RMS Aquitania: The Ship Beautiful (part 1 of 2) feat. Fox Star Line

Hold up Imma let u finish- Lusitania's great, but Aquitania is the greatest ship of all time!!

At the end it says “part 2 coming November 18”. Obviously, now the second video has already been released, but it just so happens the day I watched this video, it was November 18

What ever happened to the Aquitania?

Beautiful name for that ship.

I wish this ship had a Grand Staircase!

I have a nice original picture of Aqutania in River Mersey Liverpool, England. Thank You for an Excellent Video-Summery. 👍

I wish this ship was still around she should be right next to the queen Mary ship today. It a really was a shame she got scrapped

That's... not how you pronounce Palladian but otherwise great video.

I came to Pier 21 in Halifax with my mother and four of us kids in October 1949. Dad had come a month or so prior. It was an exciting time in my life. I am truly grateful to my parents for their decision to come to Canada. Bruce Sticklee

Horrible voice in the second part of the video. Not only voice, but delivery is awful

Look up "The Star Of India" San Diego, CA

I was a little puzzled when I seen the thumbnail, and that this ship was operated by the Fox line. and I was thinking this can't be right? because the distinction between ships of that period were. that all ships operated by the White Star Line. were designated by IC at the end of names. and that all ships operated by the Cunard Line. were designated by IA at the end of their names. and after watching the video it turns out I was correct.

For anyone who didn’t know (doubt there are many) Comm. WM Turner was the captain of Lusitania when she met her end before going on to become commodore of the Cunard line. He actually went down with the ship and through nothing short of a miracle was swept off the bridge wing as she made her final plunge and plucked from the water, some say alert and some say unconscious, by survivors in one of the few boats to make it off before the ship had listed too far to launch any more. He would go on to help in organizing the rescue of those in the water and give invaluable testimony at the board of trade inquiry. Turner remained a sea captain with Cunard for the rest of his career.

The Aquitania is my all time favorite ship

I think it’s kinda ugly

I'm sorry but while the video within a video is informative his delivery is irritating as hell.

God entered my body, like a body. My same size. Holy ghost baptism. God gives single christians sexx dreams. they sleep. dream. have sexx with men and women. bible says. let not eunuch say im dry tree

I like Fox Star’s voice changer

Wow I didn't know cost plus were a thing for Titanic. I know of them from commercial spaceflight where a move to fixed price milestone based contracts from the old cost plus has led to a lot of innovation and reduction in cost.

SLS under cost plus can do 100 t to orbit for 2-4 billion. Falcon Heavy developed under fixed price can do 64 t for 150 million.

Interesting… I always thought Lusitania and Mauritania’s interiors looked far more luxurious [in photos] than the Olympic Class liners. Perhaps it was due to the addition of more Victorian Era “gingerbread” in order to make up for the lack of creature comforts?

I prefer the Cunard 1st class staterooms and hallways as they were well decorated. White Star was lazy!!

In truth, the vessel had no "issue" itself, and perhaps, if it were to still run today, many faults and withdraws would be highly appropriate considering her size and the fact that she was constructed in 1910. The issue was, was the great expectations of the government in these modern days, removing anything that does not meet up to modern-day standards, and this was the exact "issue" that the government found with the vessel. The RMS Aquitania was a true vessel, just like the RMS Olympic, both serving their instructed years, but did not deserve the punishment of being scrapped. God bless the mighty vessels.

Something I think about is what if aquitainia took the route that the britannic did in 1916. I think that that would make it to where white star was the one that lasted instead of cunard

My grandpa sailed on this ship in 1942. He said he slept in the drained second class swimming baths. The voyage took 27 days, Mudros to Southampton to Halifax to The Netherlands to Scotland to Halifax again and docked at Glasgow in Scotland for a refit, there he got off and sailed on a smaller ship to Halifax again.
Aquitania is also one of my favourite ships.
My grandpa also remembers him on the stern, waving at his Mother and Father and looking down on the hull saying “AQUITANIA LIVERPOOL”

I prefer the Aquitainias design to Lusitania. Especially the shape of the bridge

so in what if aquitania and britannic size

so in rms aquitania a 901 feet

rms lusitania vs hmhs britannic

Aquitania has always been my favorite 4 stacker.

I personally consider the Aquitania to be the 4th Olympic-class liner as its designer took alot of notes about the RMS Olympic during her maiden voyaged

"Natural light is abundant" now I see everyone drinking crappy gas station beer and leaving their cans laying around the deck

How did they put the coal on board ship? No conveyor belt then.

Thanks for showing some of the rarer footage of her. Not often you get to see the ship from the stern. From that view, it's more obvious to see why she got a lot of criticism for being "boxy". The upper decks really do look too big for the rest of the ship.

Derby, as in countess of Derby, is pronounced "Darby".

Derby is pronounced DARBY

May I ask for a video about the Edmund Fitzgerald?

Can you make a video about the andrea doria

I’m strangely obsessed with these videos. I just can’t get over the beauty of these ships and how significant they are to our history.

Needless to say, We better get part two here in the next week or so like you promised! Lol.

Lusitania + TItanic = Aquitania

simple

WTH please can you be the only narrator

The Queen Mary before the Queen Mary :P

If one looks at the design and details of the Aquitania and Queen Mary you will see similarity with the designs and this is how you can see evolution of the line, in this case the Cunard line.

rms aquitania the ship beautiful part 2 of 2 feat fox star line and it go to fllm tomorrow new you tube

Modern causing lines want the swimming pools on an open upper deck, so people can sunbath. Having a large body of water high up above the center of gravity is a big naval architecture problem. I always thought some restaurants should copy their dining rooms as to those on the old major liners as a draw. I wonder how many pieces of their interiors survived scrapping through intervention of architectural salvage firms?

Great video again. Just one thing let it down for me: Pal-a-dane-iasm is pronounced Pall-ade-ianism: Palladian

Can you do a video on the Kaiser-class ocean liners in the future?

Gonna have to hijack doc’s DeLorean and see her for myself lol

Excellent video. Thank you.
