The Current Fleet - a Size Comparison of all my Ocean Liner Ships

This is a digital comparison of all the ships I have drawn and 3D printed over the last few years.
A majority are traditional transatlantic liners in the period from 1850 to 1950.
Here is a short symbol explanation:
Mill bucket - scrapping
Sunken ship with cross - disaster with loss of life
Sunken ship - Sunken without loss of life
Museum - Museum :)
Sack with swords - spoils of war or repair payment
The following ships are compared:
Santa Maria
TUG Hector
SS Nomadic
Mackey Bennett
SS Storstad
SS Californian
SS Frankfurt
SS GOYA
RMS Empress of Irland
SS General von Steuben
RMS Carpathia
SS City of New York
RMS Teutonic
RMS Republic (1903)
SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse
SS Cap Arcona
RMS Cedric
RMS Celtic
MV Wilhelm Gustloff
SS Great Eastern
RMS Oceanic (II)
Edmund Fitzgerald
RMS Baltic (II)
RMS Adriatic (II)
RMS Lusitania
RMS Mauretania
HMHS Britannic
RMS Titanic
RMS Olympic
RMS Aquitania
SS Bremen
RMS Queen Mary

If you have been researching for 55 years then you know that many of the old injection molded plastic kits from the 1960's and 70s had a lot more detail than these, or maybe building model kits has never been your thing. To a real modeler, these are all stone basic.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

@@drewburt4315 yes but for something that came out of a machine you can buy and run from your home they are pretty damn impressive.

@Leandro Sun. The S.S. NORMANDIE caught fire, while at dock, during a refitting at N.Y.C, in 1942 (as the ship were in U.S. waters, at the start of WWll, the U.S. government, commandeered it). While firefighters we're pouring an immense amount of water on it, the S.S. NORMANDIE rolled over, to the starboard side, and sunk at dock. You may of seen the famous photograph, of a ship lying on it's side, at dock, on many documentaries (War, or ship)!!!

[@suede7799]

I can't understand why design of the ship is going to ugly and ugly nowdays

[@HistoricalOceanLiners]

Nowadays, it's all about the luxury inside and on the ship. There are very few passengers today who care about the appearance of a ship. Therefore, no one has to make an effort any more. In addition, modern design is much more economical in terms of floor space. In the end, this is also the decisive criterion why the design of ships is interchangeable at will.

Olympic was virtually identical to TITANIC so scrapping it was a MASSIVE mistake. They coulda kept it and turned it into a museum. Give people a full perception of what the TITANIC was like. Plus it was made by the White Star Line making it an authentic piece of history.

[@thecapitalist9904]

White Star Line needed money so they had to scrap olympic

People were out of jobs in the mid-1930's due to the Great Depression, so ship scrapping provided a big boost to jobs and local economies at the time (for better or for worse).

These are incredible models, and I'm impressed with the fact that you actually researched physical differences within the classes of ships. I would like to see Olympic as it appeared in WWI, and as she appeared after the sinking of Titanic (with a full row of davits). There are only two mistakes that I could spot. 1 - HMHS Britannic did not have a rear well deck and 2 - The Edmund Fitzgerald was American, not Canadian.

[@HistoricalOceanLiners]

Thank you, I made this mistake with the Fitzgerald, but what could be wrong with the Britannic?
