They were competing with the prewar German liners with their double height swimming pools with marble benches (and steam pipes passing through them to keep them warm). All that marble made the German ships prone to rolling heavily however.
The swimming pool definitely looks a lot better in Britannic than Olympic and Titanic. Something I never really understood is why they didn't try to cover up the exposed metal walls and pipes in Olympic and Titanic with wall panels to make it look fancy.
The Britannic Organ was rediscovered in tact in 2007. It was designed to be operated both manually with pedal and keyboard, and automatically with paper rolls.
Создается впечатление, что обстановка на " Британнике" более легкая и не такая гламурная по тем временам, как на " Титанике"!😊 Merci! Безусловно, что родство этих двух кораблей весьма ошутимо... C'est tres interessant
Great vid! congrads to the maker. As a titanic nerd sine first reading about the wrecks discovery, I have to say that this reconstruction of britannic confirms my suspicions. The most successful space on the original sister ships, Titanic/olympic were its forward grand staircases. They were the architectural masterpieces of those two ships. They had everything, perfect. proportions, incredible design, every detail complemented the next. The irish oak paneling, the stunning glass domes, the beautiful carved clocks and upper landing murals, the bronze cherubs, the white marble floors. and most importantly the flow of the space. Sure the sister ships had detailed spaces like the Dinning salon and lounge but they were understated elegance, with the mens smoking room being the over the top exception. But that staircase must have been breath taking . Then I look at the britannics grand staircase and think, failure! That huge organ is basically a two story rectangular wall that overpowers the space, destroys the flow by cutting the space in half and worst of all if you look at 0:20 you see that what is that first landing goes from a space to stop and admire the beauty, to a congested, narrow passageway where you quickly have to move right or left to make way for the next person going up or down the stairs. And esthetically the organ does nothing but compete with the elegance of the carved clock wall in front of it & the other details of the space around it. Organ music could have been added to the space by hiding the instrument and not having the loud two story monster a few feet from your face when you reach the first landing.
If she had become a passenger liner as originally intended, she would have done the transatlantic crossing like her sisters. But she went to the Mediterranean to pick up wounded soldiers since the admiralty needed her as a hospital ship during WW1.
Just a little fix up. The correct term is ocean liner, not cruise liner. Cruises take you on leisure voyages while ocean liners took you from one continent to the next on a set schedule before air travel existed. So you took an ocean liner cause you needed to.
That organ with the curved balustrade is just too much. No wonder why WSL didn't want it for Olympic after Britannic sunk. I just think Titanic was the perfect balance between Olympic and RMS Britannic
The organ is no improvement. The architecture with the bowed balcony on Titanic is much more pleasant and open. The green linoleum looks also not so timeless like the cream ones on Titanic. But watched alone without comparing definately a beautiful ship.
The creators are the highly renowned ‘Titanic Honor and Glory’ group and are exceptionally famous in the Titanic world. This is just a short fun game, walking experience to demonstrate Britannic. They just probably didn’t model the smoking room.
Ну, "Британник" - исключительно жертва войны. После "Титаника" внесли изменения, повышающие шансы для людей спастись при крушении (и они сработали отлично). Не будь на его пути заминированных немецкими минами вод, дослужил бы до полного морального устаревания, как "Олимпик", который вообще немецкую подлодку потопил, отделавшись царапинами (не стоило ли "Титанику" протаранить айсберг? Вопрос, на который мы никогда не узнаем ответ...)
That pipe organ would have been ripped out before the end of the first year of service. Nobody wants to hear church music while they're having cocktails before dinner.
There is a lot of secular music written for organ, especially music for entertainment to accompany silent movies and theatre productions. At the time Britannic was built, a self-playing symphonic pipe organ would have been very much in vogue.
they ruined the grand stair-case, it looks cluttered, ugly, there is no "Coliseum" like vibe, because the organ takes all that space, its kind of lame that you need to go down and up the stairs to get from starboard to port-side and that AWFUL color GREEN!!!! but an Absolute Superiority above Tit and Oly, is the fact the Elevators go all the way up to "Boat-Deck"
I love how you inserted the music from the REAL Britannic Organ!
The swimming pool on the Britannic was definitely a huge improvement over the one on Olympic and Titanic. Shame this ship never saw passenger service

Ya to bad the ship was never completed at lest you can find parts of walls and room from rms ship IRL
😢😢😢😢😢
I love that Britannic would have had a special room for kids to play in!
The S.S. France of 1912 had been the first. So many of the shopping companies would scout out rival ships and copy their best features.

Nice!
Britannic’s interior was more luxurious than her sisters Olympic & Titanic, but unfortunately she converted into a hospital ship
Such beautiful animation! I like that they included a room for the children passengers to play in. Thanks for the uploads💕🚢
I’m glad the organ music got softer the lower the decks, because it was terrifyingly loud at some points and kind of destroyed the experience.
Notice how you can't see the frames in the boiler room. They are covered by the inner hull plating.

Still better then the Mary's grand staircase, then again almost anything is!
Awesome "What If" video. Britannic was to be a cruise liner and sail the Med? with Titanic's details and pipe organ

I like that fancy curved pink mixture marble bedroom sink in the Georgian Parlor Suite C67 and C69. Nice. TD Atlanta
A similar rocking horse was in "A Night To Remember " movie. TD Atlanta

was the kid room the same place where the gym was on the titanic:)
No … the qym was on the starboard side of the ship the kids room was on the opposite side wich is the port side
I was just wanting to know what this ship would've looked like
The interiors seem lighter and more airy than Titanic. Perhaps taking a leaf out of Aquitania's and Imperator's book.
The organ is no improvement. The architecture with the bowed balcony on Titanic is much more pleasant and open. The green linoleum looks also not so timeless like the cream ones on Titanic. But watched alone without comparing definately a beautiful ship.
I feel the same. As a stand alone, great. But the open concept seemed more like a palace
Maybe they should have placed the organ at the aft staircase instead and kept the forward staircase like the Titanic.
The music is beyond irritating
Funnily enough, it's from the actual organ that was intended to be on the "better" Britannic.
I heard the Britannic was the sister ship or the brother ship,of the Titanic!!!😝
Yes we already know that Titanic and Britannic are Sisters
For some reason the elevators scare me 😂😂
You probably would have been caressed by air from those grilles whilst waiting for cars as they ascended & descended. Fragrant with light machine oil.

So the creator don't really know what the first class smoking room would have looked like?

I assume you mean "Georgian Style Parlor Suite"? There's no such thing as "Gregorian Style" in decoration or architecture.
two twin cruise ships, same company, and both at the bottom of the sea with thousands of victims, very strange
I know its still tragic, but wasn’t there only 30 deaths on the Britannic?
They were Ocean Liners….

Самонадеянность в первом случае и война во втором. "Олимпику" повезло больше.

Yeah, you shouldn’t stereotype Organs as Religious Music

its kind of lame that you need to go down and up the stairs to get from starboard to port-side
and that AWFUL color GREEN!!!!

On that time, those are welcome changes
The organ music was AWFUL! Great visuals though
