did they? Germany used them to great effect. certain AMCs sank more tonnage in the second world war than Graf Spee, a warship purpose-built for the same mission. British AMCs were very inconvenient to the U-boats when defending convoys.
“Yes I’m aware most of you are rooting for white star, I’m doing a Cunard video.” Me - FINALLY!!! A video about CUNARD ships other than the Lusitania!!! :D this is what I’m looking for
You freak. Next you'll say the Aquitania was prettiest. Well that may or may not be true, I still point towards the corner and insist you sit in it until you have learnt not to say such things. Dunce hat will be provided at a charge of £ 0.11. You may bring your own but it must be to code.
Fitting too, as her designer built a disaster of a railway and was building a monster of a train bridge (near my house actually) about simultaneously to the Great Eastern
Lovely ships, especially for such a transitional time in liner design -- somehow both ancient and modern-looking at once. You can see a lot of later Cunard design philosophy in them; emphasis on ventilation, large open wells above dining saloons to provide natural light and air movement, and lots of skylights in the public areas. And all of it just plastered in Victorian opulence too. These are easily two of my favourite liners, and the Campania just a bit more.
I'm glad people are talking about ships of the 19th century. Personally most of my favorites come from this era, Great Eastern, City of Rome, City of New York, Britannia, Persia
The battleship Royal Oak, which was collided with and sank the Campania, would be the first British Battleship to be sunk in World War 2. She was torpedoed and sunk while sitting at her anchorage in Scapa Flow on 14 October, 1939.
She was the first battleship to be sunk, but not the first warship. That title goes to HMS Courageous which was torpedoed by a u-boat on the 17th September 1939 off the coast of Ireland.
Speaking of overlooked ships - between the Campania/Lucania and Mauretania/Lusitania were Caronia and Carmania - notable for the experimentation with turbine engines. Thanks for this - I am one of the few Cunard tragics / white star who? watchers of these videos, so pleased you did give these two liners a bit of daylight!
Since you mentioned it in the video I feel compelled to ask again (lol). Can you do a video on the Aquitania? I loved this video, as always your work is amazing! I know I have asked before for a video on the Aquitania but she is my favorite ocean liner and in my opinion one of the best. Thanks for considering and hope you have a great day!!
Just found out today that my Grandmother immigrated to America on the Lucania. She had told everyone that she came to America in a "cage." So I've been searching for the roots of this story. Turns out it was just steerage on the Lucania. She always traveled first class after that.
You should do a video on the Great Lake passenger vessel the Keewatin! It was build on the river Clyde just like Mauretania and Lusitania and is still around today! It’s being restored near my house in Hamilton Ontario.
Jesus Christ these two were Ventilator farms...I Never noticed that until now also I just...I hate the later look of Campania as a Seaplane Tender, it would be one thing if it was a single funnel forward and side-by-side aft but...the other way around just looked wrong
Third class is alive and well in the railway industry, as the name suggests, third class is pretty basic, 6 people to a section, no privacy, buy your own food and make your own bed, lol no turndown service here 😆 many people on TH-cam have documented their experiences in third class and it's quite an interesting experience for sure. 😅
Very interesting normally wren I find these videos they are just a collection of pictures with a sound track and information I will be looking up more of your videos
Sunk after breaking loose from her moorings in a storm and colliding with the Royal Oak….. Is that the same Royal Oak that was sunk herself by Gunther Prien …. (The Bull of Scappa flow) in October ‘39
Excellent content and interestingly presented. Glad I subbed a while back. Keep it going bro! Edit: I was the first “like” on this video! I’d like to thank my fast thumbs, TH-cam, Steve Jobs, the Academy… 🤡
Fun fact: I intended on uploading this at 7:45AM this morning but my computer had a seizure and nearly deleted the whole thing.
I guess I'm not the only one with a computer that has seizures.
Your computer probably did not recognize it as one of your films as it lacked the modern architecture complaints...
np your content still good at all
“This type of ship was referred to as an armed merchant cruiser, and would prove to be *floating dumpster fires.”*
Just yes.
he's not wrong tho

I'm late to the show, so is it safe to drop the spoiler that White Star loses to Cumard in the end....

"What if America wanted round 3?What if France wanted round 35?" lives in my head rent free
This channel is way too underrated
"The train werck that was the Great Eastern" Describes it so well xD
Still one of my top three ships though. I love how jacked up it was.
Fitting too, as her designer built a disaster of a railway and was building a monster of a train bridge (near my house actually) about simultaneously to the Great Eastern
Great Eastern still can’t catch a break from being mocked
@@sks17873 it is really ugly though
The Great Eastern almost has it worse than Titanic I mean almost worse

Thank you for this video. I recently learned that my great grandfather emigrated via Liverpool to New York aboard RMS Campania in 1897.
The battleship Royal Oak, which was collided with and sank the Campania, would be the first British Battleship to be sunk in World War 2. She was torpedoed and sunk while sitting at her anchorage in Scapa Flow on 14 October, 1939.

@@nathanieljohnston3475 Thanks Nathaniel, corrections have been made.
My great grandfather Norman Imray was chief engineer for the Cunard lines in the early 1900’s. Thank you for creating this feed!

The boat people think you’re under appreciated
I've got to say, when I see your comments on my new posts it really brightens my day. I see your pfp and think "Hell yes he's back"
@@NauticalStudy yay :) Derby Possum is a regular on this channel too.
“Keep looking” got me good. Love the videos my guy
RMS Campania is one of my favorite liners actually. Thanks for the video.
The Great Eastern was a great ship, not for passengers but for cable laying
Loved it and you had me rolling with those blue ribbon award jokes
Since you mentioned it in the video I feel compelled to ask again (lol). Can you do a video on the Aquitania? I loved this video, as always your work is amazing!

You have no idea how long I've wanted a video about Campania! No one ever discusses these ships!
Thank you for this video! My grandmother sailed on the RMS Lucania as an infant when immigrating to America.
Ah it’s a good day when Nautical Study uploads
I love the smartass jokes you pepper in these videos. It sets you apart from everyone else.
"What if the French wanter round 35?"
Still waiting on the answer to that question today
This is my favorite channel

Giant engines....largest triple expansion.....perhaps largest ever built!!!!! This alone should make every motor maniac drool!!!!
You should do a video on the Great Lake passenger vessel the Keewatin! It was build on the river Clyde just like Mauretania and Lusitania and is still around today! It’s being restored near my house in Hamilton Ontario.
One day you will have to make a video on the great eastern, and it will be amazing
I love your channel dude just because of how funny you are and how interesting the videos are.
well i'm on my third watch. i guess i'll see you next year
Jesus Christ these two were Ventilator farms...I Never noticed that until now
also I just...I hate the later look of Campania as a Seaplane Tender, it would be one thing if it was a single funnel forward and side-by-side aft but...the other way around just looked wrong
Fürst Bismarck from 1890 was my favorite.
finally a video that talks about cunard small ships
You seriously deserve more subs
We need a video on the Great Eastern, even if it's just a full meme video
4:39 - Isn't that the police station theme from Lego Island?
You're very perceptive....
Excellent as always!!
Fascinating bit of history, well at least it saw a second life in service heh.
I love Campania’s overly large cowl ventilators and it’s bridge
My favorite twins, god i love those. Beautiful ships.
Rostron (of the Carpathis) was Captain of the Campania when he sighted a sea monster in Irish waters. It's in his autobiography.
It was Megan Markle.
Can’t wait to watch
Video idea for you. And it’s something nobody had really covered. America’s 1st pirate William Claiborne.
i was curious. could you do a video on some of the ships from the union cattle line like RMS arundel castle and RMS windsor castle?
You just got to love vibrations
Annoying with phone annoying with ships
Video nice 👍
I recently opened a channel, you can rate my videos about ships, please🥺
And you are a good TH-camr
Third class is alive and well in the railway industry, as the name suggests, third class is pretty basic, 6 people to a section, no privacy, buy your own food and make your own bed, lol no turndown service here 😆 many people on TH-cam have documented their experiences in third class and it's quite an interesting experience for sure. 😅
love this
Very interesting normally wren I find these videos they are just a collection of pictures with a sound track and information I will be looking up more of your videos
Love it.
Excellent.
make a video about the RMMV Oceanic
amazing!
Make a video about the m.s Oceanos that sunk in 1991
can you please do a video on the queen elizabeth 2
also the first ship to be fitted with Marconi wireless sank dering her launch. so not tactically you wer right.
These ships didn't have many collisions, as they were Cunard ships and not White Star ships
Are you going to cover mississippi river boats?
Do an analysis of the nautilus Disney version and the most modern Virginia class sub who would win
👍👌👏😊❤️
rms camoania vs rms carpathia
Sunk after breaking loose from her moorings in a storm and colliding with the Royal Oak…..
Is that the same Royal Oak that was sunk herself by Gunther Prien …. (The Bull of Scappa flow) in October ‘39
Yep!
Excellent content and interestingly presented. Glad I subbed a while back. Keep it going bro!

"Embleton Cut in Twain by the Liner During a Fog" why did they write like this?
why *not?*
Would I buy a used 1890’s Liner from this man?
Maybe not.
😂😂😂
Tugboats next?
Can anyone find anything on the ss Embleton?
What video are you going to upload next another ocean liner or things in world war 2 or what?
Well I won't release too much info but I did just finish building the new Lego Titanic set....
@@NauticalStudy ooh
Campania in 1907 1914 as a 3 ship for Lusitania 😀
I love you
Woah this is moving so fast
👁👄👁
;-;
Google botched the Lucania pronunciation
camp-ain-iah is how it is pronounced

What did I mispronounce?
