Beautiful ship...neither she nor Conte di Savoia deserved the fates they got.

[mhipiman]

it sink in slovenia and he got a twin but i foget the name

[84lky]

That part of the coast between Koper and Izola is still known as "By Rex". There's also a commemorative plate at the site.

[annanoli]

what you mean at 4:06 a Diesel engine running? Rex had turbo sets

[SuperTitanicfreak]

The only reason the British sank the Rex was that since Italy wasn't our enemy anymore, she had become Germany's enemy & they were after Rex. So Rex had it easy. The German's wanted to blow her to pieces.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

The Rex was such a wonderful ship. Rex was the only Italian Liners that can go for speed. But still.... Rex was a floating art palace. It hurts to see her destroy like that. Italy wasn't even a enemy anymore.

[MrSubidu]

People will always be so sooo stupid. They just destroy..and destroy....And ship.. what a ship that was!

[djgiack]

I DONT LIKE ITALIANS MUCH THEY KILLED MY GRANDFATHER THEY DESERVED IT NO OFFENSE ITALY

[ZeroGal5]

@TheGigmus1 no one deserved anything. my mother is %50 Italian and my grandfather is %100 Italian. they are very loving and kind people, but they were (unfortunately) guided in the wrong direction in WW2. i'm sorry about your grandfather, but it's no reason to dislike someone. besides, my great grandfather was killed by Germans, and yet i don't dislike them. the past cannot be undone, only accepted for the painful thing it is. enjoy your holiday!

Excellent video. It is so sad the things that can be lost to war. A beautiful ship. A work of art. At that point in the war the Allies could have waited and used her to transport soldiers home. I hate to say it but the British can be down right cruddy when they want to be.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Why couldn't the Italians save Rex. No Liner & I MEAN NO Ocean Liner has to go though the undignify fate of being scrapped. GOD, That gets me worked up & so full of Hate!!!

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Italy wasn't even a enemy anymore, I understand that they had to keep Rex from the Germans, but couldn't she have been sunk in much deeper waters.

[AJMonza]

@SuperTitanicfreak yes, americans have been very cruel with us, they destroyed an unharmed boat (with people on it!!!)

[MasterBattle2000]

its a beautiful ship but a strange name normally ships are thought to be feminine and are given names with a sort of assoication with females

[philco6505]

Thanks. This Itlalian-America (two generations out from the homeland) apppreciates the tribute. The Rex was the greatest liner Italy ever produced; and she may well have been the greatest liner ever produced.

The tune brought me to tears; but, I appreciated it.

A fine job. To the Rex!

[prudenceislandboy]

Andrea Doria, eat your heart out..Rex has always been my favorite Italian liner.

[gabriel120609]

That was the finest way or travelling ever!!!Planes are obviously faster nowadays, but we can`t compare this, i mean.Would someone travel from Italy to NY in a plane sitting in a small seat in tourist class when we can spend six faboulous days crossing the Atlantic in this magnificent pice of art???Some things had gone because of technology and that's a real shame...

[5ra46]

why all nice things come to an end? too early end. i vote that they make replicas from the most famous steamers, cause i wanna take a long trip... ;)

[gabriel120609]

I'm totally agree with you.We want the '30 travelling back!!!

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Rex was the dreamship of the early 30s. I would sailed anywhere on her this beautiful Ocean Liner.

[SteveSpicerPortsmuth]

Pardon me but who did this cover of R.E.M.'s "Everybody hurts"?

I prefer the original song and generally dislike covers.

[Ourumov66]

fucking facists always ruining things that are beautiful about the world

[Benoit1911]

That's British who sank the SS Rex !!!

[31051935]

Thanks for this wonderfull vide. The WWII brought not only the end of some millions people, but also for a few hundred ships, and some highlights, than REX, Normandie, Champlain ....

Very emotional film.

[Maasdam1993]

Statendam, Empress of Brittan, Conta di Savoya, Bremen, Balaroen, Dempo etc.

[kevoreka]

I live in town where ss Rex is sunken.I have seen her remains few years ago.There are still some recognazible parts if you know how the ship looked.

[ciletsak2]

my fother is a scuba diver

my father is a rex fanatic

[majaorca100]

touching video! The person who sings the song is an awesome singer...is she the same singer as from the Normandie (part 3, when she's towed to the scrapyard) video?

[majaorca100]

What a waste of such a great liner....beautiful video once again

[annanoli]

nice vid. but why you added diesels at 4:04?

[fistocruz]

The south of Italy at that time was full of farmers mafia people and comunist parties , and that's why there were a lots of partisans and people that move to Argentina or USA, even some serve in the American Army, while the north was a socialist party with industrial cities and rulal people, that's why Italy was really hard to command and that's why the north survive into the Axis until the end of the war

[nomartini1]

beautifully edited.

[exeuroweenie]

God those Italian liners were gorgeous,from the first Augustus through to the Michelangelo and Raffaelo.

[frankfranklyn]

A very fitting tribute and deeply touching to watch. Thank you for hooking up from my channel.

~F~

Gli Inglesi vollero dimostrare la loro schiacciante vittoria, la loro indiscutibile superiorità, attaccando un simbolo della potenza Italiana, emblema di una nazione di secondo rango che aveva, nonostante tutto, osato sfidarla.

[Peppein2273]

Que elegancia!!!!....Fabuloso barco.

[chrisjordan4295]

The ittalion liners were some of the toghest liners out there

[GPAGraceTrain]

We can thank Hitler of course, evil man caused many deaths, even elegant ships--sad.

[templedread]

Awesome! I have to make another beautiful liners tribute... Why should a ship like this be a target of war...

[JoannaColemanND]
