Lots of inaccuracies in this narration, ranging from the claim that the Cunard liners were longer than the Olympic class (they weren't) to treating GRT as a unit of weight (it's a unit of enclosed volume) and some other things.
Finally got hold of my own copy of this model! I had to order it direct from Germany, but, now, when I find the time, I will, at long last, have a detailed, 1/200 scale model of the legendary liner in my collection! I also own the 1/700 and 1/400 scale plastic kits from Amati, the 1/350 scale kit from MiniCraft, the Polish paper kit in 1/400 scale... as well as the Alan Rose (remember him?) 1/200 paper model, the GoMix paper model in 1/200 scale, and the Taschen paper model (same scale as the Rose kit, but less accurate, in my opinion). Plus... (as if it weren't enough already, right?) I have the miniature paper model, courtesy to Mr. Ralph Currell, and a paper kit from another graphic artist in Japan (free to download, as the Currell masterpiece!) Yes... I, too, have a deep interest in Titanic, Olympic, Britannic and other liners of both the White Star and Cunard lines!
Olympic class length: 882 ft 6 in (269.0 m) Lusitania length: 787 ft (239.9 m) Aquatania was indeed longer than the Olympic class, but she was built after Titanic's sinking. She also wasn't built to the same design as the greyhounds, being built to be slower and more luxurious. At the time of their launches, Olympic and Titanic were indeed the biggest ships afloat by whatever measure you cared to use. Not a good start, fact wise. :)
Excellent and beautiful model. I have already started mine, I'm using my laser cutting for not printed parts which reduces building time. Beautiful video. Quite convincing!!!! Congratulations!!
Dude! You need to research a little better man... You right Titanic and Olympic were average on speed for their day, but size? Titanic smaller? She was named Titanic for a reason.... In fact they had to make a new pier in New York for the Olympic Class liners... RMS TITANIC Tonnage: 46,328 GRT Displacement: 52,310 tons Length: 882 ft 9 in (269.1 m) Beam: 92 ft 0 in (28.0 m) Height: 175 ft (53.3 m) (keel to top of funnels) Draught: 34 ft 7 in (10.5 m) Depth: 64 ft 6 in (19.7 m) Decks: 9 (A-G) RMS Lusitania Tonnage: 31,550 GRT Displacement: 44,060 long tons (44,767.0 t) Length: 787 ft (239.9 m)[3] Beam: 87 ft (26.5 m) Height: 60 ft (18.3 m) to boat deck, 165 ft (50.3 m) to aerials Draught: 33.6 ft (10.2 m) Decks: 9 passenger decks
The sheer fact that ships sailed without concerns for all passengers and crew is testament to the low value of people in the early days of sea passage. But if cruise ships could offer 50% discounts today I wonder is people today would sail knowing life boats were not available for discount travelers in the event of a sinking?
Here is the list of Titanic's true facts 1. Olympic and Titanic is over 100 feet LONGER than Mauritania and Lusitania. 2. The ship could take water into FOUR of her 16 water tight compartments and remain afloat, not just three. 3. The fourth funnel was used for ventilation it was by by no means just a fake. These are the facts that I noticed he got wrong. Other than these facts I thought that this video was good.
+Vincent Cuevas sorry I tried to correct that but I didn't want to rewrite the entire comment however it's still more accurate than as it is described in the video

one more mistake is that the Titanic would have survived a head on collision. it's true that less compartments would have been struck directly, but don't forget the first law of Newton. Her massive weight and momentum would have caused structural damage and would have jammed the watertight doors. The Titanic would have sank within an hour
Completely right. Daniel Allen Butler, likely the final word on the subject, completely agrees with your sentiments, as well. -Jordan Morris, great-great nephew of Titanic survivor Frank Morris
Gross Register Tonnage is a way of measuring the enclosed volume of a ship. In the early 20th century, 100 cubic feet of enclosed space represented 1 register ton. Gross register tonnage covered all the enclosed space of a vessel, but not open decks or other spaces open to the elements. Net register tonnage was a measure of useful space available on a ship, as it would subtract space reserved for machinery and fuel from the GRT figure.
Классный корабль и сделано всё так же как и в реальности. все знают ,как затонул титаник ,по фильму Джеймса Кэмерона ,я соглашусь с некоторыми ,что этот корабль самый документированный в мире, но мне кажется, что самый лучший документальный фильм про ТИТАНИК - это "ТИТАНИК: Заключительное слово с Джеймсом Кэмероном" .Там показано столько фактов ,что ни один любой документальный фильм этого бы не показал, там даже представлена точная анимация тонущего корабля. И всё-таки классный корабль!!!
He did at least get his facts right with H.M.S the Hawk collision except for the Olympic losing a propeller blade Olympic lost her propeller blade 4 months earlier in a collision with a New York city harbor tug
Aquitania was longer, but I remember reading somewhere that Olympic maintained the Largest British Steamer because her tonnage was greater than Aquitania after WWI.
That's correct, and many believe that the Olympic class ships could get up to almost 30 knots, which is similar speeds to modern liners. The only reason why they didn't was because after Titanic, ship's captains were a bit more cautious, so Olympic and Britannic never got to experience full-pressure full speed. there was always one or two boilers left unlit. Titanic was the only one of the Olympic class ships to ever have all her boilers lit at once. and that was only for about 5 hours.
Titanic and Olympic were the largest ships from 1911 to 1913, Olympic was 40,000 tons, Titanic was 46,000 tons and Britannic was i think 49,000 tons. in 1913 the SS Imperator snaped that title from Olympic and the Cunard's beuties were 30 meters shorter than the Olympic-Class, Bruce Ismay saw that the deck space was excessive and you could put there extra necessities like a ciggar holder and a harm-water runing bath in the bath room. Titanic was the the first ship to have a Turkish bath, a swimming pool, barber shop and a squash-room, yes they were ships that were a bit more luxurius, if there was a ship that perpahs could rival with her, i would choose the SS Kaiser Wihelm der Grosse, her interios were like something like the Opera of Paris or even Buckingahm Palace wich btw she was the first ship to have four funnels.
dude you messed up the RMS Titanic was the largest ship in the world at the time she was nearly 100ft longer then cunards ships she was heavier then her sister ship and was the most luxurious ship ever built
As I understand it, Britannic was considerably longer than either of her previous sisters at 903 feet. She was also much wider having a second inner skin which the others did not. It is also interesting to note that the German 'Imperator' class liners designed by Albert Ballin of Hamburg-America were actually larger again and more luxurious than their British contemporaries. This trio of great liners came immediately after the Olympic trio.
Also, the Olympic class had a top attainable speed of 24 knots, with a regular service speed of 21 knots. The Mauritania and Lusitania had service speeds of 24 knots (26 knot max attainable speed). Meaning if the Olympic class went all out on her boilers and engines, they could actually match the 2 Cunard ships in terms of their service speeds. That hardly makes the Olympic Class "Considerably Slower". Been researching this since I was 8 years old. I'm 29 now, and you learn a lot in 20+ years.
That's essentially correct. Titanic's forward promenade was enclosed, and some of the B-deck promenade was used as cabin space instead, giving her a higher GRT in spite of having the same basic dimensions as Olympic. Interestingly, various modifications made to Olympic over the years (addition of a Cafe Parisean, conversion of some of her B-deck promenade into cabins, etc) meant she ended her career with a higher GRT than Titanic.
Titanic and Olympic were both 882.9 feet long. What made Titanic "bigger" was its gross tonnage register, that is, it simply weighed more than Olympic. To state otherwise as "fact" is, in fact, not fact at all. -Jordan Morris, great-great nephew of Titanic survivor Frank Morris / head writer for "Titanic at 100: Mystery Solved"
Also, GRT is a measure of enclosed space, not of actual weight of the vessel. The enclosed forward promenade and other features on Titanic resulted in 1000 GRT being added to the ship. While she certainly also weighed more due to those modifications, she didn't sit any lower in the water than Olympic did. The difference would be compensated for with ballast (less on Titanic) and slightly reduced loading capacity.
Yes. The RMS Aquatania was 901 feet. 19 feet longer than the Titanic. She was launched on April 21st 1913 but had the longest career of any ocean liner of the 20th century.
1:01 The Lusitania and Maurentania were 787ft and 790ft. The Titanic was 882.5ft, the Olympic was also 882.5ft, and the Britannic was 882.75ft. This makes the Olympic class longer than the Lusitania class. The Lusitania and Maurentania were faster though. That fact is correct.
If I recall correctly, the Brittanic was actually longer than either one of those two at 902 feet. I could be wrong about the exact length, but I do believe it was longer.
And according to a book I purchased years ago...Titanic had beds, for 3,500 passengers. She was not fully loaded with passengers on her first voyage as most people believe. In fact she was almost a thousand passengers short of full capacity. Now if she were full, it would have been all the more terrible....(and she had a coal bunker fire the entire trip)
He said that the Olympic and Britannic had modifications that made them larger than the Titanic... True, but those modifications were a direct result of the sinking of their sister...
If Titanic has sped up it would have put more turning force on the rudder, therefore the ship would of turned faster and possible have only hit 2-3 watertight bulkheads.
24 knot top speed at trials I mean. So you are right about Olympic being the only one to reach those speeds. I doubt they could have gotten over 25 knots though. Reciprocating engines can only go so fast and the stress would shake them apart over time as opposed to the Cunard's turbines.
Only slower by 1 knot all 3 sisters were the same size, and towered over cunard ships but titanic weighed the most. But at that time she was bigger than any other ocean liner.
980 feet long, is pretty big in my mind.Get a string, tie it to a tree and walk 980 feet out and stake it. You will be impressed.My lot line is 400 feet from the street back...I would have to double that length, then add another 180 feet, to match the Titanic.Huge.
They were significantly slower - a couple of knots is certainly a significant difference when we're talking about thousands of miles to cross. On the issue of length you are of course correct, I would imagine the uploaded has mixed up his measurements.
Unless the video is reversed or something, it appears that, at Counter 10:30, the Marconi wires are attached to the ship too far to the starboard side and the the curved roof over the gymnasium is see on the port side near the last foward lifeboat! Certain ventilators, cowlings and scirrocco fans seem out of position during this sequence as well!
Titanic's rudder, weighing approximately 101 tons, was comprised of six separate castings, bolted together to make her maneuvering equipment just barely adequate for a vessel of her size.
For the record, Olympic, Titanic and Britannic were all the exact same length. Titanic had more GRT (Gross Registered Tonnes), a measurement of volume not weight, due to having an enclosed forward A deck promenade unlike Olympic, among other things. Also it should be said that upon refits received after Titanic sank the Olympic ended up with a greater GT (gross tonnage) than Titanic. Finally the most obvious correction is that the Olympic class ships were about 100 feet longer than Lusitania and Mauretania. Also Titanic has never held the title of the world's longest ship nor the largest ship afloat as the SS Imperator had been launched in March of 1912 and already held the record for greatest GRT.
Actually Titanic was longer by like .02 meters than Brittanic and by like .05 meter than Olympic. So therefore Titanic is not only the Heaviest but also the Longest ship of the three.
White Star kept their service speeds at 21 knots because at that speed it took 600 tons of coal per day, and at 24 knots, it would've taken over 1,000 tons per day (1,900+ tons per day as Mauritania burned at her max attainable speed of 26 knots). The cost would have been enormous, so saving over 600-1,000 tons of coal per day was worth the 3 knot slower service speed. The increase in fuel consumption is almost exponential over 21 knots. You need to go back and do your research ALL over again.
In all my searching, I find nothing that tells me the Titanic was longer. Her gross tonnage was more, 46,439 vs 45,328 on the Olympic. That is where the distinction of largest comes into play. Not length. When HMHS Britannic was launched, she weighed 48,158GT, making her the largest of the three until she sank on 21 November 1916, when RMS Olympic regained the title of largest by default, being the last sister afloat.
It's a shame you did not do your due diligence in accurately describing/comparing/contrasting the Olympic Class gals to their Cunard counterparts since your video is otherwise both clever and ingenuitive! Titanic, in particular, revolutionized maritime style. All subsequent ocean liners paid homage to the yacht-like sleek lines and camber on the Olympic Class; the direct evolution in design from the White Star 4 funnels to Cunard's Mary and Elizabeth and the Normandie are quite evident.
Hmm, are you sure about the claim that Lusitania/Mauritania were longer than Olympic & Titanic? Every source I have found gives around 790ft for the Cunard liners, and around 890ft for the White Star Ones - 100ft longer. The SS Imperator, later RMS Berengaria, was longer, but wasn't launched until about a month after Titanic sank.
Mauretania was 240.8 m in length and Titanic was 269 m in length. Titanic was was biggest ship at the time of her maiden voyage!!! Get your facts right!!
Another error in the video: At Counter 10:47, when the stern's docking bridge comes into view... take note at which side of the ship the access ladder to that raised walkway is located... kind of similar to the famous 'flyover sequence' in James Cameron's film; the ship was 'flopped' in reverse because of the direction of the sunlight to preserve correct, 'historical' continuity during the sequence.
This is a beautiful model...aside from the unusual, uneven hull plating design and the inward curvature of the stern underneath the poop deck. Is the model available in the United States??
Lusitania was not longer than the ships of the Olympic Class. Also, Lusitania and Mauretania were not really part of the same class despite their similarities and complementary service in the Cunard fleet. Otherwise, great video. It was well done and interesting even though some of the details you included (such as the fourth dummy funnel) seem overstated and commonly known (at least among mild Titanic enthusiasts).
The Lusitania was actually nearly 100 feet shorter than the Olympic class making the Olympic class the largest at the time.
I remember watching this video 9 years ago... So many memories...
Lots of inaccuracies in this narration, ranging from the claim that the Cunard liners were longer than the Olympic class (they weren't) to treating GRT as a unit of weight (it's a unit of enclosed volume) and some other things.

At that scale you'd better believe I'm punching holes in all the windows and making interior rooms
Good Luck with that... you would destroy the interior support framing of the model.

Cunards ships were not longer, lusitania was 240 meters and titanic 269
+Gaat-je Niksaan That's true. All three Olympic class ships which were the Olympia, the Titanic and the Britannic where much larger.
China
olympic not olympia
I know! How could this narrator make such an untrue and obvious error?
i agree
Nice work...beautiful!
Did you know that her Rudder size was actually optimal for her Design? It did not require being larger at all.
He did at least get his facts right with H.M.S the Hawk collision except for the Olympic losing a propeller blade Olympic lost her propeller blade 4 months earlier in a collision with a New York city harbor tug
Simply Great the Schreiber Bogen Titanic.
Aquitania was longer, but I remember reading somewhere that Olympic maintained the Largest British Steamer because her tonnage was greater than Aquitania after WWI.
That's correct, and many believe that the Olympic class ships could get up to almost 30 knots, which is similar speeds to modern liners. The only reason why they didn't was because after Titanic, ship's captains were a bit more cautious, so Olympic and Britannic never got to experience full-pressure full speed. there was always one or two boilers left unlit. Titanic was the only one of the Olympic class ships to ever have all her boilers lit at once. and that was only for about 5 hours.
The detailing on that looks MUCH better than the $200 to $5000 model kits I've seen on one site.
5:47 - 5:55 , I almost lost it....
Cool model of Titanic
Titanic and Olympic were the largest ships from 1911 to 1913, Olympic was 40,000 tons, Titanic was 46,000 tons and Britannic was i think 49,000 tons. in 1913 the SS Imperator snaped that title from Olympic and the Cunard's beuties were 30 meters shorter than the Olympic-Class, Bruce Ismay saw that the deck space was excessive and you could put there extra necessities like a ciggar holder and a harm-water runing bath in the bath room. Titanic was the the first ship to have a Turkish bath, a swimming pool, barber shop and a squash-room, yes they were ships that were a bit more luxurius, if there was a ship that perpahs could rival with her, i would choose the SS Kaiser Wihelm der Grosse, her interios were like something like the Opera of Paris or even Buckingahm Palace wich btw she was the first ship to have four funnels.
dude you messed up the RMS Titanic was the largest ship in the world at the time she was nearly 100ft longer then cunards ships she was heavier then her sister ship and was the most luxurious ship ever built
As I understand it, Britannic was considerably longer than either of her previous sisters at 903 feet. She was also much wider having a second inner skin which the others did not. It is also interesting to note that the German 'Imperator' class liners designed by Albert Ballin of Hamburg-America were actually larger again and more luxurious than their British contemporaries. This trio of great liners came immediately after the Olympic trio.
Your Take On The Story Of Titanic Is Ok But Not Well Researched!!!!!!!! Love The Model Of Titanic You Have That Is Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Thanks! I'm currently working on a model of the Titanic.
Also, the Olympic class had a top attainable speed of 24 knots, with a regular service speed of 21 knots. The Mauritania and Lusitania had service speeds of 24 knots (26 knot max attainable speed). Meaning if the Olympic class went all out on her boilers and engines, they could actually match the 2 Cunard ships in terms of their service speeds. That hardly makes the Olympic Class "Considerably Slower". Been researching this since I was 8 years old. I'm 29 now, and you learn a lot in 20+ years.
That's essentially correct. Titanic's forward promenade was enclosed, and some of the B-deck promenade was used as cabin space instead, giving her a higher GRT in spite of having the same basic dimensions as Olympic. Interestingly, various modifications made to Olympic over the years (addition of a Cafe Parisean, conversion of some of her B-deck promenade into cabins, etc) meant she ended her career with a higher GRT than Titanic.
:"[ Titanic the ship of dreams and hope is a true pure Master piece, Yes Titanic sank 100 years ago but she's quite alive in my and our hearts!
You're right...sadly
Nice model
Titanic and Olympic were both 882.9 feet long. What made Titanic "bigger" was its gross tonnage register, that is, it simply weighed more than Olympic. To state otherwise as "fact" is, in fact, not fact at all.
-Jordan Morris, great-great nephew of Titanic survivor Frank Morris / head writer for "Titanic at 100: Mystery Solved"
A beautiful model in any case.
The Cunard line ships were almost 100 feet shorter, and Titanic could stay afloat with any 4 compartments filled with water not 3.
Since it could stay afloat with 4 then it could stay afloat with 3.
It couldnt with 5 compartments flooded
Also, GRT is a measure of enclosed space, not of actual weight of the vessel. The enclosed forward promenade and other features on Titanic resulted in 1000 GRT being added to the ship. While she certainly also weighed more due to those modifications, she didn't sit any lower in the water than Olympic did. The difference would be compensated for with ballast (less on Titanic) and slightly reduced loading capacity.
yes both the front forward compartments and stern could be flooded but only four of each (but ot at the same time)
If the Tianic has struck the New York it would of had to be repaired and than it wouldn’t of hit the Iceberg
Yes. The RMS Aquatania was 901 feet. 19 feet longer than the Titanic. She was launched on April 21st 1913 but had the longest career of any ocean liner of the 20th century.
Awesome model.Can you tell me whether you used a RC system for the propellers at 8:50?
I really enjoyed this piece of art...(DOCUMENTARY & MODEL BUILDING PART)... =/...Everything was great good job!!!!
titanic and her sisters were the largest ships the world ever saw no ship of her time was bigger and famous as her
that intro
is amazing
1:01 The Lusitania and Maurentania were 787ft and 790ft. The Titanic was 882.5ft, the Olympic was also 882.5ft, and the Britannic was 882.75ft. This makes the Olympic class longer than the Lusitania class. The Lusitania and Maurentania were faster though. That fact is correct.
If I recall correctly, the Brittanic was actually longer than either one of those two at 902 feet. I could be wrong about the exact length, but I do believe it was longer.
Aquataina was 902. Britannic was longer than titanic but it was still in the 880 foot range
And according to a book I purchased years ago...Titanic had beds, for 3,500 passengers. She was not fully loaded with passengers on her first voyage as most people believe. In fact she was almost a thousand passengers short of full capacity. Now if she were full, it would have been all the more terrible....(and she had a coal bunker fire the entire trip)
Hola hiciste un muy bien trabajo con tu barco por favor en donde compraste el kit para armar el barco
He said that the Olympic and Britannic had modifications that made them larger than the Titanic... True, but those modifications were a direct result of the sinking of their sister...
Titanic was in fact the longest ship in the world, the followed be imperator, then vaterland, and so on
and for the model to float you have to do some pretty extensive water proofing and ballasting for the model to float properly and not be top heavy
If Titanic has sped up it would have put more turning force on the rudder, therefore the ship would of turned faster and possible have only hit 2-3 watertight bulkheads.
24 knot top speed at trials I mean. So you are right about Olympic being the only one to reach those speeds. I doubt they could have gotten over 25 knots though. Reciprocating engines can only go so fast and the stress would shake them apart over time as opposed to the Cunard's turbines.
Great video - PLEASE do something about the music. It sounds like a cross between a Russian Funeral March and a Kindergarden TV show.
Only slower by 1 knot all 3 sisters were the same size, and towered over cunard ships but titanic weighed the most. But at that time she was bigger than any other ocean liner.
great video
Amazing! Where did you find the plans in order to build it? Thank you.
This is a kit... available from J.F. Schreiber Company in Germany.
980 feet long, is pretty big in my mind.Get a string, tie it to a tree and walk 980 feet out and stake it. You will be impressed.My lot line is 400 feet from the street back...I would have to double that length, then add another 180 feet, to match the Titanic.Huge.
But it was only 882 feet long, not 980
They were significantly slower - a couple of knots is certainly a significant difference when we're talking about thousands of miles to cross. On the issue of length you are of course correct, I would imagine the uploaded has mixed up his measurements.
cool well done
Unless the video is reversed or something, it appears that, at Counter 10:30, the Marconi wires are attached to the ship too far to the starboard side and the the curved roof over the gymnasium is see on the port side near the last foward lifeboat!

this is a nice show
awesome paper model! But does it sink..
Titanics rudder was big enough and it would even pass today
WhoStoleMySocks no it was to small
Idiot go and write the Titanics 100 year documentary
Titanic's rudder, weighing approximately 101 tons, was comprised of six separate castings, bolted together to make her maneuvering equipment just barely adequate for a vessel of her size.
For the record, Olympic, Titanic and Britannic were all the exact same length. Titanic had more GRT (Gross Registered Tonnes), a measurement of volume not weight, due to having an enclosed forward A deck promenade unlike Olympic, among other things. Also it should be said that upon refits received after Titanic sank the Olympic ended up with a greater GT (gross tonnage) than Titanic.
Finally the most obvious correction is that the Olympic class ships were about 100 feet longer than Lusitania and Mauretania. Also Titanic has never held the title of the world's longest ship nor the largest ship afloat as the SS Imperator had been launched in March of 1912 and already held the record for greatest GRT.
Actually Titanic was longer by like .02 meters than Brittanic and by like .05 meter than Olympic. So therefore Titanic is not only the Heaviest but also the Longest ship of the three.
White Star kept their service speeds at 21 knots because at that speed it took 600 tons of coal per day, and at 24 knots, it would've taken over 1,000 tons per day (1,900+ tons per day as Mauritania burned at her max attainable speed of 26 knots). The cost would have been enormous, so saving over 600-1,000 tons of coal per day was worth the 3 knot slower service speed. The increase in fuel consumption is almost exponential over 21 knots. You need to go back and do your research ALL over again.
Olympic also also had a curved wheel house.
If I could add the exact lengths of the Olympic class, : Olympic : 882 ft 6 inch long Titanic: 882 ft 9 inch long Britannic : 883 ft even.
In all my searching, I find nothing that tells me the Titanic was longer. Her gross tonnage was more, 46,439 vs 45,328 on the Olympic. That is where the distinction of largest comes into play. Not length. When HMHS Britannic was launched, she weighed 48,158GT, making her the largest of the three until she sank on 21 November 1916, when RMS Olympic regained the title of largest by default, being the last sister afloat.
It's a shame you did not do your due diligence in accurately describing/comparing/contrasting the Olympic Class gals to their Cunard counterparts since your video is otherwise both clever and ingenuitive! Titanic, in particular, revolutionized maritime style. All subsequent ocean liners paid homage to the yacht-like sleek lines and camber on the Olympic Class; the direct evolution in design from the White Star 4 funnels to Cunard's Mary and Elizabeth and the Normandie are quite evident.
"Was neither the longest-" RAWR!!! *smashes head against keyboard*
Nice video man!!
Hmm, are you sure about the claim that Lusitania/Mauritania were longer than Olympic & Titanic? Every source I have found gives around 790ft for the Cunard liners, and around 890ft for the White Star Ones - 100ft longer. The SS Imperator, later RMS Berengaria, was longer, but wasn't launched until about a month after Titanic sank.
Mauretania was 240.8 m in length and Titanic was 269 m in length. Titanic was was biggest ship at the time of her maiden voyage!!! Get your facts right!!
rock2life That sailed at the time but not the biggest being built.
AirplaneFreak HOLY FUCK GET YOUR SHIT IN ORDER

Another error in the video: At Counter 10:47, when the stern's docking bridge comes into view... take note at which side of the ship the access ladder to that raised walkway is located... kind of similar to the famous 'flyover sequence' in James Cameron's film; the ship was 'flopped' in reverse because of the direction of the sunlight to preserve correct, 'historical' continuity during the sequence.
Titanic’s rudder was not to small. If it was then they would of made modifications to the Britannic’s rudder but they didn’t.
Awesome
5:48 I wonder what that insect is doing on the Lifeboats at the starboard side of the ship :l
@Karnatz24 100% agree! They wanted it fast and luxurious and tried for speed, but early on they worked out that wasn't going to happen. :-)
the third funnel though is taller than the first and last
but only the 4 most foreward(dont know if it applies aft)! In the midsection she could only afford 2 compartments being floded.
actually it was the longest at the time of its sinking
The Olympic was exactly the same length and width!
Correct, but she was more heavier, making her the largest liner of the time
@ScreiberBogen, which paper model kit is this? The end result is fantastic!
-Jordan Morris, great-great nephew of Titanic survivor Frank Morris
The only reason I ever watched this video was to see the model
Man I wish I could get a kit for it
J.F. Schreiber paper models... search for it in your browser. Ebay sells them from time to time.
they had to make an entire new shipyard to build these ships, so back then, there was nothing small said about these ships
Please! Tell me where you obtained the photo-etched railings for this model???
Hallo,Is there a 1:200 titanic cardboard model for sale? I want to order from Turkey
1:09 There's a huge fly on the side of the ship!!! :O
I like this model because it show me how to make titanic olympic britannic
You mean show not sow
Yes i ment show
where can I get/buy 2 of this kind of model... with all the paper pieces and stuff?
This is a beautiful model...aside from the unusual, uneven hull plating design and the inward curvature of the stern underneath the poop deck. Is the model available in the United States??
at 05:49 there is a bug on the starboard side of the boat deck
Lusitania was not longer than the ships of the Olympic Class. Also, Lusitania and Mauretania were not really part of the same class despite their similarities and complementary service in the Cunard fleet.
Otherwise, great video. It was well done and interesting even though some of the details you included (such as the fourth dummy funnel) seem overstated and commonly known (at least among mild Titanic enthusiasts).
You Should repaint the titanic model to look like HMHS Britannic
