Harry Manning was a first rate skipper. Practically a naval officer in charge of an ocean liner. In his day, captains didn't jump ship after a collision (ex. Concordia)....they also didn't show off around shallow shoals to impress passengers. In those days, ocean liner captains were men of rigid discipline and supremely competent seamen. And as for the SS United States, it's difficult to top her record because of her immense power....nearly 250,000 shp. An aircraft carrier's propulsion system is basically what she had. The floating hotels of today are no longer built for speed, and are teetering on the maximum limits of stability at sea. Ships of the old days were better!
About 30 years ago, my wife and I had part of our honeymoon aboard SS Norway (originally SS France). We had dropped anchor near NCL's private island. Water was choppy, and nearby you could see a number of hotel barges AKA floating hotels with propellers, bouncing around and rocking from side to side. Our captain got on the PA and announced that we would be boarding the shuttles (former naval landing craft stored on the bow of Norway) to go ashore - but that the other ships were rolling too much for their passengers to go ashore to the nearby islands. The Big U, France / Norway, and the Queens were well designed North Atlantic crossing capable liners, while the barges we saw bounding near us couldn't handle rough water.
@@rontroy3843 SS France/SS Norway is my favourite ocean liner/cruise ship ever! Beautiful French design! Also The Big U and the Queens are also indeed beautiful ocean liners ever built and designed!
By the way. These vessels on the SS Norway stored on her bow are not former naval landing crafts, but tender vessels that have the design inspired by WW2 naval landing crafts. These tenders are called Little Norway I and Little Norway II, and they where built in Langevågen, Norway, in 1979/80 when SS France was converted to SS Norway in these years in Bremerhaven, Germany.
These tenders where so big that they where registered as ships! And got their own call sign and home port (same home port as their mothership SS Norway: Oslo, later Nassau). SS Norway is the only ship in the world that could carry registered ships, in this case her tenders. Today these tenders are still in operation on NCL's private island, the only big remindings left from the legendary SS Norway!
@@NorwegianCobain I'm assuming you are right, though the tender crews told us they were former naval landing craft. Regardless, they were big, useful, and the gear built onto the fore deck for them was amazing. And if you looked around enough, you found plenty of reminders of SS France, including one of the dining rooms, the indoor pool, and more. And in the early days, it's my impression that they took good care of Norway, fixing early problems (such as not enough generator capacity), and maintaining her well. Even in mid 1992 the new cabins were decent - except for vibration. But I heard rumors in the final years about insufficient boiler maintenance. I'm no steam expert, but I know what happens if poorly handled whether on ships or locomotives.
The Big U could probably hit 40 knots - same turbines as on fast carriers, but higher steam PSI. Some of todays hotel barges can't make 20 knots - U could do that in reverse or with one engine room flooded. She was great going through bad weather, as well. If I recall properly, they borrowed design concepts on hull design from Normandie.
2:16 the horn yasss
she was very fast for a ship that size. her speed rivaled some of our cars (like the old peel p50). she rivaled smaller boats with faster engines. she could do what few could imagine. now imagine her being restored, and breaking her previous record.
I think United States is male. :)
@@greenturtlgaming2554 everyone has their own opinion ships have no gender anyway its just common to use ”she”
My favorite ship ss united states 🇺🇸my 1952 liner....salute
2:24 The Whistle of a Ferry
35.59 knots or just under 41 miles per hour
2:24 what is the name of this ferry?
MV Lady rose I searched up 1950s Ferry’s and that looked very similar
3:03 The SS United States Whistle Seconds
I don’t think that’s a whistle sound. I think it’s a plane engine sound
Not Engine It's Whistle
This is *SS United States*
3:03 Another Horn??
No its real whistle
@@kamekochanlegacy5201 its called horn just look at the funnel very closely
I don’t think that’s a horn sound. I think it’s a plane sound passing her.
@@mtsproduction29 maaaaybeeee
That does not sound like a United States horn I’m sorry.
2:45horn
Thank god for British radar, or she would have never made it across.

SS United States Or RMS United States
SS united states
Yes
@@kamekochanlegacy5201 Definitely not Royal Mail Ship... Not for a ship built as much for the US Navy as for the United States Lines.
@bloop-mn3oiIt’s not a RMS.
