Those are some beautiful-looking ships. You don't really see that in modern liners. They look more like floating apartment blocks. Georgic and Oceanic III were starting to lean that way, but in my opinion, they still have a powerful elegance to them that their modern counterparts just don't have.
I will say even at the time of the Olympic class it was going that way it just took time. Boats started out as iron versions of sail ships with empty decks then they got a deck house that was one story by the time of Olympic it was 3 stories and now the whole ship is a block. And yeah the lack of elegance thing is late capitalism, ships are a reflection of the era in which they are built and in this era that means lots of useless tacky junk and cramming in as many people as possible to make as much money. There was nothing on an Victorian ocean liner you couldn't find on land and with a cruise ship there's nothing wrong you won't find on land.
Loved seeing the Olympic Class Sisters together, brings a tear to my eye! I would have loved to have seen a real life picture of all three completed, and berthed together.
@@wurly164 And another of Olympic and Britannic. Actually Britannic also was side by side with Titanic, but in the shipyard and Britannic didn’t even looked like a ship at the time.
They merged with Cunard so to a degree they do. I believe for a time it was called Cunard-White Star. Also, today on Cunard ships, their room service and other personal service is known as the White Star service.
Beautifully done! Bravo! I like the way you brought back the Nomadic for scale at the end. And the slow pan up to help compare them all was a nice touch too. Great work!
The RMS Majestic was originally a German ocean liner of the HAPAG (Hamburg Amerikan) company called SS Bismarck and together with her sisters SS Imperator (RMS Berengaria) and SS Vaterland (USS Leviathan) were delivered as reparations to the Allies after the WWI
@@TheOriginalJphyper and fitting, as these ships were originally built as a competition for the Olympic class with both HAPAG and White Star Line emphasizing on size, while Cunard and NDL were more focused on speed. It took until 1936, when Cunard's Queen Mary was the first ship to carry both records.
It's cool to see that you included Britannic's last Gantry Davit at the port side that was not installed when the war started. It's makes Britannic complete. If only RMMV Oceanic was actually completed. She would've saved White Star Line and would still rival Cunard to this day.
If Oceanic 3 had been completed, the Queen Mary would likely not have been. This is because the WSL and Cunard line were asking for money from the British govenment, and they were only going to hrant money to one contract. If WSL had won the contract, we probably would not have the QM.
As after that project was scrapped the years late white star went bankrup and had no choice but to let Cunard to be there saving grace and bought them out becoming Cunard white star line. White star was not happy with the decision but they had no other choice or face bankruptcy.
If Oceanic 3 was created in 1930's, The White Star Line would've lost a tremendous amount of money, But if they possibly still have money to support Oceanic 3, Maybe it WOULD still rival Cunard today with more modern WSL cruise or ocean liners
It was an odd choice since it wasnt finished even with the bow gantry davit, Britannics design included 8 gantry davits, 2 at bow 4 at stern, and 2 at the stern superstructure island
If you put four SS nomadics end on end together that's almost the same length of the Olympic class liners Olympic , titanic , and Britannic it just shows you how vast in size those ships are
Love these videos and it’s just reminds me why I love the Olympic Class so much. I admit I fell in love with Titanic when I picked up Ballards book in elementary school back in the 90’s but to this day those are the most beautiful trio of ships ever built in my opinion 🤷🏼♂️
@@Loucap_ lol your right about failed honestly!! What are your favorite ships ? And if Titanic disaster didn’t happen a lot of people wouldn’t know about these Great ships from that era including myself more than likely!!
For anyone who loves and feels loss over Olympic there is a lovely tribute sea shanty to her called "Pride of the White Star line" by the Longest Johns. How I got into reading and watching up on cruise liner history
Most, including myself expected the Titanic and Britannic to be the largest of their fleet. I don't think it helps that the Majestic II just looks smaller in most aspects (3 funnels, stubbier looking height).
I'm not here to defend the modern cruise ships, because they are ugly beasts and noone would make me set foot on any of them, but those are two different cathegories of ships built for different purposes. A liner was supposed to be fast and powerful to maintain a regular schedule. Thus it had to be hydro/aerodynamic with deeper draft and not overly tall superstructure because it was supposed to sail through rough weather without having delays. Its purpose was to take you quickly and reliably from point A to point B. Whereas with cruise ships the travel itself is the goal. They are definitely not fast (most of the modern cruise ships have the same speed as Titanic which itself was by no mean the fastest ship of her age), they avoid rough weather and you are SUPPOSED to spend as much time as possible on it and thus they cram as meny amenities as possible on them thus making them look like the bloated monstrosities they are.
Crazy…truly. All the rest get scrapped or were lost at sea, but the smallest and arguably most bland looking one (still looks cool but compared to the grand majestic glory of the others it’s pretty standard looking) survives. I’ve walked around on it, it’s docked up in Belfast at the Titanic museum.
@@ruxrat yes and no.The last true white star line ship (as an individual company) is considered the tender SS Nomadic. But yes if you still consider white star line after the merge with Cunard.
RMS Atlantic was interesting. I'm guessing it was built around the time that steam power was coming in, but hadn't completely removed sailing technology yet.
S.S. Atlantic of the Oceanic I class. She was launched like the first of the class, the Oceanic in 1870. She then tragically struck rocks on her way to Halifax to refuel the ship.
I think the ships of a line tended to get larger as they went. Interiors were also rearranged. The size of a vessel also depended on the needs it was built to meet. Also, some of those ships were built by German lines, and turned over as reparation costs. _Britannic_ and _Georgic_ were built smaller than the Olympic-class because _Olympic_ herself was sailing less than half full, so smaller ships were seen as what was needed. But _Imperator_ and her sisters were larger than the Olympic-class, yes.
She's very beautiful I agree, however I always think of the German trio, the Imperator class as very industrial looking, with interiors overdone and way too large. Just my take obviously.
I also got one. Let's Say White Star Line loved to use the Oceanic II, the Medic for Australian cargo service and the Olympic alongside the Majestic II in the 1920's for postcards.
A few things you got wrong. first, Britannic never carried the RMS prefix as she didn't enter service as a transatlantic passenger liner and second when you said "1911" if you saying the year they entered service, Britannic enter service as a hospital ship in 1915.
@@billhosko7723 Hey kiddo, stating a fact doesn't make someone a "Karen". Lemme guess, are you a liberal? No wonder you hate facts and call people Karen.
Did White Star Line have a fascination with words that end in “-ic”? Because pretty much all of their ships have a word like that. The Nomadic, the Olympic, the Titanic. (Ignoring the fact that some of them are the “II” or “III” of something of course.)
It was their signature. Cunard were the same with "-ia". Lusitania, Mauritania, Aquitania, Carpathia etc, although now use "Queen -". Holland America has always used "-dam". Leyland line used "-ian" (Californian).
According to the plan, the Oceanic was supposed to be faster than the Queen Mary 2. About 30 knots (Queen Mary about 29 knots) Lord Kilsant, who ran the White Star Line, wanted to use diesel-electric engines that would drive four propellers instead of traditional steam engines. But the global crisis disrupted plans.
Baby of them all NOMADIC is still alive, well and beloved. The only one left of all the White Star Line. The baby. Cared for in the yard that built her in 1911 in Belfast.
@@Dbodell8000 it wasn't "Identical" there were significant changes on both of the three. Britannic was supposed to be the most luxurious of them however, Olympic had gotten similar if not more luxurious interiors than both Titanic and Britannic in the 1920's.
just because it sank and is the most famous shipwreck (likely due to the 97 cameron film) does not by any means make it the most elegant over the other white star steamers 😅
There was a common distinction between White Star Line ships. and Cunard Line ships. and that is all White Star Line Ships the names ended IC. and all the Cunard Line ships names ended in IA. except for the Queen Mary.
Do we agree on the fact that the RMS Atlantic is just beautiful ? By the way, I’m making some research about it and it say « SS Atlantic » which one is true between rms and ss ?
Historically, prefixes for civilian vessels often identified the vessel's mode of propulsion, such as "MV" (motor vessel), "SS" (screw steamer; often cited as "steam ship"), or "PS" (paddle steamer). Prefixes indicating a vessel's purpose, e.g. "RMS" (Royal Mail ship), or "RV" (research vessel), were also used.
Even before the video started I looked at the progress bar and seeing the views bump around 2:14, I knew immediately where to look for Olympic and Titanic :D
Without Titanic sinking there would have been no 1913 refit. And any future refits would have been carried on both of them thus Titanic would have always been the larger one.

Back around 2010 I knew a guy that would pay to clean out old houses. He would take the items and sell what he got out of the houses. He was not the greatest at the value of the items he was selling, most time he had no clue to what he was doing. One day he brought in a couple truck loads of items. He had two steamer trunks and sat one of them on an antique beer barrel dolly ( the wooden dolly with steel wheels) I asked about the steamer trunks and he said he sell me the trunks and throw in the dolly for $100. I grabbed them. These steamer trunks were locked and had no keys, so I had keys made for them by a locksmith. The one steamer trunk stood upright and over 4 foot tall. I did not pay attention to the decals on this trunk until the locksmith pointed it out to me. There it was Red Star Line. (not Whute Star but close) - The inside was in fantastic condition. When you open it up, the door is like a dresser with drawers. The inside has a bar running across on the upper part with unremovable haners. Basically a carry-on closet. This steamer trunk could e from any where between 1871 - 1934 as that would have been the time period for Red Star Line.
It's a shame there's no Afric or Persic here that served the Liverpool-Cape Town-Sydney route. I have only ever seen them in small grainy photographs and was hoping for a 3D model! They came to my part of the world in Port Adelaide. There's even a couple streets here named after them!
Were the only White Star Line ships with 4 funnels, RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic, and HMHS Britannic? While watching this I didn't really pay attention to the funnels, since the video was moving quite fast
Yes, but the Titanic ll can be different the Titanic, there are cases: 1. She's will be Oceanic 3-sister ship 2. She's will be modern ship today 3. She can be smaller ship like MV Britannic 3 and MV Georgic 2 4. If they want to built a replica of Titanic, there she is
RMS Atlantic - struck rocks off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1873, and 560 people died. It was the worst maritime disaster in the world at the time SS Laurentic - After being converted from a passenger liner to an armed merchant cruiser during WW1, the Laurentic struck German undersea mines and sank, killing 354 men. SS Arabic - Was sunk in 1915 during WW1 by a German U-Boat, killing 40 passengers. This event occurred not long after the sinking of the Lusitania and reignited the public's anger toward the Germans RMS Titanic - We all know what happened there RMS Brittanic - Serving as a hospital ship in WW1, the Brittanic struck a naval mine near the Greek island of Kea.

According to the plan, the Oceanic was supposed to be faster than the Queen Mary 2.
About 30 knots (Queen Mary about 29 knots) Lord Kilsant, who ran the White Star Line, wanted to use diesel-electric engines that would drive four propellers instead of traditional steam engines. But the global crisis disrupted plans.
That and his shady deals that left WSL more or less bankrupt.
Its like Olympic titanic and britannic met in the afterlife cuz theyre next to each other:(((((
So many White Star Liners. Thanks. 🚢
This vid showed 24 ships, they had way more than that having 89 ships in total
@@hans7500 they sure showed a lot of them, though. But good seeing, though. 👍
There's something about these old steamships that makes them so pretty. New ships look like giant bathtubs.
The beautiful and legendary ships of the mythical 😎🚢White Star Line
Baby of them all NOMADIC is still alive, well and beloved. The only one left of all the White Star Line. The baby. Cared for in the yard that built her in 1911 in Belfast.
THE TITANIC IS A LEGEND AND ALL VESSELS IN ( C )
Gorgeous video! Thank you. The Titanic... still seems to have a design/elegance edge over the others.
How’s that it was identical to Olympic and Brittanic?
@@Dbodell8000 it wasn't "Identical" there were significant changes on both of the three. Britannic was supposed to be the most luxurious of them however, Olympic had gotten similar if not more luxurious interiors than both Titanic and Britannic in the 1920's.
@@Loucap_ Yes but in the 1920s the Olympics interiors were basically the same as they were on Titanic.
just because it sank and is the most famous shipwreck (likely due to the 97 cameron film) does not by any means make it the most elegant over the other white star steamers 😅
There was a common distinction between White Star Line ships. and Cunard Line ships. and that is all White Star Line Ships the names ended IC. and all the Cunard Line ships names ended in IA. except for the Queen Mary.
Interesting how many different ship names WSL though of that ended with the letters “ic”. Many I’d never heard of.
That was their tradition since Thomas Ismay. I'd Say my favorite name for these is Olympic, Teutonic, Oceanic, Atlantic and Romanic (maybe medic).
@@Loucap_ I know. And Cunard used “ia”.
@@LDDavis911 Indeed. Red Star Line used "and" at the end of the name. for their ships.
@@Loucap_ That’s actually because Red Star Line was Dutch and Dutch names of countries end in “land” hence Belgenland, Lapland, etc
Do we agree on the fact that the RMS Atlantic is just beautiful ?
By the way, I’m making some research about it and it say « SS Atlantic » which one is true between rms and ss ?
Historically, prefixes for civilian vessels often identified the vessel's mode of propulsion, such as "MV" (motor vessel), "SS" (screw steamer; often cited as "steam ship"), or "PS" (paddle steamer). Prefixes indicating a vessel's purpose, e.g. "RMS" (Royal Mail ship), or "RV" (research vessel), were also used.
Thanks for the dates!
CC never fails to amaze
I like the White Star Line including it's ships like Titanic Majestic OceanIc Britannic Olympic and More
Even before the video started I looked at the progress bar and seeing the views bump around 2:14, I knew immediately where to look for Olympic and Titanic :D
Many ship ranks would’ve been completely different if it were by mass.
(Olympic was larger than Titanic by mass after her refits)
Without Titanic sinking there would have been no 1913 refit. And any future refits would have been carried on both of them thus Titanic would have always been the larger one.
I was on a ship that had a similar interior design to the Olympic for Christmas the ship is called pasific explorer (it's an Australian ship)
Heres the list of the fates of all of the ships listed here! Enjoy!

Thanks!
@@caljucotcas You're welcome. Just helping people wondering about the fates of these.
The Oceanic 3 is scrap and her metal turn to built MV Georgic 2, i think Harland & Wolff already to built her but by Great Depression and the Queen Mary is completed but the Oceanic just inly a keel so their scrap her and turn her into MV Georgic 2
it's like a fleet named by the people behind the Asterix comics.
We all love white star line,
Also the 110th anniversary of titanic,
Aah, the Olympic, The Titanic and The Britannic! The ships of my dreams!
a foot note under each boat letting us know what happened to them would have been very nice!
Just because i'm a nerd

Hey folks... yet another Karen... taking a lovely/beautiful presentation and finding fault... Too bad, more of these Karens, just don't make videos themselves...
@@Loucap_ Gotta love how there's always someone lurking who knows about a given subject.
Your nerdship is appreciated, buddy! 👍
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid thanks. Please correct me if I had some wrongs, I just decided one morning to use my knowledge of the White Star Line, I was too lazy to verify on Wikipedia or my books. Hope you liked it!
May the Ship Nerds within us enjoy each other's knowledge!
There was just something unbelievably elegant about white star that cunard never had.
White Star Line made some really pretty ships
respect the first one as its was the white starlines last ship
"Mom can we see the Titanic?"
"We have a Titanic at home."
Titanic at home: 1:18
Awesome!
It would be also great to have end of life year for each ship.
2:18 ..the one we came here for!
Back around 2010 I knew a guy that would pay to clean out old houses. He would take the items and sell what he got out of the houses. He was not the greatest at the value of the items he was selling, most time he had no clue to what he was doing.
One day he brought in a couple truck loads of items. He had two steamer trunks and sat one of them on an antique beer barrel dolly ( the wooden dolly with steel wheels) I asked about the steamer trunks and he said he sell me the trunks and throw in the dolly for $100. I grabbed them. These steamer trunks were locked and had no keys, so I had keys made for them by a locksmith.
The one steamer trunk stood upright and over 4 foot tall. I did not pay attention to the decals on this trunk until the locksmith pointed it out to me. There it was Red Star Line.
(not Whute Star but close) - The inside was in fantastic condition. When you open it up, the door is like a dresser with drawers. The inside has a bar running across on the upper part with unremovable haners. Basically a carry-on closet. This steamer trunk could e from any where between 1871 - 1934 as that would have been the time period for Red Star Line.
It's a shame there's no Afric or Persic here that served the Liverpool-Cape Town-Sydney route. I have only ever seen them in small grainy photographs and was hoping for a 3D model! They came to my part of the world in Port Adelaide. There's even a couple streets here named after them!
At least theres Medic
Were the only White Star Line ships with 4 funnels, RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic, and HMHS Britannic? While watching this I didn't really pay attention to the funnels, since the video was moving quite fast
And Britannic Only Hospital Ship
You Could Edit The Text For The Oceanic 3 “(1929) Cancelled In 1930”
1.1 Olympic has 4 paints
1. In her Dazzel
2. Medic ship ( HRMS )
3. Troop transport
4. Livery Dazzel
2.1 biggest in the world
3. Olympic& britanic
2. Icon of the seas
1. Knock nevis
One thing what i think:
If the WSL was still active it would have already built the Titanic II
Yes, but the Titanic ll can be different the Titanic, there are cases:
1. She's will be Oceanic 3-sister ship
2. She's will be modern ship today
3. She can be smaller ship like MV Britannic 3 and MV Georgic 2
4. If they want to built a replica of Titanic, there she is
You should do mega yachts vs cruise liners next!!
Anyone else notice that all, if not most, of these ship’s names end with ‘ic’? You’ve got Titanic, Cedric, Atlantic, Oceanic, Ceramic, etc.
It's the same with the old Cunard liners with the names all ending in 'ia'. For example Lusitania, Mauritania and Aquitania.
Imagine seeing them today? Amazing
Ship styles from this video I like: RMS Laurentic, RMS Oceanic, MV Georgic, RMS Homeric, RMS Majestic and RMMV Oceanic.
I love how we’re getting emotional over some big pieces of metal and wood.
People in today:*see a ship with a funnel* is that a titanic?
People in 1870-1940:no is OCEANIC MEDIC IONIC ATHENIC ATLANTIC MAJESTIC OLYMPIC
Did I miss something, or was MV Britannic not included in this one?
RMS Atlantic - struck rocks off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1873, and 560 people died. It was the worst maritime disaster in the world at the time
SS Laurentic - After being converted from a passenger liner to an armed merchant cruiser during WW1, the Laurentic struck German undersea mines and sank, killing 354 men.
SS Arabic - Was sunk in 1915 during WW1 by a German U-Boat, killing 40 passengers. This event occurred not long after the sinking of the Lusitania and reignited the public's anger toward the Germans
RMS Titanic - We all know what happened there
RMS Brittanic - Serving as a hospital ship in WW1, the Brittanic struck a naval mine near the Greek island of Kea. It sank 55 minutes later and 30 people died
Correction the Britannic was hit by a German Torpedoe. and luckily was headed in the direction it was. or many more lives would have been lost.
@@musicauthority7828 The German Navy CLAIMED it was a torpedo but in the 1990s it was confirmed that it was an undersea mine that had been layed by a German U-Boat.
@@musicauthority7828 It was a mine
Magnifique belle vidéo merci
0:24
❌RMS Atlantic
✔️SS Atlantic
Wow, great video! Thanks
You never hear of any of the 4-funnel gang having a normal and peaceful end of life. It’s always some crazy shit. (Except for Olympic I guess)
RMS Mauretania (1906) (scrapped in 1935)
The Mauritania was scrapped along with the Olympic
Great video!
2:37 All i see is SS Bismarck
Nice looking ships but Where is HMT Olympic?
Doesn’t need hmt Olympic since rms Olympic is in the video
