RMS Queen Elizabeth ● Cunard's Greatest Ocean Liner ● www.instagram....
My #1 favorite ocean liner of all time. She's the queen of the seas forever.
I can't even put into words the level of my excitement for when I will travel to Los Angeles in April 2024 to visit her for the first time.
Thanks bro, ur right I’ll never die
How was it?
My great aunt went on this magnificent ship in the 1950.s she never kept quiet about it… high light of her life… she’s 94 now and end of life, i am watching these clips now in her honour… she’s soon to be reacquainted on her dream come true again xx
The Queen Mary's final captain, John Treasure Jones, became somewhat of a celebrity for being the ship's final master. He is remembered as one of the 20th Century's most distinguished mariners, and rightfully so. He served with distinction in both war and peace. In fact, the final voyage of the Queen Mary wasn't the first time that Jones mastered a ship on her final voyage. He took the Mauretania to the scrapyard in 1965, skillfully docking the vessel without the aid of tugs. And to see him cry upon docking the Queen Mary for the final time in Long Beach is quite saddening. As much as we love these liners, we haven't experienced them for ourselves like those who sailed aboard them. You can tell that he loved the ship, and you can't help but feel saddened when he gives up command of her.
Captain fought with Long Beach not to cut her heart out it didn’t work.
Every time I think what they did to the Mary it hurts a lot.
Now they cut up her life boats because they don’t want to spend the money to refurbish her boats & davit’s makes me hurt inside!!!😮
There’s many ships such as the SS Rotterdam a beautiful ocean liner she was retired as a floating hotel, dinning & museum and she still has all her engines boilers everything and she is as popular today than as when she was sailing.
All the USS Navy ship’s retired as a tourist tractions .
@@jeffreyhutton8283 Oh wow that's so sad. I just visited the ship for the first time, it was spectacular to visit it. We saw one fairly worn down lifeboat. Too bad the others weren't still there. But I'm still grateful it's here to see and experience and wasn't destroyed in some other way.
So well done! It brought tears to my eyes, as I so vividly remember traveling on her as a small child in the late 50s. Such elegance, such grace. Never again.
You can still visit the ship at long beach it is in a lagoon and is now used as a historical hotel
@@jaxonn0918 do you know that talk about having haunted queen Mary ship name jackie or scary Mary part of the day away magic of the day away magic of the same universe New universal studios hollywood same spot as well queen mary
Muss sehr.schon gewesen sein für. Sie...,
Die RMS Queen elizabeth bleibt trotzdem die schönere
I would love to hear about your experience. How amazing!
The queen mary will always be the best queen of the oceans
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN
This is the most beautiful RUclips video dedicated to our illustrious Queen Mary. As an RMS Queen Mary author, historian, and researcher, I respect the hardwork you put into this. It's a graceful depiction of our Queen of the Seas. Thank you! Long live the Queen Mary!!!!
She is not just a masterpiece of art and the modern shipping industry, she is the invincible queen of the oceans, hopefully in one day I want to going to Long Beach to visiting the Queen Mary and watch when she show me her history and life, congratulations OlympicWS you are the best!!!!!👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️.
Someone in the comment section of another video described the Queen Mary as "One of the ugliest classic liners." I have nothing against that person, and I know that her design had been criticized as old fashioned, but I just don't understand: How???!!! How on Earth could a masterpiece like her be called ugly???!!! On the other hand, it is the same with me and the Normandie. Everyone seems to think she was the most beautiful liner ever built. For me, she is not necessarily ugly, but I just believe other liners looked better.
@@transatlanticnostalgia4655 i completely agree! Whenever anyone says anything is too "old-fashioned" you should immediately disregard anything they say because most likely they don't care for traditional beauty. The Queen Mary was truly graceful and elegant, whereas the Normandie was just a lavishly curvy in shape. Too many people are attracted by "what's different"
Mary@@transatlanticnostalgia4655 Normandie doesn't do it for me either, but the Quuen Mary is one beautiful Ladsy, inside and out.
I hope you can go one day. She truly is beautiful and regal--a true Queen of the Oceans.
@@Wilantonjakov And that's sad, I really love the classic liners. They have a grace and beauty about them you just don't see today. I never went for ships much after the Queen Mary, though fixed and cleaned up the United States could be beautiful in a 1960s sort of way.
Its so dang good this shot is strong for me 4:14 queen mary passing majestic its the largest ships before and now
So beautiful ❤️... watching from India 🇮🇳
This Video has been the coolest thing I have seen so far in the year 2022........Beautifully made....Thanks from Holland.
I believe as early as Hull 534 she was more than mere steel and British might, then art and luxury, war, survival (despite the hefty bounty hitler put on her hull), war hero and victory...she's had a soul all her own. How could she not. The majestic british spirit of survival and endurance...as self evidenced. This was like looking through a prism that illuminated all the details of her life; timeline, name, survival to this day despite obsolescence over half a century ago. She possessed the same other worldly sort of phenomenon and allure that surrounded The Beatles (and still does to this day; another parallel). Two 20th century forces of nature of enormous historical significance, products of that tiny island that played pivotal roles in pulling it thru the century in tact. Thank you so much!
Oh, and I Iiked the music, totally inspired deeper reverence for the treasure that is the RMS Queen Mary. (For me any way)
(Shame their device's instruction manual didn't give any for VOLUME DOWN/OFF)
Wonderful video. I’m seeing many images here for the first time. Many thanks for sharing. Keep up,the good work 👍
Such beautiful ships! It made me remember a small bath tub boat I had as a child.The carrying of the troops during World War 2 would make a great motion picture.❤️🎬
Great video as always! She definitely has a great long lasting career and glad that she's being preserved:) Long live the Queen Mary!
Another fine video marred by a Celtic styled soundtrack. The QM was one of the biggest art deco works of art ever produced, along with the even more stylish (and modern) Normandie, where the setting was crystal, champagne, couture and dinner jackets, and yet here we are assaulted by music somewhere between a Disney pirate movie and some dark, frigid, violent Kenneth Branagh film of the ancient past.
had to mute this one... nice music and everything and with all due respect to all concerned but... dial that bad boy down.
Splendid work, full in good taste, data and rare footage. Certainly a respectful way to remember this great lady of the seas, which happens to be the only survivor of the magnificent golden era of ocean liners. Thank you so much!
RMS Queen Mary : Queen Of The Atlantic
RMS Oceanic : Queen Of The Seas
RMS Titanic : Queen Of The Dreams
RMS Belgenland : Queen Of The Beauty's
That's looks like b340 room history documentary about biography history channel interview review and make sure most amazing thing happened haunted years queen Mary it's hard made into have been there before having haunted set up in the world queen mary of the day away from the house in the world and Disneyland Disney company class starts at Disney world full time years before own life story ture life movie made it back 🔙
4:19 its the queen Mary next to the SS MAJESTIC
Also remember that rms queen Mary was also used in titanic 2 (2010) to replace titanic
Probably the worst film ever made. Even the film a night to remember 1958 was better than that awful film
@@enriquemalparidabermejo8332 ik it was such low quality and how it sank made no sense what So ever! Its practically the spinning image of the Rms Queen Mary!
Long Live RMS Queen Mary!
It's looks like guide Legends ghost tour guide on queen Mary ship name jackie scary Mary pool area of the same place looks like new DVD releases on Netflix about it take care cost of the same place looks like new ride
I've seen some underrated videos.
But this is MASSIVELY underrated.
This is a work of art.
Thank you ☺
This video is so well done. Thank you! The music is so fitting. I felt myself getting emotional at times. My family and I are going to visit her in June and it’s so surreal to see her in 1936 and then think that I get to board her today.
Once again, OlympicWS, you have outdone yourself. What an outstanding production! As always I want to thank you for all the time and effort and research that went into the making of this video. It was all worth it and then some. There was so much in here that was new even to me after decades of loving and studying ocean liners. I especially enjoyed seeing so much footage that was new to me. I'm not sure why but motion picture footage gives a better sense of size and scale than still photographs.---In the rivalry between the Queen Mary and the Normandie I choose the Queen Mary. I acknowledge the superiority of the French liner's structural design but I find the Normandie's interiors to be too much of a good thing. Too I find the Queen Mary's more conservative appearance to be more pleasing. This is not to disparage the Normandie but just a matter of personal preference. I've read that the Normandie rarely sailed more than half-full so perhaps others felt the same way. The Queen Mary was the only one of the "ships of state"/superliners in service during the 1930's that operated at a profit. The Nieuw Amsterdam was profitable but much smaller.---I'm glad that the Queen Mary was still in service during my lifetime. I was six years old when she was retired.----Thank you again, OlympicWS,. To watch and listen to this video is to receive a wonderful gift.
It's looks like lady in white was in queen Mary ship before she with Jackie pool area before
I've seen her up close. She's still beautiful. The city of Long Beach is making her look beautiful again. She's been profitable once again as as hotel. Can't wait to visit her again.
Can a biography film be done about a ship? And I don't mean a documentary style. Because seriously there needs to be a Hollywood film specifically about the life of Queen Mary. Like a feature length one. Doesn't even have to be cgi, I'd even do animation!
I just love it it's going good I think about it I will see before I was looking at the same hotel room pool area of life live in line life story ture life movie all about queen Mary's dark grey ghost of view VIP tickets tour guide ghost tour legends tour of his own life story made into the office box office post office
I love the videos of the people of Long Beach welcoming her.
Amazing short film
Very nice
Now I watched the whole thing. If I can't count on any of your other videos to be superb, I know I can always count on you to do a lovely job on a lovely tribute to a lovely ship, as this latest one is. Stellar job as per usual. When this pandemic ends and I graduate high school, I'm really hoping I get a chance to travel to California. To visit family, yes, but also to visit the Queen Mary. She's a true queen indeed; a legend of the high seas and a wonderful part of our history. :) 👏🔱👑🛳
You will love her. I visited her twice and each time I found myself not wanting to leave.
Gracias a dios que ha llegado a nuestros dias, esta joya de la época dorada de los grandes transatlánticos.
RMS Queen Mary.. still here to represent them all: Olympic, Mauretania, Aquitania, Normandie, Rex, Michelangelo, all ships that made an era. Long gone but still part of the ocean
Extremely great work as always. The amount of work and effort put into these high-quality videos is amazing. I don't know if you take requests, but a video about the life of RMS Carpathia would be interesting.
I would like to make a video about Carpathia, but unfortunately there is not enough materials. It would create a "Powerpoit presentation" and I don't want that.
@@OlympicWS I completely understand. A simple slideshow would be pretty boring. Thank you for going through the time and effort to make high-quality videos about these great liners.
How did you enjoyed it?
It was great, but it would be nice to see a part two, acknowledging the last 54 years. There are a lot of great stories to tell of her life as a museum. I think it would encourage other generations to see her as more than a Halloween attraction.
I liked how you showed empty passenger spaces. It really gave us viewers a sense of changing times.
Love it hopefully theres going to be part 2
Very good idea!
@@OlympicWS so glad you like the idea! I love your channel and I appreciate all the work you put into these film. I live in Southern California and am blessed to be able to pay respects to her often. We are lucky that she even exists and I hope she will be appreciated by others.
Great video! I hope one day i could visit this majestic liner
Even Qm lost the blue ribbon, she's still the best especially today she's still on good maintenance unlike the abandoned ss united states in philadelphia, i hope they will restore it too..
A few small bits of trivia on the Queen Mary. The ship had to be turned around to go down the Clyde river to the sea - which was done on a very high tide; yes, the tide flooded up the river to John Brown's shipyard. In turning the ship around, its bow hung-up on one side of the river just as its stern hung-up on the other side. This was on a falling tide; had they not gotten the ship free, it would've sagged in the river and been wrecked. But the tugs were up to the task, and the ship was pulled free and turned successfully.
It competed with the French liner Normandie for the blue ribband, and ultimately proved the faster ship. Queen Mary and Normandie were the first thousand-foot-long ships; Queen Elizabeth would be the third. But Normandie was a technological tour-de-force, the only turbo-electric liner to hold the blue ribband - and Normandie only had 160,000 hp to Queen Mary's 200,000 hp. Normandie made-up the difference by having a revolutionary hull design with one of the earliest bulbous bows. Normandie's hull was designed by a Russian, Vladimir Yourkevitch, who'd fled the bolsheviks to France and was working as a day laborer at Renault when his design attracted the attention of the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique. Normandie was destroyed by fire in New York harbor shortly after the U.S. joined WW2; Yourkevitch was living in New York by then, and was unable to get the New York firefighters to listen to him, otherwise he could've instructed them how to scuttle Normandie upright in its berth to prevent it capsizing. Yourkevitch continued designing ships post-war, likely in partnership with Gibbs & Cox, the U.S.'s premier marine architects; the hull lines of the S.S. United States (still the holder of the westbound blue ribband) and the U.S. aircraft carriers look like they owe a great deal to Normandie's hullform.
Those of you who wish to spend a night aboard Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, may wish to hurry - its managing company has just filed for bankruptcy protection. Queen Mary is in poor shape, and even before bankruptcy its company could not afford the expensive repairs needed - Queen Mary may yet be scrapped.
Cunard should have never retired and sold both Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth.
It's like what did they think they were going to get out of selling them?
Ocean Liners were on their way out. i don't know what they were thinking by building QE2 when Ocean Liners were in decline.
And even though Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were over 30 years old, that really isn't that old. They could have been kept running for years to come.
The music is excellent so is the video
i really love it
just imagine the magnificence if the queen mary, the queen elizabeth and the normandie were ever joined by the largest of all RMMV Oceanic
Actually she wasn't the first queen. The one everybody forgets was Berengaria, which started life as Hamburg America's Imperator. (It's actually a good trivia question: "what were the Cunard queens?" Everybody knows Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Mary II, and Queen Victoria - but everybody forgets Berengaria.
The Video: ❤
The Music: ❤
Wow she is awesome.
Bravo!
It's interesting to see pictures of the Queen Mary.
Awsome
It's kind of weird how Queen Mary did what Titanic couldn't do. Mary had finished what Titanic had started. She is so kind to help the 110 year old wreck.
Titanic was only 14 years old during Marys maiden voyage.
The true unsinkable ship
Launched On May 25, 1958 Crew In 83, Passengers In 100, The Crown Lines For Royal Ship Until Welcome Aboard, The Queen Thoughtlight (Missed Name Micc in Micco) (O Top On 3 Funnel Not in The O On Funnel Top)
These guys literally made a whole cake for the ship
Amazing video and amazing music
My favorite ship is rms queen elizabeth and the second is rms queen mary
The queen marry saw black and white and colur
I always wondered why the QM was fitted out with stabilizers so late in her career??
She rolled to easy and to far. If you ever see the interiors, the hand rails in the corridors were put in after a violent storm she went through had people going all over the place. The stabilizers did not fix the issue completely. Fun fact: The novelist Paul Galico was on the Queen Mary when she had a steep roll and came back on beam. This gave him the idea of what would happen if she didn't recover, which became the novel "The Poseidon Adventure". All these beautiful ships had issues of some sort. The Normandie had a terrible vibration towards the stern that took a few years of refits to get rid of. The Queen Elizabeth was better designed as they learned from the Queen Mary's issues.
Excellent video!
Are you going to do a Redo of SS United States. And Great videos! Keep it up 👍
Ocean Liners such as the Mauritania, Aquatania, and then the Queen Mary & Queen Mary2 built much stronger than today’s Cruise ships stronger safer than Royal Caribbeans largest cruise ships and have 4 times more propulsion horsepower so they run over 30 knots.
Ocean Liners are built very tough to handle North Atlantic hurricane force winds. Cruise ships today not built to take on Atlantics hurricane force winds there hull design and low propulsion power they are made like riverboats they are fun boats.
Beautiful ship❤️❤️❤️
Yesh but is h
Excellent!
Great work
Of all of those pre-WW2 liners, I think the QM was perhaps the least aesthetically pleasing, at least externally. Whereas the Normandie, Bremen and Rex had a sleek, streamlined appearances, the QM seemed in many ways to be an enlarged and adapted version of previous Cunard ships. One passenger compared the QM and Normandie: "In my opinion, the Queen Mary is a grand English woman in sportswear and the Normandie is a very gay French girl in evening dress." William H. Miller wrote in "Famous Ocean Liners": "whereas the Normandie's interiors seemed to be overwhelmed by gilt, Lalique and black onyx, the Queen Mary was more polished lino, leatherette and oversized chairs." Clearly, Cunard knew their customers well and the QM was the more succesful, but by no means the most dazzling ship.
RMS Queen Mary: i still hold the blue riband
SS United States: i'm about to end this man's whole career
Dude. You're comparing incomparable things. Queen Mary was built in the 30s. Ss united states was built in the 50s. Also the SS united states was made of aluminum and weighed about half as much as the Queen Mary and was a much smaller ship. Ya if you take queen marys engines and slap them on a lighter and smaller ship obviously it will go faster.
@@jeromesevy1112 r/woosh
Queen mary was not a man it is a she
U forgot to mention her in movies. The most famous film involving Queen Mary was The Poseidon Adventure in 1972
Very nice film !!! Thank you very much !!!
