RMS Olympic in 1920 years

- Unique footage of "Olympic" - sisters ship of the Titanic. The lives of passengers on the cruise in the 20s of the shooting the beautiful interiors and exteriors of "Olympic" and many others.
with these recordings we have a notion of what the Titanic was like inside
Weren’t they nearly identical?
@@Titanic19127 We can assume that they were more than 95% identical.
Unfortunately, we are relying on the Olympic plans because the original Titanic blueprints ended up in the garbage many years ago. 50-60 years ago nobody cared about it.. Today it would be a treasure. We know that there were a few modifications to the Titanic compared to the Olympic, but these were more cosmetic matters.
The Grand Staircase and other highly iconic places were identical. As for the location of the individual cabins, I would not be sure anymore... The Marconi Room or radio operators' quarters, if you will, was in a similar location on the Olympic and the Titanic BUT not in the same location. The finish and shape of this quarters also differed between the two ships.
In general, an Olympic passenger wouldn't get lost on the Titanic and vice versa ;-) And maybe she/he wouldn't even notice the difference...
@@popmart3272 we do have plans of Titanic but they are hard to come by
@@popmart3272 plus this is after olympic was used as a ww1 ship. So im sure lots if changes after the 1911 design and then after having to be converted to a war time shio
Yes, I'm sure it was quite similar.
The first woman shown smiling and waving was Mae Murray; famous silent film star.
I felt sorry for the crazy clothes she had to wear!
The ship tender Nomadic still exists as of today, fully restored to it's prime condition back in the 10's
Yes.
It was interesting they still had the Reading and Writing room, I thought Thomas Andrews wanted to eliminate it for more passenger cabins because it wasn't used much.
Thomas Andrews passed away on Titanic, but the idea of removing the Reading Writing room for more passenger cabins (or scale it down) was carried out on the Britannic, but like everywhere on Britannic they never saw passenger service.
They later removed the Alcove from the Reading and Writing Room, making it smaller.....
An era of grace, elegance, and charm, the likes of which the world will never see again! A seat on an A-380 just can't compare. Pity!
Unfortunately every era has its ugly side, beneath all his elegance was barbaric classism, racism, sexism and homophobia, in addition to no penicillin and archaic medicine. Where the horrors of syphilis took a gruesome toll. A time when there was no such thing as "forced relations" with your wife and she was considered your property, and physically abusing that property was lawful -- that in fact she couldn't have a bank account w/o her husband's permission. A time when you could go to jail for having relations outside your race. But yes, superficially, it was quite elegant and charming.
I guess this is the closest you can get to seeing the Titanic on film
I think this is some of the most fascinating footage I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. Frame @ 6:04 I never knew Joseph Stalin moonlighted in the ship's kitchen department - obviously a Commi chef...
It's strange watching this, seeing some people that would be nearly 200 years old today. Blows my mind they had fireplaces in some cabins (the drawing room) on a ship.
I agree. Also I wish I live back in that time because there was not social media and no smartphones. People behave more politely and with respect 😞📱
I wish there use this more for Titanic stuff most people don't know when you're looking at pictures of Titanic before she sank you are 90% of time looking at Olympic
You can always tell by the open or closed promenade deck which ship it is. Because the ships were so similar I don't think White Star bothered to make promotional films of the Titanic.
@@1940limited Yes, but this holds for the exterior only. When it comes to pictures of the interior, it depends. For instance, there are images of the Cafe Parisien, which was only at the Titanic (at least in 1912), and I think there are some small differences visible when comparing the images of the Swimming Pool on both ships.
@@goldfing5898 You're right about that. I think a cafe was added to the Olympic at some time, but not sure.
Fantastic - I am a ship geek and have never seen this before. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.
EDIT: Seven years later I can confirm, yes, they modified Olympic's bridge, making it appear more like Titanic's.
at 1:57 That looks like Titanic's bridge has Olympic's wheelhouse was wider and curved at the front, so I have to wonder if they redesigned it at some point to be more like Titanic's or if that's actually just footage of Titanic. It's probably a redesign on Olympic.
During the 1912 refit on Olympic after the Titanic disaster, Olympics Bridge was redesinged, too. She became a new straight wheelhouse and the wider bridge nocks like Titanic.
Yeah they refitted Olympic to look like titanic..
The 20s were more than a decade after Titanic. Many changes might have been made by then.
Why the Olympic was not saved is a crime
I'm surprised it wasn't. It survived many years past Titanic and from the very day of that disaster its intrigued people. Olympic was her sister ship and so you'd think they'd have kept it as a museum of sorts.
@@KateLove21 Just imagine future titanic movies shot on the Olympic herself. Like her being used in pre-sinking scenes.
@@acenosce3334 what annoys me is that people always compare the Olympic with the Titanic, the Olympic had a far more interesting past.
The Great Depression hit. The ship company had to sell or scrap the Olympic just to survive
.
I understand that it would have been a long journey to be profitable but someone could have done it.
What is left of the Titanic is now under the water,
What is left of the Olympic is in these beautiful videos :)
Does anyone know what voyage(s) this footage is from. My grandmother was on this ship likely in 3rd class on the voyage that arrived in NYC on 28 Jul 1920 -- the one with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, and also young Cary Grant (Archibald Leach).
It’s not a real voyage, it was all staged for the advertisement.
Evgueni Mlodik
Lmao he thought
Unlike all the movies, which were shot on a sound stage on land, a ship at sea has some swaying.
Olympic is my favorite of the trio, and the 1920's were my favorite era for her. I wish she could’ve been saved, but I understand why she had to be scrapped along with the Mauritania.
Whoever is playing that piano is as impressive as the ship.
at 03:30 the background crowd are like ''Yes, rather. Good show old boy''.
That was lovely to see. I'd be curious to know what changes were made to Olympic for her use during WWI for troop transport and then return to domestic service after the War. By the time this movie was shot I wonder how much was original to her construction.
I recognize many rooms and features known from Titanic, e.g. Swimming Pool and Squash Racket Court, and the rowing and cycling stuff in the gym. 1:40 Isn't that the Empire State Building in the skyline? In this case, the recording of this scene would be of the early 1930s, not 20s. 2:05 Look, they have learned their lesson and did not forget their binoculars.
The Cameron sets were spot on
for Olympic, yes.
for Titanic, not so much.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Thanx for the rare video. I wish if some one will build a similar to the three sisters Olympic, Titanic and Britannic. At least we can feel how those poeple experinced those ships and a remebering for those who lost thier life in Titanic on the night of 14th April 2012.
It’s a nice idea, but I’m sure cruise lines are way too spooked to do it. Building a cruise ship that holds that many people costs upwards of a billion in today’s dollars. I don’t think it gives a good vibe to travelers to sail on a Titanic clone for a week. So the fear is not getting the money back for the investment.
@@finster1968 They're already doing it. It's called Titanic II. Look it up.
@@KateLove21 - Yes, I saw that. I looked it up not that long ago. Mind is blown....
Loving the number of fireplaces on board, I wonder how many where functional?
Only one. The smoking room has a chimney connected to it's fireplace
@@ATWTMVTVFTVSGAVRALPS interesting, thanks!
@@ATWTMVTVFTVSGAVRALPS interesting, thanks!
Beautiful film. So sad to think Olympic's nearly identical sister ship lays on the bottom of the Atlantic never having completed even one voyage.
Beautiful!
Shame they didn't keep the whole boat around as a way for the public to get as close to a titanic experience as possible
Titanic’s twin
When I think of the wait staff that perished serving the wealthy and the 3rd class steerage were not even considered for life boats, really quite disturbing.😮
Beautiful
Hi, I have a question ,do you know with who should I contact to getting know who is the owner of this footage ? Or this is a public domain? Beacuse i would like to use a few seonds of this in a documentary film. Thank you for your help!
I wish she would have became a hotel. It would have been so beautiful 😢
Beautifil!!
If only white star line was financially well in the 1930s.
But in reality... White star line was in bankruptcy in the 1930s.
If they were financially well, then they keep the olympic more in service like extra +10 or 5+ years in service. With the thought of preserving the olympic would be expensive at that time.
That's my theory.
What was the music used on here, very interesting. You really hear the influence of Ravel, a contemporary of this era.
I don't hear the similarities
The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912.
Since there’s probably gonna be a lot of “those” people: www.titanicswitch.com/evidence.html
Only Olympic class ship was hard core flapper
rms olympic 1915
The third class "steerage" lost their lives due to Greed pure and simply, these were hardest working folks on the LUXURY steam ship.
The movie is not always true. Many were called and stationed at aft well deck and general room by stewards waiting for further orders. Since language was a problem, it was very difficult to gather them. Some also got lost in navigation. Some were reluctant to leave the ship, as all their belongings were in the ship. Their accomodations were away from boat deck, this they got late. First class had closer accomodations, thus ease of access. Steerage weren't obviously locked behind gates.
Класс!) Слава Украине!🇺🇦🔱
