[@barrett206]

I’m going to be honest I kinda cried

[@747-pilot]

Also keep in mind that this was the beginning of the jet age, and consequently this was the “beginning of the end” for the glorious era of the large ocean going liners! While the ocean liners were barely clinging on to relevance during the 1960s, the arrival of the 747 in 1970, the first jumbo jet that could carry a massive number of people across the Atlantic in just 7 hours, killed off the last remnants of these once glorious rulers of the ocean! Definitely a sad end to a bygone era! But that is what we call progress!

[@sodorislandstudios]

@@747-pilot Progress is one thing, heck I know if I had a buissness meeting across the Atlantic in three days I would sure take the airliner! But the age of the ocean liner was a different time, and as such they affected so many peoples lives. The ocean liner continues to fade and the amount of interest unfortunately would be half what it is now without the Titanic which is all people seem to know about if you say ocean liner. Believe me I know what a 747 is and that's already being retired unfourtanetly. One day it may be perceived the same way as the ocean liner, fading into the constant movement of time. Both are incredible feats of human engineering and as such should be remembered. Even if the jet won the war the liner was the one who started it all.

The last being the former Belfast & County Down Railway bogie locomotive which was broken up in the early 1970's Along with Beardmore Harland & Wolff tried very hard to convince both the marine and railway worlds that diesel was the way forward.

[@JuanGarcia-vb3du]

My favorite old school motor-liners! Oceanic would have been Beautiful if completed. Royal Mail was cooking the books and spending White Star money on less profitable sister lines. Lord Kylsant (CEO of Royal Mail) was sentenced to 1 year in prison. Georgic was hit hard by the attack and was known to officers/sailors as the corrugated lung after her reconstruction. Britannic suffered from a broken crankshaft in 1960 and as a result was sent to the breakers. Think the original plan was to replace the big four (Celtic, Cedric, Baltic and Adriatic) with Britannic Class motor liners. Always look forward to viewing your videos. Great work!

10:15, like someone said below, you stating that the departure of Britannic from New York Harbor signaled the final departure of the White Star Line really hit me hard. I have been a maritime historian specializing in the Titanic ever since I was 6 years old and saw a Ken Marschall painting of the Titanic sinking. That was 31 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. Titanic has and always will hold a special fascination for me, so to hear that was the final departure of the last remaining White Star ship really hit me hard.

[@PassiveSmoking]

I seem to recall reading that at in an earlier iteration Oceanic was going to have 4 funnels and look rather like an enlarged Olympic-class with a more contemporary cruiser-style stern design.

[@Kaidhicksii]

That is true. They went through a couple of designs before they settled on the design we're most familiar with. I actually heard when viewing another 3D artwork of the ship by the talented Anton Lognivenko that there was a possible fourth design where the ship could've been 1,080 feet long - as if 1,050 feet wasn't big enough already. Whether or not this is true though I can't confirm.

Like what would that be like. Would the Oceanic end up as a floating hotel in Long Beach? Would Oceanic be more popular that the Normandie? Would it have a sister ship? Would White Star survive till the 21st century? I really wanna see what would have happened.

In January, 1950 my maternal grandparents sailed on the Britannic from England to Bermuda where my family lived. It was their first post-war trip, and I was eight years old and remember their arrival. Unfortunately my grandfather's health was not good, and Bermuda's summer warmth disagreed with him, so in May he flew to New York to sail back to UK aboard the Georgic nwhich was an austerity ship by then. Grandma followed by air in September, 1950. I have a photograph of her aboard the Brirannic, holding a Britannic life-ring.

So now that I learned a bit more about Britannic III and Georgic, Titanic is actually White Star’s biggest passenger liner overall, not counting the ships they bought and the ships during the merge of Cunard White Star. Britannic is White Star’s largest ship overall, but that was a hospital ship when it was done with construction. It’s charming to me though that Britannic III lasted that long from late 1920s to 1961. I also love that Cunard still reminds us all about White Star on April 15th each year, but having White Star’s flag on all ships to honor Titanic.

This is so sad, to think all of the work white star put into their vessels and cared for their passengers just for the maiden voyage to be one last quick goodbye. It must’ve been emotional:(

[@christopheralthouse6378]

I have to say though, as bittersweet as the end of both of those ships was, at least they all did manage to survive long enough to see the scrapyards. While this isn't the focus of the story, one should also take some special notice of RMS Olympic's involvement during that time. RMS Olympic would've been the oldest of the four ships pressed into wartime service as she was the sole survivor of the Olympic class of liners...a class which included the ill-fated vessels HMHS Brittanic (second to bear the name) and, most infamously, the RMS Titanic...yes, the very Titanic captained by Edward John Smith on her ill-fated maiden voyage where she struck an iceberg and sank in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. RMS Olympic was the only vessel of her class to actually prove to be unsinkable as she saw numerous impact disasters during her 26 years of maritime service and survived every single one, earning her the nickname "Old Reliable" during her time as a troop transport ship. White Star Line may have failed after Titanic's sinking...but clearly some valuable lessons were learned if one can judge the examples of these final ships and their survival to eventually see the scrapyards. That the very last of these could be so badly damaged yet still be salvaged, repaired and returned to service says a lot. It helps when one can end well...and I think it is safe to say that White Star Line did just that...ending well... 💖💖💖💖
