A little on the Etymology of Amateur: From French amateur "one who loves, lover" (16c., restored from Old French ameour), from Latin amatorem "lover, friend," agent noun from amatus, past participle of amare "to love." One who has a taste for some art, study, or pursuit, but does not practice it as a profession. Your videos show you are an Amateur in the original sense. You love what you are doing and it shows.
RMS Clickbait will always be my favorite superliner, but Lusitania has always held a special place to me. As a kid I loved it's black and gray paint scheme and as an adult I love it's lopsided funnel placement and the fact that it had entirely separate section for 2nd class. There's just so much quirk and personality to it and it breaks my heart that the British blew the wreck up. Had they not done that it is at an optimal depth and location to study. Also, don't apologize for the humorous tone. It gets people to watch and learn and remember these tragedies. None of us can ask for a greater honor than to be remembered after our deaths since our lives are so fleeting.
from what i remember, the wreck wasn’t actually blown up, and the wreck’s status was technically gradual damage caused by currents and fishing. could be *completely* misremembering tho.
One thing I ´ve heard about this story , is that it is not exactly what you want to make people believe . Well , save the Queen and so and so - yet , there is this fact that - on the U.S. side of this story , there was a minister of foreign affairs that wouldn ´t hesitate to step back from his official position , right before the Lusitania incident ( if I remember this well ) . It is also said that the Royal Navy has swept this story under the carpet , as far as I know there was no access to so called " intel " , undisclosed ´til nowadays . Also , there are two famous atlantic travel routes , one was dangerous , the other one was not . Have it the way you want it , no one proud over here
Great video, and hilarious at times (RMS Clickbait). Thoroughly enjoyed it. My grandmother (my mom's mom) came to America from Germany by way of England on "Lucy" in 1909 as a 4 year old girl. Unfortunately, I never knew her---she died several years before I was born. I do have pictures of her though. (Jan Griffiths).
The analogies 😂 😂 😂 Never watched you're channel this was my first experience but you have a new sub! Man that cracked me up you're take is pure class... "Big box with windows" never have i heard the Lusitania described as a weiner dog its hillarious!
Great video mate. I got into ocean liners 20 years ago & obviously Titanic was my favourite & I hated Lusitania because I thought she was a rip-off but now as an adult I realised it’s the other way around so now I like Lucy a lot more while Titanic has gone down the list because like you said “I like looking at her”, she’s faster, managed to cross the Atlantic 101 times more than Titanic & she looks badass in black unlike Mauretania’s white paint job.
*(how DARE you call my favorite ship the Clickbait??)* I'm just imagining if Cunard were to see this video. Matter of fact I might send it to them. 😂 On a serious note here, you killed it with this one. Love Lusitania and it's incredibly sad what happened to her and the 1,198 people who died that day. I thought her carrying of munitions was just a myth: turns out a lot of British ships did it. Maybe they did play some role in the second explosion after all. Today was not wasted. Cannot wait for Tom and the crackheads' release of their digital recreation of her. That's something she's been long overdo for, and will, I believe, very beautifully continue her legacy. Two fun facts I wanna leave you with before I go. The majority of paintings you see of Lusitania on her final crossing - black funnels and gold stripe - are actually inaccurate. While the black funnels were still there, she wasn't wearing the gold stripe. Rather, her superstructure was painted completely battleship grey. See pictures of Olympic in 1915 for reference. This was the paint scheme reported by survivors after the tragedy. Number one. Number two: there's a little tourney going on over at Reddit called the Linerlympics. Lusitania will be squaring off against Queen Mary in the quarterfinals. That one could honestly be a close match, and I think you might wanna see it. :D
@@lysdamaria2344 In all fairness to Titanic, the unsinkable claim is just as much myth as it is fact. This was at a time when ship building was progressing exceptionally. It got to the point where people were thinking that ships were becoming so large and safe that they shouldn't be able to sink anymore, so it wasn't just Titanic. The White Star Line, Titanic's owners, never publicly claimed that she was unsinkable. They did advertise her safety features, which is common for shipping lines to do. Her builders, Harland & Wolff, never said she was unsinkable period. Considering they knew how much damage she could take before sinking, it'd be pretty foolish of them to say so. The unsinkable claim originated in a magazine known as the Shipbuilding Marine Engineer. It contained the words "practically unsinkable" where they were describing the watertight features of the Olympic and the Titanic. Eventually the word "practically" went completely, and so all of a sudden Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable.

Just found your channel. THANK YOU!! You made me laugh and cry and the chihuahua analogy for a HOTDAMN MAHOOSIVE ocean liner....and the subtle GTA V "I just like lookin' at it" quote. Beautiful. Truly.😍
The video is great and I really like the channel from what I've seen (maybe 3 videos). If I may though, when speaking about the bow of a ship, namely the "Forecastle." You pronounced it just shy of "Fox hull." Which is close, closer than most at least. But its pronounced realistically closer to something like "Fo'c'sul." Think the way a southern man might say "folk" and "sul" as in the beginning to the word "sullied." Cheers for the maritime history videos and I look forward to seeing more. Sub gained!
Great video, and glad you mentioned that the Lusitania was torpedoed in a very vulnerable spot. Personally I am a proponent of the theory that the explosion burst one of the main steam-lines. You should do a video about the Mauretania, as she was one of the most successful and beloved liners in Atlantic history, though of course not for a while given this one has just come out. The rich warmth of her carved wood interiors is not done justice with black-and-white photography, and in my feeling is in many ways better than the Lusitania's, though to judge from the video, I suspect you would disagree.
@@joehayes9933 It's a strong possibilty but a boiler explosion has not been discounted I believe. Coal dust is not necessarily universally accepted as the cause of the second explosion.
Fantastic video as always, such fun witty commentary yet fascinating and informative at same time! I think you would REALLY enjoy making a video on the SS Eastland some 1000 dead or what not with a totally ridiculous set of circumstances that lead to it.
Very much enjoying this video as I am currently reading Dead Wake by Erik Larson (highly recommend) so this adds to the 3D atmosphere created by Larson’s writing!
You sir just earned a new Subcriber.. Your light hearted approach is refreshing and infact kept me watching. Thus resulting in me learning more information than I knew before. So I say; from a personal view, you have nothing to apologise for and Thank you!
From September 1907 to December 1914, Lusitania made 194 crossings and carried a total of 240,959 passengers, for an average of 1,242 passengers per crossing. She was the most popular ship on the Atlantic in the years of 1908, 1909, 1911 and 1914. Her best year was 1911, when she carried 41,500 passengers over 32 crossings, averaging 1,297 passengers per crossing.
With all honesty, your channel is perhaps my favourite channel regarding ships and maritime history simply down to the humour and presentation of your content. Ocean Liner Designs is a very close second, but your channel just tops it as it presents so much great information in a unique, satirical way.
Random Dude: "Titanic" Nautical Study: "We Do Not Speak Of Her Name..." Random Dude: "What About RMS Clickbait?" Also Nautical Study: "...AMAZING IDEA!"
I agree. The captain did what he could. It's not his fault he stayed alive. If anything the fact that he was wearing a life belt most likely made others put one on too. Seeing the man in command wear a life preserver( aka life jacket), most likely gave others hope or belief that it probably can help them keep afloat and stay alive. Back then it was a fairly new invention and many passengers never seen or heard of one. Many thought it was cumbersome and uncomfortable would probably get in the way of them trying to swim. It may have also been looked at as a waste of time since there was little time before the ship sunk. That time probably would be better used for finding a relative or gather ones belongings.
There's always been a debate about the color of her funnels. Some people say it was the Cunard orange, some say it was wartime gray and some say it was all black. I personally think it's black funnels
It jas been suggested that the second explosion reported as probably a boiler bursting was nothing of the kind. Its been suggested that the coal used on the trip was not Grade 1 coal , but an inferior grade, loaded because of a fruad commited on the Company. Charging for top quality coal , but supplying cheap rubbish. This meant that the boilers burnt significantly more coal than was expected and coal holds were virtually empty. The holds became full of coal GAS and this is what caused the second Huge explosion that finished her off.
At 17:46 the narrator describes the submarine as “steaming towards her”. I just thought it amusing that a submarine would steam using a Diesel engine on the surface or batteries if submerged.
Saw a short documentary years ago about a secret cargo of munitions on board Lusitania, and that an ad was placed in a NY newspaper that warned people not to book trips on the liner. The Germans knew about the shipment, and planned to sink it. Anything to it?
Yes they took Edge out in all of the major newspapers of the times in New York saying that anyone who sailed on the Lusitania did So at their own Peril for the Lusitania was carrying Munitions in spite of it being a passenger liner and that is why they were warned that they would be sunk. Many heated that warning and lived.
“…Transporting huge quantities of people from point A to point B. Or in the Britannic’s case, from point A to the bottom of the Aegean Sea.” I’m dead 💀💀🤣🤣
Nautical Study - the channel where one struggles to take the video seriously in the face of such witty humour. Looking at the pictures of Lusitania, I see that despite my initial doubts, a ship can still look nice with giant oil drums for funnels.
In spite of the League of Nations telling them not to they might the British mind the North Sea a mine is indiscriminate as to what ship it s i n k s. Established procedure was to surface give the crew and passengers time to get off the ship when they were clear then you shelled The Vessel to save torpedoes. The British loaded some old Freighters full of balsa wood so they would still float even after being torpedoed and they would have tank guns mounted under canvas that which they would use to attack the U-boats so you both said oh well so much for being a gentleman and they just sank without notice.
Wouldbe passangers were warned in the papers of the impending danger of traveling in a military british ship carrying as it did a load of ordnance. And Winston let it happen to convince the american president to enter the war.
I believe you're correct. Just as fdr (no caps intentional) knew of the coming attack on Pearl Harbor, he let it happen, to enable his guv to enter the war.
Uh... Displacement does measure volume, but the displacement also measures weight, as the ship will weight the same amount as the displaced water. Since we can measure the amount of water displaced and we know the weight of sea water, we will also know the weight of the ship.
One could go off into the weeds and surmise they may have been told to "leave it" lucky Larry style. Carpathia had a really damn suspicious manifest. What muddies up Titanic talks on happenstance theory is the fact there is shady collusion all around this story, including passengers rounded up to "get their stories straight". We should all know the significance of the deaths that occurred when talking about this. VERY SEVERE consequences for the world.
That's quite a lot of reasons to cover, but to name a few: - The macroni wireless operator was off-duty and turned off the device for the night. - Titanic's crew forgot to bring coloured rockets which signals help, so captain Lord mistook their white rockets as fireworks or just minor errors. - Old school captains had yet to believe in the importance of wireless contact at the time, so instead Lord used morse code via light signals to contact the sinking ship, and most Titanic crews were in panic to pay attention to them. Survivors' testimonies confirmed that there had been flashes of lights from afar during the sinking, supporting this statement. - SS Californian's engines were turned off, the ship stopped to wait for icebergs to float off their route before resuming, so the engines were out cold. When the crew finally knew what happened, it took roughly five hours for them to restart it and went to the site, but of course it was too late by that time.
Funny story. The Lusitania lost so many ventilators during bad weather it kind of explains why they didn't use that design again. However, the RMS Queen Elizabeth certainly had a nice way of hiding ventilators.
Lusitania: 1 Rouge Waves: 0 Pretty sure that rouge waves have been responsible for the disappearance of many an ocean liner back in the day. In fact, a cruise ship off the coast of Antarctica was hit by one rather recently. Too bad torpedoes were super effective.
Yeah they had to refit all the Dreadnoughts with underwater torpedo belts after a few unfortunate and extremely expensive incidents. Lucy of course had no such thing. Still it was a bad spot. Hits in other places likely wouldn't have sunk her or not as fast. So a torpedo doesn't guarantee that a liner sinks. Even the U-Boat captain was surprised that it only took one. He figured he would damage her and then she's out of action and needs expensive repairs. When she was gone 18 minutes later the celebration among the boats crew somewhat died down with some sailors becoming pretty quiet. It was pretty obvious that they had overstepped.
@@221b-l3t You have a penchant for understatement. I'm pretty sure that following the manner in which she sunk, the crew of the U-Boat knew that they fucked up, as killing thousands of civilians definitely is, most of whom probably weren't even aware that there were firearms being smuggled aboard. And drowning ain't a quick or pleasant way to go either.
That moment when you realize Lusitania sank in less time than the length of this video.
Trying to listen to his speed talking I forgot it was meant to be a disaster video.
She sank in 18 minutes
Ha, the beauty of Germany torpedoes craftsmanship!
@@jd5787 it was probably because of the second explosion which was probably coal dust
@@mesothelioma5024 That’s definitely why she sank so fast

@Derpy Possum I know the Britannic has been damaged by fishing lines and such but the British definitely dropped charges on Lusitania.
Personally i love the way the funnels are placed. Something about it makes the ship look faster/sleeker
And it also makes it look so long
My thoughts
It's faster cuz of the racing stripes on the funnels
They were designed for that purpose

Thats good👍 same
I love this channel
I've gotta be honest your voice is so much like Matpats, And i like it!
Such a beautiful looking ship as they were then unlike the blocks of flats on water we have now.
"I like looking at it."
Kifflom, brother-brother.
Lusitania my beloved 😍
You did an excellent video. I learned a lot and to me that's the point AND I enjoyed it.
well worth the wait
I have a request, can you do a video about the ss sultana? Also the rms aquitania?
J. P. Morgan and huge douche bag, *spits water, laughs hysterically* someone finally called it!!! 💜 You dude!!
RMS CLICKBAIT 😂😂😂😂
We'll call all Olympic class ocean liners RMS clickbait
Rms olympic clckbait😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i screamed 😂😂😂
Ah yes my fav ship *RMS CLICKBAIT*
Any boat youtuber that puts Rms Titanic on their thumbnail would automaticly get the high views
“…Transporting huge quantities of people from point A to point B. Or in the Britannic’s case, from point A to the bottom of the Aegean Sea.”
I’m dead 💀💀🤣🤣

Epic, another well edited video
Nautical Study - the channel where one struggles to take the video seriously in the face of such witty humour.
Looking at the pictures of Lusitania, I see that despite my initial doubts, a ship can still look nice with giant oil drums for funnels.
Not even 27 knots could save her :(
This episode of Willy Will Not Hesitate
In spite of the League of Nations telling them not to they might the British mind the North Sea a mine is indiscriminate as to what ship it s i n k s. Established procedure was to surface give the crew and passengers time to get off the ship when they were clear then you shelled The Vessel to save torpedoes. The British loaded some old Freighters full of balsa wood so they would still float even after being torpedoed and they would have tank guns mounted under canvas that which they would use to attack the U-boats so you both said oh well so much for being a gentleman and they just sank without notice.
Can you do some of the great lakes sinking like Edmond Fitzgerald
Wouldbe passangers were warned in the papers of the impending danger of traveling in a military british ship carrying as it did a load of ordnance. And Winston let it happen to convince the american president to enter the war.
I believe you're correct. Just as fdr (no caps intentional) knew of the coming attack on Pearl Harbor, he let it happen, to enable his guv to enter the war.
Honestly the Lusitania disaster wouldn't even happen had Turner went by the book instead of sailing in a predictable course.
Winston?? You mean Asquith?
I love your commentary
Uh... Displacement does measure volume, but the displacement also measures weight, as the ship will weight the same amount as the displaced water. Since we can measure the amount of water displaced and we know the weight of sea water, we will also know the weight of the ship.
Make a vid about the Normandie or the 4 funneled ss france?
Anyone into reading about her should check out "Dead Wake" by Erik Larson.
I mentioned it at the end of the video. I hope you liked it too!
@@NauticalStudy Right, which I totally heared and didn't skip over. Love your videos!
2:51 could someone tell me how exactly was the pythagorean theorem used for the launch? I need this for an essay, thanks 😊
I was just reading about this incident!
I mean...they did make it very clear that they would sink ships carrying munitions...
7:09 something else “popped” too XD
I thought that was just my headphones lmao
Nautical Study I would love for you to do the Queen Elizabeth and her fascinating story.
12:50 Yes lmao, this had me laughing for so long
Me to
Can you make a video on the SS Californian? I’m curious why it didn’t help the titanic when it was the closest ship around at that time.
One could go off into the weeds and surmise they may have been told to "leave it" lucky Larry style. Carpathia had a really damn suspicious manifest. What muddies up Titanic talks on happenstance theory is the fact there is shady collusion all around this story, including passengers rounded up to "get their stories straight". We should all know the significance of the deaths that occurred when talking about this. VERY SEVERE consequences for the world.
Yeah, White Star's top rival had to go in and rescue them. But it all worked out in the end, they had a merger later on 😊
They had their Marconi wireless off
That's quite a lot of reasons to cover, but to name a few:
- The macroni wireless operator was off-duty and turned off the device for the night.
- Titanic's crew forgot to bring coloured rockets which signals help, so captain Lord mistook their white rockets as fireworks or just minor errors.
- Old school captains had yet to believe in the importance of wireless contact at the time, so instead Lord used morse code via light signals to contact the sinking ship, and most Titanic crews were in panic to pay attention to them. Survivors' testimonies confirmed that there had been flashes of lights from afar during the sinking, supporting this statement.
- SS Californian's engines were turned off, the ship stopped to wait for icebergs to float off their route before resuming, so the engines were out cold. When the crew finally knew what happened, it took roughly five hours for them to restart it and went to the site, but of course it was too late by that time.
Request:RMS Mauretania:The Legend Maury
do a video on the SS arctic, a steamer that sank with all of its women and children, only 88 out of 400 survived, this sinking is little known
rms clickbait is my favorite transgalactic space liner
Hell yeah, tom is the man!
Funny story. The Lusitania lost so many ventilators during bad weather it kind of explains why they didn't use that design again. However, the RMS Queen Elizabeth certainly had a nice way of hiding ventilators.
"You like all these dog analogies?"
Me under my breath: *no*
Lusitania: 1
Rouge Waves: 0
Pretty sure that rouge waves have been responsible for the disappearance of many an ocean liner back in the day. In fact, a cruise ship off the coast of Antarctica was hit by one rather recently.
Too bad torpedoes were super effective.
Yeah they had to refit all the Dreadnoughts with underwater torpedo belts after a few unfortunate and extremely expensive incidents. Lucy of course had no such thing. Still it was a bad spot. Hits in other places likely wouldn't have sunk her or not as fast. So a torpedo doesn't guarantee that a liner sinks. Even the U-Boat captain was surprised that it only took one. He figured he would damage her and then she's out of action and needs expensive repairs. When she was gone 18 minutes later the celebration among the boats crew somewhat died down with some sailors becoming pretty quiet. It was pretty obvious that they had overstepped.
@@221b-l3t You have a penchant for understatement. I'm pretty sure that following the manner in which she sunk, the crew of the U-Boat knew that they fucked up, as killing thousands of civilians definitely is, most of whom probably weren't even aware that there were firearms being smuggled aboard. And drowning ain't a quick or pleasant way to go either.
