  • Love the views on deck. Especially the promenade :). So amazing to have such rare footage. Thanks for sharing this piece of history!

    They just don't build 'em like they use to!!!

  • Although she was owned by White Star after WW1, she was actually a German ship, ceded to the Allies as reparations, I think. Her sisters became the Cunarder Berengaria and the American Leviathan. I think she was the biggest ship in the world at the time this movie was made. She didn't really look much like the Olympics, I don't think. One funnel less, for a start.

  • Everytime this video pops up, I think of the looney tunes.

  • Thanks for putting this on, I felt like I was on board then, great atmospheric film.

  • Those were certainly the days of class.... class in the way we traveled and class in the way we presented ourselves anywhere in public. Class never goes out of style .... people just lose class.

  • OHHH! A Transatlantic voyage on board Majestic, OH! I would just die. Go Ocean Liners, MAJESTIC!

  • Men wear suits and ties even daytime....

  • She was originally part of the Bismarck class liners not the battleship Bismarck and the Tirpitz.

  • The Majestic was laid down in Germany in 1914 as the Bismarck (not the battleship) and left idle for the duration of the war. She was completed in 1920 and ceded to White Star in reparations for the loss of the HMHS Britannic. At that time she was the largest ship in the world. A few years after the merger of White Star and Cunard in 1934, she was transfered to the crown and renamed the Caledonia to be used as a training vessel. She caught fire and was eventually scrapped just before WW II.
