Why , why, why.....WHY!??

It's tragic that she had to be scrapped at all..

Fantastic clip. Thanks for sharing it.

it is great to see this film. My gt grandfather Ernest Ziething was a sick birth steward with Cunard white star line. Looking through his discharge papers I see that he did a trip on the Berengaria from Southampton to New York from 11th march to 10 April 1936. He was then transferred to the Britannic. many thanks for posting this.

Sad we lost these Liners to air travel and now air travel is such a mess due to security...........

Although seeing a good ship scrapped is sad, it is (in my opinion) a proper death, so to speak. It saves the ship the indignation of being sunk (like Titanic and so many others) or being mutilated in retirement (like the Queen Mary). Either way, I'd rather see a ship scrapped than sunk, but of course, I'd rather see one preserved rather than scrapped!

really such a wonderful film

Wasn't she a German liner which the British got after Germany was defeated?

Wonderful video. Coincidentally, I am now reading Buerk's "Breaking Ships". Her end may be sad, as that of many others, but it puts people to work and recycles materials.

Fascinating video! A beautiful old ship...such a sad end though.

The three funneled ships looked so much like the Queen Mary.

The Berengaria sails past the Queen Mary at 1:10

Such a grand old lady of the Atlantic.

That's such a shame!

Very sad to a very beautiful ocean liner being scrapped and made in a cat food tin.  How depressing.

[Mcoscillator]

What a fantastic film. Sad to see such a grand old liner come to the end of its working life. It doesn't seem right somehow..

[Turkeydoodlers]
