In fairness to our friend Drachinifel, he occasionally throws out a really dry one-liner from time to time, very British humor but if you're into that he's pretty good.
I feel like it would be cool to talk about a comparison between olympic and mauretania, or compare Olympic to britannic, to show how the first and last of the Olympic pic class differed.
Alright alright I'm back and I'm here to stay...until my next unintentional hiatus. I went to the Grand Canyon and Vegas and had some sailing trips but I'm back!
I love the fact that oceanic 2 was revolutionary at that time And i dont know that brunel's great eastern was longer that it cannot docked at its port.
Just a correction, the ship was under a "shared" command at the time she ran aground. There was a "Naval Captain" and a "Merchant Marine Captain". The reason was that no naval Captain had experience sailing such a large non-naval vessel. The navigation "error" was compounded by three conditions: differences of opinion over the correct position as stated, due to unformilarity with the area, a complicated by very strong tidal currents and poor visibility.
It is worth mentioning that the Oceanic pretty much was an enlarged version of the Teutonic and Majestic, i.e. more evolutionary than revolutionary in her design. Teutonic and Majestic's general arrangements were more or less the same as Oceanic's. This becomes extra apparent if you look at the Majestic after her 1902-03 refit. Although not a record breaker, the Oceanic was still an express liner, like her little sisters capable of a good 20 knots. The "slow and luxurious" strategy that is so often attributed to the White Star Line was actually mostly manifested with the "Big Four". (The Olympic class ships were also "express liners" with their 21-22 knot service speeds.) Another point of interest is the Oceanic's unusually tall funnels. This was likely due to new philosophies in steam engine technology emerging in the early 1890s, where natural draught had become more important than before, which was achieved by installing these really tall funnels. Compare for example with Cunard's Lucania and Campania of 1893 which had similar giant smokestacks. Due to her speed, Oceanic was also one of the four liners selected to inaugurate White Star's Southampton via Cherbourg express service in 1907, a very important event in history of Atlantic ocean travel. After the introduction of the Olympic in 1911, she was her continuous running mate until the war started.
Having worked as a cabinetry maker for a number of years from about 1999 to 2006, I can say that what they put into these ships back in the day was nothing less than extraordinary. Workmanship was obviously important back in those days. Artificial workmanship seems to suffice now. Unless you really know what you're looking at. At this point I tend to think it was wasted effort as most of these ship would be sunk during wars as scrapped without little regard to the efforts that went into their fitting out.
Welcome back! So this must've been where Olympic (and I guess also Titanic) gained their tendencies to have run-ins or near run-ins with other vessels and geography and such. Speaking of Titanic and near run-ins with other vessels, are we just gonna ignore the fact that Oceanic was right next to the City of New York when Titanic almost sucked that one into her aft? Sheesh. 🤣 Imperator next?? 👀
Hey man, fantastic video and an amazing way to return after a few months. It was a good watch, and I’ve rewatched it a few times as well. I think it would be a good video to compare the first liner of a company to the last liner, or comparing rival liners.
Another thing we’ve learned: Lightoller loved this ship. Dude probably would have pulled a Captain Rostron with the Maurentania if she had of been scrapped instead of ran aground.
I agree with lightollers take on gaudiness, white starling was very conservative with its interior design. Beautiful, well ordered, and ornate but not gaudy and suffocating. I think this is really shown with the comparison between the Oceanic's and Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse's dinning saloon .
Great video! Glad you're back! Can or will you do a video on Lusitania's sister ships? Also you better upload more often. I didn't subscribe for one video every 300 years
The only difference between a water driven turbine and a propeller is where the power is applied and where the work is done. Flow water over a prop and it will turn.
If you need ship video ideas I have one you can make about You could make a story of the Morro castle Archelie luaro The wilhiem Gusloff Or the leviathan Hope this gives you ideas
It may just be me, but in every photograph of her, doesn't Oceanic look like she has a consistant list that looks similar to the infamous one that Imperator had?
some ships you could do- HMS Hood/German DKM Bismarck US naval taffy 3 and their fight against the Japanese off Samar USS indianapolis sinking and the shark wars USS Harder, Barb, Tang submarines U-99 German Uboat USS Enterprise ww2 aircraft carrier USS Texas battleship HMS Warspite-battleship
History and comedy can go together (monty python being one of the best examples) but this isn't one of the cases... it just feels like some teacher trying to relate to their students. 😅
since this is called nautical study- why not branch into other ships, battleships, battlecruisers, sailing ships, submarines, etc. I can think of a laundry list of ships you couldmake videos about
Hey man just wanted u to know this was a joke please don’t contact me bc it was a joke I’m seriously just kidding just a little bit of joking around with the best UA-camr around and I promise it won’t happen again please dude it won’t happen again just don’t hurt me or my family please dude please I take it all back man just please let her go she has nothing to do with this please man
What a pity that such a beautiful ship should receive such an infantile superficial and facetious treatment from this tiresome commentator.. Fortunately there are others covering this subject for grown-up people.. and there is a good book on the Oceanic for those who can read.
Nothing like a beautiful liner being covered by funni boat man to start my day :)
Indeed
same
Oh no not you again.
glad you're back. your funny commentary is unrivaled when it comes to the "boat people" on youtube

You are the Sam O'Nella of ocean liners. I love your content

Love this idea too ^^^
@@matpol098 thanks!!
And he could say wether he thoight it was an improvement.

Honestly I absolutely love nautical study. Informative AND hilarious why hasn’t this channel blown up more. It’s criminal
Look! He’s managed the Cape Horn and he has returned!
Nautical study is back, Cheers!
In the 70s, the engines as well as the propeller shafts were left. No idea what she looks like now though.
The King of Obscure Ships and Ocean Liners is back, may he continue to preach his wise wisdom to all of us boat people!
I love the fact that oceanic 2 was revolutionary at that time
And i dont know that brunel's great eastern was longer that it cannot docked at its port.
Nautical study : * after explaining how the oceanic 2 sank *
Me : Well time for the 3rd ship now
Quite the bonnie wee beastie... Ought to get the Atlas diecast mini-model of her...
This finally showed up first on my recommended videos!! So glad you're back! 😁
what an amazing vid once again well done good sir
Oceanic's funnels were similar in proportion to pringles cans
I've truly missed your videos! So glad to see this!
Aye great video I love the Oceanic it was the subject for one of my first videos

Been a long time! Live your vids. Keep it up. Better not take another 2 months.

With such bad luck, I'd say it lasted for a long time.
Welcome Back! I love your video.

Maybe the CSS Georgia?
The ship so useless it was turned into a stationary gun battery?
My favorite ocean liner baby!
Welcome back. Please don’t leave
It would be cool to see more videos on Warships. There are a great amount of warships with amazing stories that not many people know.
please, i second this
Hey nautical study, could you do a video on the AHS Centaur. It was a hospital ship during the second World War that deserves to be remembered
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
Do a video about the Costa Concordia and the "five star captain"
my favorite ship
I agree with lightollers take on gaudiness, white starling was very conservative with its interior design.

New Nautical Study dropped!
Edit: a White Star ship ramming another ship? Haven't heard that one before
The king returns
Oof...that "what have we learned" actually hurt a little.
I'm pretty sure Oceanic 2 is Way popular than I think
He's finally back! God I missed your videos. Could you do a video on the SS Edmund Fitzgerald or KMS Bismarck please?
you're like ConeOfArc or PotentialHistory but for ships, please post more! your videos are great!
Great video! Glad you're back! Can or will you do a video on Lusitania's sister ships? Also you better upload more often. I didn't subscribe for one video every 300 years
I think you should do the S.S Cap Arcona (1927)
I have a ship suggestion. Do one on the Great Lakes storm of 1913. And the ss kamloops.
Nono, it's the Olympics, Adriatic and Oceanic II before Cunard even comes to my mind
I am also back after not watching this channel for IDK how months
Did they put the engines in the Oceanic at 1:28? If not, why were they spinning?
The water was pushing them. Slide a pinwheel or a desk fan through water and the same thing will happen (i think).
The only difference between a water driven turbine and a propeller is where the power is applied and where the work is done. Flow water over a prop and it will turn.
10:04 well that hit too close to home
Finally another video
Bungabunga, back into my naval studies I go!
how about looking into NYK Hikawa Maru, if you don't mind looking up Japanese ocean liners
I love your videos
Very nice.
Why not make a video about the Laurentic II ( 1927 ) ?, the last of the coal fired liners with a powerplant similar as the Olympic class.
Nautical study video on great eastern when
video idea: the sinking of the soviet ship admiral nakhimov, the history behind the ship is truly fascinating.
Can u do a video of the RMS Empress of Australia?
you should make a video on rms oceanic III.... too soon?
I love nautical study
Make a great eastern video if you need content ideas, because it’s the best ship ever
If you need ship video ideas I have one you can make about
You could make a story of the Morro castle Archelie luaro
The wilhiem Gusloff
Or the leviathan
Hope this gives you ideas
Can u do da rms Franconia
Awesome
could you do a video on the SS Baychimo
It may just be me, but in every photograph of her, doesn't Oceanic look like she has a consistant list that looks similar to the infamous one that Imperator had?
Maybe you should do the RMS Aquitania
You broke your promise that you’ll mention me :(
Nah jk, you’re still an amazing channel.
I think you'll like the Q&A
@@NauticalStudy hmm
Yep defnitely, thanks!
And proceeds to show SS limparater at the end
Hms Lapland next?
wait, do you actualy have a twitter?
some ships you could do-
HMS Hood/German DKM Bismarck
US naval taffy 3 and their fight against the Japanese off Samar
USS indianapolis sinking and the shark wars
USS Harder, Barb, Tang submarines
U-99 German Uboat
USS Enterprise ww2 aircraft carrier
USS Texas battleship
HMS Warspite-battleship
I also find it funny there is no pictures of any of the remains of the ship
Oceanic was almost as beautiful as the Titanic
Yeeee here comes my video
She literally looks like a mini titanic!
He's alive, yay?
Electric Boogaloo! 😅😅
YES MORE BOAT VIDEOS

Did you really just ramble for over 10 minutes about Oceanic without making a joke about her Doug Dimmadome - ass funnels?
1:08 ur mom lol XDDD
