Dear sweetheart, I am sure that you have missed my posts. Not angry at you. My wife/girl friend of 28 years past. We would have had a child your age had there not been a miscarriage. This is a reminder to love the one you are with. Nature or man may snatch the person you love at anytime. Just look at your videos. God bless Sue Bango.
@@TheLittlered1961 I am so dearly sorry my friend! Rest in peace to sweet Sue Bango, and I hope you can feel this over-the-Internet hug! I just lost my grandmother in the last three weeks so I am right there with you. I hope this finds you well and please remember to take care of yourself!!
My parents immigrated to Canada after WW2 onboard the Aquitania. I still have momentos from their trip. So this was both well done and very interesting to me. Thank you for the awesome work!
Thank you so much for this . I really enjoyed it and love hearing about the Aquitania . I do believe the interiors were very beautiful indeed . Very well done 👏
Aquitania was a great ship that had a long service life and was a great help in times of war. I always enjoy your posting. Thank you Shipwreck Sunday. 💋
Thank you for covering the career of Aquitania. It is my favorite ship but there’s not a lot of information known about her. I learned some new details today again thank you for covering my favorite ship. The ship beautiful. Aquitania.
Eli, in all the years I have been watching your vids I must say that I think this was the most researched and logistics intense video you have produced to date. All the specs and carriage numbers of EACH of the MANY trips for this vessel must have taken MANY hours of research to produce the quality of this presentation. Most other ships did not have the transit history that this ship had. Digging through countless documents and data sources must have been excruciating. Your level of detail is, as always superb! Bravo and kudos!
The most beautiful 3 stacked liner in history finally enters your documentaries! Queen of Bermuda was so elegant and graceful! A cruise ship in war service!
@@shipwrecksunday my late grandmother loved her cruises on the Queen of Bermuda only three stack liner that later was two and then one with an tripod mast/stack.
At first i was rolling my eyes when i first saw ur channel i thought there were already so many videos about these ships, but your videos have become so relaxing, Asmr-ish to me, love them x
That is an excellent account of one of Cunard's ships that is sometimes forgotten about.. Just one correction the picture shown around 10.30, when talking about her fitting out ,is Mauretania not Aquitania.
Can I just say that I love how you inserted the modern term "bougie" and made it completely relevant in the context!! BTW, This is my very first time watching one of your videos and I absolutely love what you're doing because you obviously have done your research. Thank you!
Great job! Id definitely recommend your videos for anyone interested or newly interested in this subject. I especially like the economical way you frame the backgrounds as to how the ship was utilized/when she was utilized/and why..Big thumbs up!
A toast: To Aquitania! For dedication and service! For being great and being bad and bougee and looking flawless while doing it. 900 and 1 feet long! Its the 'and 1' that kills me. 🤣🤣
You nailed it! Great job as always, but i do believe you went a little deeper for this one. 🙂 She was definitely a proud & faithful servant, sad really for her ending. Like you said though it's better than sitting on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean rotting. It's too bad she couldn't have become a museum piece, but she fell into such a state of disrepair, cost prohibitive for anything but for her to meet the end. Still my hats off & salute such a distinguished career! Sounds like you mentioned a few to keep you busy and out of mischief for awhile 😂😂 You did a smash up job for the finish of Lusitania month! We'll see what you have in mind for June 😂😂
Thanks so much! I definitely get carried away mentioning other ships and making some comparisons to the Olympic Class in this video 😂 but all in good fun! I think she ended up where she was meant to be, but it would have been amazing to have saved her! Lmao June will be normal uploads for a bit, then we can do something big later in the year maybe 😂
25:30 The TV show "That Girl" had in it's closing sequence (seasons 4 & 5) these docks, but the piers had been stripped of the buildings and the end of the former Cunard pier had a giant helipad. That Girl, Marlo Thomas, is flying a kite on the former Cunard pier. Both sad and historic at the same time as the age of the Ocean Liners had ended.
@shipwrecksunday I will keep you posted on my review. Lol * Tea slurping intensifies. (Edit: Love your transitions, and your narration is top notch. Really can hear the difference in your confidence while still sounding genuine in your narration compared to your early videos. Both of you guys are doing very well kudos to both of you. Lastly, I have a book about Aquitania titled: RMS Aquitania The Ship Beautiful. By legendary maritime author Mark Chirnside. I had it out watching your video. It's the story of Aquitania in pictures, and if given the chance, I totally recommend it.)
It's an absolute shame that this legend wasn't preserved. Aquitania is probably my number 1 pick (with Olympic coming very close) for a liner that I would choose to be preserved.
Well researched, well written and very well produced! You always do a great job with your videos and I look forward to your next production. Thank you for all you do. As I mentioned before, I think a video on some of the ships designed by William Francis Gibbs would be interesting. The SS America for one had a long storied life that ended in disaster and the SS United States was his greatest accomplishment. Just consider such a ship...the fastest (by a ridiculous margain). I once read that she could literally do over 20 knots in reverse. The most powerful (at 250,000 horsepower). Still holds the Atlantic speed record. A huge source of pride for Gibbs AND the nation. I think a video on this subject is even more important now, considering the future of the SS United States is in jeopardy. And it's current condition is heartbreaking. Thanks again for your great videos!
Thank you so much! I've done a video on SS United States, and she truly is incredible! Her future is very uncertain and it's so sad to see. I'll definitely look into SS America, however! I know very little about her story and would love to learn more! Thank you so much for your support and suggestions! ❤️
@@shipwrecksunday So sorry...I missed the video on the SS U.S. somehow. I'll go back and look for it. I feel stupid suggesting something you've already done. Thanks for your reply to my remarks!
I made my own ocean liner named Oceanus, and I used both Aquitania and Britannic as an inspiration and also the fictional ocean liner SS Titan from the Futility book.
You did a excellent job on the history of the Aquitania .Question the forth funnel did work on the Aquitania . and the engine there were 3 engines rooms three turbines and one triple expansion engine too . that must been a site to see. I did no that. Tim :)
@@Jack-sf9zo Aquitania does share some similarities with Lusitania and Mauretania, but not as many as Britannic does with her sisters. Researchers, despite these differences, consider her a sister ship.
love the breakdown and its kinda funny in some ironic way before the companies merged The White Star Lines RMS Olympic classes only survivor was the Olympic the older sister as her younger sisters Titanic was sunk by an ice berg and Britannic hit an underwater mine. While Cunard's line of ships RMS Mauretania and Aquatania the middle and younger siblings only lost there oldest sister Luisitania Then when they companies merged becoming Cunard White Star Mauretania and Aquatania got an older sibling in the form of the Olympic.
Aquitaine last 4 funnel liner used in WW2 avoiding German and Japanese submarines thanks to large and small vessels escorting the liner despite her age for slow speed like any ships that were build before ww1 that were still serve for militar
She was still considered fast enough to outrun her escorts in certain situations if the escorts ships were larger, but she was definitely slower than more modern vessels!
Mauretania: Aquitania!!!! I heard you murdered someone! Aquitania: Who?? I don't know who? What are you talking about? Mauretania grabs Aquitania's pocket and reveals this picture. 14:36
The context: it is said that Aquitania was damaged on one of its voyages and she could not go to Lemnos, so Britannic would make that trip in her replacement. The irony is that this is one of the reasons why Britannic is where it is.
An excellent Video about Cunard`s Lesser known Triplet. Was it my imagination or was this quite episode - perhaps reflecting Aquitania going the extra Foot (In Length!).Wasn`t there once a Queen called Elinor of Aquitaine?
Not sure the Cunard ships really ran between New York and Liverpool. Most of the Cunarders had Liverpool as their port of registry. However, they generally sailed from Southampton.
19:20 In 1925 her reduction in passengers because of Immigration Quota; those must have been great comfortable cruises when she embarked on them because there were not so many people, unlike today cruises are chucked with every miscreant that can be conjured. Gosh those reduced cruises must've been wonderful.😊
I have a soft spot for 40015 Aquitania the BR diesel loco named after this ship, sadly the loco is long since scrapped but 7 of it's sister loco's survive.
My great Grandfather sailed on the RMS Aquitania during ww2 and out side of service he said it was comfortable and sometimes cramped but he also said he wished she was a museum he was also friends with the captain Who I forgot the name. Edit: He also said She was Gorgeous More beautiful the Mauretania but I say not they are all beautiful Edit 2: He sadly passed away 2 years ago age 94
Rest in peace to him and I thank him for his service!! I'm so glad you were able to get his input on that and that you shared it with me! It is a shame they didn't preserve her. Cheers!
The truth is that it confuses me if they are sisters or formula mates, because some say they are sisters, other formula mates (because it was only a response to the Olympic class), Aqui, Lu and Mau. They share the same design only that Aquitania is longer and has more things, as well as Britannic, she should be at least a half-sister like Ivernia and Saxonia
Being someone from a northern town in Canada I don’t pretend to be great with American accents. That being said, I have a good friend from Pennsylvania and every time I listen to one of your videos I catch the subtle similarities of the accent. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much! I'm from the Pacific Northwest, but a state that has a bit of a southern twang in certain parts, so that makes my accent a but weird at times 😂 I've had friends from the south say it was weird that we all sounded so southern 😂
I've seen a video of the Aquitania leaving New York for the UK in the 1930s, and on the wall of the dock was painted "Aqui" where she docked. So that must have been her nickname! Great video! 🙂🚢 I'm sure with how hard she was used during WWII, that probably didn't help with her condition, either.
That's fair! She was skinnier than the Olympic Class, so the rooms feel more narrow than Titanic or Olympic. However, she was wider than Lusitania and Mauretania so her rooms felt a bit grander!
It’s a shame she couldn’t be preserved! All we’re left with is the ugly rust bucket in Long Beach! Sorry I despise the Queen Mary just like the Titanic.
The Q.M. is beautiful and graceful, rendered great service in WW2 I am sorry you feel the way you do. In my opinion she should have been saved or scrapped. It's wrong that such an icon should be tortured the way she has.
@@nordisk1874 Once again, I'm sorry you feel that way. To me she is beautiful and stately. I am biased, I have family connections to both the QM and QE.
One day, maybe in 300 years or so, she will probably fall by the wayside, but I hope I'm wrong! I'm so glad you were able to learn about her in this video!
So here's the deal. It's a VERY common misconception. The 18th Amendment did NOT prohibit the consumption of alcohol. The Amendment: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The brewers and wineries stayed in business. Instead of selling beer or wine, the breweries would sell malt drinks (think Goya's malt beverage). The wineries were compressing grapes into biscuit form and all one would need to do is add water and yeast. The whole thing was a farce and the amendment was enacted to appease a bunch of Bible-thumping women, aka, the "Temperence Movement." At no point between 1919 and 1933 was it ever illegal to drink.
Wow, we are already at the end of Lusitania Month! Thank you all for all the love! ❤️

After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

The brewers and wineries stayed in business. Instead of selling beer or wine, the breweries would sell malt drinks (think Goya's malt beverage). The wineries were compressing grapes into biscuit form and all one would need to do is add water and yeast. The whole thing was a farce and the amendment was enacted to appease a bunch of Bible-thumping women, aka, the "Temperence Movement." At no point between 1919 and 1933 was it ever illegal to drink.
