For Lusitania, it's pretty safe to assume it sounded a lot like that, but it sounds very different under high pressure steam power. Reports say the Lusitania and Mauretania sounded very similar.
Fun fact, one of Queen Mary 2's Horns, is actually one of the OG Queen Mary's whistles. which is why it is powered with steam. The Sound of the Great Queen Mary still Sounds over the ocean even after nearly 100 years after she was built. there is something poetic about it, and i love it
Queen Mary's whistle (under steam) makes her sound like she's the icon who owned the ocean. Which she absolutely did. Best whistle ever. My #1 favorite ocean liner ever.
I got to travel on her 2x at very end of her service (I was 7) ... believe me her horn would scare me every time 😂. I remember those voyages (also Queen Eliz and SS United States) like yesterday
@@MineTwine45 ohhh that makes sense. Since I think they went bankrupt after working on Queen Mary. Then it was a rusty hull. Then they asked the government for money but they said the only to is to merge with white star. So yea I get your point now. O forgot about that yesterday
For some context this video covers all known "Operated" "Owned" and "Chartered" ships that Cunard operated throughout their history. I recognize Olympic, Majestic, and Letitia are not true Cunarders and at face value should not be on this list, but by technicality Cunard did in fact "operate" them whether it be by merger (Cunard-White star Line) or by joint service (Cunard and Donaldson Atlantic Line). I wanted this compilation to cover a broad selection of ships that Cunard operated throughout their history, ships that operated under the Cunard umbrella. I understand your points/concerns if you don't agree with this list, but I figured I'd share my perspective when I was creating this list.
Amazing video! Considering that some of these recordings are rare, it’s amazing hearing their voices of the first time or an actual clear recording of their voices. It feels so Magical and tingly at the same time.
I love that full video of the Sagafjord and Vistafjord passing each other. Sagafjord has to salute her flagship! I also love you show the fleet carnival ignores!
I love the sound of Olympic entering NY. I just love it. For some reason, Seadream I (Sea Goddess I) reminds me of modern ships like Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy's normal horn (not musical). Royal Viking Sun has the pitch I would expect in a *modern* ship horn. There is nothing to say about Queen Victoria, THAT HORN IS JUST AMAZING. I do not know why, but it literally just "tickles" my brain by being at the perfect pitch.
Carpathia isn't on here because I don't trust those videos claiming its her whistle. All those videos of Carpathia's whistle have no source and to me thats a red flag, I just can't trust that.
After RMS Queen Mary 2, it's sad to see the sorry state the Cunard fleet is in. The MS Queen Victoria, Elizabeth, and Anne aren't the ugliest cruise ships I've ever seen, but you could make they case they're each trying hard for that title. Sadly, I guess that's what it takes to be a profitable shipping line these days: finances over finesse. At least we still have the QM2 as the legacy keeper for the great age of ocean liners.
the sound of the lusitania is wrong...that's a steam siren...by making it work with compressed air the density is different and so is the sound...a bit like when you change a person's voice using the helium...the density of helium is different from oxygen and therefore makes the vocal cords vibrate differently
Since its foundation in 1839/1840, 249 ships have sailed for the Cunard Line [founded as the Cunard Steamship Company] (but not all ships were originally built as Cunard-Liners). 🙂 The next ship of the Cunard Line will therefore be the 250th ship (but it will probably be some time before then).
but for britannic III i would consider her as a cunard ship. Shes different then the others. There was i think plans on painting her funnels to being the cunard colors. And possibly renaming her. But its just a theory.
Yes, but Cunard and White Star merged into Cunard White Star, before white star eventually faded away and the merger turned into simply Cunard Line. That is how White Star died.
After white star line merge. Olympic and the rest of white star line ships are now cunarders. In 1998 Carnival Corporation 68% of Cunard so basically Cunard join carnival corp. So now why some ships of cunard became cruise ships except RMS QM2 as an ocean liner and a cruise ship
Unfortunately nothing concrete on Saxonia/Leonid Sobinov. That's incredible hear, that must have sounded loud when you crossed the Equator! If I may ask, do you have footage of her whistle with sound and is it possible if I can take a look at it? If not I understand.
@@MaritimeNexus I can only remember hearing her foghorn twice. Can't remember if it was 1978 or 79 before we sailed from Adelaide and it was probably a good 30 minutes before we sailed, just 1 short blast. Talk about jump, had never heard anything so loud as a 10yo. We were standing on boat deck right under the funnel. The second time was 1979 when crossing the Equator, 1 long blast. As I wrote dad does have it on his super8 sound movie, you can definitely hear it bit haven't seen for many years as his projector is not working, we are thinking about getting it transferred onto DVD. The first crossing I was having an enjoyable day helping the forward lift girl operating the elevator. I couldn't speak Russian, she couldn't speak much English but we both had a great day. When we get the film transferred will definitely send you a copy of her foghorn. It's only recently I've seen many more photos of Leonid Sobinov than I've ever seen before. I've also sailed on the Fair Princess and have her foghorn sailing from Melbourne and have seen the Albatross, so the only sister have never seen or sailed on is the Ivernia. While I remember we were on the Leonid Sobinov only 4 days after Liliana Gasinskaya, the red bikini girl squeezed through the porthole in Sydney January 14th 1979, we were on that voyage to England and boarded January 18th. Hope this helps a little
@@petersmith5783 Thank you for sharing, those sound like wonderful experiences onboard. Cruising on those old gals must have been a pleasure and I can only imagine what it was like to be onboard.

If you still want to know your answer, it’s because they merged white star line and Cunard line into Cunard white star line and operated the olmpyic technically after the merge.
I can only count 5 ships from White Star Line that are verifiable. The rest are either fake recordings with no source or there's no recording to begin with.

I still wouldn't count olympic, Majestic, letitia as being cunard liners in this list. Reason being is that they were not build as cunard liners in the first place. Yes sure they were once operated by them but still it wouldn't make any sense at all.
I knew this would be controversial. Yes I know it’s a gray area and I’ve gone back and forth on whether to include them or not but the premise of the video is all known “Operated” “Owned” and “Chartered” ships. Operated being a loose term and Cunard operated a lot of ships that weren’t originally built (or looked) like Cunarders. As time goes on I’ll monitor the consensus of the comments on whether they should stay or not.

For a second I thought they were going to throw lusitanias whistle overboard 😭
i know
Same💀😭
Same
😂😂😂 same
although sounding cool i feel it should be, given back to rest with the rest of the ship.

It's a replica.
RMS Aquitania. A beautiful ship with a really loud whistle. It sounded almost aggressive, but it's my favourite of all the Cunard liners
I really sat here for 18 minutes watching and listening to Cunard horns.
Awesome
Almost 19 minutes
Me too mate😂

I remember being on Queen Mary when I was kid, back in 2000s, I was awe to see her beautiful and grand ship she is, I even has some items of her.
That clip of Olympic coming into New York never gets old. Love her sound.
Uhhh just to say, didnt Olympic get bout in Harland and wolf and owned my white star line? Or is it a different olympic
@Corruption_Core Towards the end of her career when Cunard/White Star merged, she was technically a part Cunarder then.

Seeing footages of ocean liners in their heyday is so magical. Such beautiful ships. 😍😍😍😍
I agree
0:41 i thought they gonna throw the whistle back in the water 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love how eerie the old white star ships sound

6:35 Finally no narrator RMS Caronia horn footage
Horns bring goosebumps and joy. Thank you for making my Sunday great.
The queen mary when she blasts her horn makes her sound like the queen of the seas.
Hah! A new video! Some of these are pretty rare, Good job 𝓑𝓤𝓝𝓖𝓤𝓢!
Queen Mary's horn just might be the boss of all ship's horns/whistles civilian or military

I live next to the port of the city i live on (Barcelona) and i am used to hear this.
The Olympic just so good reminds us of what the old days were like

Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth are ships alive
RMS Olympic and RMS Majestic were white star line, of course they were around when Cunard White Star was formed but still
7:43 *loud incorrect buzzer*
After MV Georgic... I really loved the bitonal horn of MS Queen Elizabeth.
4:31 Horn sound similar to what was used in titanic film for its whistle
but for britannic III i would consider her as a cunard ship. Shes different then the others. There was i think plans on painting her funnels to being the cunard colors. And possibly renaming her. But its just a theory.
Queen victoria has a pretty satisfying sounding horn.
10:33 Lightning GOAL!!!!
2:59 This is Kinda Look Like Aquitanias Whistle , But In Low Quality And Not That Aggressive.
I really like Lusitania
The Rms Olympic was actually owned by White Star Line, and same as the RMS Majestic/ SS Bismarck and RMS Berengaria/ SS Imperator and MV Britannic
**TURNS VOLUME UP AL THE WAY TO SEE IF I CAN SURVIVE**
@@Gomadzilla1234 rip your ears when aquitania arrives
i mean the whistle not the horn
How did a white star line ship get to Cunard hands? Aren’t they complete enemies
Didn’t read nvm
I love the queen mary horn❤
the fact Olympic was never saved is a damn shame
All ships Whistle is golden age of that era
The mauretania's whistle is always scary and beautiful at the same time
Lusitania, Mauritania, Olympic, Titanic, Britannic, Aquitania, Adriatic and Baltic had the exact same bells Smith Hyson Bells
mv Britannic is operated by the white star line
It might be because at some point in time White Star Line merged with Cunard
At 10:14 this ship sounds like a Greek ship by the name of Adamadios Korais.... They sound exactly the same!!!!!!!
wait so that whistle is QM not Lusitania??
You forgot about Carpathia, the most legendary ship
Unfortunately Carpathia’s whistle is probably fake and cannot be trusted. No video I’ve seen has a definitive source to the original sound.
The Olympic and MV Britannic are White Starline
Yes, but Cunard and White Star merged into Cunard White Star, before white star eventually faded away and the merger turned into simply Cunard Line. That is how White Star died.
I was confused why Olympic and majestic were on here until I remembered that white star and Cunard came one company
Fun fact: the queen Mary used its horn so much upon arrival at its final port, the horn stop working completely.
Yes, but with very minor repairs it was back and running within days.
QM Just Like Sound of Lusitania 4:09
Queen Elizabeth 2 has the best Cunard horn.
wait olympic is not cunard! it is white star line’s property
white star and cunard merged in 1934 with cunard being the majority shareholder.
I love Queen mary's horn.
Queen Mary
2:40 literally we all know in Roblox, Titanic and Brit. It sounds like that.
The Vista jord was in a German TV Show called Das Traumschiff i nerver knew that cunard was the owner
Uh either I’m missing something or did you forget that the Olympic is a white star line ship
You’re missing the fact that Olympic was under Cunard White Star for a year.
The Olympic horn sound was the same as Titanic Roblox
Thats because they used Olympics horn instead of titanics
After white star line merge. Olympic and the rest of white star line ships are now cunarders. In 1998 Carnival Corporation 68% of Cunard so basically Cunard join carnival corp. So now why some ships of cunard became cruise ships except RMS QM2 as an ocean liner and a cruise ship
Wait when was Lusitania's whistle recovered?
I believe it was recovered in 1982 during salvage operation.

Queen Victoria has to be top pick for me
I want to correct it, but Olympic did not belong to Cunard Line, but belonged to the "White Star Line" company
Olympic became a Cunard ship for a brief period when White Star and Cunard merged.
letitia is a cunard liner?
On 2:41 rms olympic is not an cunard ship it's the white star line ship
If you still want to know your answer, it’s because they merged white star line and Cunard line into Cunard white star line and operated the olmpyic technically after the merge.
The Olympic was not Cunard it was white star lines ship
the 1st vistafjord horn sounded like sagafjord or saga rose
Very disappointed with Queen Anne's whistle. Its like comparing the QM2 being a Rolls Royce horn and the Queen Anne being a mini
why the horn smoke
👇
The Olympic was White Star line. Not Cunard. But i enjoyed it nonetheless.
16:26 queen victoria
I enjoyed the video but why is Olympic there when Shes A white star line,I forgive ur mistakes❤🤝
