@@GetRealGreg Wow *slow clap* I could guess you were Victorian from the 'mint' usage haha ~Mike

@@OceanlinerDesigns Are you trying to tell me that only Victorians’ use the adjective mint? This cannot possibly be true. Blasphemy.

What about the normandie

@@jamesreader9801 I was talking about the liners in this video. Normandie wasn’t in it. But I actually prefer the Queen Mary over the Normandie, at least her exterior. Normandie’s lines were just a little too radical for my taste and the shape of her funnels and her immense girth just made her seem a little bloated compared to the Queen Mary or Queen Elizabeth.

@@connorpusey5912 yeah it was a bit wide but I do like the stern exterior

Well as a matter of fact the Olympic class was about 40-50% bigger in volume that's gross tonnage. So that is very big leap in size I do say for a new size record.

@@Wonkothenormal A lot of that was due to hull shape, as the Olympic class was “thicker” shaped than the Lusitania/Mauretania, who were more slenderly shaped. But in terms of dimensions, there wasn’t a drastic difference. A difference, yes, just not what could be considered a “leap”.

I now right.

@@OceanlinerDesigns Aight, thx mate. Atleast someone knows about the Polish Olympic.

I've seen an illustration somewhere of the _Queen Mary_ standing on end in midtown Manhattan, to make the point that she's virtually the same length as the Chrysler Building is tall. I'm not sure if that's something Cunard produced at the time or a later artist's idea, though I remember it in a vintage style. (Fun fact: the Chrysler Building had only been complete about six months, and was in the middle of its very brief reign as the world's tallest building, when the _Queen Mary_ was laid down!)

The thing to keep in mind is that these ships were around just to get people places, unlike now where a modern cruise ship is meant to entertain. On the Olympic as a second class passenger you would probably just spend your time in the library or smoking room reading/playing cards or other games while sailing. A smoke and beer or two. Maybe you'd just enjoy a chat with someone or some time above deck watching the sea go by or whatever have you. Go off and get meals a couple times a day. Similar thing for 3rd class passengers, they just had a saloon and smoking room though. Probably plenty of poker and other gambling games going on. TBH not really a bad deal. And then you can always just go below deck to your cabin and sleep/rest during the voyage so you can go off and do your work/business when you're landside again. Honestly for a trip that's just meant to get you to somewhere it sounds kinda nice to me. Cruise Ships seem so busy and stressful.

@@nutellafoxvideos7350 Thank you so much for your well thought of & informative reply. Though I realise the Olympic Class Liners weren't modern pleasure ships, let me better explain my point; Taking all 3 classes into account, I think that 2nd class got the short end of the stick. The 2nd class space and accommodations are very confined to one small area of the ship, extending from the boat deck down to F deck past the 4th funnel and forward of the stern well deck. 2nd class has only TWO public rooms, and ladies weren't permitted into the smoking room prior to WWI. Images of the staircase foyers show very little furniture. (the library and smoke room have very little furniture). The 2nd class dining saloon is large (room for 550), hence where did these 550 ppl entertain themselves when it wasn't meal time? The library is small, the foyers have few chairs, the promenades are small with few benches Also, the layout is odd. 550 ppl could be seated at once in the dining saloon but, there is no reception space outside the facility; where did they que for dinner? (I can only imagine 550 passengers literally lining up and down the stairwell waiting for the doors to open). Also, the library and smoking room aren't "opened" well to the ship, the aft door to these spaces (a single door) is located DIRECTLY behind the stern mast! Passengers would have to walk around the mast to access the door!!! Meanwhile, first class had the full length of the superstructure, squash court, gym, pool, Turkish Baths, massage areas, various lounges, smoke room, cafe's, palm courts, lobbies etc. Also, I'd argue 3rd class had more space than second. They had access to the full width of the ship, having the general and smoking room at the stern, and the general open space under the forward well deck. The dining saloon down on G deck was accessed using Scotland Road ... thus they often would walk the entire length of of the ship (to dine or use the forward space) Outside, 3rd class had the poop deck, the forward and aft well decks for outdoor usage. My conclusion is that second class passengers basically had one lounge and very little deck space to utilize during the crossing. I think that White Star Line new that 2nd class wasn't their bread and butter. Prior to sailing 2nd class passengers were allowed to tour first class - this was probably a promotional adventure in the hopes that at the start of the voyage, some 2nd class would opt to change their ticket to 1st class. I believe in her later career, the Olympic did away with 2nd and 3rd class and combined the two calling it "tourist second". The 3rd class dining saloon was used by the crew and the tourist class passengers used all the second class space plus the aft end third class rooms. (which were spruced up with plants and more chairs/tables).

second class on titanic was equivellent to first class on other ships of that time, second class on titanic was actually rather luxorious you can watch virtual tour of titanic interior on "Honor and Glory" youtube channel

@@jaguar4u2012 Thanks so much for your reply. My critique wasn't so much how the 2nd class area looked (the 2nd class library of the Britannic, preserved today, looks amazing) but, rather that it was poorly laid out, cramped and lacked basic amenities. My theory is that White Star knew that the bulk of their revenue was from 1st and 3rd thus, skimped out on 2nd. When fully booked, 2nd class could accommodate 550 passengers and yet, there are only 2 public rooms (one of which was off limits to ladies until 1920). Thus, one general lounge for that many people seems outrageous to me. Meanwhile, the staircase lobbies had very few chairs, and the promenade decks were small with few benches, thus were did 550 ppl occupy themselves all day? The dining Saloon looked grand but, I can't comprehend where (if full) 550 passengers would've waited before the the doors opened for dinner. There is a picture of the Olympics 2nd class pursers office and the space on the landing (equivalent to the landing on D-Deck) LITERALLY has space for three individuals to stand in a row - hence I can only think that before dinner, they all had to wait up and down the two staircases. Another awful feature is the single door to the 2nd class lounge ("the library") is LITEARLLY placed behind the aft-mast! It is crazy to position the doorway to the only unisex lounge in such an awkward spot. Later in her career, Olympic did away with 3rd class altogether and the stern 3rd class rooms were added to "Tourist 2nd class" .... that was probably a much better layout for those middle income passengers. When

@@Napp28 yeah, I know you meant the layout, it looks like a tower with two stairwells on each side, with promenades and public areas in the middle, and cabins at the bottom but I can find flaws in First Class too... hehe, even though its layout was the most conventional. anyhow, trust me you'd rather be in second class and not 3d, They had an elevator in second class, all the way from F deck to Boat deck... You must remember its an ocean liner, the passangers first priority is to get from Destination A to Destination B, its a 5 days trip, Equivellent to Long Hull Flights, people just need a place to stay, sleep and eat, all so the second class cabins were very much like the First Class Standart Cabins, ohh and the menu in second class was great it was worth the extra 20-30$ back in 1912

Especially TITANIC I wish I could have seen her just once or that her sister OLYMPIC wasn't scrapped.

Or flying in the air. That would also be a dream.

It was the pinnacle of ocean liners. After it, there has not been reason to build them in such scale anymore.

Agreed!!!

*The Queen Elizabeth weeps in the corner*

@@pRahvi0 The SS Queen Mary was indeed a fantastic ocean liner, but not the pinnacle. The design was in fact somewhat outdated with a non-bulbous bow when she was launched. The earlier SS Bremen and SS Europa for example had more modern designs. In terms of great design and similar or greater lengths, there have been quite a few after her. I'd rank the SS Normandie as the very best ocean liner ever (year: 1932, length: 1,029 ft). There are also the SS United States (the fastest ever; year: 1951, length: 990 ft) the SS France (year 1969, length: 1.035 feet 7 inches) and of course the sister ship SS Queen Elizabeth (year: 1938, length: 1,031 ft ).

@@truefilm6991 tbh, the Olympic class still sometimes gets completely lost to the massive shadow of the fame of QM1, it's kinda sad that Olympic, (being the most forgotten ship of the class) is almost always caught in that shadow... after all, she was for her time so advanced that she'd have a fame shadow 2x bigger than QM1's fame shadow upon her completion in the 1930s... that fame shadow of Olympic alomst completely disappeared after the Titanic disaster in april of 1912 but in MY heart, Olympic will always remain the number 1 GREATEST OCEAN LINER OF ALL TIME! she even makes the freedom ship look like a floating cardboard box with some white lines scribbled on top of it!

@@marcks-3980 Fantastic, welcome aboard!

It’s funny you should say that, Queen Elizabeth (QM’s sister) only had two funnels yet I think looks more ‘proper’. Maybe it’s to do with even numbers?

Long Beach has taken over operations, and I think it's all but confirmed that now she's closed while they make repairs. Glad she'll be sticking around, unless some disaster outside of their control comes along in the area

The SS United states would have been between Titanic and the Queen Mary, and I think the SS United states would be up to the Queen Mary's anchor at least. She was I think 10 meters longer than the state's. But still huge

I love lusitania too

That “meme” you mentioned is scaled improperly; the people on the modern ship are over 1 story tall compared to those in the image of Titanic ;)

@@DerpyPossum I wouldn't know, but it seemed interesting....

​​@@DerpyPossum True, yes they are twice size of Titanic but no ship today is over 100m longer yet (Keep cargo ships out of it 😂) so Titanic next to the symphony would be a very big difference but Titanic's length would still be a sight! The Queen Mary 1 is already long at like 312 meters at least, that isn't short length

Yea I agree, there are few cruise ships I would consider good looking. Or even average looking. Most look so....... I dont know. Top heavy? Cramped? Overthetop in a bad sense? And yes, they look fat and bulky, and many are lacking a real stern. But hey, now they have like 40 cinemas, 50 malls, 100 water slides, and an infinite number of pools in all different sizes. And yes, I know those numbers are way over the top, I just think... Its a bit too much sometimes. And I say that as someone, who adores the old ocean liners, and their first class decorations

Yes I plan on drawing and featuring a great many 19th century ocean liner in the near future :) ~Mike

@@OceanlinerDesigns great! I look forward to seeing them, I'll hope for some paddle steamers lol :)

Well her hull seems to be long and thin. But the way she is designed makes her seem small at some angles

Cheers Jeff, it is nice to see the all stacked up, famous and not-so-famous. That Liner is United State's precursor 'America', the vessel Francis Gibbs tested his ideas on prior to the United States. SS US is far bigger; if I had finished her already she would nestle between Titanic and Queen Mary. Thanks for your viewership and your kind words! ~Mike

SS america was smaller than the united states that's the ship in the video not the big U

Lusi was very well built, much better than Titanic.

@@Roc-Righteous not really. Lusi may have had a bit of a thicker hull but her whole design really didnt help at all during her sinking. Saying one is better built than the other seems useless to me as they werent built to the same requirements at all.

Same lusitania is my fav too Titanic just slightly big but at least lusitania have a few years career than titanic didnt even complete a voyage

@@mcshipbuilder2319 exactly

Well-put Andrew! ~Mike

I'm actually interested to hear your say on why is isn't 100x100 precise. I would have thought the Titanic is close to this comparison to queen mary. But there were other comparisons showing Titanic's funnels were actually the same height as the Mary's but this comparison doesn't show it.

Agreed, great channels!

Thanks
