2:50 That was the Olympic before the Titanic's sinking; she didn't have her full lifeboat complement yet

Great vid!👍

Cool vid

Wonderful!

I love this video and I like your channel

great video thanks for all your work, I've subbed 😊. BTW, as a wee lad I traveled on both Queens and SS United States at very end of their service, so this vid hits me hard

Hey I really appreciate it! Also, that must've been quite the experience huh!

I your 7th viewr

4:15 Giuseppe Verdi, Italy's great opera composer (Aida, La Traviata, Nabucco and many others), died in January of that year. He was 87

There is something so majestic seeing a ship being launched down a slipway. Having attended several, they never tire being an awesome event. Even better is being along side the actual slipway and witnessing the hull sliding into the water. The current "launching" via flooding a drydock is nowhere as imposing.

They never tire or you never tire of seeing them?

10:30 I hear the Great Eastern had a double hull which enabled her to survive a collision with an uncharted rock needle off Montauk Point, Long Is. thanks to her double hull and strong transverse braces. The rock needle was later named Great Eastern Rock

5:54 Sir Edward Elgar who wrote the Pomp and Circumstance marches died in February that year

5:54 Until the Queen Mary's launch the Olympic had been the largest British-built vessel for 21yrs

11:06 That was the year Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto

2:53 That was the year of Halley's comet

2:59 Contrary to popular belief the Titanic received fairly little attention and publicity; the Olympic as her older sister got the bulk of that

12:48 Oh so there was a second Mauretania

The Mauritania looks weird when launched 😂😅😂😅

What is the music called at approximately 9:08 mins into this video please? We really want to know 🙏

Titanic DOES appear in the video. How could you miss it? Check at 4:43

1:43 "Rex" which means "king" in Latin

I am curious why some of these vessels were launched with their screws installed and some not? 🤔

0:08 "Imperator" means "emperor" in Latin

6:25 Good thing she was rechristened Britannic; the name Gigantic would've been too plain. for one thing, and they were already building bigger ships in Germany

@nboceanlinerhistory

Britannic was never christened in general. Also, there is no record that the White Star Line intended to name Britannic “Gigantic”

Its believed there is 5 different pieces of footage taken of Titanic. And of course, only 1 is known to exist today. I will probably be making a video talking about this lost footage sometime in the near future.
