bro what

I have an email I can send you.

@@oceanlinerhub5765 thank you!!! can you give me your e mail adress?

Hardly. She’s scrapped. We have had the internet for 30 years. Why is it hard for the young to actually use it and find things out.

@@xr6lad i know she was scrapped. I'm just saying that she was a ship to preserve despite the decision to scrap her

Why do the children of the 21st century totally unable to research things. It was scrapped in 2006.

Isn’t S.S France a female ship instead of a he?

‘She’ is the embodiment of France. ‘She’ will be the mistress of every Frenchman. ‘She’ contains the spirit to restore Frances pride.

She*

Wdym? That's the tradition of ship launches. They always smash a bottle of champagne onto the ship's hull

They do that just to test the ship if it's sinkable or not I think

No, it’s a blessing, it’s for good luck. Usually it’s superstitious if the bottle doesn’t break, which has coincidentally happened a few times@@LocalBlueyFan-ob2nb

De rien mon ami !

But today is 1960 11 may what the footage write 11 may 1961?

What

Hi me

The ENGINE?

@@atlantis0v-104 probably, but isn’t she a turbine powered ship? And turbines don’t have reciprocating parts.

Yes i see

She was designed to be the flagship of not just her company, but of her nation’s merchant fleet. And while she wasn’t the largest or the fastest, she was the longest and perhaps the most luxurious. Unlike cruise ships, ocean liners were built as symbols of national pride to represent a nation’s standing in the world.

Why you find it hard to think?

Ocean liners are basically ocean busses, cruise ships are often used for a nations pride, ever heard of those mega hotels the icons? @@Daniel_Huffman

Yes

No. It’s a Frenchman speaking.

Yes, the ship speaks fluently french

That's the Big U.

@@ChiehHsuanYing2000 What do you mean? They are talking about the ship.

@@ShipsandGames I mean the ship that can be seen at 1:22 is Big U, nickname of SSUS, not SS America.

@@ChiehHsuanYing2000 Oh ok, thank you for the explanation.

This video has better audio and the 1949 footage was taken farther from the whistle

It sounds like rms olympic and ss normandie with 1.2 pitch

Ugly boxes are here to stay, unfortunately. The more balconies a ship has, the more marketable and desirable it is to passengers.

@@johnbergstrom2931 the modern industry sucks

Ironically, the _France,_ in her guise as the _Norway,_ inspired many of these problems in design, particularly after her 1990 refit.

By sucks I assume you just mean the style, the more we advance, the more we have to drop the “cool” looking shit, even the ugly boxes” (which I don’t agree with, some cruises look very cool) are eventually going to be outraged by more “uglier” modernized ships.@@koltp1909

It's all ker-ching, ker-ching, today. The France was about national pride. Her building was subsidised at a time when airlines were already eating in to transatlantic traffic. The writing was on the wall. She was a revenue loser.

Didn't expect to see you here...

@@aerofiles5044 Same, don’t know why there aren’t many likes.

I know its been Two years, but no, not yet. The footage was recorded by Americans, which means It Falls under American regulation. Since the footage is definetly less than 70 years old, that means its producer has obviously died less than 70 years ago. So no, its not on public domain.

yes
