The RMS Mauretania 1 and 2

[pianoplayeruk]

@dimmer007

Modern cruise ships look like container ships with windows. Seems that the cruise industry is more concerned with building big, than they are with building a ship that looks like a ship, rather than a ship that looks like a stack of cartons.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

The differance on the two Mauretanias was that the first had no white band & had 4 funnels. The second had a white band, but had only two funnels.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

The 2 Mauretanias should have never been scrapped. Scrapping Ocean LIners is PURE EVIL!

[SmotheryPizzaGames]

so what

their old but the can make a hotel of the ships

[Abricialio]

@SuperTitanicfreak Olympic, Mauretania 1 and 2 and Aquitania shouldn't have never been scrapped.

[MrWeestie]

RMS MAURETANIA 

[ShipWreckAndHaloFan]

She looks just like RMS Lusitania

[majaorca100]

@dimmer007 oh it's not just you, a lot of people think so, including me ;)

[mrdesignit145]

that looks like the lusitania

[greekshamrock13]

it's lusitania in 2:44

[antononono]

there are the mauretania and the olympic, that waws beautiful ships, THANKS CUNARD LINE, the white star line was best!!

[mimemike369]

what is the song in this video? plz reply

[hongrand]

instead of the grand staircase there are the grand floor and chair

[hillbillypilot]

did it ever sink?

[MrWill1985]

@hillbillypilot No. The ship was salvaged in 1934. And was replaced in 1936 and the replacement today is now salvaged. She did run as a Hospital ship during world war 1. Thankfully had a better fate then the Britannic which never operated as as passenger ship as she intended. The Britannic struck a contact mine and sank within 57 minutes with only 30 deaths.

TITANIC RULLEZ:X

[MegaLMV]

Hey the cunard ships and white star line ships look just like titanic but the sterns of cunard and white star sterns looked alot different

[daniding1]

3:03 is that titanic in the left?!?

[MegaLMV]

@daniding1 its olympic not  titanic

[kirkconway]

@dimmer007

Nooo your not alone on that at all,

I prefer the older liners too, compared to the overly glized out stack of pancakes look of the modern cruise ship's

the Older liner's LOOOKED LIKE A SHIP AND HAD NICE GRACEFUL LINES the moder ones have no line's,

Tottally gaudy looking box with stack of pancakes look,to them,

Yucccchh.

TOTALLY GROSSE!!!!!

[theretrogamerno1]

LOOK JUST LOOK MAURETANIA IS NOT THAT WELL NONE TITANIC IF HAVENT SANK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FORGOTEN

[skrossi46]

i love this vid...thanks,this summer i was blessed,i,m now the very proud owner of one of her lifeboats..infact i,m off out in half an hour to hunt down a halibut ...... hopefully . She lives in Scrabster Highlands.and sails the Pentland firth. i love her

[skrossi46]

i didn,t catch a halibut,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[SuperTitanicfreak]

I love this song, it fits quite well. this song is a lasting tribute to The Great Ocean Liners, especially Mauretania 1 & 2.

[SuperTitanicfreak]

Mauretania of 1907 & Mauretania of 1938. Both Mauretanias had drop dead gorgeous interiors & both had good long lives. I only wish that upon retirement that both Mauretanias should be preserve or sunk

[Grabbabba]

Cunard= Volvo

White Star=Mercedes

[monk106ross]

i cant tell the 1 from the 2??

[DJMarioV8]

The biggest shit in the october 1935 two brilliant ships are died

The olympic and the mauretania

[exeuroweenie]

@dimmer007 Oh yeah,much more so.They looked like ships and had classy,historic names.The new ones look like wedding cakes on steroid and have silly names like Carnival Bipolar Mania.

[maryoassyrian2007]

@dimmer007 No, I agree.

[rameses51]

I have a ten foot model of the Mauretania;radio-controlled;se­mi-scale;fitted kort nozzle,single screw,c.d.player/horn operated by r/c.can turn in her own length!!Can be seen at Crealy adventure park nr.Exeter on Father`s day[club open day]

[SuperTitanicfreak]

I wish both Mauretanias were presreve. I think Mauretania 1 & 2 should be persreve side by side with a gangplank connecting the 2 on the promenade deck

[blakesnearey96]

@SuperTitanicfreak Amen to that

[isheemckenzie11]

@blakesnearey96 why mauretania sank?

[blakesnearey96]

@isheemckenzie11 noooo...she was scrapped when the queen mary set out for her return to new york

[BenAliGtor]

Mauretania's gross tonnage was 31,938; Titanic's was 46,328.

Also, to clarify: while Mauretania sailed on the Cunard Line, it was BUILT by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, England. Titanic sailed on the White Star Line and was built by Harland and Wolff of Belfast, Ireland.

[kez3arco12]

what is bigger RMS Titanic or Rms mauretania

[Sims3101lover]

@kez3arco12 titanic

[TheChristmasFan]

@kez3arco12 The Titanic

[Fagstub]

Aquitania, Lusitania and Mauritania were built by Cunard. My old dad sailed ( yes they still call it sailed, even though they were powered by bloody great big engines), in its guise as a troopship, from Liverpool to 'old fashioned Bombay' en route to Burma.

[Skeleflexcrazy]

isnt that the sister of titainic

[sweetnessboy1]

Britannic and Olympic were, Mauretania and Lusitania were Cunard liners had a totally different appearence.

[donaldengine9]

@Skeleflexcrazy: No, Olympic and Britannic were Titanic's sisters, all built by White Star Lines. Mauretania was built by the rival shipbuilders, Cunard.

[TheSuperCRASHer]

@dimmer007 YES THE OLD STEAMERS were the SHIPS OF THE YEARS BACK THEN. not like today ships are built ugly only a few are good looking.

[Flodder450]

new ships only have like the boat deck,its like stacking as much on a boat

gonna lol when one sinks like titanic

[Sabina090909]

Mauretania is great ship im my dreams and heart <3

[canupopben]

song:nightwish-sleeping sun

[genchandy]

Is Mauritania older or younger than Lusitania?

[canupopben]

older

[damo007revenge]

younger, Lusitania lost her blue riband to the Mauretania

[lasuvidaboy]

The second Mauretania (2) was completed before World War II. She was designed as a '7-day boat' to compliment the faster '5-day boats' Queen Mary and later Queen Elizabeth on Cunard's North Atlantic run.

[bluenose622000]

my grandad sailed on this ship....said it was the best he was ever on

[fromtelaviv]

My family and I came to the US from England on the Mauretania, December 1953...great ship in the Atlantic storm, with 90' waves.

[marineur2]

As is so often the case on YouTube, an excellent video is ruined by the using some truly awful contemporary music for the soundtrack.

[jerseykid211]

this song is horrible

[nfsmw9]

ther is 1 maurentania

[Riku1135]

they built a namesake in the 30's as a tribute to the first one.

[thwepz]

they had two mauretanias? The only one i heard of was the original mauretania that served in WWI and was scrapped in 1935

[Riku1135]

they built a namesake in the 30's as a tribute to the first one.

[toybillie]

The 1st had 4 stacks, Mauretania II had only 2 stacks. I know someone who was on II during WWII as an army nurse. She describes her as magnificent and fast. Fast enough to outpace the submarines.

[andyinsing]

My grandmother was on that ship when she was

a kid!

[Riku1135]

the first one?

[Riku1135]

Mauritania....

seccond only to her sister in terms of a successfull career

Aquitania served in both world wars.....

cunard's best liners of all time

[alexxxxxx23]

Mauretania was 1000 times better and 10 000 times more beautiful then Mauretania2... The same as the movies - 2nd part is never as good as first.... :D

[Riku1135]

true

the fact that cunard had a seccond ship with the same name shows how sucessful and great she was

[alexxxxxx23]

Yes, Mauretania was the famost ship of her age... Much more famous than her sisters.... Noone ever built Aquitania2 or Olympic2....

[Riku1135]

true, i orignally compared her to Aquitania

Truth be told, however, all 6 of the lusitania-class and olympic-class all were so great that even today, they are the most rembered group of ocean liner

you really cant put one above any other of the five

[thwepz]

which one became the hospital ship, aquitania or mauretania. one of them were but they both looked almost identical. i know lusitania didnt because it sank

[Riku1135]

They both filled as troop transports and hospital ships at one point or another

[titanicboss]

there was never many picture's taken of the maratania two dont know why there just dosent seem many at all of her

[mpbfly]

There is at least one picture of the stern of Mauretania 2 included about mid-way through this video.

[alexxxxxx23]

Yes, there are new Mauretania2 in 0:24, 0:27, 0:34, 1:45 and 1:49....
