iluvcamaros so I know you love liners but what about another famous ship that was lost... The Edmund Fitzgerald? That would be cool to see you make. Would you? With the song by Gordon lightfoot it would be a really cool video
Cunard:Mauretania and Lusitania has been very successful. White Star:*prepares for Olympic's Maiden Voyage* Cunard*sees what White Star is doing*Ok,we need a ship,bigger than Olympic,and the most luxorious ship in the world. (1 year has passed and Titanic has her Maiden Voyage) Cunard:The ship is just like Olympic but with closed windows.What an easy design. (May 31 1914) White Star:What the.... Cunard:ha.
5:12 this is the first time I have actually seen the front face out of Titanic Olympic, Mauritania, Brittanic,lusitania all I ever see of these ships is the side face
+iluvcamaros That's what I've been thinking as Aquitania and Titanic were 1st class ships but in nowadays they're more like 3rd class, But Cunard ships in nowadays DO NOT have the features that make it look like a Las Vegas Casino.
@@darthplagueis1884 im in ;), i also wanted to bring back those days of the palace like interiors heck i even had an vision of the Aquitania, Normandie, France and QE and Olympic sailing the seas again :)
SCUBA STEVE4568 Yes it's a shame really. How lovely it would have been to see one of these vessels in their hay day. Ships now a days look much different due to different purposes/ accommodation. There is simply not a need for Transatlantic liners anymore. It's all about the Cruising Industry these days, a ship of this style for that kind of job just wouldn't do. I've been on a few Cruises (Royal Caribbean) and a balcony is splendid. I do believe that it's more about passenger comfort inside the ship, and people do love their balconies, so ship designs have gotten quite awkward. Also due to how big the Industry is so they need more cabins.
The interiors were rightly acclaimed but Aquitania's external appearance was always controversial. She had a reputation for looking boxy, something which was made worse by the unusual decision not to have a raised forecastle. It made the superstructure look too big for the hull.
I loved this, Thank you for thinking of Aquitania, She was my favorite ship. Have you ever seen A&E's Floating Palaces? that is a great one about these ocean liners. She is the last of the survivors. I wish they have honored her and parked her as a hotel or a museum for all to come in, pay a fee or some thing to come and see her in all her glory, I would of pay to come and see Aquitania inside and out. Look at Queen Mary in Long Beach California, they parked her and made her into a hotel. Great job on the video. God bless and Happy New Year 2015.
alaskanactressp30 A bit late for a reply but I do wish a ship like Aquitania or Olympic still existed. It's sad that the reward for a lifetime of service was a trip to the ship breakers.
You know how awesome it could have been having the Olympic, Titanic, Britannic, Mauritania, Lusitania, and Aquatania sailing the seas during those times? Instead of 3 of them sinking?
how is that all the new ships look horrible and have terrible luxury taste but the old ships like Mauritania and Lusitania and Aquatania and Olympic, Titanic and Britannic and all the other old ships of the 20 century were the symbol of luxury elegance and beauty. Nowadays you can go a take a lump of wood and call it a luxury Liner.
but those ships are a rare bunch,you don't have ships like that very often anymore... also,i was born in 1998,and i applaud the effort they put into these older ships,not these ships that look like nothing but balcony's
Beutifel its more than beutifuel Its Glamours and Glorious Aquitania is a amazing ship its shame she was scrapped And Guest what Cunnard is launching a new ship in 2022 i thought it should be called the Aquitania 2 others called mauretania 2 And AQUITANIA interior is beutifuel more THAN THE BERENGARIA
In terms of the exterior the Olympic is a bit better, but inside they were about even and the Aquitania was faster and bigger, so she could carry more passengers and was in general a better ship.
Doctor Emil when I say compared to her, I refer to the interior. And Aquitania was built to compete as Olympic’s rival, so it makes sense Aquitania would be a bit better in those aspects. But interiors wise Olympic was always the best.
Doctor Emil Plus if I remember right Aquitania’s passenger capacity dropped by at least 1000 by 1926. So Olympic had higher capacity at that point. Though her 3000+ passenger capacity was her large capacity of third class passengers but after 1926 it dropped to be around the same as first and second class. While Aquitania was slightly bigger and barely had higher tonnage than Olympic, Olympic surpassed that as her tonnage increased to 46,358 after 1913 and even further to 46,439 after 1920.
Doctor Emil but in terms of capacity newer ships in the late 30s to 30s ended up beating both of them. But regardless I was never one to consider the passenger capacity that is past what’s needed to be of much importance.
@@Aelvir114 I was talking about their specs when new and the passenger capacity can be important on busy routes. Also it says something about the ships' efficiency and profitability. The Aquitania was 16 metres longer, could carry hundreds of passengers more and still be faster! I'm one of those people who respect the looks, but also consider other abilities of the ship.
I think that isn’t true Olympic had things that Aquitania hadn’t and Aquitania had things that the Olympic hadn’t also the ships where design for different people
Plus the fitz has significant meaning to me If you made a vid about it I couldn't thank you enough. I have some family up there and they remember the search efforts on the news
This video has a lot of great information, but for those who are too lazy to read, there's a narrated video that takes a deep dive into Aquitania's history by thegreatbigmove
now days ships look like a pile of floating balconies,my question is this:How is that luxurious in any way??? today i could call my turd a luxury liner(hate to say it,but it's true) luxury liner like RMS Olympic and RMS Lusitania were better then today's ships in my opinion. +iluvcomaros keep up the good work -Dominique Bugaj
The Cunard liners would have been overpowered by the white star liners if the Titanic hadn't sunk or if Brittanic wasn't converted to a hospital ship :(
Not sure if anyone's actually going to see this but... Does anyone know the story behind the Aquitania's bridge? As far as I can tell, it went through at least three transformations.
Beau Elliott My favorite liner is Olympic so I'd favor Titanic personally. Especially when it comes to exterior appearance. Aquitania is boxy and awkward looking. Olympic/Titanic have such clean lines and perfect proportions. When it comes to interiors I'd call it even.
I miss the days when traveling at sea was so peaceful and luxorious, now shops have casinos ,buffets,ect, what happened to the beautiful dinning rooms, the luxorious cabins, if i could i would go back in time just to sale onboard the Cunard liner RMS MURETANIA or THE RMS OLYMPIC From white star line.
Eh, not so much. She was meant to compliment them as a running mate for sure and is a quintessential Cunarder, but she's more their unique take on the Olympic-class liners. Many consider her the ultimate "floating palace" Edwardian liner. She was built by the same shipyard as the RMS LUSITANIA, so I'd imagine she'd share a bit of her technical design with her, but she was in a class of her own. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_%26_Company
If I were a bilonaire I would build replicas of aquitania Mauritania and Olympic and save the ss United States, they and queen mary and qe2 are my favorite ocean liners
RMS Titanic: The Ship of Dreams RMS Olympic: An Old Reliable RMS Aquitania: The Ship Beautiful Please leaves in your replies for some nicknames of the ships. : )
Peter Dhan L.S. No, it really weren’t. It wasn’t called anything really. It was too new of a ship to gain a reputation, which is what earned the other ships their nicknames.
I hope someday.. Some cruise company will build a new ocean liner like Olympic, titanic, aquitania, and etc.... Their designs are much beautiful than the other ships today that looks like a floating Las vegas
Aquitania was famed for her fabulous interiors, but I'm no fan of her outward appearance. Like her sisters, she looks far too clunky and boxy in my opinion, especially her bridge, which looks too small and eventually out of place. 2:22 is the perfect comparison between her and her inspiration. Aquitania was even built to Admiralty specification, despite it not being required nor requested.
I love Aquitania's outer appearance as well as her interior. Always loved Olympic class liners but Aquitania is even more beautiful in my opinion. There is something elegant and magic about her.
@@alvarojoseorellana en realidad no, además el Olympic fue llamado “The Ship Magnificent” además el Aquitania pesaba 45.000 toneladas y el Olympic pesaba 46.000 toneladas. El Olympic fue equipado con un cine en primera y segunda clase, el Aquitania tenía un cine?, NO. El Aquitania tenía una cancha de squash, NO!. El Olympic fue el barco más grande del mundo y hundió un submarino en tiempos de guerra el Aquitania nunca tuvo esos logros. Al final de su vida el Olympic tenía un excelente estado estructural, de hecho el inspector de la cámara de comercio dijo al terminar las inspecciones de los revestimientos “El estado del casco es bueno”. Sin embargo al final de su vida el Aquitania estaba un un estado de deterioro tan avanzado que uno de los pianos se calló del techo de un comedor, su certificado de navegación no fue renovado debido a que el barco no cumplía con los estándares de la época por este motivo Cunard decidió retíralo en 1950. Así que no me digas que el Aquitania era mejor porque en realidad no lo era!.
@@juanesmirez llamarlo viejo confiable no significa que sea más hermoso, ese sobrenombre de lo llevo debido a su desempeño en la guerra. La guerra no tiene nada que ver con el lujo. El Aquitania tenía un tonelaje de 45.600 toneladas de registro bruto mientras que el Olympic tenia 45.300. Esto hace al Aquitania más grande. Si bien es cierto el Aquitania no tenia un cine, en vez tenia un teatro, cosa que es mucho más elegante y de mayor clase. Adicional a esto, el teatro del Olympic estaba ubicado en el salón de primera clase (Lounge en inglés) esto hacía que un espacio muy importante de primera clase tendría que ser modificado lo cual es una falla de diseño tomando en cuenta que ese salón se construyó para socializar no para ver películas. También, la escalera principal, el lugar más lujoso y más trabajado en el Olympic tuvo que ser pintada verde ya que no pudo igualar los estándares de la época, cosa que el Aquitania no tuvo que hacer ya que desde 1914 ya sabían que el diseño del Aquitania iba a perdurar durante más tiempo que el Olympic. También, el Olympic fue puesto fuera de servicio tan pronto debido a la falta de servicios básicos como baños privados, esto en el Aquitania no pasó, si bien es cierto no tenia baños privados para todos los camarotes, tenia más que el Olympic, esto es un gran punto a favor del Aquitania y de nuevo, otro aspecto en el cual sobrepasa al Olympic. En cuanto al estado de los buques al momento de su desguace cabe recalcar que el Olympic fue desguazarlo en 1935, 15 años antes que el Aquitania. También hay que añadir que el Aquitania sirvió en 2 guerras mundiales, de ahí su estado al momento de su deshuace y en su último año de servicio. No hay punto de comparación en cuanto a los años finales de ambos buques ya que el Aquitania sirvió por un periodo más largo de tiempo y lógicamente su estado va a estar peor que el del Olympic, vuelvo y repito, 15 años de diferencia y una guerra mundial más que el Olympic. El Aquitania fue un buque que sobrepasó al Olympic en absolutamente todos los aspectos.
