RMS Aquitania, one of the most loved ships ever to sail the oceans. She entered service before the First world war and she worked until after the Second, being scrapped in February 1950
During this long life she saw every possible extra service for a passenger liner, auxiliary cruiser, hospital ship and troop transport.

  • wtf all of them are copying titanic back

  • Actually, the Aquitania was a larger copy of the earlier liners Lusitania and Mauretania, both in service many years before the titanic.

    Titanic itself was a larger copy of these two liners!

  • 2:10, thats another four funnel liner. THE OLYMPIC!

  • yeah...you can see HMT olympic stern.

    HMHS Aquitania is in the background...she's very lovely seen from that angle!

  • I hope you contacted the webmaster at Maritime Quest to request permission to use all of the Aquitania photo's on that website. Many of those you used are from a private collection, and require permission from the owner.

  • Great! Really great!

  • I would love to walk on Aquitania's deck. Relax in in the Aquitania handsome 1st Class lounge. Aquitania was really The Ship Beautiful.

  • My mother (English) and I came to Canada from England in 1947 with many other war brides and babies. I'm proud that it was the Aquitania that brought us to our new home!

  • I would love to sail on the Aquitania, The Ship Beautiful. I would have love to walk dwon her Grand Staircase & into the two storie dining Saloon.

  • Aquitania is beautiful in herself, the photographs & artwork. Aquitania was one of the most beloved liners. it's sad that she had to go like that, scrap. Very sad.

  • I miss the Olympic so much, and the other great four liners. The only thing what we have is the Britannic wreck, in very good condition, and still in one big piece.

  • What does it matter. All Ocean Liners are beautiful, especially Aquitania The Ship Beautiful. If you want to talk a liner down, than talk down uss united states. As far as I'm concern, she is a loser who gets in the Queens way. united staes is sooo ugly, I woudn't even call her a Liner at all. She's a disgrace.

  • they need to make titanic the 2nd

  • God! The beauty of Ocean Liners, especially Aquitania have quite a mystique
