Rms Olympic White Stars Finest

[OlympicWS]

Great job :)

[WQ673]

This old 4 steamers where the most beautifull ships of Steamships. So elegant and wonderfull never later ships where build. To scrapp her is very sad, but what can we do with an ironship when its time is gone ? Iron will die after it is sailing for some ten jears in the saltwater of the sea. Sorry, but this is the life ! This dreamships are all gone, but her souls are in the heaven of all seamendreams !

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Olympic was 882 feet long, 92 feet wide, & was the finest ship afloat, when she made her maiden voyage on Wednesday, June 14, 1911.

[donshotz]

I am so sorry Olympic that those bitchs scraped you

[BladeRunnerCPandMJ]

in fact the olympic was exactly like titanic her later years. She was refurbished and the tonnage increased. Very close to the end of her campaign she was made larger to nearly 47,000 tonns, larger than the titanic. They are pretty much the same, shame she got scrapped.

[nfsmw9]

i''m always getting emotional of this song and old scrapped ships,cars and planes

[organperson]

oh my gosh they SCRAPED her

[Peter43John]

Being Titanic's sister, did they ever correct any of her problems on Olympic??

[takotamcwhorter]

its titanic

[Abricialio]

I will never wanna see an footage how they blast the plates out of the ship in the breakers yard.. and it would be very sad if the Britannic, and Titanic were also there in Southampton to wait for their final fate. But I think Britannic would like the Aquitania serving to 1950.

[Brendon00000]

Sure i can see scrapping ships but not the white star liners these were rare classics that should still be here today

[09adge13]

the last of the olympic class ocean liners and they had to scrap her. if i was the owner ill keep her as a museum after retirement then in 2012 sail her 1 more time the exact route titanic took to pay tribute on the 100th anniversary( the hell with shipping regulations today). then return her to a museum.

[Abricialio]

The Olympic can still be rebuild. I made a website (some months ago) to rebuild the RMS Olympic with cruise-ship material. She would costs then 15 million dollars. Instead of 430 million.

[oscarelgy]

this is fab thanks, but please dont put this whiney hackneyed muzac with it -:)

[Lilyankee2424]

Did the HMHS Britannic every meet her two sisters? most likely the Olympic?

[Abricialio]

Well I think they didn't. Maybe when the war began, when Britannic and Olympic were re-painted.

[morvil73]

Correction: Olympic was in service until 1935 an then scrapped - finally broken up in 1937.

[Abricialio]

3:01 Olympic's colors after the deck scrapping has been vanished. :(

Many people said that Bruce Ismay tried to save the Olympic, but the only problem was: not enough money. Many people liked the Olympic in the time, she was the luxurious ship ever build same with her sisters Britannic and Titanic.

Building the Olympic costed 7 million dollars, now to the present day... 550 million dollars!!

[Abricialio]

If the Olympic was in service from 1911 to 1939 she would return in a war-service. I think she was saved if she saved it till 1950..

[sweetnessboy1]

They should of never got rid of her. She was beautiful, and we need a good looking Steamer Ship around today.

[PoppingSanta]

at 2:01 there's a ship in the bakround. Dos anyone know wich ship that was ?

[laffyroks]

its the Lusitania

[PoppingSanta]

Oooh shit really ? That's kinda cool ;)

[LordZirk]

@laffyroks Well Lusitania sunk in 1917. Sadly...

[Abricialio]

The Lusitania.

[hotrod101111]

@PoppingSanta thats probably the RMS Britannic

[PoppingSanta]

@hotrod101111 No it was the Lusitania.

The HMHS Britannic was launched in February 1914 and Titanic sank in 1912 so it could not have been (?) Britannic.

[zephyruk]

@PoppingSanta

I think it's actually the Mauretania, post world war one.

[PoppingSanta]

@zephyruk

The creator of this vid told me it was Lusitania..

[hecrpd]

@PoppingSanta could be either Maurtannia or Aquitannia.

[mornsterks]

rms olympic not yet sunk just been scrapped

[chico16412]

This video is awsome and its the best one I have seen and good job,on making this video.

[Abricialio]

0:44 Is that Captain Bartlett from the RMS Britannic?

[isopahajokinen]

Those steamers were real ships:) nowadays they are just ugly as hell

[09adge13]

i cant believe they scrap her i like to see a olympic class liner today. 2:33 to the end is sad as hell.

[ZeroGal5]

I know, she's a war hero and should always be considered that. She was an amazing ship. it pisses me off that they scrapped her! >:(

[mileyooxx]

whats the name of the second song starting at 1:18. :]

[ZeroGal5]

'A Growing Panic' :) It's from the second CD called 'Return to Titanic'. It's my favorite soundtrack!

[ivan93935]

ОЛИМПИК-ЛЕГЕНДА МОРЯ!

[Abricialio]

1:46

Name of the song?? I like it so much <3

[mileyooxx]

its from james horner "unable to stay, unwilling to leave" its in the titanic movie :)

[SlyMax84]

If i were a millionaire back in the 1930's, i would have bought her, refitted her and kept her sailing for another 20 or so years and then later refurbish her as a floating hotel but still keep her traditional white star look.

It would be amazing to be on a ship so similar to the Titanic.

One of the Greatest Ships ever built!!

[Abricialio]

White Star Line fixed the ships design in our world. It was the best ship what was ever built by humankid. :)

[Abricialio]

@SlyMax84 Olympic's funnels were collapsing in 1935. If you purchased her you should removed her funnels and rebuilded the funnels, and fixed the structure and let her sail to the present day. Olympic had ONLY two refits in her life time, that is really sad and not much..

[CristyBoy97]

@SlyMax84 where have you been all my life?

[mileyooxx]

shes one of my fave ship ever, she looks so cheerful and inviting.

[riverfairfax]

wtf hav u got the titanic theme

[TheSprinter]

look at how the USS United States is doing? Is that what you really wanted for our olympic?

[coster993]

R.I.P Olympic

[pieman97405]

She is my favorite ship of of all time, rip Olympic. I wish I could go back it time and buy her, I'd never let anything happen to her. RIP.

[ajgroppe]

Me too, pieman97405, me too! She was a precious treasure!

and a lucky girl, that one~

I'd have bought her and spent up until my last days keeping her alright~~~~~~~~

AJ Groppe~

[pieman97405]

So would I, keeping her out of the war would be kinda hard, but I'd make the navy sign a contract that they have to do cetin things to use her. I would not let anything happen to her, or let the Titanic socioty turn her into a museum, I'd make Carnavle use her as a trans atlantic ship when I died. May she RIP, I wish we could go back and save her, but shes steaming forever now in a place safe from the cutters tourch and ice.

[OlympicClassDandy]

I would be happy to help too! The scrapping of the RMS Olympic was indeed a sad day for those who appreciated it, however it DID help a lot of people who were suffering from the dreadful economy at the time. But if she wasn't scrapped and was still around today, I don't think that the Titanic Historical Society would turn her into a museum. However, it would be very hard to make her a full-time operating vessel, so constant care would be needed. So perhaps it could be a part time-job. :-)

[pieman97405]

Why not full time, she was built to the highest ability of the time, and would have to be completly over hauled in the 1970's so I see no real problems if she was in constant use. She was a big help to those people, but so was the scraping of the Maruitania. Why wouldn't they want Titanic's sister as a museum.

[OlympicClassDandy]

Well, if she was completely re-done, then of course it would be possible. But by the time she was going out of service, she was already experiencing mechanical failures.

I was saying that the only reason that they would want her as a museum would be to keep her in good condition. However, at the same time they probably wouldn't since they would have wanted to keep everything as it was.

[pieman97405]

Oh, then 30's 70's, and the next one would be now, active as long as she can make the crossing, and then shorter trips untill she could never run again.

Yeah, probably.

[laffyroks]

yeah but fron the 70s untill now what would she be doing? cus sitting there doing nothing isnt good for her hull:/

[pieman97405]

From the 70's till now she'd be working the atlantic, those were when her rebuilds would be. Guess I could have been a little more clear on that.

[laffyroks]

oh right, guess that could work but who who had owned her? noone would want to keep a ship running as theres new laws with hull designes etc :(

[pieman97405]

I would keep her running, every dime she made would go to keeping her running, and laws could be gotten around because of her age, trust me, if I owned her I would keep her under steam untill it was agenst the law to operate steam. I'd try and keep her up to mpdern codes as long as she wasn;t extreamly altered.

[laffyroks]

it must look like im against the idea:P but im not:P

to run her on steam you need stokers and thats to unsafe a job now its against the law to keep workers in hot conditions like that, but 21st century im sure you could of made something to deliver coal into the fires:P

[pieman97405]

Well by the end the Olympic was an oil burner and had automatic stokers, so less people were needed down there.

Well, if time travel becomes possible you know what is going to happen.

[SVCNProductions]

what you are forgetting though is that when she was sold for scrap, in 1935 , we had not fully got over the great depression. cunard may hava also been short of money.

[DIAPERGRAVY52]

thats why she was scrapped white star+cunard merged and they got rid of most of the whit estar line

[codekiller2]

@laffyroks actually in the 20s she was refitted to burn oil instead of coal

[pieman97405]

If she was part time, she would not make as much of a profit, and mantaning her would cost slightly less, but still a lot, so in the long run full time would be better for her, and where could you store a ship that big if it was a part time vessel? That would cost a lot onto it self.

[titanicboss]

brillent video thow well done

[laffyroks]

Yeah but she was sold when White Star was bought by Cunard,and also back in 1935 there wasnt alot of demand for museums and hotel ships:(

[titanicboss]

actual your wrong there. White star line merged with cunard and the british goverment paid 10 million becuase these two did. other wise we woudnt have cunard or white star today! Aswell olympic almost became a hotel but the person lost all his money read about it first your right not alot of demand thow

[dannyman1995]

they should of kept it as a museum or something cos i love it not as much as titanic or britanic but it is still white star line

its not right dont break up hitory!!!!!!!!!

[Deadq]

the picture at 0:35 is a picture taken from the lightship that the Olympic Plowed into in mid 1934.

[sanderrodijk]

The news report of 1935 is the same as mine

[Riku1135]

i think that she has her own leauge seperae form her sisters, in terms of sheer sucess...

all 3 are distinctive...

Olympic: most sucessfull & favored

Titanic: Most famous & timless

Britannic: most distinctive of the trio & the greatest hospital ship of all time

[09adge13]

and the olympic class trio's to me has the best reputation of being the most beautiful ocean liners that ever sailed the sea.

[Riku1135]

i agree

[7511232]

i agree too

[socalkev]

they should of turned olympic into a museum instead of scrapp metal :'-(

[Dirtboy101]

ya. the Olympic was taken apart and sold to a hotel in Mexico that you can still visits today.

[OneTed91]

Nice video, but what is the name of the second song??

[laffyroks]

A building Panic i think that song was from my friends pc

[kougermasters]

[titanic945]
