Cool video too bad the ship named after my state suffered a tragic fate. Thankfully most of the passengers survived bummer about the other ship tóo😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I was born in Portland and even though I’ve lived in Washington for most of my life, Oregon, and especially Portland, holds a special place in my heart.
It’s interesting that a recent well 1960’s former SS Oregon is being scrapped in Texas. Thousands of Long Islanders have done Summer Sea Term on the former Empire State VI. So saying this the former SS Oregon sailed yearly near the wreck of the former SS Oregon while on Summer Sea Term for SUNY Maritime College.
@@shipwrecksunday yep. The Empire State VI was a combination Training/Troop Ship and operation museum. All her 1960’s passenger accommodations were preserved from cabins to lounge and dining room. Original States Lines(her first owner) etched glass in the passenger stair tower. She was the last of three companies vessel in operation States Lines, Moore McCormick, and United States Lines. Nothing was really saved.
Thank you for yet another great video. This one was especially interesting to me as I didn't know the Oregon's story before. And thanks for including metric measurements as I'm totally clueless when it comes to imperial units.
just a suggestion, when u say how much horsepower u could also mention how many knots the ship can go. but i cant wait to see this channel grow like it should
I wasn't able to find that information on SS Oregon, otherwise I would have! I wish I could have found that out since I typically also like to know that. Thank you so much for your support!! Cheers!!
Hey Elinor, fantastic work here! I am curious as to your sources on the Oregon's Steerage accommodations. I'm also a historian on transatlantic travel of this era and from what I've seen, all companies gradually transitioned from Steerage to Third Class at different rates, primarily between 1890 and 1910. With White Star and Cunard for example, they began providing private cabins for married couples and families with children starting with Teutonic and Majestic in 1889/90 and Campania and Lucania in 1893, with the rest still berthed in either open berths or dormitory style cabins. As far as the Oregon is concerned I've only seen one partial set of deck plans which indicated Steerage accommodations still consisted of open berths. It would really be fascinating if the accommodations were updated at some point indicating a break in the established pattern of improvement
Hi there! I have one I have already made in the past, and I'll leave a link for you! I hope you enjoy it! Cheers, friend! ua-cam.com/video/DvO7kQ3kwfA/v-deo.html
Where else can I get 125’ equals 37… meters. Shipwreck Sunday please do the SS Pacific off of Washington. Very similar to the Oregon collision except 400 died. Thx
Aw, man! I'm so sorry! Your ships are really well done. I'm planning on doing another reading your comments video soon and we'll have to check out another one of your ships!

Oregon is an awesome state and it sucks that her namesake ship went down the way she did! Damn collisions always bother me.

Wow! That's pretty ironic and really cool. Thanks for sharing that, that's awesome!!

Excellent episode Elinor, Classic designed Ship of the old days ,with a sad ending.
Thanks so much, sir! I appreciate it!
Lovely as always, thank you again.
Thanks so much, I appreciate you!
great video and lots of informative stats. well done
Thanks so much! Cheers!!
Its such a shame that Oregon's career was cut short
I agree! She had so much potential. She honestly reminds me a lot of RMS Teutonic, just from a slightly earlier time.
Thank you for yet another great video. This one was especially interesting to me as I didn't know the Oregon's story before.

No problem! I want to try to be as inclusive as possible! Thanks so much for your continued support and for checking this video out!! Cheers!

I mostly use Encyclopedia Britannica! Thank you so much for your perspective and for adding to the information!!!
Please do a video on the Lancastria!

I heard from part time explorer that SS Atlantic's captain James Williams was fired from the guion line for being drunk on duty.
@@nathanpreston5056 I've heard rumblings of that, as well!
Where else can I get 125’ equals 37… meters. Shipwreck Sunday please do the SS Pacific off of Washington. Very similar to the Oregon collision except 400 died. Thx
That measurement came from one of my sources so I could be wrong mathematically! I can definitely look into that one! Thank you for your support!!
@@shipwrecksunday it’s awesome. The measurement type detail makes your videos so good. I love it. Keep it up.
@@thereissomecoolstuff thanks so much!! Cheers, friend!
here's something that might help you find information about certain Ships.
For me It was this book called Disaster At Sea by William Henry Flayhart III.
Trust me there are a lot of different Ships and Disasters about them.
P.S it's where I first learned about the S.S Oregon.
I made a ship based on the Oregon, then it was deleted.

@@shipwrecksunday it’s ok,don’t feel bad. that was In September, when I was making the R.M.S. London. Also, thank you
