CARONIA INFO www.caronia2.i...
How I remember the Caronia so well. We were migrating to Australia and en route we stopped at Colombo Harbour on Wednesday 12 April 1961; a hot humid oppressive day . We tied up in the am, alongside the RMS Caronia, and I remember my dad telling mum as we gazed at the ship; that she was "THE GREEN GODDESS". I remember them saying she had an Atrium on board. Caronia was from memory around 34,000 Tons, and our Ship "Oronsay" was around 28,000 Tons. This video tribute brought back a lot of memories to me. I remember that day as if it were five minutes ago. what a beautiful ship she was. I took a Black and White photograph of her. I must try to find it. A sad end to a beautiful ship.
Thank you all for watching. If you have any ideas for another ship, I would welcome them
Sovereign of the Seas would be a good one
MV Britannic iii/ MV Georgic would be good ideas.
@@diegoarias7774 Already done 😉
@@OlympicWS Will you do the Indian Naval Ship INS Vikrant?
Really love your videos. Maybe you can add some technical informations to them, like ship length, weight, passanger capacity or speed. How about a video about early German 4 stackers or the big 4 from white star?
Great video❤❤❤
A well-made tribute as always. I don't think I've said this before, but I love the use of music by Audiomachine and Two Steps From Hell. Such epic music definitely is fitting for these majestic liners.
You all probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me

Thanks for an enjoyable video. Yet another sad end to a great liner...
They all had sad ends, when you think about it.
The greatest ships, died at sea and her spirit is with those that served and enjoyed passage while her soul rests where she died! Amen, Amein and So Say, We All! 😇😇👍👍❤️❤️
Sorry I'm late. I swear every time a ship - especially a great ship - changes hands that life never ends well for them. Excellent video as per usual my friend. As I already said, this one is easily my favorite Caronia. The Green Goddess just had such a transcending charm. There is no question in my mind that if she were designed to today's standards - with balconies and outdoor pools and all that - that she'd be one of the most popular ships in the world, as she once was. It's a shame her life ended the way it did. She was truly a goddess indeed.
Excellent post as usual....thanks.
What a pleasure to watch
What a great ship. She didn't go quietly to the wrecking yard. She fought!
Hear!! Hear!! She Fought To The End, and it was Glorious!!!
Stunning presentation. Very sad ending which often happens to beautiful liners.
Stunning visuals. Loving the newsreel footage.
Thank you for the video!
Remember her stopping in Honolulu before leaving for Taiwan. Harbor pilot said it was scary as this ship creaked and rattled like she was going to sink. She looked like a ghost ship! Broken windows and chipping paint and what looked like curtain material on upper decks everywhere.
Awesome video my grandparents sailed on her in the late 50s on a cruise they still had photos of it that my mother has today
Another well made video. There is little to match the majesty of a ship's launching, as it slips down the ways. Having witness several, it always brings back wonderful memories. Then, to experience sailing during the era of the 50s--complete with civility and full service. Both scenarios, alas, gone forever.
(If I may be allowed a nit-pick, many of the textual captions were not displayed long enough to be read.)
A first class tribute to a beautiful ship
The last generation of liners with great shape. Today's cruise ships are only ugly boxes without any swing, curves and great line.
One ship: Queen Mary 2
@@CariHere Not it still looks like’s today’s cruise ships
Gosh, the music never fails to make me have goosebumps :)
Excellent production, but please give the longer text more time so it can be read easier. Again, very well made content. ❤
Love your videos 👍
Thank you for sharing information about the great ships .
THANK YOU!!!!
I was a crew member on her from August 1966 to July 1967 serving as an Ordinary Seaman.
Great videos..could you do one on the S.A. Vaal. This ship had quite a storied history sailing from the U.K. to South Africa and became one of Carnival's first cruise ships!
So that was two ships that met with ignominious endings, Caronia and America
There were actually hundreds of ships that suffered the same fate, but America and Caronia are just the legends
I like the part where you add Queen Elisabeth || to name Her in her launch
Gotta love that pre-Queen Elizabeth 🇬🇧💜💛💙💜💛💙🇬🇧; all the Royal bling seems a bit much on such a little girl, but she did (and does) her duty to perfection 💜.
Suspecting Caronia to be a motorship, that stack could have been trimmed a bit, say a couple feet off the trailing curve.
Might want to mention that Caronia was running mate to the Mauritania II, not the completely beautiful original 4-stacker 💜.
Which was the mauve-hulled P&O liner of the 1930s?; she was a beauty.
One hell of a beautiful ship. I can still remember seeing her at Southampton at the end of her Cunard days 🥲
Thank you WHITE STAR LINE thank you olimpicws thank you coronia
?
Cunard White star and it's Caronia
My neighbour who’s in her 80s now gave me an old hand made wooden game about 16 years ago it was made by someone in her family who worked at John browns it drove me to distraction at times but the instructions how to play are written on an invite card to the launch of the T.S.S CARONIA on the 30th of October 1947 at 1.25 P.M.*
shes magnificent
Such a shame none of these wonderful ships were saved!
In a way, the Caronia had a similar fate to that of the former America. It’s not often that you hear about an ocean liner being claimed by the elements.
Another sad ending to a great ship. Do none of their stories end well?
Wait! How old was Prince Philip when he climbed onto Caronia?
The 1940's Santa Rosa and Santa Paula of the Grace Line!
Is that the Queen Mary in the background at 5:04?
This boat launched on my birthday October 30 😅
Lucky you. I don't know too many people who was born the same day a great liner was launched. 😄👍
Nor do I
ok ok omos
Couldn't read subtitles fast enough b4 they disappeared. Stopped watching and Unsubscribed
🥹🫢😩😀 I don't know how I can handle it
I only found this video today. Thank you for the Caronia Timeline credit at the very end. I'm fully aware of the time it takes to research and assemble such material - it takes some commitment. It's a real shame you didn't contact me about your ambitions for this video, as I'm pretty sure that you'd agree that history has not been kind to the interim legacy of this trend-setting ship.
This could have been addressed, big time, to try and stop a range other ships being claimed as the most luxurious when they're nowhere deserving of such an accolade. As a former crew member, the whole point of my building the Caronia Timeline's 1,200+ pages was to try and address this historical imbalance, allowing visitors to make up their own minds over the claims to luxury. I'd have loved to co-operate with you in extending that onto TH-cam.
