Down Memory Lane: The Liners

[MrRoBeRt1087]

really wish I was born early enough to be around at the time of these great ocean liners!

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Wonderful to see this video again after 6 months. All those Liners! AHHH, they're so Beautiful!!

[hoppy82]

What a wonderfull piece of edited film....I really enjoyed watching and I liked the Southampton parts as I live in Southampton ah memories...

[DanielHami23]

I would of loved to sail on one of those great ships with their Beauty, Luxury and big sized ships from 30,000 tons to 83,673 tons or something like that cause those ships to me are proper ships with their old fashioned hulls, bows and sterns and their smokestacks, superstructure and luxury just sounds perfect for me I'm 20 years old now but i would like to sail on a ship like these ones such as Olympic (Sister of Titanic), Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth etc and many others

thumbs up if u agree

[DanielHami23]

@DanielHami23 But most of them are now scrapped which is very very sad and the Queen Mary is now a hotel and museum in Long Beach, California.

[ChrisVaughn85]

I for one am for making a titanic replica...with modern tech but same fitting funiture ect!

[GreatEasternBrunel]

@ChrisVaughn85 yup, same here but i am for making a working replica of the fabled French Liner SS Ile de France. Modern tech (diesel-electric) but same beautiful interiors as the original.

[eddiereddie]

Great Video.

[yes4albert]

Another excellent video! Thank you!!

[SuperTitanicfreak]

When come to Ships, I can,t control myself. I am so gule to these Ocean Liners

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Wow! The Ocean Liners are so beautiful. I love how Queen Mary looks.

[victorbrunswick]

Adding to LedZepp's list of the plusses of ocean liners vs. airliners: 

5. You're treated like royalty rather than cattle or cargo.

[victorbrunswick]

What are the songs in this medley? The only one I recognize is "Vagabond Lover."

[leavenworthkd]

0:36-0:52 Wow that's a lot of ocean liners....maybe their having a party.....

[MrRoBeRt1087]

very good video :)

[werksdesign]

The days of classic ocean liners are gone. Even todays ships, even though bigger, are only a shadow of the once great liners. I prefer to sail on a ship where I know I'm actually on a voyage.... not some mega ship that reminds me I'm at a shopping mall back home.

[alifajardo1999]

What is the vessel's name that is saluting Queen Mary?

[alifajardo1999]

2:11 is that Britannic II?

[allegheny48]

Hello Aaron1912. What a wonderful suprise to hear theatre organ music on this video. My all time favorite instrument. The British Wurlitzers were voiced slightly different from their American counterparts and that is what made them unique. The tradition is being carried on by many fine English organists such as Simon Gledhill, Richard Hills, etc. Thanks again.

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

this is how people should travel, there are so many benifets over planes:

1. no jet lag

2. u have a comfortable cabn with a bed, not an uncomfortable seat

3. sure it takes a few days but its enjoyable

4. these are far more safer than planes

these are just a few . there is so many more points.

[Superkirby64]

MUSIC IS PWNAGE!

[scaremenga]

That final shot at 3:02 symbolizes something, the eventual domination of transportation by aircraft. A metallic, new aircraft flying above a stained (cannot think of the correct term) Queen Elizabeth.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

omg! I dream about Ocean Liners everynight! even about the 4 Liners I hpoe to build. I would love to sailed on Queen Elizabeth.

[gdcat777]

I had a dream the other night that I was on Aquitania. I could see wood panelling, the furniture, and carpets. At dinner, I was at a table with a woman and man from Spain. I remember distinctly holding on to the interior wood railing down the corridor in rough seas. If only those liner days could return.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

To sailed on every Liner Lusitania, Mauretania, Aquitania, Olympic, Titanic, Britannic, & Queen Mary

[Galaxar94]

modern cruise ships and ocean liners look horrible these days, the designers only concentrated on cramming as much stuff into the ships as possible, the older ships looked sooooo much nicer, although i've always disliked the look of all the Cunard ships, they all look too bulky

[Dirtboy101]

@Galaxar94 I agree. The White Star liners are more slick and smooth.

[Squarerig]

AAron 1912 I went to sea in 1952 and we were still building some of the finest ships in the world.When they still looked like ships not the floating casino/brothels called "cruise ships" of today.Great music,isn't it?Thank you for the posting.

[kimba722]

check up the coastal expressvessel Nordstjernen, many clips of her here on youtube. she is a real good oldie, what is even better she still sail her original route!

[lordandrei1991]

what are cruise ships? Just floating fun parks...nothing special. They don't have the pleasure and the respect of an ocean liner... so bad that only one is active in present...maybe in the future, when we will have huge eco-friendly electric engines this era will be reborn.

[Ourumov66]

I would have liked to see what it was like to live during the golden age of ocean travel, and be caught up in the hysteria of the Queen Mary or SS Normandie, I think that would be wonderful

[alattawy]

what is this song

[Zebonka]

Bring 'em back!

[GKG33]

0:13 what ship is that?

[Zebonka]

Looks like the Ivernia to me (1954-73). If anyone knows better, please correct me!

[ATSF7]

The Cunarder RMS Saxonia

[nombreelejido]

the secuence where the two sisters salute eachother is breathtaking!!

and the plane at the end, that shows that the plane will ruin the ocean travels, this video is perfect!!!!

[eleventhdr]

yeah all of them together somehow some way at the very same time at the very same place and then what would you do with a shot like that

this vid ahs the effect of an old time nickolodian

[britishoceanliners]

really interesting to see the boat train footage with it as well. Thank you.

[Zaktan12]

I wish these kind of liners were still sailing today, so what they would be outdated but these were the best ships ever

[marisaregua]

What's the name music that you put in this video?

[Aaron1912]

Just a various selection of music from the Blackpool Tower Wurlizter Organ cds.

[sigft25]

The first song is called "Somebody's wrong"

[Caspinovish]

Nice! I am from Sweden and i love ocean liners.

[queenmaryrulz]

cool vid. in shot 00:30, what dock was that?

[Aaron1912]

Southampton.

[Riku1135]

Bergenia, Majestic, Olympic, Mautitania/ Aquitania, and possibly Homeric in that shot. I think the one with a single funnle is a HAPAG line ship

[3551933]

Fantastic !!!!!

[nombreelejido]

absolutelly marvelous!!fantastic!!!Im a sailor, and I have been studying ocean liners since I was a child, I loved this video. goes directly to my favourites, It maked me cry, is touching for me , I love it, great job, what is the music? take care

[lewisajax]

where did you get that footage from?

[TitanicExpert]

Why did they get rid of the liners and replace them with stinky diesal cruise ships? They were the greatest.

[Caspinovish]

Well... Queen mary 2 is a ocean liner but the old liners was the best

[TitanicExpert]

That's not what I heard. She's a cruise ship.

[Caspinovish]

Hmm... it is maybe a ocean-cruiser hehehe.

[chrisr19897]

I think Queen Mary 2 is what the industry would refer to as a 'multi-purpose' vessel. Whilst being built primarily for the express service to New York and North America in the winter season (April to November) it can also be easily transferred over to cruise service (i.e. ex-UK roundtrip, Northern Europe, Carribean etc...) for the rest of the year with minimal fuss.

[PatrioticandProud73]

Absolutely Fantastic footage!

[forestghost7]

I kno why we dont see ships like this no more...only hideous floating boxes. unfortunatly these graceful old designs just didnt have enough passenger room to pay for the HUGE amounts of oil they burned...like SS United States @ 600 tons a day OMG. I was blessed enough to have been on that and both Queens when I was little ...I remember it like yesterday ... its real sad theyre gone :( PLEASE HELP SAVE THE SS UNITED STATES ITS NOT TOO LATE!!!! much info on line

[monroegerman]

very nice music...

and very nice Oceanliners !!!

[lasuvidaboy]

Thankfully the beautifully restored ss Rotterdam of 1959 will soon be returning to her permanent home in Rotterdam.

[pierre1920]

That it is the title of the music ?

[Napp28]

I think a shipping line such as "Carnivals Cunard" would make a lot of money if they designed a modern ship to look like an older vessel. Sure they would be completely up to date regarding technology but, an "older" looking Liner would probably be very popular.

I HATE the single-back funnel of the modern Queens!

[chrisr19897]

If you think so strongly about it why not write to Cunard's CEO - I'd be interested to hear what she has to say.

[majaorca100]

I totally agree

[chrisr19897]

I would love to know WHERE you get this fantastic footage from of all the old favouirtes, particularly of the Queens Mary and Elizabeth passing each other in mid-Atlantic. Would like to see more film of the old Queen Elizabeth though - there's not enough of it.

[EVILDALEK]

why dont we see ships like them today

[majaorca100]

it's such a shame! Today there are no passenger ships anymore, only floating passenger bricks.

[titanicboss]

there is queen mary, queen elizabeth, aquatania, RMS Olympic mejestic,

[keepthemusicplaying0]

Great video. A few days ago we saw in Sydney Queen Elizabeth II visiting for the last time before being turned into a hotel in Florida, and Queen Victoria - the latest Cunard maxi-ship cross each other under our Harbout Bridge. Lots of hooting and waving at sunset. Quite a spectacle! Thanks for posting.

[CunardProductions94]

Not in Florida. In Dubai, please if you want to lie please take note!

[keepthemusicplaying0]

My apologies, it was an honest mistake. You are quite right, it is in Dubai of course. Thank you for correcting me. As an adendum, I did not intend to LIE. Hmpf, bad mood?

[CunardProductions94]

Well, sorry. bad mood indeed! So stressed up in school. By the way, I will be sending off QE2 in Singapore.

[cellodudex]

Hey..brilliant vid...good to see so many of the old liners..nice soundtrack - is it David Lobban at the Tower Wurlitzer playing?

[cattleman6420012000]

I just absolutely love ships and trains.Travelling through airports has become so tedious and tiring. Thanks so much for these incredible videos from the past.They mean an enormous amount to me and many other people I am certain.

[pierre1920]

nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kspm01]

Thank you for showing these wonderful views from a bygone era.

[HarborGuy]

With all the mess at the airports I sometimes with we were able to go back to Liners and Trains......

[cattleman6420012000]

Thank you so much for showing this. I travelled on the Mauretania2 when I was a boy. Also the SS America and the Maasdam in about 1955. The liners have always meant so much to me.

[ethanstein]

wow u really must hav seen sum fine ships in ur time. u should post a video about all the ships u hav seen in ur life. (with all do respect)

thankz

[cattleman6420012000]

ethanstein. Unfortunately I don't have videos of them,just wonderful memories.The world lost a wonderful form of travel when the liners stopped ( It must have been terrible in the engine rooms though).I fanatically love anything to do with these fantastic ships.

[ethanstein]

me 2

i luv learning about the age of wonderful ships like these

[theshipman]

That makes 3 of us(and a lot more, I'd recken).
