@shipwrecksunday Fantastic editing, by the way. You are improving the quality of the transitions and especially with the nuggets of information of related vessels. Although Lucy always captures my heart, her sister deserves every bit of recognition. Her and Olympic were lady bros there in the end. Shame it was under such circumstances. Anyway, well done Elinor! Question: If you're a Lady Mary fan, is Our Commodore a Lucy one?
Another great job again 😊 Like I mentioned before, something about that dazzle paint scheme on Mauritania! Funny thing about the Lusitania, Mauritania, & Aquitania being 4 functional funnels, when just a short time later the Titanic's fourth funnel was just for show.
Lovely video... two corrections: Mauretania would be her "younger" sister since she is larger than Lusitania, and I think you switched them with the description of the cowl vents.. Lusitania had those troublesome can like vents while Mauretania had the forest of cowl vents that became her trademark for advertising and photos..
Well done Elinor. Your affection for the ship came thru. If you scripted this it’s one of your best. I believe ships are more than just machines as well. It is sad when they are scrapped.
Thanks so much! It is scripted so I appreciate that! I agree with you - I felt particularly sad with the scrapping of Mauretania. It's just a shame these beautiful ships have to go to waste. I agree with FDR!
@@shipwrecksunday it’s great City and a good place to start a cruise. If I was actually allowed to properly work I would’ve joined the museum years ago when I moved down here. They don’t like Merchant Marines doing what they do best, thanks to insurance! Im blessed railroad museums turn their head!
@@shipwrecksunday Your welcome though I do feel bad for Mauretania my guess after the war depending on how hard she was pushed both before and during the war. Her internal systems and power plant must have been failing slowly prior to her oil firing conversion for sometime and with her not getting the rehauled her speed was reducing even after it then being overhauled again and again somewhat fixed her but not to the original standards though Olympic didn't seem to have the problem when she was converted to Oil firing.
Finally got SOME Wi Fi! Pity she (and Olympic) didn`t survive JUST a few more years to serve alongside Aquitania in WWII - now THAT would`ve been Memorable sight.
I have 2 books about 'Mauretania' and 'Lusitania' reproduced from commemorative issues of 'Engineering' by Mark Warren. I consider them crown jewels of the books I have.
Great video cant wait to see more.......though i think this Mauritania is far more popular that the 1938 Mauritania ( took me years of being a Ocean liner fanatic to find out there was a second Mauritania
The Windsor building was demolished in 1987, by which time the panelling and fittings appear to have been carefully stripped, though where they ended up is unknown.
Dazzle Paint: Yes, makes it difficult to determine heading but also when looking at the ship thru a range finder on a Navy Ship to calculate distance to target, in order to focus the range finder, you have to 'line-up" the view of the ship's main deck. Once the main deck of the target is aligned, you calculate the range for your firing solution. The dazzle confuses the eye making it difficult to determine alignment at distance, especially through haze, sea-spray, your ship is rolling, target ship is rolling, etc. I've looked thru an old pre-radar range finder and dazzle makes targeting problematic. Submarines, however, use different method for targeting and that's where dazzle really helps but not 100%. Submarines usually got closer to their intended target.
Because I am concerned about the future of SS United States and because I did manage a high end hotel for 8 1/2 years, I am intrigued about your closing musing of "What if the Mauretania was turned into a museum ship or hotel?" With that said, I know that end is closer to what most people think of Queen Mary's viability. Although the QM is in a very touristy area, it is the dingy, short, poorly clothed step sister compared to the hundreds of interesting tourist attractions in the southern California. By comparison, the hotel I managed is now 64 years old and kept in operation because of the business principle of location, location and location as it is adjacent to an intersection where three highways come together. So, suppose the QM or SS United States was moored in the Houston/Galveston area? It would be the star attraction. Houston has a world class museum district and world class medical center. Beyond that, not much else. NASA is in between the two cities, but they shoot the rockets off in Florida. Galveston has several interesting conventions a year, nice beaches and a minor theme park. So, the people that hold the strings for the SS United States have a dream of mooring the ship in New York City. This is a bad idea as NYC and the entire northeast have a terrible business climate with way too many regulations, way too many unions and way too many greedy officials that want their pockets lined. So, I have a dream, as Martin Luther King said, of bringing either ship to Texas. I buy lottery tickets and dream.
It's true - location can change so much! Houston would be a great area to put SS United States! I appreciate your perspective, friend - thanks so much!
Who else LOVES Mauretania?! 👋👋🤠
Me!
Same !! .
MEEE!!!
I Do! I Do! ❤️🚢❤️
Great segment on a beautiful old ship!
You and Ocean liner designs are queued for this rainy day.
Looking forward to it!
Thanks so much! I'm honored!
Yes, I’m waiting to watch Ocean Liner Designs after I watch c Bc Shipwreck Sunday!

Thank you so much for this tribute to the wonderful Mauretania . Very much enjoyed this . Thank you .
Thank you so much for watching, my friend! I appreciate you!
An excellent video once again miss! This is one of the most detailed videos I have seen about the RMS Mauretania. Well done!
Thanks so much, dear friend!!
Another great job again 😊
Like I mentioned before, something about that dazzle paint scheme on Mauritania!
Funny thing about the Lusitania, Mauritania, & Aquitania being 4 functional funnels, when just a short time later the Titanic's fourth funnel was just for show.
Thanks so much! I love the fact that they actually used all four funnels!

The starboard anchor still exists, over looking the mouth of the river Tyne
Thank you for adding this!

Took me forever to get past the first 11 seconds, I finally made it through the rest of the video. Good stuff!
Thank you!!
Elinor, if you like davids and dazzle what about davids with dazzle paint
I also love davids and dazzle paint BTW
Regards❤😂
Lmao! 😂
@@shipwrecksundaylmao😂
A model of Maurie is available on line, in Chequer Dazzle, good price nice small classic - I`ve got one.
You always know where to find the hookup! Thanks so much, Moose!
Another fab video! I learned some new things about her!
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Thank you for another great video Elinor.. 😎💚💙👍👍👏👏👏👏🍺🍺🍻
Thanks so much for watching!
Excellent video once again 👍👍👍
Thank you!!
The SS American Victory in Tampa is painted in Dazzle scheme. It’s cool to see.
I need to go to Tampa now!!!

Something about the dazzle scheme of Mauritania though 😂
The Mauretania had far more deck fence than her sister Lusitania, not the other way around as mentioned. Love this video!
Thank you for that correction!! ❤️
@@shipwrecksunday it’s funny I’ve been wanting to know where her remains went and you covered that in great detail at the end of the video, thanks.
I love the literal sibling rivalry between mauri and Lucy. 2 different shipyards, blue ribbon switches, its insane
It's a fierce competition!
Love your videos, I really look forward to watching them!
Thank you so much!
I like it thank you I never knew they had so many ships and again thank you❤❤
You're welcome!! Thank you for watching!!
25:10. I think that picture is actually of the second Mauretania being scrapped in 1965-66.
Ah, thank you!! ❤️
Your ship breakdowns are amazingly detailed and great to watch.
👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much!!

Her and the Aqua are my favorite Cunard built ships. The Lizzy and M2 is my close second!
All four of those ships are amazing! Aquitania has one of longest careers I've ever covered, and it's insane how long she served!
@@shipwrecksunday the Saga Sisters had a long career as well! They also saved Cunard!
Finally got SOME Wi Fi! Pity she (and Olympic) didn`t survive JUST a few more years to serve alongside Aquitania in WWII - now THAT would`ve been Memorable sight.
I totally agree!! Great to see you!
I have two models of her, one of her as a ocean liner and the other as a hospital ship. Just wish I had a model of her sister RMS Lusitania.
That's awesome! I'm jealous! I really want one of her dazzle paint and one of Olympic in dazzle!
Gotta love the 4 stackers ! Good Video Elinor 👍👍
Thanks so much!! Four stackers are just the best!
Didn't know there was 2 Mauretania"s
@@Vet-7174 there were! Though my personal favorite is the first!

Have you guys did one about the ss rex?
I have not yet!

@@kevinkevin-ug9po Thank you for including this!
Thank you so much for this video. I never knew Maury was called HMS Tuberose at some point. Good thing Cunard ditched that name lol

Some of what draws a crowd to QM2 in Long Beach is the claim she's haunted.

They made ships look like floating English manor houses. You'll never see anything like that today, unfortunately.
