      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.

    • @DerpyPossum

      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.

      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

    *(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

      @Kaidhicksii 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @NaCl1572
      @NaCl1572 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

      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.

    • @assemblyrequired7342
      @assemblyrequired7342 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@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.
