- For this segment I have chosen one of the worst cabins aboard the Classic Cruise Ship the Aurora. Garbage and debris has plagued this room for nearly 30 years. This video is the start of a complete rebuilt on a B Deck cabin. Will it turn out amazing? Stick around to find out.

The Aurora project is epic , TH-cam is full of people redoing boats but you're the only restoring cruise ship . As an old salt i only wish i lived closer so i could grab a paint brush or hammer and give you a hand . She has good bones and will sail again .
Thanks, It’s been an adventure to say the least. Glad to have positive like minded people like yourself watching. Means a lot.
There are only four You Tube boat builds worth watching. Tally Ho, Ship Happens, Brupeg and Aurora.
It is a ship. Boats are small life boat size

LOL
To take on a restoration of this scale and film it for the world to see is a doubly awesome thing, all the time that everyone puts in and your dedication to authenticity is truly admirable and for however many years it takes I will watch avidly.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I’m sure it’s definitely gonna take some years but will be a fun adventure along the way. I will film the whole thing and hopefully move this project a little faster with the world watching.
I'm so pleased to see how you're approaching this restoration, this ship deserves the very best! That bathroom will be an interesting one to see and I'm sure you'll do it right.
Fingers crossed!
We have a 34 foot diesel trawler docked at Moore’s, on the Mokelumne river for the last 3 years. When wen first cruised up the San Joaquin river towards Stockton, the sight of the Aurora made me make a double take.
Since then, any visitor to our boat gets a tour of the Fir, the Mazepeta and, of course, the lovely Aurora.
I am so impressed with your optimism and your always positive attitude.
One day when I retire, I hope to be able to lend a hand. Meantime, I’ll wave as we slowly motor by on Grace J.
Thank you for keeping us updated Chris!
Great work Chris. Be great to see cabins done and see volunteers stay onboard while they help you.
We have a few cabins for that purpose for the volunteers who travel to get here.
I had a strange moment there when seeing the overhead light fixture in the cabin. It came out of the kitchen in my house, built in '59, and remained there until my wife had me replace it with something that looks nicer back in 2006. Somehow, it made it's way from my garbage can to your ship! I wondered what happened to my stuff that my wife likes to throw away!
i'm amazed every time i see you working on this ship ,, most people would be overwhelmed seeing the scope of this project but you are looking at it not as one big project but as a series of small projects ,, 1 room at a time ,, i can't wait to see what this cabin turns into when it's finished ,, please keep up the good work
Finally a new video! Will the furniture arrangement be based on deck plans in her original forms? And also how will you keep cabins in a consistent design? You for sure need a lot of the same stuff for having at least a couple of cabins not looking completely different.
That closet and the doors in the cabin are very original looking actually. They might even be original Wappen von Hamburg! A interesting thing is that next to the closet on the wall there actually was often a Sofa which could also function as bed. Atleast that was the case on many other ships of that era and even before.
Looking forward further videos on the restoration of that cabin and of course other areas :D
I plan on keeping only several schemes for the B-Deck cabins to keep things so they match. The Wappen Von Hamburg didn’t have many Cabins as it was designed as a ferry. It wasn’t until 1960 she was refitted as a cruise ship with 130 cabins. We would like to keep them as close to that look as possible. This can had two single beds. I may place a bit larger of a bed and desk in place instead of two beds. Seems to make more sense now. Bathroom will be tricky but there are still many mid century style fixtures available. I will avoid the cheapo materials and try to step up the quality a bit.
The Gold Standard of ships of old eh!😅
Be great to have a FRIENDS OF AUORA group of volunteers that could help with projects. Love to see the progress!!
We have a Facebook group with the same name. Perhaps you should check it out.
@@AuroraRestorationProject Thank you, I just did!
Great level of care being taken 🤘.
Please don't let your background music overpower your commentary e.g. 10:25.
I noticed that after publishing. Thanks for the heads up.
I noticed that after publishing. Thanks for the heads up.
I love the use of solar panels tbh. There's easy room for them on the ship's deck and it's a good fit for supplying all the tools with energy.
Totally agree! The power stations are priceless on a giant off grid project.
I love this channel! I found it about a year ago and always await the videos!
TH-cam has stopped showing me you video so I need to play catch-up. Love your channel... The time I not seen it you done a lot. Looks like a great place to a guy like me
I am thrilled to see a new video! I know that making vlogs is almost as much work as the restoration. Please keep posting
Your absolutely right. Takes just as much time to create the video. If I ever get to a point where we can hire a team to film and edit then this will get much more interesting..
Hello, I've just seen the video where the Aurora is sinking. I was shocked.
But the video's I see right now, shows that she is affloat? Can you reply at this question?
Thanks a lot. Lots of greetings from the Nerherlands. Groeten, Frans
Yall are finally back! Restoration looks great 👍
Yes we are and thanks for sticking around.
She is coming right along and she is looking fabulous!!! 😊👍
Thanks, It’s been a long road to get this far. Still a long way to go.
Great this ship is being saved 😊 👏🏻🏴
Thanks :)
Thanks :)
WOW that light fixture is the same one we have in our kitchen circa 1941!
Doesn’t really fit the scene of the ship unfortunately. Definitely great for an old house.
@@AuroraRestorationProject It sure is!
Missed you guys, glad you are still working on her!
Never stopped, Just got busy and had to step away from TH-cam for a bit. I’m back for the long haul now. Time to make some changes on this ship..
It is wonderfull to see the Aurora starting to shine again 🙂 thx for the video
Glad you enjoyed it, More coming very soon.
Well done Chris keep going, hope those electric bits come in handy, cheers from Canada Vivien and Alistair, U.K. camper.
Thanks 👍
And what I took away from this is "holy diver, you still have land fills"!? I hope all garabage is inspected before being dumped. I thought land fills were discontinued in the 90s.
Im more amazed what they throw into that - electrical thingies, metal (why they dont take it to scrapyard?!?), plastics, wood... even here, in post-commie country youre not allowed to throw most of those things into landfills, especially all kind of elecrical devices.
I am back from holidays to enjoy the videos.
Welcome back!
Awesome
Thanks
Or what Matt did on Abandon Resort.
He bought a Texas pride trailer dumpster.😊
Welcome back! Missed ya!
Thank you…
Can’t wait to watch the restoration…. I love the one room showers.
This will be a fun bathroom to restore.
Looking forward to the refurb.
Me too…. Working on it now actually. Lots to figure out.
Love following along. Hope to see it in person one day
Thanks for fallowing out crazy channel. We always around and looking for capable hard working volunteers:). Or anyone who just want to stop by and say hi.
Very cool project! Remember that scrap metal is 100% recyclable. Scrappers will pick it up for free
We generally give our scrap to people who recycle.
Chris i am following the restoration from logan city queensland it is great to see how it is progressingit is going to look great😮
Looks like AllPower has a Black Friday special going on for the S2000
Good Bye Aurora, you will be missed.
Always enjoy Restoration of Old Iron of all types back to Original!!! FYI..... I'm also a mid-century masterpiece badly in need of restoration! 😐
You and me both!
I've been following your channel for some time now as best I could but TH-cam is failing in sending me notifications of new uploads ! Can't wait to see the cabin finished.
I can’t wait to see this cabin finished either. From the looks of it the real work is about to begin. Hope you can fallow. Thanks
You don't post often enough. We need to see more and you need to make more $. 😊
Will be posting more often now. Had a busy couple of months and TH-cam unfortunately wasn’t the priority.
@AuroraRestorationProject Understood. Life often gets in the way. Just glad to see you back. Awesome project!
I live in Lodi and I've been following you for a year or two and I would love to see the inside of the boat in person. I've driven past it a couple of times though.
Fantastic and exciting times.
Indeed!
You’re living my dream! Ships are my passion lol
Maybe in time you will have cruises and stay aboards and I will definitely at that point make reservations.😊👍
That would be a dream come true.
This is inspiring me to get a boat to try and save. Detention not this big like a 60ft boat
Sorry to her about her sinking! I hope you're able to pump out the water and get her refloated!
Love this ship Chris !!! Keep up the great work !!!
Thanks a bunch!
Keep the content coming, love it !!!
Thanks
Was waiting for the remodeling of the cabins and other places
I’m working on this same cabin for the next weeks until it’s finished. Should make for some great videos.
Seems to me that the #1 priority is going to be finding the source of all water leaks. Any restoration is going to be destroyed if moisture can still get in.
Absolutely, Watch the past videos for repairing leaks in the decks.
Amazing! Could you lower the music a bit though? I’m loving every detail about this restoration but with the music so loud I’m missing a lot of the voiceovers.
Absolutely, Turns out that Audio is the most difficult thing to edit in these videos. The way I hear it while editing doesn’t always sound the same to others. Will work on it.
Hopefully see the rest of this renovation soon
Absolutely
Saw an old episode if The Love Boat. They had four foot florescent tube fixtures.
Fluorescent tubes were the big thing in the 1980s. Just not very efficient these days.
Great to see you back ! How many cabins are there on board ?
85 total
@@AuroraRestorationProject that’s a lot of resto !
A torch works extremely well for getting rid of large quantities of cobwebs quickly. They are very flammable, but don't burn the surrounding area as long as you are careful.
The shower taps no longer meet the plumbing code. They likely do not have a safety mixing valve so that someone does not get scolded if the cold water pressure drops.
I’m sure it’s safe to say that much of this ship likely doesn’t meet modern standards.
I cannot imagine undertaking a project so large!
The old saying. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time..
You should get several dumpsters.
Thought about it. More than likely people around the area would overfill them before I had the chance.. Easiest just ti take loads with the truck.
are you going to add vintage wallpaper to the room?
Good question…. I think I may ask everyone on TH-cam what they would like to see and whatever the popular vote is we make go that route..
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Did he throw out a heater at 21:57?
That is good stuff.
if you were to take this ship to a dry dock with the big teams they have at drydocks they would have it working again and looking like new in less than a year they would be working on it 24 7 until its ready to be used for real. but i know that will be big money to get it in a drydock. but just saying having a big team and getting that ship working and looking like new in less than a year i would do what every it takes no matter the cost.
Wouldn’t that be a dream come true…
Was that not an LED bulb in the bathroom?
I wondered the same thing. Turns out it was a diffused CFL and not an LED.
Sorry to hear about its sinking.
Just a question: Since the ship was built in Germany, are the circuits 220v?
They have since been changed to 110v in the early 1970s when it came to the west coast as a cruise ship.
@@AuroraRestorationProject good to know!
On a side note, what happened to the kitchen reno? If you renovate that, you can maybe host more events or helpers?
Thanks for asking. A few weeks after out last video a producer asked about filing a movie aboard and his production blocked proper access to that project for a while. We will ba back at it in the coming months.
Have the same problem on my boat restoration, it’s not the original boat but all the bodgie repairs. S&S34
Amazing what repairs people with no skills will make just to get by.
Was this an ad for the solar panels and power pack?
We had a sponsor for this video. My goal was to integrate the use of this product in day to day work life aboard the ship. I am still working on the skill of advertising for a sponsor without it taking from the quality of the video. When I can figure that skill out then things will start to improve.
Go to an architectural salvage place for period parts.
Not a bad idea. I am an avid flea marketer for the reason of finding mid century fixtures and furniture.
Where do I go to see about volunteering? Would love to help out.
Check out our Facebook group.
RIP pipes and toilet
They will be remembered….
Adventures with purpose, had a kid drowned in a car near the boat
I was there for the whole thing. Filmed everything but decided against posting a video about the subject. Still debating however.
News says he had four Long Island Iced Teas . . . Guess the island still wasn’t quite long enough . . . And he was driving from Shangri La to . . . Xanadu? Can’t make this stuff up. 😳. R.I.P.
Audio levels are all over the place. I have to keep adjusting the volume so i dont wake up the house. Background music needs to be lower. Sometimes the voice over cant be heard over the music bed.
Sorry about that, Audio is another skill I need to work out if I’m going to continue making videos. Harder than it seems.
Seriously, what is worse than getting done at the dump and then realizing that you forgot your broom...ugh!
Good thing all trucks come with mops . . . whew!
Never forget your mop when you head to the dump….
the pool is done?
Knock out a wall or two to make big suites. It is not a cruise ship any more. These tiny rooms are no longer needed.
Keep the toilet. If you’re restoring don’t just throw everything away. Bathrooms were very utilitarian back then
This is nothing but an infomercial for that power supply thing. I wonder how much they are paying him.
Lot of people out there getting paid a whole lot more for doing a whole lot less than Chris - give the guy a break! Also he went out of his way in this episode to explain that he only takes on advertisers that have a genuine interest for the project - honorable!!
I lack the skills of tastefully integrating a usable product into the video. I have a few ideas on how to do this but we definitely don’t want to miss out on product collaborations and reviews. It really helps us keep moving forward on this expensive project. Hope you stick around.
@@AuroraRestorationProject It seems well-integrated in this video. Connecting it to breaker terminals is an application a lot won’t see otherwise. Not sure why you’re getting so much hate on this vid - you must be doing something right 😉.
Wrong attachment on the shop vac.
As of this date july 2024 the ship was sold few months ago
i think she was used in the 1985 Macgyver seris
I wouldn’t doubt that. She’s been in a lot of television show and movies.
Let me know what you think about the screen shot from the series
Where did you send it ?
I just sent it on Facebook
They need to replace the American flag. It’s ripped and torn at the edge. Technically this is against the law.
We seem to go through about two flags per month and with the wind out here it only takes a few days to start to shred. It is indeed time to replace.
S.S. United States......and this TH-cam article vessel....
As a marine surveyor...I would have to question hull integrity first upon survey if this small vessel and of it's age should ever find a surveyor. Marine Surveyors are hired to evaluate condition and value based upon findings. Vessel's of this vintage suffer galvanic decay throughout structured hull framing and welded steel skin, stem to stern. It is one of many reasons why most have gone to ship breakers in India. SS United States!
Music is a bit too loud FYI
Thanks, Will work in better mixing in future videos..
If you park it beside a typical city, you can end homelessness for as many cabins as it has, while encouraging politicians to care enough.
please wear protective gear
Thanks for the advise.
what happened to the project
it sunk.
Too bad the Aurora is sinking. The tug has sunk next to it.
I wish I could help but .1 if it isn’t near Pennsylvania I can’t .2. I’m a fucking 12 year old idk how useful I could be besides cleaning and painting Al I can do is donate
Landfills!? You Americans are still doing that? OMG!
Rip it out. Make it into a store room
Plan is to make it back into a useable cabin.
It sunk 😢
Hello, so the project is ended? Kind Regards Frans
Zip line the garage next time.
Not a bad idea. Moving the trash and debris is kind of a bad job yet satisfying to see all of it go.

@@AuroraRestorationProjectMaybe a burn barrel or two for wood and other debris. Save time and energy.
Please turn down the music when your talking can't hear squat.
Less shill more boat
I know that you need sponsors, but a 21 minute advert?
REPLACE THE AMERICAN FLAG~!!! It's a disgrace to fly it like that~!!! LTC James D. Thornton U>S> Army Ret.
Done, We go through a couple of flags each month due to the wind here. Only take a couple of days to see then start to shred unfortunately.
Well done Chris keep going, hope those electric bits come in handy, cheers from Canada Vivien and Alistair, U.K. camper.
It’s was great to have you two out even for a short time. I just so happen to have found a use for the transformer. Thanks again. I hope we see you out this way again sometime.
