you know a disaster is horrible when it makes disasters like the titanic look tame.

I like how this video not only gives history about the Rex but also history about World War One and two and history of Italy during both wars.

She was attacked and ultimately sunk to keep Germany from seizing her & using her for their use. She was a beautiful ship, sad she was destroyed, but it's also understandable why she was attacked! I feel like a naughty school boy who is two days late doing his homework 😂😂 Great video again Elinor😊 Looking forward to the upcoming plans 😊

Such a bautiful ship. What a tragedy.

70,000 tonne not 70 tonne

the Oedipus Rex ! it did a lot of mother's day cruises!

Awesome video well done 👏

Too bad there were no dinosaurs on that ship as the name SS Rex would imply.

Really a pretty ship.

Finally took time & watched several of your vids. Thank you truly for a straightforward "non AI" (?) approach to these stories. You don't claim any expertise but your research and knowledge shine through. Such a pleasant voice & clean delivery. Cheers to you folks... most refreshing !

I do enjoy the "Shipwreck Sunday" channel Videos thank you, Eleanor are you the same voice on the HRNaval Museum RUclips channel? I really enjoy the documentary's there too.

When ships looked beautiful. Another great story. Thanks Elinore.

You used beautiful pics of a beautiful and short lived ship. 💔 Really well done Eleanor!!! I know you probably have a full play list in the works, but perhaps you can look at doing a history of the Italian line Pre and Post war. They were some of the most beautiful ships ever built... But Im prejudiced, being Italian...lol...

The Italiens got a "Crime against Humanity Free Card". They did many crimes in their African areas. They build many wonderful looking liners at that time. I wish they would have invented color photography much earlier. The former pre dreadnought "Asahi" was also sunk by a USN sub, but she was converted to a repair ships after 1937, so she wasn't technically a battleship anymore.

Great job, love hearing about the specs of the wreck of the Rex. subbed!

Let us not forget the Wilhelm Gustloff, sunk by a Soviet submarine with an estimated loss of between 9,000 and 10,000 souls,

The Rex was the flagship but the Conte Di Savoia was better decorated, and just as fast. It too was destroyed during WW2, unfortunately.

51k DWT. is a huge ship in that era. The step sterns are my favorite. Rex and Normandie had them. You covered it very well E.

Just subscribed. Avery enjoyable channel … I think the Italian liners were the best looking …not to grand or overwhelming as in the case of the British and French liners as beautiful as they where too

Great video as always Elinor, thanks for posting

So many beautiful ships lost... it's a shame. Excellent video! I love those Italian liners... especially the ones in the 50's. They looked like they were full throttle sitting still.

I heard about this one befor on a doffernet channle and found it interesting Sorry btw that i havnt been here lol hope you guys havent forgot about me

Pointless destruction of a beautiful ship but that's what happens in wartime. Peroini Nastro Azzurro is Italy's Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Elinor thanks.i thought the ss Rex was the same boat that was a gambling ship off the coast of Los Angeles in the late 30s but I guess not. Same name different ship. Maby a different show that could explain two vessels with the same name..keep me posted.....mike

No comment on Friday but pleased that it featured our favoUrate paintjobs - Dazzle! Maybe if She`d HAD Dazzle the RAF Might have missed this Elegant Liner? I`ve always thought the brevity of her name and style of script used to be unflattering to the Ship. Wonderful coloUr illustrations, quality Presentation (for) Shipwreck Topic.

❤❤

Another great story. Thank you for all your work.
