@@ldpadventures833 I'll have to look into doing something special for the Empress, as well - I've covered her in the past but I can always do a more detailed look like we've done for Lusitania!
Very well done . Lusitania is so often overlooked because or her demise during a world war . Thank you for this lovely series during Lusitania month . 👏🎉
Edit: Spoiler Alert for those who dont know about Lusitania! Thank you Elinor! I can't tell you how much I genuinely appreciate your focus on Lusitania. She was always so under appreciated throughout her life. Whe she was sunk by U-20 captained by Kapitanleutnant Walther Schweiger her career ended, and so did her legacy. Nobody remembers the innocent 1,200 people who were murdered due to Lusitania's registry in Jane's Warships as an Armed Auxiliary Cruiser and Germany's refusal to adhere to the Cruiser Rules of WWI. Lusitania and Mauretania were both absolute LEGENDS of their time and they both set records that stood for decades. They both deserve great respect from us maritime historians.
Totally agree! She's not nearly as well remembered as she should be. In the ship community she is well-recognized, but the general public has all but completely forgotten her. I appreciate you watching!! Thank you!
Welcome Back Elinor !! The best 39 minutes I've watched all day 👍 Never knew there was a First Lusitania !! Always learn something new every time I watch . Great job 👍
Elinor, I can't thank you enough for the tremendous work you put into these videos. I considered myself a Titanic and Lusitania aficionado snob until finding your channel. You have taught me more about these beloved ships than any book I have read. Subscribed for as long as you make videos. Well done, brava!
Thank you so much!! Cheers, friend! If you enjoy books on Lusitania, one I used for this research and one of my absolutely favorites is "Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania" by Erik Larson. He's a great writer and I have quite a few of his books!
@@shipwrecksunday I have it in my Amazon cart as I type this. I hear it's brilliant. Nothing but smooth sailing and calm seas for your channel moving forward! Drew, Tampa FL.
Should be noted that within eyesight of the RMS Lusitania's construction the SS Keewatin was also being built. Keewatin is smaller but she is the last Edwardian era passenger liner left in the world. She's in Kingston, Ontario now as a museum.
Fun fact the QE2 tried to take the Ribbon from the Big U! She tried overtake but the Commodore hailed the QE2 and said nice try and increased speed! Other fun fact the Hudson doesn’t start to the GWB so all the docks on Manhattan are in the North River.
Hello i just discvoered your channel i have never seen your videos but over this past month I have been researching the Lusitania and your video showed up. You have so much potential please keep it up I have now subscribed I hope you'll one day be as big as oceanliner designs(Great youtuber as well) thank you for putting your efforts into the videos!
They look like sisters, but definitely not twins! And their interiors are so vastly different. I assume it's the difference in designers and shipyards!
@@shipwrecksundayyeah makes sense i dont look identical to my siblings and we arent twins. The interiors too mauri was so dark while lusi was so bright and light, such a shame she sunk by a german uboat
Great video, thanks. 😊 Looking through your videos you have already done most of the ships that I know about. I guess Vasa is the only thing I can come up with. Vasa is a good example of how not to build a ship. 😄 On the plus side, Vasa is an archaeological time capsule. 🙂

A known fact about Captain William Turner is that he is not a sociable whenever he's the captain of a vessel, he pretty much sees passengers as "a load of bloody monkeys who are constantly chattering", as opposed to Arthur Rostron If I were to heard a ship's captain say that, oh man, I would go straight to the company right away.
You had to leave us with a "to be continued " climax 😂😂😂lol just joking 😂😂 I don't know why, but these old ocean liners are fascinating 😂 Do you know why the older ocean liners like the Lusitania & Titanic were painted black & the bottom red? The black was mostly used on older coal powered steam ships because it was easier to look clean from coal dust. They were painted red on the bottom because it was a special paint designed to keep barnacles off. Have you looked into the USCGC Blackthorn in 1980?
That area of the ocean is vast, and has a lot of movement (currents and the landscape has a lot of underwater mountain ranges in the area) so that makes finding her difficult. I also, sadly, don't think they are looking very hard for her.
Potential pronunciation issue: it's possible that SS Celtic should be pronounced SS Keltic, no SS Seltic. 🙂 I haven't found any exact info on how the ship's name is pronounced. But I found this: "Celtic pronounced as 'seltic' is the football team but Celtic pronounced as 'keltic' is the people (British Celts are from Scotland, Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall and Ireland), and the Celts as the people has always been pronounced as 'keltic'." Seeing that other ships are named things like Teutonic (referring to Teutons the people), and Britannic (referring to Britons the people), it is likely that SS Celtic should be pronounced SS Keltic. But please double check in case I'm wrong. 😊 Thank you for your videos. 🤗

HAPPY LUSITANIA MONTH 2024!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I dont know if its the lusitania month or the empress or ireland month
@@ldpadventures833 I'll have to look into doing something special for the Empress, as well - I've covered her in the past but I can always do a more detailed look like we've done for Lusitania!
I just got the print Tony Strublic drawing of the Lusitania. A beautiful drawing of this grand lady of the seas.
Absolutely!!
I like the last rule in the cruiser rules.
Me, too!
Very well done . Lusitania is so often overlooked because or her demise during a world war . Thank you for this lovely series during Lusitania month . 👏🎉
Thanks so much!! Cheers!! 🎉
Queued up for my work playlist tomorrow.
( No spoilers please.)
Night all and take care!
No spoilers here! See you tomorrow for your work day!
Watching now, love you covering her metallurgy a bit.
It's interesting seeing the progression of steel quality of ship building through the years!
@@leopardone2386 thanks so much! It is fascinating watching the quality go up and down throughout time!
My all time favorite transatlantic liner.
She's absolutely stunning! It's a shame what happened to her.
@@shipwrecksunday Agreed
Thank You! 🙂🙂👍
Thank you!! I appreciate you taking the time to watch it!

All the old warships in the river is really neat
Right?? Agreed!
I love the Mauritania! Especially when Captain Rostron was her captain!
Me too!! She's my favorite of the three.

That's fascinating!! I'll have to look into her - thank you!
Excellent video once again 👍👍👍
Thanks so much!!
Awesome video
Thanks so much!! ❤️
Excellent vid.
Thank you!!
Great video welcome back
Thank you!! It's good to be back!
great coverage!
Thanks so much!
Great channel Elinor. Just a slight correction. Lusitania arrived at pier 54 on its maiden voyage I believe. Not pier 56.
Thank you for that correction! I appreciate it!
Here as promised
Hello!! Welcome!!
Fun fact the QE2 tried to take the Ribbon from the Big U! She tried overtake but the Commodore hailed the QE2 and said nice try and increased speed! Other fun fact the Hudson doesn’t start to the GWB so all the docks on Manhattan are in the North River.
That's amazing! I love Mauri. She's the bomb!

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! you are AMAZING!❤❤
I feel like Mauri doesent look like lusi maybe because they were built in different yards?
They look like sisters, but definitely not twins! And their interiors are so vastly different. I assume it's the difference in designers and shipyards!
@@shipwrecksundayyeah makes sense i dont look identical to my siblings and we arent twins.
The interiors too mauri was so dark while lusi was so bright and light, such a shame she sunk by a german uboat
@@VegaYTshipedits it's a crying shame! She was absolutely stunning and so very different than Mauretania. Thank you so much, friend!

@@shipwrecksunday Great to hear. 😊
sweet!
Thank you!!
Note Turbinia (Turbine Demonstrator Vessel) alongside at 17.40!
Yes!! She was incredible and I believe either the first or one of the first with a steam turbine engine setup!

You know I had to do it 😂 I knew about the black paint but not the red, that is fascinating!! Cheers!
I will look into her - thank you so much!!
Is that papa roach scars??😂😂
You know it 😂😂😂
why do you think they never found the andrea gail and do you think it will ever be found and if so where

Thanks so much!!
I firmly believe Lusitania is the best ship. Mauri is gross and feels so heavy where lusi feels light and airy
That's a fair opinion! I think many would agree with you.
I'm somewhat disappointed, I really wanted to know what kind of nails they used on the floor boards :)
Lmao!! Next time we will have to get into that 😉
@@shipwrecksunday 😁🥰
8:35 what an unfortunate last name. Lol
It is. Lol.
You got the German flag wrong. It was Black/White/Red
Yes, it was! I just couldn't find a moving video of it so I used the modern version 😁
@@shipwrecksunday I'm sure most people won't mind 🙂
