Honestly, early 1900s styling needs to make a return.
The 1900’s style feels like a floating mansion rather than todays style which looks more like floating hotel
I think people would think that 1900s Victorian and Edwardian architecture is too over the top. O think we should keep the wood paneling and intricate designs but less overkill so it doesn't overwhelm passengers. Lie a mixture of Art Deco and Victorian.
@Pink Girl By over-the-top, I mean not everyone will like it. Some people might think it's gaudy or that it looks weird. Some people like modern architecture better than past architecture. I said in another comment we can keep the wood and the detailed designs, just tone it down a bit so it's not so In-Your-Face.
it's the Olympic down there. not the Titanic
@@justthink5854 Switch theorists aren't allowed here. Sorry not sorry.
Cannot believe she got scrapped,she should be in a museum or something to be well preserved.
Champions League69 White Star Line needed money, they couldn’t afford to turn Olympic into a museum.
There was an offer from I think it was a French company, but could've been a person, who proposed to buy the ship and turn it in to a hotel. However because of the Great Depression, the plans fell through.
It should have been permanently docked, damn 1930s
Champions League69 At least we still have a White star line ship! Ss Nomadic
@@fckgooogle1000x I can't tell if your dissing the Great Depression or the mindset people had back then.
The original grand stair case with natural varnished wood was to die for.
Was it natural varnished wood, or was it wood painted and grained, as was the usual practice at the time?
@@postscript67 I doubt they would've skimped on the staircase. Maybe a few panels here and there but generally all solid timber, hardwoods, french polishing to die for and the lustre would've been amazing! Then they blathered the whole lot in nato green paint 😂
@@postscript67 It was oak paneling. Evidence suggests varnish was not applied the panels until around 1920, which was removed around 1929, likely in preparation for the green stain that would be applied to the panels a few years later.
That green belonged inside a baby diaper.
"to die for" I'm not sure I'd have put it quite like that. lol.
I never did understand the whole green paint thing, honestly looks hideous. She was far more beautiful before they painted everything green
It was painted green to match the 30's style. They also had to add things to serve the passengers, that included the dance floor in the 1st class Dining Saloon.
I agree with you
@@ge31s That is Olympics' B deck Promenade, you can tell by the railing there. On Titanic, a wall would replace that railing, and beyond that wall would be cabins & other indoor spaces. White Star Line saw that no one really used the B deck promenade, so they decided to get rid of the first class section and turn into useful spaces.
@@nickoli0101 oh
Maby it looked somewhat better in real life. Hope Titanic honnor and glory do another game like their new Britannic game but with Olympic. Sounds a lot larger of a project than the Britannic game as Olympic went through more states as she had a longer career.
I love the design of Grand Staircase in 1911 than in 1934, I don’t like the staircase green design honestly!
Yeah I didnt like it when they made it green either
RMS Oympic Maybe they did the green design of the Grand Staircase in 1934 because that time, many modernized passenger ships started to announced, introduced to unveil to the public for their launching such as SS Normandie, RMS Queen Mary, and RMS Queen Elizabeth were either old fashioned Olympic and maybe a little lost in numbers of passengers so they just painted it cheaper looks.
They could have painted it like yellow and blue though i would have liked it if it was yellow and blue
Honestly it was fine in 1911
But it looks great and vintage besides it cant just copy Titanic
Welp i just realized this was made in roblox
Weird isn't it?
Wait what
@@tronus8586 yep. This is in roblox. I played this map and i can confirm

I knew the Grand Staircase was painted in green in the later years of her life but switching from a larger promenade to Cafe Parisien is a complete surprise to me
It was added shortly after Titanic sank.
jason ligo Yeah, many safety improvements, a new Reception Room for the A la Carte Restaurant, an enlargement of the A la Carte Restaurant, and a new Cafe Parisian design separate from Titanic’s design was added in 1913, and probably other updates too. Her appearance in the 30s was changed to be more Art Deco, not really much else I think.
@@carlosiiideespana3712 There was also complains from passengers that the windows of the A la crate restaurant gave onto the second class promenade. So the addition also added more "privacy" and better views.
SiriusXAim Interesting
The reason is that white star line saw that most passengers just used the A Deck promenade, and the one B Deck was unused so they divided it off into rooms including the cafe.
0:36 through all the years the flower stays the same
I like the grand staircase the way it was in 1911 and not in 1934 and some parts are good improvements in 1934.
Some corrections:
0:01 Olympic's original wheelhouse should have seven windows, not five.
0:16 The green I used here is much darker than it would have actually been. The wrought iron balustrades should also be green, not black.
1:06 By this point, the paneling to the dining saloon was painted pale pink and blue.
1:31 The barrier separating the promenade should be a set of bostwick/collapsible gates, not a set of rails.
1:37 There should be a bar at the forward end of the room as well as a load of plants throughout the room.
1:47 Same corrections as with 0:16
1:51 There should be a window to the left of the door looking into the barber shop (as well as a little red and white barber shop pole).
2:11 and 2:16 The hatches below the lids should be painted black.
There’s Also Another Mistake, 0:01 And 0:05 The Outline For The Bright Yellow Thing Should Be A Redish Orangish Color Also Known As Dark Mist

why use roblox
because just because its supposed to be a blocky lego game creators can make great things like this olympic model
Yes really.
One of the most noticeable changes for me didn't appear in the video, which was the painting of the hull, lowering the golden line in the post war. I thought it looked classy.
I think it's because Cunard acquired the Olympic sometime after the war. And the gold line was lowered to match somewhat with their other Cunard ships as well. You see it on Lusitania as well where the gold stripe on the hull has some significant separation from the white superstructure.
@@kyleenglot9184 cunard and white star combined in 1934 a long time after the war
Majestic's gold line was low too, looks great
Britannic’s was supposed to, before it was moved for war service. they tried to make titanic different by doing that, if she didn’t get scrapped they probably would have changed it somewhere in the 1920’s.
Never knew Olympic was given a walk way that connects B Deck with the Poop Deck. Makes practical sense. A Crew man wouldn't need to walk down then up through the aft well deck to reach the Crane machinery or Docking Bridge on the other side.
I very definitely liked the 1911 version much, much better! I can't imagine how much hard work went into this video. Thank you so much for making this and sharing this with us all!
This is great, and the re-fit is so often overlooked. Thanks very much!
Whoever remodeled the ship was certainly a fan of green.
I'm digging the musical choice you made for this video. The changes over the years were so drastic, and in almost every instance I liked the 1911 version much better than the latter. The last comparison of the turkish bath didn't appear to be any different however. Great video overall!
Everyone can lament the scrapping of the Olympic, but one needs to take into account the context of the time. It was 1935, and the world was still slowly trying to claw its way out of the Great Depression. Scrapping of these old liners brought much needed work to towns where most people had been without it for years. Preservation was also still in its infancy. Not many people at the time had the mind for saving old pieces of machinery for future generations to appreciate. It’s a miracle we still have the Queen Mary!
Olympic and others built in the early 20th century were by the 1930s quite outdated and expensive to operate compared to newer vessels. White Star Line was also in very bad shape financially. Upon merging with Cunard, the new company could not justify keeping the old behemoths like Olympic and Mauritania in service. Their operating costs were just too great, especially during the depression.
The 1911 design is far better and looks classy and well done. Idk what they were doing in 1934 but that wasn’t it
She was part of Cunard at the time so Cunard was trying stuff out for the RMS Queen mary
The 1911 one was nicer and the 1934 one was safer.
@@0ld_Gent luxury > safety
@@chrysler238 The Olympic had been refitted and returned to service in March 1933, a year before the merger occurred in May 1934 so it had nothing to do with Cunard. White Star was trying to update Olympic to make it more appealing to modern travelers and because passenger traffic was declining during the Depression.
Very interesting comparison, great work on this video.
I didn't like the modifications to the grand staircase but I can understand why they were necessary
After 23 years of wood work was probably getting a little discolored and they had to paint it
it was repainted in an attempt to gain popularity, since green was seen as a modern colour in the 30s.
I get the changes during her late years were an attempt to keep in line with the newer ships it was competing against, but they really should've left some stuff alone like the Grand Staircase.
The Olympic was a victim of the Great Depression, in the year 1934, after the merger with Cunard, the company was trying to decide which of the older ships would work best with the forth coming Queen Mary. In the year 1934, the Olympic racked up a total loss of nearly 15,000 British pounds, despite the major overhaul she'd had a few years earlier. This was the greatest loss among the companies Atlantic Express liners, the Mauretania being a full time cruise ship during that year. I think it was this sad record for 1934, coupled with her 22 knots speed that sealed her fate. The slower speed made her the most economical of the company's Express ships, but they also knew that at least three of those ships were going to have to go. Looking back, we can see now that they should have kept Aquitania, Majestic, and Olympic. When the Queen Mary entered service, Majestic or Olympic could have been kept in reserve, for emergency use.
@Inanna 🗝️ Inanna 🕯️ Hiedra Sumeria They were not looking for innovation, they needed a money earner, and Aquitania was the best money spinner the company owned at the time. The depression was a hard time for almost every business.
I prefer the Olympic in the late 20s and early 30s
Great to see this!
your roblox model looks really nice and high detail, i could imagine how much work you put into this. good job!

Incredible job. Roblox studio is a gigantic pain in the shit to use. Good choice as well, April showers. Proleter is great.
Nice vid !
I like olympics ship design with green at the year 1934.
I remember when you used to build versions of Titanic on this server in AW back in 2012. I'm Matthew V., you probably remember me
I love all of the changes, especially the Cafe Parisien and the 3rd Class Smoking Room upgrade, but I agree with others on the art-deco green in the Grand Staircases. That must have been beautiful at the time but just hasn't aged well.
+Karl Vuleta To be fair, I don't think I did a great job at depicting the green staircase when I uploaded this video. The green is too dark and there's lots of missing detail which would've added a lot to the aesthetic. I've since uploaded a more recent comparison, which provides a more accurate interpretation of the staircase as it appeared in 1934 th-cam.com/video/EZKx8TpDUag/w-d-xo.html
@@TechnologicallyTechnical I know it's not usually depicted well which adds to the hate. I think the best version I've seen is by Gio Castro on Facebook. It actually doesn't look that bad, but it still just doesn't look as good as the original staircase based today's tastes in design.
@@karlvuleta I agree, Gio has probably the best renders that depict the staircase in its green form
Yet another victim of the Great Depression. How amazing would it be to walk her decks today. At least we still have the Queen Mary, the Nomadic, and some of the Olympic's original wood panels.
After Titanic sank, they added more lifeboats to Olympic
Also lusitania I think
Thank You!
WONDERFUL DECOR AND ARTISTRY. I WONDER HOW MUCH WAS SALVAGED FROM THIS
Several of her fittings were salvaged when she was scrapped. The White Swan Hotel has her First Class Lounge and Aft Grand Stair Case. Various windows, wall panels, and furniture was scattered to the winds by various buyers. Another hotel has furniture and panels from one of the Staterooms. Celebrity Cruises "Millenium" has original wood paneling for an onboard restaurant with a Titanic/Olympic theme. The clock from the main Grand Staircase is in a museum in Southampton
Amazing!
The green paint on the grand staircase was a sin. The rest works in their eras. Putting the tables and chairs in the third class general room looks good.
that room was actually the 3rd class smoking room.
Very nice!!!
Olympic 1911 more royal.
Olympic 1934 more modern
Halifax should’ve bought Olympic and used her like the Original Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth 2 are now, Museum ships, Olympic would’ve made a great Titanic, WW1, and Nautical History Museum, Considering she was both the Titanic’s Older and sole surviving sister-ship, and she served in WW1 as a troop ship taking troops from Halifax to Britain.
It was the Titanic !The Olympic sank in 1912 !
@@jimmyminter4857 that theory is nothing but a disproven lie.
seriously, you sound clinically insane.
That last room didn't change at all!
Love the music!!!
Even after the green change for bunch of parts of the ships it looks good
I was beautiful in 1911 but I was beautiful and advanced in 1934
They made it green because in the 30s people forget the Olympic during in the Nantucket collision 158 people were Thats why green to get more people
Really like the rounded bridge
I absolutely love this music!
I don't notice any change in the Turkish bath, other than that, I love both designs. And I'm surprised to see how well it turned out in roblox
I couldn’t help thinking the whole time that that song is the old Mumbo Jumbo intro
Ngl not sure about what they did at the bottom of the aft grand staircase
Not completely sure, but the two rooms on C-Deck Aft GSC were the barber shop and the hairdresser's salon I think.
The barber shoppe on the port side and ladies' hairdresser to the starboard.
Ah OK, thanks, doesn't look to good tho
Yuri Ships Yeah, well, it was one of the things they did to make Olympic more Art Deco.
If this was real life, you could see through the glass and it would look more like the inside of a shopping mall.
Hey Matt, maybe you have 1934 Olympic version deck plans? Thanks.
Great video, but soon, I just can't get into the green for the Grand Staircase. The original wood panelling was much nicer and much more tasteful.
This is my favorite song :)
What I’ve noticed in these comparison videos is that White Star Line have obviously tried turning Olympic into a more Titanic like ship, since there was obviously no Titanic
I like 1934 version’s amenities. Like movie screen or larger restaurants etc etc. The only thing the 1911 version has better. The green grand staircase is not the green in the video of in games. Its more of a turquoise green, which is beautiful. Thats why i like 1934 version
I've never been so attached to the Olympic before as I am now. Mostly because I have a piece of her in my room.
even with the green disgust paint most things are still buetiful
How did you make this video. Did you screen record or take screenshots?
that's pretty damn impressive for roblox
did you make the model yourself?
+Translunary Thanks! And yes, I did.
Did you use grime green color for the staircase?
I know it’s controversial but I kinda like the green paint, I think it gives her a really different feel that just sorta works for me. Don’t get me wrong she was stunning before however I think that her 1930’s aesthetic changes were Olympic doing what she did best, adapting and persevering.
I'd usually make fun of people, including myself, for playing roblox
But this guy went and made the fuckin' olympic.
Why?
Who else likes the green more?
just you
Me
Me
Me!
0:51 I like the 1911 first class entrance. It looks more detailed that Titanic and Britannic
song is awesome!
@Decade Authority its in the description
How to ruin one of the best stair cases ever.....
Very cool comparison. Like many, I dislike the colour choices in the revamp, but the rebuilt areas do seem like good renovations. I can't tell what's changed in the Turkish baths at the end though? Before that, are those cargo hatches that were extended? Thanks!
+terrier55Stepney that was kind of the joke, nothing with the turkish bath changed in the ship's 24 years. And yes, those were cargo hatches.
WHAT THE Terrier55Stepney i didn't know you were an ocean liner fan
@@FreedomLovingLoyalistOfficial You've caught me.
@@Terrier55Stepney LOL welcome to the ocean liner community even though you were a Tugs fan
Terrier55Stepney funny seeing you here
I like the 1911 more
The 1930s were beautiful! with the green tone it made a beautiful difference From the 1920s or 1910s,I thought it was perfect! In my opinion, the styles of luxury liners are much better than at present, I should go back, as a dreamer of building ships in the future, I will continue thinking In having the luxury Of the 1900s In my luxury Transatlantics!
I like the 1934
Me too
Maybe the reason why the passengers went to different ships I because of the greeen starcase
No, Olympic was having low passenger numbers because in the 30s new and more modern ships starting appearing
The SS Normandie was coming out and Italian ships like the Rex where more modern and art deco
I think that the green thing is ridiculous, and should have been painted white or like modernized white with gold. But i do also think that it looks a bit better, because the green style was pretty popular, and it looked better. The only thing that they should have changed was the carpet to blue, not paint the grand staircase green
The floor to the Grand Staircase wasn't carpeted, it had linoleum tiles.
They sure liked green in the 30s
@Casey Gabriel apparently. Looks like my great aunts house. Waaaaay too much green.
I think that in the 30s the furniture around the staircase would not have remained blue. It does not match well with the green paint. I saw a rendering someone did and the furniture had a lighter beige color with a floral design.
Am I the only one asking what the name of the song is?
Very nice! But I hate th green color of the Grand Staircase, makes me sick
It doesn’t even look that bad, tho.
Excellent video, 1:55 what was the specific function of that glass room?
+urlocallordandsavior It was a newly designed entrance for the barber shop
@@TechnologicallyTechnical Did the Olympic always had a barber shop, and did it go beyond that wall (or else it would just have been a small little room)?
@@Urlocallordandsavior Olympic always had a barber shop there, originally 12 feet by 15, and in 1929 the barber shop was given a bumped out entrance that you see in the video.
Never understood why they replaced the original wheelhouse
God the staircase as green is painful to look at
Het had to update her to keep up with Britannic 3 and Georgic.
Honestly they made a downgrade in design it looks so much better in 1911
Olympics bridge and wheelhouse casing design never changed
+Belfast Bus fan Her wheelhouse casing was changed during her 1913 refit. There's plenty of photographic evidence for this.
Soooo incredifake!
well yeah, the real one was scrapped in 1935
0:21 all those extra life boats made the deck look cluttered. Ruined the ocean view too. They should have gotten rid of them. What’s the worst that could happen?
Uuuh I don’t know, maybe an iceberg?
Just move them downstairs
Waste of deck space as it is on an unsinkable ship!
Remember she wasn't a cruise ship to do luxurious activities on while appreciating the seaview. She was just a luxurious ocean liner
Everything
What was that small space walled off on the one grand staircase?
i assume you’re referring to the wood-paneled space at 0:41, which is the elevator foyer.
if you’re referring to 1:56, that’s the extended/modernized barbershop (on the left side of the stairs) and the ladies’ hair salon (on the right side of the stairs).
I like the roblox animation 😋👏🏻
I just realised you made it at Roblox
nice use of The simulation games in roblox
can u tell me the song on this video
Man. Seeing the 1934 (I assume it is 1933) renovation it seems like they did EVERYTHING they could think of at the White Star Line company to make the Olympic stand out again between the fresh new modern ocean liners of the 1930's. Too bad that the fate for Olympic was definitely set in 1934..
0:20 the only change they made on the boat deck just cracks me up for some reason....
really makes you think...
@@DerpyPossum not really

Have you considered creating a 1913 Olympic simulation?
no
It would be the same as the 1911 Simulation
@@modmojo33 1913 Olympic was actually quite different from 1911 Olympic. Olympic in 1913 was more like a hybrid between Titanic and 1911 Olympic, but with more lifeboats. In fact, Olympic started receiving structural changes as early as late 1911.
he already made 1913

and 1920

I thought I heard it was actually the Olympic that hit the Iceberg and sunk. Maybe the 1934 pictures are of the actual Titanic.
+Internet Privacy Advocate That's false, Titanic struck the iceberg and sank, not Olympic.
although we all wish that was true... Titanic DID hit the iceberg and DID sink... cuz otherwise somebody would be bound to notice that that the Olympic had just become 1 ft longer and that the A deck promanarde had just gone from open to enclosed... photos of Olympic from 1913 and onwards show the A deck promamarde being open until 1934 (as far as this video shows) so there would be no way that Titanic was secretly acting as Olympic... so sorry to break it to ya... it would've been nice to have Titanic secretly acting as Olympic tho...
@Casey Gabriel you are very much correct, i simply added to your reply to the switch theory comment
@@aninkytheorist1133 Titanic wasn’t 1 foot longer than Olympic she was only 5 inches longer
The green indicates for christmas
1911: Beautiful
1934: *anxiety attack*
Can you explane how they removed all the paint from the stairway? It's in use still today in the hotel "the swan" and totaly brown xD
From what I understand, they just repainted the paneling at the White Swan brown, however I believe there are ways to remove green staining from the paneling, though I'm not 100% sure
@@TechnologicallyTechnical - I was under the impression the panelling had been restored to its original wood varnish finish. It certainly looked that way to me when I stayed there in Alnwick a few years back. It looked magnificent. I always wondered if the green finish was a stain (which would have required removal of the original varnish) or simply painted over green emulsion paint. I suspect the later as by 1934 Cunard were pretty skint. Getting the green emulsion paint off would have been far easier.
markrl75 It's funny you should mention varnish, as it was recently discovered that Olympic's grand staircase had varnish applied, but only for a brief period (1920-1928). The green staining was added in 1933, so that works out. But yes, from what I've heard, the White Swan just painted over the green. Didn't realize staining was so difficult to undo, but that makes sense as most of the surviving paneling is still green to this today (albeit, the green's a bit faded nowadays)
thats so cool!
