. Looks like one of the HAPAG there-stackers from the early 1890s backing out of the New York pier. Although those were fairly modest ships size-wise, this one looks a half mile long! They were so low and sleek and elegant. The footage of the bow of the Lucania right after is equally impressive! It's a shame that not more motion picture footage from that era has survived, there was likely a whole lot in its day but the material just didn't last. In many ways, those liners from just before the turn of the last century hold a very special fascination for me...

She was an innovator in the rear, thin stack profile, and had her class seperation done with removable walls, which meant she could serve all the way until 2000 as a cruise ship. She is preserved as a hotel to this day!

Speaking of safety, the most dangerous way to travel is by motor vehicle and the safest is by passenger plane figuring deaths per passenger mile, not much information on early 20th century ocean liners but today cruise ships have a good record of deaths per passenger mile.

    3:00 My grandmother, aged 9, with her family arrived in New York on July 12, 1910. They passed through Ellis Island easily, and were all found to be of sound minds, healthy, and respectable. And indeed, about 10 years later, my great-grandfather was one of the most respected producers of bootleg beverages in Cleveland. Having come from near what is now Timisoara, Romania, he could speak German, Yiddish, Hungarian, Romanian, and Romani, but he couldn't master that darn English, so, he had to turn to a trade where the language was universal and much in demand.

A couple people asked if maybe others could refer to them using the pronouns that correspond with how they feel and wish to be viewed by others and you guys have been bitching and moaning about it ever since. Maybe what you could do instead is reflect on the fact a very small group of people asking that you use “they/them” feels like it’s one of the worst things to ever happen to you (at least, based on the impression you all give off) , it may be an indication that you’re life has been pretty good and that refusing to do a simple thing that would make someone else feel better about themselves might just mean you’re a bad person.

    Top-notch work, M. Brady, well done. I almost gasped when I saw my favourite 4-stacker, SS France- she looked gorgeous. She's a bit different from the others; with her low funnels and streamlined superstructure, she looks more modern somehow. Fast little thing, too, 3rd fastest overall after the Cunarders. Speaking of fast little things (relatively speaking), I still dream of an Awatea video someday. A ship of exquisite beauty, and one which the world was robbed of all too quickly, though her end was rather heroic. She will make a good story, if not a particularly long one. All in good time, of course. I seem to have a thing for ships that were sadly short-lived: Normandie, Awatea, Conte di Savoia (now there's a pretty one)...all shone brightly, but too briefly. You really are doing a tremendous service, and I think it's beautiful that you're working with the Honor and Glory folks, who do amazing work. The Great Liners can be known and loved by more people than ever now.

    I have always found it interesting that any discussion of four-stacker lines always ignores the White Castle Line, with the only two non-Atlantic crossing vessels. This report almost got there at 10:00 when showing a White Castle liner. This is especially puzzling since the last surviving line that started as a four-stacker was the Arundel Castle.

    TWO Money shots? This thing's deluxe! Aw, man, what a great video! I'm speechless! I had to pause it multiple times when Britannic was on screen, just to marvel at how good she looked. I wish she had sailed. I do have to say, however, that I'm just the smallest bit disappointed; you almost mentioned every four-stacker in this video, you were only short Windsor and Arundel Castle! Perhaps we'll see them in the next video, and you'll say something like "Even the four-stacker, which had previously been the height of luxury, was reduced to the less prestigious colonial routes". But I am extremely glad that Aquitania finally gets some real recognition. And I knew nothing about the France, so it's great to hear about her! She looks lovely, too, I'll have to read on her! Really, the whole video just looks amazing, I'm so proud and so happy for you! Great job, Mike!! I'm so ready for the next episode!
