Another excellent video!! Beautiful!

[@andrewbrendan1579]

A superlative ship. Thank you for sharing these great pictures. I'm wondering if the furniture we see was on the Bismarck/Majestic when she was taken over by the White Star Line or if the furniture came from furniture companies in Britain.

[@carlosiiideespana3712]

Andrew Brendan It doesn’t have the look of Harland and Wolff, so likely German. Some new furniture was probably added or subtracted though, although it appears to have remained mostly the same.

@@carlosiiideespana3712 agreed because when hamburg american line still have there hands on the ship her interiors where made with styles mixed in the competition some elements where from the olympic class like her panelings of her lounge some from Cunards trio so its really clear that Harland and wolf does not need to change things aside from some fernitures or maybe some cabins to fit white star

At 56,551 GRT, RMS Majestic was the largest ship in the world until completion of the SS Normandie in 1935.

[@CrazyBrosCael]

It's sad how such large floating palaces are now scrapped or at the bottom of the ocean except RMS QUEEN MARY in Long beach California

[@randomrazr]

because the are obsolete at the endof there time. and would cost a fortune to maintain

[@CrazyBrosCael]

randomrazr true

My Mother and Grandfather came to America on this ship in 1929.

[@jacobschweitzer1068]

This ship was used in the 1929 film atlantic

[@darthgrundle2349]

She was often referred too as the Magic Stick by the crew, and she truly was. It's such a shame these vessels were not preserved as Museums into our past. We have truly lost a bit of our humanity.

[@zeddeka]

You have to look at the era they existed in. There were far more important things than preserving ships in that period, such as providing livelihoods for people in the depression, or fighting wars. Preserving a ship when people were struggling to be able to afford to eat, or fighting to save their country, would have seemed incredibly flippant to people back then.

[@jamessidebottom5868]

Majestic a palace makes the ships that they build or throw together now look cheep and quite tasteless in style and appearance! come back white star line bring back HARLAND & WOLFF SHIP BUILDERS!

[@litamtondy]

You know this ship is German, right? I agree that ocean liners need to come back, though.

[@Schorschi1988]
