Paul Lincoln was my grandfather on my father's side of the family. On summer vacations, I use to sit in that very shop and watch him at work, so many people would stop by and chat with Paul. He loved model ship building, but his true passion was model train building. He had tons of trains in his house that I played with. I lost contact with him in the early eighties. I was very surprised when he was mentioned in this video.
" when she left Liverpool"......etc no. you should have done your research better. Neither Queen Mary or Queen Elizabeth ever visited their " home " port of Liverpool. Southampton was the only British port used by the Queens.
Sadly no, the ship was build for the Atlantic. There wasn't really a need for Air Conditioning. I feel bad for the people on the final cruise who had to suffer with the heat in the ship
Titanic is the most famous wreck. She never completed a voyage. She was one of the largest ships at the time, but, not THE largest at the time of her sailing. She wasn't even close to being the fastest. She was middle of the road in terms of the largest ships in the world at the time, and, even in her class. Olympic was the "big deal" because she was the first, and, she was the largest when she began service. Titanic only became a household name because of the sinking, and, had everyone gotten off, she would have been just another name on the list of sunken ships. To put Titanic into further perspective, she isn't the worst/largest loss of life in maritime history. Thanks to the romanticism, and, glorification of the circumstances surrounding her loss, and, the big names that went down with her, she gets top billing as the end all, be all, of ships, and, shipping losses. Doña Paz beats Titanic in terms of lives lost, but, a bum boat that kills 4386 "nobodys" is forgotten about 31 years later. The Wilhelm Gustloff took more people to the bottom than Titanic, Lusitania, Empress of Ireland, and, Doña Paz combined, but no one talks about that one either.
+Sir S-Spec Maybe she wasn't the biggest of her time, but she was far from middle of the road. Not even close to middle of the road, well beyond. She wasn't the fastest either, but you make it sound like she only moved at 10 knots or something. She was indeed pretty close to the fastest ocean liner at the time (the Lusitania) which beat Titanic by only 2 knots. Again, not the fastest, but certainly closer than you make it out to be. While Titanic's impressive qualities are often blown out of proportion, you're making it sound like Titanic was mediocre for her time which is just as far (if not farther) from the truth.
I don't make it "sound like" anything. I presented facts, based on nearly 40 years of objective research into all aspects of the ship itself, ships that came before, and since, as well as the period in which she was designed, built, and, sunk. I'm not the typical "ShipSim Historian" one finds on TH-cam, who is a "major authority" on the subject because they watched "Titanic", and can name "the greatest hits" of ocean liners. Without "making it sound like something", here are some facts about Titanic: She was neither the largest of her time, (or even of her class), nor was she the smallest. She was neither the fastest, nor the slowest ship of her time. She was neither the most luxurious, nor was she the most austere ship of her time. Her sinking was neither: the first nor the last, the largest, nor the smallest vessel lost, the largest, nor the least in terms of loss of life. Now, If something is neither one extreme, nor the other, what is it? Had she not sunk, in modern terms, she would have been just another 747 at the gate. An impressive machine. A larger than some, but not quite as big as others, vehicle to ship people, and, mail from point A to point B. A face in the crowd. Instead, she sank and became the N736PA "Clipper Victor"/PH-BUF "Rijn", or the JA8119 of her day.
+Sir S-Spec Everything I said in my previous comment still applies. Yeah, those are the facts, but you still exaggerated quite a few of them. Nothing you said debunks that. Titanic definitely wouldn't have just been another 747. She and Olympic were the biggest ocean liners (not the biggest ships, the biggest ocean liners) ever built until 1913. And yes, you are making it sound like Titanic was a very nothing ship. You can deny it all you want, but it's exactly what you're doing.

Point out the exaggeration, ShipSim Historian.
Titanic was 269 metres long, with a tonnage of roughly 45,000 tons. Queen Mary was 310 metres long with a tonnage of roughly 81,000 tons. So the QM was bigger.
The Titanic was the largest and grandest ship of its time. However, the Titanic launched and sank in 1912. The RMS Queen Mary didn't take her maiden voice till 24 years later in 1936, obviously advances had been made since.
I remember my folks taking me to see her arrive in Long Beach in 1967. I barely remember it as I was only 5.
I so badly want to return.

Holy heck! I was a child when I first listened to this. Talk about nostalgia. Damn I'm old!
You've Lived Through An Amazing Time ♥️😘
Thank you for sharing the best video of the RMS Queen Mary.
I had this video on VHS. I got it in the late 80’s as a souvenir
" when she left Liverpool"......etc no. you should have done your research better. Neither Queen Mary or Queen Elizabeth ever visited their " home " port of Liverpool. Southampton was the only British port used by the Queens.
When I was 8 I visited the Queen Mary and the spruce goose was there in 1988
Back in the days where the Queen mary was looked after much better than she has been in the last few years
actually when the the queen mary collided with the curacoa it was hours before anybody came to save them.
amazing
No air conditioning?
Sadly no, the ship was build for the Atlantic. There wasn't really a need for Air Conditioning. I feel bad for the people on the final cruise who had to suffer with the heat in the ship
Anthony's Trains they had the punkelouvres. Those were added to the rooms during a later time in sure
My dad worked at the queen Mary
Ah rule Britannia and a British Ocean liner... we really did rule the waves!🇬🇧
Why isn’t it on the sea anymore
whats the song at the beginning
Rule Britannia
thanks, do you know what song that is at 0:59
King Punchwood smsm
18:22 that is very weird to see
i thought THE R.M.S. TITANIC CALLED QUEEN OF THE SEAS FIRST AS SHE IS SENIOR AND MORE BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED WITH EXTERIOURS AND INTERIOURS
incorrect on a lot of that.
Queen mary is haunted in 1984
I need to watch the haunted queen mary from 1985
Most famous transatlantic luxury liner? Pfft! Titanic says hi.

Into work on queen mary New documey biography book years ago
who came here from shanes video
Sami King me bitch
OMG OMG OMG
Dude, don't, just don't. Don't bring him up just cause he talked the Queen Mary a couple of times, don't embarrass him like that.
Queen rams a British ship and it’s still with us and classed as a hero.. Olympic rams a German submarine and is scrapped 😂😆.
Looks like Titanic should have been used for the movie
Yes but it’s not the Titanic
The Queen Elizabeth was even larger and more beautiful than Queen Mary.
But only just
Nice piece of gear. Too bad it was named after a complete twit.
What about titanic titanic was bigger and way better
Titanic was 269 metres long, with a tonnage of roughly 45,000 tons. Queen Mary was 310 metres long with a tonnage of roughly 81,000 tons. So the QM was bigger.
The Titanic was the largest and grandest ship of its time. However, the Titanic launched and sank in 1912. The RMS Queen Mary didn't take her maiden voice till 24 years later in 1936, obviously advances had been made since.
