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
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
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.
There is ONE known video of titanic during fitting out before she was given her enclosed promenade deck 1912 this would be the one difference between her sister olympic
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
@@amaritineenthusiast "Highlighted reply" Yea unfortunately I don't remember the names of those docs it's been quite a while too so they might not exist anymore
Not all launches were filmed. White Star /Harland & Wolff weren't into big launch events. Edit: Oops. Shows how much I know. Titanic's launch was filmed, but the film was lost. Now, that would be a find ...
I love this video and I like your channel

They never tire or you never tire of seeing them?
2:50 That was the Olympic before the Titanic's sinking; she didn't have her full lifeboat complement yet
Ofc she hasn't because it's just her launching
@@Cray-tk1ew Ofc that wasn't after the Titanic's sinking
ofc we gonna have drama
@@scooterman3 Ohhh
0:42 were the engines running or was it just the flow of water spinning it?
The engines were not installed, it was the flow of water spinning the propellers
They had to throw it in neutral and let the ship roll back to start the engine low key.
What is the music called at approximately 9:08 mins into this video please? We really want to know 🙏
That music is called: W. A. Mozart, Symphony No.38 in D major
It’s a really nice piece of music!
Thank you so much! We love it.
Wonderful!
2:53 That was the year of Halley's comet
0:41 how the rms Oceanic proppeler could spin
11:06 That was the year Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto
Damn the Oceanic was the ship Arthur Morgan was on in that one mission.
Aarrrrggh I broke the goddamn wheel! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
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
0:12
Did the Oceanic have her engines fitted and running at launch, or were her propellers just freewheeling?
No engines were installed yet. The propellers were just spinning from the flow of water
0:08 imperator 0:38 oceanic II
What about britannic
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
There is ONE known video of titanic during fitting out before she was given her enclosed promenade deck 1912 this would be the one difference between her sister olympic
Where’s Britannic?
0:08 "Imperator" means "emperor" in Latin
It is emperor in GERMAN
In German it's Kaiser, Imperator is Latin
I your 7th viewr
I am curious why some of these vessels were launched with their screws installed and some not? 🤔
5:57
Hi
12:36 Bavaria? Landlocked Bavaria?!
Yes. Even Bavarians were able to travel to German shores at the time ;)
12:48 Oh so there was a second Mauretania
Yes.
Pretty little 2-stacker.
What about the queen elizabeth 2
Was there
How can you forgot The Carpathia put that ship in part 2 if you do
I don’t know if there’s a photo or video of ship launch
Where is Empress of Ireland
10:09 Mickey Mouse made his debut that year on Sunday November 18th
1:43 "Rex" which means "king" in Latin
You mean rms majestic? At 5:08
Yes RMS Majestic was launched as the German liner "Bismarck" in 1914
12:22 "Vaterland" means "homeland" in German
What about the Edmund fitzgerald
Not an ocean liner
@@nboceanlinerhistory true bcuz edmud Fitzgerald is an cargo ship I think
@@Cray-tk1ewit is a cargo vessel or a ocean liner so you are correct
Huh
No RMS CARPATHIA Launch Ship
Titanic😢😢😢😢😢😥😥😥😥😥😥
what if queen mary is a ghost haunted ship??? 🤨
The Mauritania looks weird when launched 😂😅😂😅
Cunard never gave lusitamia or Mauretania there super structure until the fitting out process
Also never knew there was a second mauretania until this video
Titanic
Titanic launch
WER IS THE TITANIC
Idoit go to 4:42
Read the names💀
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
Britannic was never christened in general. Also, there is no record that the White Star Line intended to name Britannic “Gigantic”
@@nboceanlinerhistory There's mention of "Gigantic" in some docs
@@fmyoungI've never been able to find them, where are they?
@@amaritineenthusiast "Highlighted reply" Yea unfortunately I don't remember the names of those docs it's been quite a while too so they might not exist anymore
imperator you mean limperator right? lmao
NO!
@@Titanicboy5464 you know that was a common nick name for it right?
E
Put the TITANIC in the video the titanic is the most famous ship how could anyone forget the titanic
Titanic DOES appear in the video. How could you miss it? Check at 4:43
I bet you skipped through the video
Just not the video of the launch itself
Not all launches were filmed. White Star /Harland & Wolff weren't into big launch events.
Edit: Oops.
Shows how much I know. Titanic's launch was filmed, but the film was lost.
Now, that would be a find ...
