If she hadnt sunk, there'd be like 19 people today who knew anything about her. Instead, today theres more _conspiracy theories_ about her than that.

[@wolfinhiding7857]

This is so true. I remember learning about it for the first time in 7th grade, 1997, and I felt bad for the ship and I wanted to know more about it. That lead me into WW2 battleships, which are my favorite warships, besides submarines. I wish that WW2 style battleships still sailed. I would love to see, hear and feel a battleships guns fire, I bet it would be amazing in person.

As it was said during WW2, the venerable Aquitania (by this point the only true four-funnelled liner still sailing) was often older than the majority of her passengers, and yet she was loved by most who sailed on her.

Mike, I am rapidly running out of superlatives for this channel. You have truly realised the Edwardian era of ship design, not just by these stunning visuals, but now also by the soundtrack too.

I'm thinking we will indeed see more installments. The three-stackersvwere something of a brief interlude between the four and two-stackers, but some of the greatest and most iconic ships had three funnels...Normandie; Queen Mary; the "Imperator Class" in both original German form and later American and British guise; Empress of Britain; Île de France... Of course, the "deux- cheminée" liners were many and there were no shortage of great ships among them.

It's honestly such a shame Britannic never sailed as a passenger ship. She would've been the finest ship ever built, and maybe there would be a chance for her to have survived to the present day.

[@allidragon7041]

Some people say the gantry davits make Britannic a bit cluttered looking, but to me, it shows she's prepared and capable to take priority in an emergency. Following the loss of their sister, she and Olympic were made stronger and truly unsinkable. Well, that's how it should've been for Britannic, but WW1 thought otherwise. Britannic did fight to the end, though, and thanks to her extra lifeboats, almost all on board her got off unharmed. The Olympic class were meant to be Britain's last word in size and luxury, but ultimate tragedy and blood ridden conflicts took two of them away, with one left alive. Alone. Olympic should NEVER have been scrapped. Think of how popular she would be as a floating hotel today.

For me 4 funnel ships are the pinnacle of ocean liners in general. They're the pinnacle oand transition of 19th century to 20th century technology but also they are the most beautiful ships ever. Oh sure other ships afterwards were gorgeous as well but I don't think they can ever truly stand up to the beautiful artwork both inside and outside of 4 funnel ships. I'm loving this series so far and can't wait to watch part 3 talk about the war time service and the after effects of said war. Though your channel and many others have talked about it quite a bit but is still wonderful to hear about them and watch these CGI recreations of a bygone era Thank you as always Mike Brady keep up the great work made your videos truly make my day.

I don't remember where I heard it, but after world war II, RMS Aquitania was sailing near Italy, and from the mainland, the marines radio'd the ship saying "Unknown Four-Stacker, identify yourself." to which the captain cheekily said "We're the only four-stacker left in the world." and just thinking about that exchange makes me laugh to this day. Excellent video, a great time capsule explaining the golden age of the ocean liner. Also I must say that French pronunciation was very good. Looking forward to the next video!

For me personally, this documentary means a lot- my favourite ocean liners in general are the four-stacker ones. My favourite ocean liner is also a four-stacker- the RMS Aquitania. Her career and look, especially her interior, both really fascinate me! Can't wait for part three!

Lovely moving footage of some of the great (but often overlooked) early ocean greyhounds starting at 3:32. Looks like one of the HAPAG there-stackers from the early 1890s backing out of the New York pier. Although those were fairly modest ships size-wise, this one looks a half mile long! They were so low and sleek and elegant. The footage of the bow of the Lucania right after is equally impressive! It's a shame that not more motion picture footage from that era has survived, there was likely a whole lot in its day but the material just didn't last. In many ways, those liners from just before the turn of the last century hold a very special fascination for me...

[@mikedicenso2778]

It really hurts seeing Britannic as the ocean liner she was intended to be. It's one of the great things about Honor and Glory's "Britannic: Patroness of the Mediterranean" mini-game's features that allows you to explore her interiors as well as exteriors as an ocean liner instead as a hospital ship and see many of the things that might've been. And while most of it is pretty straight-forward or was already there on her sisters, there's a number of unique differences that make her stand out, such as the deck housing added to the stern to expand the 3rd class smoking room, the children's nursery, and the addition of the German-made pipe organ on the A-deck landing of the forward grand staircase, as well as bathrooms for nearly every cabin. Had she not been sunk in WW1, she would've been a force to be reckoned with on the trans-Atlantic run.

Who else thinks old liners and even cargo ships at their worst look way better then the outside of modern cruise ships

[@NBSV1]

Especially the ocean liners are designed to be sleek and fast. Modern cruise ships are hotels that happen to float and lumber along. The difference in something made for transportation and something made for vacation.

They should make a ocean liner based on all of these ships or just put queen Mary back in service. It's commercial boom would make Cunard super rich. I would ride it tbh

NGL came here for the music after hearing the string band is doing it.

Superb documentary. The graphics are top. And man, 4-funnel ocean liners look the best by far. Superb ships. The Titanic though takes the prize, in my vision. It looked gorgeous inside and outside and every other ship before and even after Titanic simply lacks something in the design.

Cool video. Correction: Carmania & Caronia played no part in the decision to fit Lusitania/Mauretania with turbines. This is a common error that has been passed down through the years. In reality, a committee of experts decided in March 1904 to equip the new Cunarders with direct-drive turbines. The Caronia and Carmania did not enter service until 1905. The data gathered was contradictory in several respects. Although it was initially reported that Carmania was a knot faster than Caronia, long term experience showed that the direct-drive turbine was best used in ships designed for high speed and was not a good choice for vessels of moderate speed.

I've watched this like 6 tines and often fall asleep to this playing

[@DoWutNow90]

Is there any ships currently on the ocean that offer this experience?

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

For comfort and luxury probably a carnival cruise. They haven't made ships like this since the queen mary. It would be nice to see a ship like these again

Your content is already in my opinion top notch. But Im impressed watching Ocean Liner Designs grow so fast in just a few years. You can bet on me ordering some prints with my employee bonus this quarter. Stellar work!

Four stacked liners were far from the front of liners' size ranking. However an informed shipslover can name the most famous names, like Kronprinz Wilhelm, Kpzn. Cecilie, France, Mauretania, Aquitania and Olympic. In their cases it was by no means size that counted. Their fame was of another kind.
