I'm an ocean line fan- and it's still a wonder that a ship as big as she was could race that fast across the ocean!

[beaum1cah]

AHH 29 knots??!!! WOOOW omg thats fast especialy for a steamer thats pretty amazing

[Thermionman1970]

@beaum1cah Steam turbines are very fast !

[beaum1cah]

@Thermionman1970 well ya but u look at it and u think...thats steam thats making the props spinn that fast

[Thermionman1970]

@beaum1cah Oh,I see what you mean.The history of steam power is very interesting .The first engines used low pressure steam and were not that powerful."Google' "beam engines" .Also check out steam yacht "Turbinia"

[TheReformed1]

@beaum1cah top speed of the S.S. Unoited States was 44 knots.

[royaladam]

where is the big guns in the ship at?

[Dirtboy101]

Wow, Ive stayed on the Queen Mary.

[alattawy]

what year was it

[DukeNukem500]

qm was more about brute force, less efficient hull than normandie but more shaft-power:)

[lasuvidaboy]

Incredible bow wave! Normandie w/her sleek hull and bulbous bow had a minimal bow wave (like all new ships including QM2) in comparison.

[TITANICLUSITANIA]

@lasuvidaboy The Normandie also has a wave breaker at the bow of the ship at the top, the QM2 has the same one, and the newer vista class vessels have a similar one but not as efficient as the one on Normandie and the exact same one on the QM2.

My lady

[rmskadycee]

I've never seen this before - it's hard to believe it was 73 years ago - and she's still around.

[beserker1912]

helluva bow wave on the qm

[ragemanchoo82]

Cool video but I wish it included the ending!

[Titanic0002]

That ended rather abruptly.

[Miguelmurdoch]

Wow, Where did you get this??? is there anymore
