I swear: too many people keep getting this wrong. The remains of the third Oceanic, when her keel was scrapped, were not used to build the Britannic and the Georgic. The former had already been under construction before the Oceanic since 4/14/1927. She would be launched less than a month after Oceanic's cancellation, and was less than a year away from completion. Likewise, the Georgic was already laid down 11/30/1929 and launched the following year. All three of them were intended to work together, albeit with Oceanic on the express service from Southampton while Britannic and Georgic would be on the secondary service from Liverpool. If Oceanic were to get a sister as she most likely would have if White Star avoided the merger with Cunard, I would wager good money on her name being Olympic, since not only was the former flagship arguably the most famous ship in the fleet up to that point (sans-Titanic disaster), but that was also the intended name for a cancelled sister ship to the second Oceanic of 1899. Nonetheless, this was still an enjoyable watch, and probably the best AU scenario I've seen of the Oceanic anywhere on the Internet. I've been really liking your videos so far. Keep it up.
Oceanic III will always remind me of an upgraded Olympic version. You can really see how the Olympic-Class influenced the Oceanic design. Too bad that she wasn't built. Maybe she could have saved the downfall of White Star Line.
Indeed. Unfortunately, I don't think she alone would have been enough to save White Star from the merger with Cunard. I wrote about this over on Reddit some time ago, but basically, the conditions of the merger were based on which fleet brought the most amount of tonnage. White Star had lost two of their largest ships in the Titanic and the Britannic, and had also sold off a lot of their former fleet, including two of the last Big Four ships, the Cedric and the Baltic. Cunard ended up having far more ships, and thus tonnage, than White Star did as happened in real life (15-10). If you were to throw the Oceanic in there, then while her gross-registered tonnage would provide a significant boost in White Star's total fleet tonnage, it still wouldn't be enough to match Cunard's; plus, they'd still have less ships (15-11). The best possible chance I see White Star either gaining a greater share in the merger or avoiding it altogether is if, in addition to Oceanic, the Titanic and Britannic never sank, while the Cedric and the Baltic were never scrapped. While White Star would still have slightly less ships than Cunard (15-14), the combined total tonnage would skyrocket from what it was in real life and well surpass Cunard's total tonnage, since White Star did have larger ships overall. No matter the case, I ultimately don't see White Star escaping fate come the Jet Age. I'm inclined to believe that they, like the overwhelming majority of other shipping lines, would have gone out of business at that point. Maybe then Cunard would have been able to buy what was left of them; that or the line would just disappear by itself. Either way, the Jet Age marked the end for virtually all of the transatlantic shipping lines, and I don't think White Star would have fared any differently. It only further goes to show how insanely lucky Cunard got, and have still gotten since they're still around today.
No body know, she even never built, she might be a museum to replace Queen Mary because if Oceanic have fully built, Queen Mary will not exist because just one of them in Cunard White Star to be SS Normandie's rival

Well thank God we have you.

Yea, Unfortunately she was never finished. Only her keel was laid.

finally someone who uses the curved superstructure version ! it looks so much beter
The best alternative ever
Looks nicer than the Queen Mary
IMO QM is best. Oceanic IIi is a close second tho.
I wouldn't go that far lol
But she is beautiful.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Com on in the long run I will finish oceanic 3 she is my dreem
This is beautiful
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢 i hoop de oceanic was built
Wait, I think RMS Georgic (or many people say that should Colossic) just only 2 funnels like Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth
8:29 I think it would be scrapped a bit after the Georgic
can you do: what if olympic wasnt scrapped in 1935
I’ll think on it.
Is this a game and if it is then what is the name of the game
Vehicle Simulator
It wouldn't change much for the white star line
Did she get scrapped or turned into a museum or restaurant or hotel?
No body know, she even never built, she might be a museum to replace Queen Mary because if Oceanic have fully built, Queen Mary will not exist because just one of them in Cunard White Star to be SS Normandie's rival
She was planned but she wasn't built
@@Gordon-oy4dobro this a what if
80.00000
Dood you are so cool
