The Britannic Houses
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2018
- We all know that large portions of the interior of the RMS Olympic still survive in places like the White Swan in Alnwick, England, but did you know that many of the fittings built for the Britannic also survive, mostly across Ireland? We had the privilege of visiting and surveying these places in April, 2018, and want to share with you how these artifacts are helping us keep our Titanic recreations authentic.

I had no idea Britannic’s interiors exist today! Wow!
Seeing these panels and woodwork is mind blowing. This intricate carving and woodwork just does not exist on ships today. Even the Queen Mary dies not have detail and woodwork like this! Would be amazing to be on a liner from this time period today. No one alive today has experienced that kind of luxury at sea.
I think titanic's first class cabins look far better than the ones on the oasis class ships even though I love those ships too
You could probably still buy them off people for really cheap from people who dont know how to price them
Olympic's first class Lounge still is around.
When you've finished Titanic Honor and Glory, I think you should write a book that compiles your journey during the game construction and all of historical research you've come across. Have you ever considered this?
I would definitely buy it. ^^
KiTbG Same here!
Extractor - It hasn't started - it was merely a random suggestion
Extractor - The game has started
Extractor - Possibly next year or 2020
Matt’s knowledge is incredible.
We cannot thank you enough for the extreme thoroughness you have put into the whole Titanic: Honor and Glory project and all the accompanying research segments with it, including this one. As the Titanic, her sister ships and the White Star Line have all but disappeared from living memory and with other historians and experts marching on with time, this new and emerging team of experts bring all this breathtaking work to others across the Millennial and future generations. The baton is being passed to you and, based on your continuing extraordinary work, with complete, total and deserved trust.
Bruce B Chin I grew up with Ken Marschall, and Don Lynch etc. as THE Titanic experts. It is wonderful to see the Titanic’s as well as the Olympic class legacy continue through the generations. I really feel this is an important moment in Titanic history. It is beyond words to see that the Titanic will be preserved virtually like this and that the THG team seem to be the new forefront of Titanic history.
Absolutely amazing to see what was anticipated for the Britannic. These homes are basically small museums, fantastic work.
Can houses go back to looking like this? I don't like living in white boxes
Yeah same haha
Interesting that you say this. Their are so many beautiful Anglican Churches in Atlantic Canada, built by ships carpenters, with stunning wood work. All are threatened because of disappearing church attendance. Some will become private homes but others will simply be destroyed by the weather when they are abandoned and the heat is turned off.
Lets also build ships like this too with this beautiful interior.
@@maryrafuse2297 Catholic churches too. Indeed.
Houses today have no soul or character. Everyone wants everything to be white.
I always wanted to see what the interior of the Britannic actually looked like. Thanks for posting this video. The style isn’t much different compared to the Titanic which makes sense because they’re sisters.
Very awesome video! The paneling and the hand carved fixtures are beautiful. The Britanic has always been overlooked Olympic class liner because of the Titanic. Imagine if the Olympic was never scrapped.
Loved this! I'm so glad to see someone, like Matt, who's so detail-oriented...modeling the interiors. You're lucky to have him on the team.
Incredible that you can figure this out almost a century after the fact.
I can't even begin to thank you all for filming and posting the videos of the beautiful interiors of these amazing work of art ships. I have been researching the Olympic Class ships for the last 30 years and never got down to the level that you all have, so I never even knew these houses existed. Just amazing.
The Britannic House in Belfast is great, I had the opportunity to visit a couple of years ago. Wonderful hear more detail about the various panels.
You guys are doing a fantastic job with your research. So many people have tried to recreate Titanic in the past, but I can't imagine many have matched your enthusiasm, thoroughness and eye for detail. Your project really deserves to be a success because all your hard work will is bringing so much accurate information and detail to everyone. Keep up the great work.
I do love me some historical "the-more-you-knows".
I really do like and appreciate how you guys are so into update and project videos and have a real conversation with the community. Please keep it up
Great interesting video! One suggestion I have is cutting back on the jump-cuts. They become very distracting when too close together
Matt seems to be enjoying every minute of it! ❤ I would too! 😆
Oh my! Thank you once again - your dedication is beyond words.......
Very interesting to see the interiors that were barely ever seen before.
Wow! It's so cool that those pieces survived. You guys are so knowledgeable about the Titanic and her sister ships. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely stunning! Thanks guys for the tour!
I think there's also something of Britannic's paneling inside the Crown Liquor Saloon at Belfast.
Hallo cronos :)
hallo
CronosDarth your ships are amazing.
It must be weird to have two Titanic fetishs in your house
thank you very much
Incredible! I hope the Titanic community gets to see more parts of Britannic soon!
Great to see ocean liner history being preserved.
Thank you for sharing.
Wow!!!! This is truly incredible! Thank you so much for all of the hard work y'all are doing!
Thank you so much for posting these exquisite interiors of the Britannic.
You are doing marvellous work.
As usual, great video, full of history.
Love your work, and as a fellow naval architecture and white star line history geek your works are priceless. As a young gay man however I must say, the Honor and Glory Interior Modeler Chris Daley is one handsome man, like damn. Cheers
Made a $15 donation and feel honored to have helped to see this project finished, even if it is a drop in the Atlantic Ocean were Titanic sleeps.
That blew my mind. just think if that wood was installed in the Britannic it could have been lost to history when she sank
This video is brilliant and the people involved in the investigation are thorough and extremely knowledgeable as to where the different parts of the paneling were located on the ship and how they were reassembled. I was honoured to have been able to see how the wood was reincorporated into other homes. Thanks for posting this video.
Darryl
I literally found pictures of this stuff a few days ago, and then you guys make this video, good timing👍
Thank you for sharing this, lads.
Cool to see your partners, Chris & Matt, the Interior modelers.
We love you and we will always support you! Keep it up!!!
What beautiful homes. The woodwork is really something to behold.
Amazing to see these outstanding pieces of history brought into public eye!
that one guy had a badass bar in his house, how crazy is that.
theres probably gonna be that one person who yells how britannic was hit by a torpedo.
No is was a mine not a torpedo
you didnt understand my statement lol
Many of the Britannic survivors believed they were torpedoed, it was anticipated and everything happened so quickly. It was only after Britannic’s wreck was discovered and explored by Jacques Cousteau (and much later, by Robert Ballard) that it was determined based on the evidence of the wreck and reexamining survivor testimony, that HMHS Britannic ‘almost certainly struck a mine.’
wow thanks for the explanation, that's really good.
Cebzcity ROBLOX no no no, Brittanic was sunk by space aliens! Or a mine... Hahaha
wait so somewhere in the world is stil a grand staircase.
that is amazing
no it went down in titanic and Britannic
No dummy there is still the Olympics grand staircase which was saved during her scrapping
@@nightlock-cf3br no dum dum it was destroyed in her scrapping... there is a photo of it too
No dum dum dummy I've seen color photos of it taken LAST year
@@nightlock-cf3br it's a colorized picture. There's not a single picture taken recently.
Gorgeous woodwork I just don't know how 3 huge liners where completed in that time with all that hand carved wooden pannels
A lot of people worked on these ships (14,000 +). Working hours were also longer back then since there were no laws that could limit a persons workday to 8 hrs. back then. They also had more traditional craftsman back then vs today where the trade has almost entirely died out. The ships were also built over a couple of years. Titanic's construction as an example began in 1909 , launched in 1911, then fitted out by 1912.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING ALL THIS! Your knowledge of the Olympic-Class liners is amazing and I say that as someone who has been an ocean liner enthusiast for over 40 years. I think it was in John Maxtone-Graham's "The Only Way to Cross" that there was a mention of Britannic interiors being sold but I've never heard of anything more specific. I deeply appreciate being able to see so much beauty and craftsmanship and how you've documented and preserved it in video form. The interiors of the Britannic would have been elaborate but not gaudy.----Also I have a question for you: Do you think it's true that the Britannic was to have been called Gigantic or that Britannic was always the intended name?
okay, that was simply amazing
love the demo. looks amazing, I cant wait for the hole game
Titanic: Honor And Glory: DLC "Britannic' coming soon...
well it is....
Not a dlc
welp! got some news for you! :)
This so cool! And refreshing to see young people so enthusiastic on the subject of Golden Age ocean liners.
Thanks for the tour!!
Wow, just amazing.
This is so exciting. A truly amazing video. There must have been a lot of detective work going on too. The wood is in far better condition, being in private hands than much in The White Swan, Alnwick, which is of course, a public building using woodwork that had already seen public service for about 24 years and has been in a public setting all its life. The attention to style given by the team is also great, as without mentioning these nuances would be totally lost on us. That's the sort of detail that I like.
Very interesting! I hope to visit there, in the future.
Sir, you're living my dream to find and experience all of this neat stuff! How did you trace all of this (without revealing the addresses..
After watching this video I am now a subscriber. Thanks for the great video of your research.
THIS IS AMAZING!
I love it!
I know these guys are architects, but my sister got a degree in interior design, and the way they describe the types of wall designs is just like how she does it. Cool video!
So lucky! I wish I could have that privilege!
Wow amazing!
Many fittings were left aboard liners during war. There are photos of Aquitania serving as a hospital ship with her public rooms intact.
Thank u for this
Until the 90s there was a bar restaurant in Belfast above the Crown bar called the Britannic with original Britannic wood panelling. It probably went to auction after the Titanic movie came out.
It's gorgeous and beautiful
Yes! I remember reading about this years ago
Amazing
I am certain that Rose and Jack's wood plank in the movie came from the 1st Class Lounge.
Beautiful I love britannics interior and britannic before the hospital ship
Thank you for sharing :)
I've been interested in the RMS Titanic since I was in Grade 3! I am most anticipating the 2nd class sections of the ship in Honour & Glory because I find these sections are least documents. In all my research I think I have only seen 3 pictures of the second class dining saloon.
Amazing video! Regards from Argentina! :D
Both of the guys in the video are so super cute! especially the short haired one!
Just so interesting.
There also used to be a cinema in dublin city that had britanics furnishings, unfortunatly it was demolished 1972
They didn’t salvage the Britannic out of it first?? I’ll never understand that!
@@zombiemom6701 I’m not sure if they salvaged it, there’s also a pub here with Mauretania’s panelling
Tom mentioned a theatre was torn down and the wood was installed in the second house they visited
Very cool video, guys!
Fasinating
To bad the Britannic would not be build as originally intended. The lifeboats... I mean I get it, but it is a luxury liner... Not an U-boat construction site...
NotJustinY. Those extra lifeboats were for the safety of the passengers. Without them far more than 30 would have died when Britannic sank. They were gantry davits, designed to hold massive amounts of lifeboats.
they were ugly though, olympic managed perfectly well her whole life with the welwyn quadrant type as used on T
Paddeling the iron with white wood without the grid would have done it... Just the horrible texture...
Andrew James Nobody gives a shit if lifeboats are “ugly”, they exist to save lives. I’m sure you’d love to be onboard a sinking ship, only to be told you’re probably going to die because there aren’t enough lifeboats for everyone left
Assasin2 even if Titanic had had enough life boats for everybody aboard the crew would not have been able to launch all of them in time. They had to float the last two off of the deck ffs.
I have one question..... Is Thomas andrews's book of plans..can still be seen?
First Name - Yes and no: The ‘book’ you refer to was a film prop and never existed in real life. I suppose it still exists in some Hollywood storeroom. The REAL Titanic plans were on large-scale blueprints and are still kept at the Harland & Wolf offices. They are occasionally shown in U.K TV documentaries.
This is so Surreal ~!
J'aimerais beaucoup pouvoir admirer de mes propres yeux, les magnifiques boiseries d'un des paquebots de la classe olympique ! Merci, pour cette vidéo 🇫🇷🙏🤗😘
Very cool
Man, you came to Ireland one month too early. It looks freezing when you're walking outside at 8:49. Right now it couldn't be more different from that, Ireland is under a heatwave with 30 C / 86 F basically every day for the past week.
I never fully understood why the furnishings needed to be removed from liners before they were requisitioned. Thank you!
Nice to have been the 3464th person to have digitally seen this since 1916 or whenever.
Titanic Honor and Glory your Lego Lusitania video was found
If for some reason you don't finish the game, at least release the model for sale, there's so much knowledge and information going into this. I hope you guys dont have bitten onto something to large to swallow. Good luck!
I wish another update video would come out
I wish we knew more about the craftsmen that did all these carvings in the Harland & Wolff workshops. Unfortunately we will probably know nothing of them.
Fascinating! Thank you so much for posting. I just wish we knew what happened to the cherubs- did they ever exist, or were they never casted? Same with the Olympic, one can only presume they were exclusively sold off privately, or were scrapped.
Did HW use the styles/furnishings that were on White Star's Olympic class ships ever used on any other class of ships or on anything built for another company? If so, could any of the components get mixed up?
Wow 👍👍👍
You guys know so mutch about those ships
I want those houses . . . yesterday!! Did you hear the story about the interior decorator who tore off a few panels of the Titanic; and then floated on them until he was picked up by the Carpathia; took the panels onboard - and got off with them in New York (or was it Halifax)?
These guys should make a britanic game where you get to switch the mode of the britanic from hospital ship to passenger liner britannics staircase really interests me
I really hope the creepy dog painting at the end of the video is in the game somewhere. Like in the cargo hold or something.
Cool
I couldn't help noticing the scarf. GO BOMBERS.
These guys are **really** into this, aren't they .....
kcirdrab ikr he is dressed really proper but I like it
TheRealMVP4Life
Go to places like London and you'll see it's really not that uncommon. People still wear full double breasted suits, cravats, etc morning coats in some cases
Its such a shame that the scrapping of Olympic was a great loss... even if some of the interior portions were saved, still it is a huge loss...
That's the one ship scrapping that pisses me off
I've been wanting to do something special for Britannic as relatively few people talk about it. I'm still planning it out, but I will share the basics if anyone's interested.
You mentioned some of Olympics interior being in Sheffield?...would love to know where it is and if it is possible to see it, thanks
They're at a place called Cutler's Hall in Sheffield
Siiiiiiiiiii
😄😄😄👏
When it was sinking how did it look? And when it went down? How did the grind staircase look?And the 3rd class rooms?
