Cool vid

[@Titanicboys_Aviation]

I love this video and I like your channel

[@brober]

Great vid!👍

[@Robert-yp9zs]

There is something so majestic seeing a ship being launched down a slipway. Having attended several, they never tire being an awesome event. Even better is being along side the actual slipway and witnessing the hull sliding into the water. The current "launching" via flooding a drydock is nowhere as imposing.

[@zeddeka]

They never tire or you never tire of seeing them?

[@fmyoung]

2:50 That was the Olympic before the Titanic's sinking; she didn't have her full lifeboat complement yet

[@Cray-tk1ew]

Ofc she hasn't because it's just her launching

[@fmyoung]

@@Cray-tk1ew Ofc that wasn't after the Titanic's sinking

[@scooterman3]

ofc we gonna have drama

[@fmyoung]

@@scooterman3 Ohhh

[@fmyoung]

4:15 Giuseppe Verdi, Italy's great opera composer (Aida, La Traviata, Nabucco and many others), died in January of that year. He was 87

[@forestghost7]

great video thanks for all your work, I've subbed 😊. BTW, as a wee lad I traveled on both Queens and SS United States at very end of their service, so this vid hits me hard

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

Hey I really appreciate it! Also, that must've been quite the experience huh!

[@Enrevibility]

Damn the Oceanic was the ship Arthur Morgan was on in that one mission.

[@Raykin225]

Aarrrrggh I broke the goddamn wheel! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@fmyoung]

10:30 I hear the Great Eastern had a double hull which enabled her to survive a collision with an uncharted rock needle off Montauk Point, Long Is. thanks to her double hull and strong transverse braces. The rock needle was later named Great Eastern Rock

[@ritacompagnone2161]

Wonderful!

[@fmyoung]

11:06 That was the year Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto

[@fmyoung]

5:54 Sir Edward Elgar who wrote the Pomp and Circumstance marches died in February that year

[@fmyoung]

5:54 Until the Queen Mary's launch the Olympic had been the largest British-built vessel for 21yrs

[@noob_10152]

There is ONE known video of titanic during fitting out before she was given her enclosed promenade deck 1912 this would be the one difference between her sister olympic

[@fmyoung]

2:53 That was the year of Halley's comet

[@fireyjrfan1]

0:42 were the engines running or was it just the flow of water spinning it?

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

The engines were not installed, it was the flow of water spinning the propellers

[@c.f.pedraza4057]

They had to throw it in neutral and let the ship roll back to start the engine low key.

[@Tylerz_theman]

Hi

[@Titanicboys_Aviation]

0:08 imperator 0:38 oceanic II

[@Titanicboys_Aviation]

I your 7th viewr

[@SteamPowerMadness]

Did the Oceanic have her engines fitted and running at launch, or were her propellers just freewheeling?

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

No engines were installed yet. The propellers were just spinning from the flow of water

[@ryantimm9748]

I am curious why some of these vessels were launched with their screws installed and some not? 🤔

[@bijalpatel-keogh4122]

What is the music called at approximately 9:08 mins into this video please? We really want to know 🙏

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

That music is called: W. A. Mozart, Symphony No.38 in D major It’s a really nice piece of music!

[@bijalpatel-keogh4122]

Thank you so much! We love it.

[@fmyoung]

2:59 Contrary to popular belief the Titanic received fairly little attention and publicity; the Olympic as her older sister got the bulk of that

[@BrianTP2205]

5:57

[@Epic_Fighter_Marksman_Ixia]

No RMS CARPATHIA Launch Ship

[@rayzimmerkoch5609]

What about the Edmund fitzgerald

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

Not an ocean liner

[@Cray-tk1ew]

​@@nboceanlinerhistory true bcuz edmud Fitzgerald is an cargo ship I think

[@georgetamkc]

@@Cray-tk1ewit is a cargo vessel or a ocean liner so you are correct

[@prisanaboonwang9762]

Huh

[@jaeljoren_12]

what if queen mary is a ghost haunted ship??? 🤨

[@fmyoung]

0:08 "Imperator" means "emperor" in Latin

[@Ringo-hw6pw]

It is emperor in GERMAN

[@fmyoung]

In German it's Kaiser, Imperator is Latin

[@fmyoung]

12:48 Oh so there was a second Mauretania

[@monsieurcommissaire1628]

Yes. Pretty little 2-stacker.

[@matthewblouin4267]

How can you forgot The Carpathia put that ship in part 2 if you do

[@WhiteStarLineEdits1912]

I don’t know if there’s a photo or video of ship launch

[@fmyoung]

1:43 "Rex" which means "king" in Latin

[@Celina-n5f]

The Mauritania looks weird when launched 😂😅😂😅

[@noob_10152]

Cunard never gave lusitamia or Mauretania there super structure until the fitting out process

[@noob_10152]

Also never knew there was a second mauretania until this video

[@Kyeabdemmie123]

Where’s Britannic?

[@fmyoung]

10:09 Mickey Mouse made his debut that year on Sunday November 18th

[@janainamoura2417]

Where is Empress of Ireland

[@jhiropereyra2716]

What about the queen elizabeth 2

[@janainamoura2417]

Was there

[@fmyoung]

12:22 "Vaterland" means "homeland" in German

[@fmyoung]

12:36 Bavaria? Landlocked Bavaria?!

[@mbj1138]

Yes. Even Bavarians were able to travel to German shores at the time ;)

[@WhereisCamel]

[@johnmcbride8211]

Put the TITANIC in the video the titanic is the most famous ship how could anyone forget the titanic

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

Titanic DOES appear in the video. How could you miss it? Check at 4:43

[@IvanCastillo-pk4gc]

I bet you skipped through the video

[@janainamoura2417]

Just not the video of the launch itself

[@monsieurcommissaire1628]

Not all launches were filmed. White Star /Harland & Wolff weren't into big launch events. Edit: Oops. Shows how much I know. Titanic's launch was filmed, but the film was lost. Now, that would be a find ...

[@HarriBlyat_Hd]

You mean rms majestic? At 5:08

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

Yes RMS Majestic was launched as the German liner "Bismarck" in 1914

[@taylorebenguard6998]

imperator you mean limperator right? lmao

[@Titanicboys_Aviation]

NO!

[@taylorebenguard6998]

@@Titanicboys_Aviation you know that was a common nick name for it right?

[@fmyoung]

6:25 Good thing she was rechristened Britannic; the name Gigantic would've been too plain. for one thing, and they were already building bigger ships in Germany

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

Britannic was never christened in general. Also, there is no record that the White Star Line intended to name Britannic “Gigantic”

[@fmyoung]

@@nboceanlinerhistory There's mention of "Gigantic" in some docs

[@amaritineenthusiast]

​@@fmyoungI've never been able to find them, where are they?

​@@amaritineenthusiast "Highlighted reply" Yea unfortunately I don't remember the names of those docs it's been quite a while too so they might not exist anymore
