[snakedmg10]

Videos wow:)

[Nonniegirl4Ever]

You are keeping the memory of these ships alive by showing this clip! Been a transatlantic maritime enthusiast since I was a little girl.

[MrSven5678]

Are any of those first ships with 2 stacks the RMS Umbria

[1Historygenius]

Awesome video nice to peice all these videos together of these great liners. What is the name of the first song in the video.

[Aaron1912]

[wills883]

[Aaron1912]

You Ain't The One

[MrRoBeRt1087]

@Aaron12 Thank you, and I thought it was one of the Hamburg-American line liners. Your videos of ocean liners are fantastic!

[MrRoBeRt1087]

@Aaron1912 whats that harbour all the liners are at on the "call of the giants bit.

Also, which ship is it at 1:14 ?

[Aaron1912]

I think it was Southampton. The ship at 1:14 is the White Star liner Majestic.

[LeonhardMunich]

@MrRoBeRt1087

The ship at 1:14 is Cunards RMS Berengaria, former the SS Imperator of HAPAG.

[Maasdam1993]

Love every second of that video.

[theshyguitarist]

Awesome video!

[SuperTitanicfreak]

To sail on Aquitania or any Ocean Liner, would be totally awesome.

[MegaAlbaby]

Congrats -- very nice editing and music scoring! Wonderful footage. Have been an ocean liner buff for a long time; guess I was just born too late. Thanks for the trip. - AG

[bregsonmitchell]

I remember travelling on RMS "Alcantara", in 1950, from Santos to London. Subsequently on the "Highland Brigade", "Highland Monarch" and "Highland Princess", between England and Brazil. They were all scrapped towards the end of the 1950s. In 1960 I travelled on the Cunard liner "Media" from New York to Liverpool. Wonderful memories. Modern travel sucks! I'm glad I'm an old man....

[14holden]

THERE KIND SCAIRY NICE MUSIC

[khbigjoe]

Hi - could you tell me what the music is that starts at around 2:35 and is in again at 4:00?

Thanks!

[Aaron1912]

I can't remember what it's called but it's from the CD / soundtrack of the movie Leatherheads.

[dickylobster]

It's a shame we can not all go back to that golden era.

[allegheny48]

Hello Aaron1912:

What a grand video you have created. I especially like the jazz music that plays in 2 sections of this video. That twenties syncopation was as uniquely American as was ragtime. You stated in a reply to chrisr19897 that the music was from an album entitled Broken Record by the Bratislava Hot Serenaders. I have found their website and it is chock full of samples of their marvelous music. Do you know of an outlet here in the US where I can obtain their CD's? Thanks!

[Aaron1912]

Thanks. I don't know where in America it can be purchased. The CD I received was a kind gift posted to me by the trumpet player in the Bratislava Hot Serenaders. His youtube user name is - bhsisthebest

[ShaenyGiddens]

What is the name of the song at the start of the video? O.o

I love it :D

[Aaron1912]

Bandology



[alex39743]

rms OLIMPIC better other liners!!!

[DanielHami23]

The bit when Olympic and Mauretania come in it always makes me feel so sad cause of the music and the ships lost there sisters.

R.I.P. To all passenger ships who have been lost at sea

[TSM8088]

I wish I could board an old liner and sail away...

[gdcat777]

Where is this stuff on DVD? Everything is so banal these days. Even though it was rough crossing the Atlantic, and is today, the idea of the ocean liner is greater than the experience, good or bad. In those days, they were taken for granted, and that's why people didn't get so sad when they left. They figured another would be along soon. After sailing on QE2 6 times, I started to see what they saw.

I became complacent, until the last voyage in '08, though I knew it wouldn't last.

[Aquitania13]

which horns really belong to the ships? is 0:39 Berengaria's real horn? Is 0:53 Majestic's horn?

[meow98]

Awesome vIdeo, and music! I feel like I am there.

[Ptylersworld]

1:30 LMAO

what kind of horn was that?

[majaorca100]

sad these beauties are all gone now....

[goriagothica]

my Grandpa was the radio officer on the Mauri!

[Danieltitanic1912]

oh poor Mauretania and Olympic. I almost cry when i see them lost their sister :(

[godseesnocolour]

Olympic was scrapped? only a few suicides thats all that happened on Olympic.

[Darrigrande]

Un interesante documento de la era del transatlántico. Recomendable!!!

[chrisr19897]

Please could you tell me the name of the track that begins at 01:56 then ends at 02:33 and then recommences at 03:19 and then ends again at 03:58 as I would like to be able to search for and download this in mp3 format.

Your help is much appreciated.

[Aaron1912]

It's called 'You Ain't The One' from the cd 'Broken Record' performed by the Bratislava Hot Serenaders.

[DanielHami23]

I Know some of them in this video

R.M.S.Majestic (Bismarck)

R.M.S.Berengaria (Imperator)

R.M.S.Mauretania sister of Lusitania

R.M.S.Olympic sister of Titanic and Britannic

[usspike]

Would anyone happen to know the name of the Jazz song at 1:57?

[Welshmonster87]

Hey dude can you list the call of the giants horns in order please.

[Caspinovish]

WOW!!

[puiear]

Superb! So evocative of a bygone age

[Camodric123]

I have a binder dedicated to The Great Ocean liners of the 19th and 20th century!!

[sigft25]

The Mauretania alone...thanks to Churchill

[sigft25]

Excellent.  Images (and evocative sounds) of an era that lasted too little

[HarborGuy]

Perhaps with the high cost of fuel the airlines will revert to liners....necessity is the mother of invention so what is next - wait and see.........

[BCraven04]

The airlines won't be 'reverting' back to liners because they didn't come from them. I doubt they'll put the money forwards anyhow since it's not their business but I wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple ultra-fast, small and cheap liners darting across the sea. If you think about it, a transalantic fligth takes about 24 hrs and isn't all that enjoyable. If you could construct a fast enough ship to make the crossing in a day or two it'd be a big draw.

[chrisr19897]

The last and only time I flew arcoss the Atlantic it took a mere 6 hours 45 minutes - then again I could hardly compare that with the six days previously I'd spent sailing over the North Atlantic on the last great liner - QE2

[BCraven04]

Well, when you consider the time you spend at the airport and lay overs it's much longer than seven hours.

[auglendsveien]

Todays airliners are jets, They take just about 6 hours to New York not 24. As for ships crossing in a day or two that technology doesnt exist yet.

[BCraven04]

It's a whole day affair though. I mean, you have to get to the airport, find your terminal, get there early in case it arrives early and if there's bad weather you could be grounded for some time.

[auglendsveien]

Depends which airport you are travelling from but on the whole UK ones are easy, its shouldnt be too difficult to get to the airport. Rule of thumb is for busy AP..be there two hours before check in, dump bags get a beer or coffe,buy some goodies, que up, board aircraft. Teminals are well signed and no different to finding the airport. Even if flights arrive early they normally leave on time certainly not earlier! Vey unusual to be grounded in the UK. Anyway ships take too long.

[BCraven04]

You must have a good airport Auglend,

getting to and through mine is insanity!

[skepticepilleptic]

nah even though the cruise ships today are much bigger they are boring compared to the old vessels. i think they are working on an alternative source of fuel for aircraft.

[HarborGuy]

When you think of air travel the way it was before 9/11 and the way it is today, we are like cattle waiting at the airports to board whatever comes first.......I wish we could return to style and being treat as humans.......I don't think any of the security is securing anything but our thinking we are safe. As FDR said " we have nothing to fear but fear itself.

[maneenate]

how can i see that.

[TitanicExpert]

I'm really sad to see mostly all the ocean liners gone fore ever.

[majaorca100]

me too :(

[sigft25]

It`s tragic...

[jrchan01]

maurtania lost her sister first because britannic sank on 1916

[BCraven04]

jrchan...? The Olympic Class liners were the Olympic, Titanic and Britannic. Olympic came before Titanic so she was around when the Titanic went down in 1912. The Lusitania sank in 1915. However, neither of these were the first ships to sink so...? Ex. Artic, Atlantic, Naronic

[alexxxxxx23]

Actualy the first on, who lost her sister was RMS Olympic (1912), RMS Mauretania lost her sister only in 1915...

[chrisr19897]

Once again your excellent films offer a window into the past more than any documentary ever could. The music at begenning of the film was played by the band at the Queen Elizabeth II Cruise terminal as passengers waited to board the QE2 for her 25th world cruise. What is that song called by the way?

[Aaron1912]

Thanks. The song is called 'Bandology' written by Eric Osterling who also arranged songs from the musical Chicago to Hogan's Heroes.

[GJOTY]

IT IS COOL

[ZeroGal5]

I wish we still had some 'turn of the century' ocean liners around, they were and are the best of the best. They just have this grand feeling to them, no matter the size! :)

[Riku1135]

the ones with the three funnels were the interpreator class, probably the ones owned by White Star and cunard

[kougermasters]

The Olympic! The Aquitania! I love those ships, but Olympic even more, not only because of her sister's legacy (most noticeably Titanic, much more famous than Britannic) but also because of her story! Transporting so many troops, sinking a U-boat, etc. I have have a video called The Story of the RMS Olympic! I love Olympic!

[Riku1135]

id put her as before titanic interms of sheer greatness

[kikddabottle]

the "horn" part reminds me of just before they scrapped the Leviathan. The cold air made the cables contract and made them go off as it was sailing to its death...

[craggon13]

RMS Majestic, beautiful ship.nice video

[templedread]

I almost cried... Really...

[coreyteen13]

My Favorite of the ex-German liners would have to be the Leviathan. :D

[majaorca100]

Aaron, thanks for taking us back to the time of the floating palaces. It's awesome to see footage of those ships

[MarioNiebles]

when I hear the whistles, they sound like giant whales!!

Very beautiful (and touching) video. Thank you!!! :)

[HarborGuy]

Only way to fly lol....I took the Matson Line to Hawaii in the l950's wonderful...

[Paddy3443]

Thanks! I love the German trio after they became British especially the Majestic.

[fuzzbear6240]

Aaron, Such wonderful footage-Thank you so much for posting it. Regards, J.

[lusitania39]

excellent
