RMS Aquitania (1:64)

- Опубликовано: 28 окт 2018
- Taken at the 'War & Trade' exhibition abroad the HQS Wellington moored on the River Thames. A very detailed model presented to the Wellington by Cunard in 1952.
The Wellington is not generally open to the public, only on set days & special events but there are a number of other models too. Also a set of chairs & card table survive from RMS Aquitania's 1st Class Palladian Lounge.
Scale unknown but I guess 1:64?
considering the fact that the Aquitania is my favorite ship, and its hard to find videos of models or models of it online, this is absolutly beautiful
Likewise it is my favourite Edwardian ocean liner. I made a specific trip London to see this model on an open day in October 2018 , it is not normally on public display. See also my video of the 1:350 scale model of Aquitania from my personal collection.

RMS Aquitania fan 55 ッ Same my favorite is Aquitania
Aquitania was truly a beauty, and I’ll be using this video as some of my main reference when I build her in roblox studio
Mines the Ss france and the normandie
Probably one of my favorite early 20th century ocean liners. Seeing as she was designed in response to the Olympic class, with more luxury than speed in mind, her design really holds up with me personally. She doesn't look thin and lanky like Mauritania, and her decks aren't abundant with all those fat ventilators like Lusitania. Shes large, elegent, and seemingly reliable, seeing that she was the last four stacker to be scraped. I used to be a Titanic fanboy, and it's ashamed that I overlooked this beauty because of my quite petty hate for Cunard. I have a larger respect for her as a ship now though, and she'll always be one of my favorites.
Aquitania is my favourite period ocean liner. Her long career stands out as one the triumphs of transatlantic shipping. Externally she has a perfect balance, I particularly like the 2nd class superstructure & enclosed promenade deck amid ships. Internally her decor is elegant without being gaudy. I happen to like her older sister ships as well, especially Lusitania's light & airy interior decor.
The ventilator shafts on these Cunard ships don't bother me. The WSL Olympic class has amazing first class interiors, the Britannic pulled off the best external profile. Her two earlier class sisters never quite looked right at the stern, as though they didn't know how to finish the ship but Britannic's enclosed rear well deck & extra external stern superstructure makes her look complete in my eyes.
I always thought that the White Star ships, especially the Olympic Class, were superbly balanced in terms of aesthetic exterior design. That said, I think the Mauretania and Lusitania look sleek and fast, which of course was their intended purpose. It's funny tho, for ventilators I prefer Mauretania as they're all in a line on one level, whereas on Aquitania they're kind of all over the place.
@@RomulanCommander yea, i hate tho 2 large vents on the bow ngl
No shame in being a Titanic fanboy, she was certainly a beauty, though then again so was Aquitania. Even considering large passenger vessels were generally prettier in those days (just look at the monstrosities that are today's cruise ships), there's something about the Olympic class and Aquitania's shape and proportions that make them both very beautiful indeed. Neither are anywhere near as big as a lot of later vessels and certainly not as huge as today's cruiseliners, but more majestic all the same... It's like the hopeless (and to some extent probably misguided) nostalgics like myself always like to say: they don't make them like they used to...
The major criticism of the Aquitania at the time was that she looked boxy, something that was made worse by the unusual choice not to have a raised forecastle. Because of that, from certain angles the superstructure looked too big for the hull. There are some good videos here on RUclips where you can really see how ungainly she looked.
An absolutely stunning model of one of my favourite ocean liners. I like to think of the aquitania as a sort of “modernised” version of Lusitania and Mauretania
This is the most detailed and accurate model of this great ship that I've ever seen. I like that it shows the post WW1 updates to her forward superstructure, including he additional bridge first added in 1916. She led an exceptionally long life, and managed to serve in and survive both World Wars, which makes her the greatest of all in my book.
If I’m not mistaken, it appears to be the builder’s model of the ship, built by the same company that made the ship around the same time the ship was being built (this was a standard practice back then)
I love the pilot house added on her superstructure. Looks way better than before.
Aquitania has such a stunning history, spanning two world wars and serving Cunard from 1914 to 1950. Yet due to the tragedy that befell two of the White Star Line's Olympic class. Then of course the Cunards Lusitania's famous sinking, she has never been celebrated for the glory she deserves. Beautiful build of "The Ship Beautiful"
That model is so beautiful
Level of detail is incredible.
My Great Uncle was Bursar on RMS Aquitania. The ships bell is on display in Dubai at the QE2 Hotel and exhibition centre.
Absolutely stunning ship one of the only main liners to continue service throughout both world wars such a shame she fell into to such huge disrepair towards the end of her life
This is my favourite ocean liner
Never understood why model companies have not released a model of her! There's models of most of the other famous liners...why not the "Ship Beautiful"?!
About five years ago a small UK company was developing a 1/350 balsa wood model from a laser cut 3D model. It came along quite far but the tiny company didn’t survive long enough to see it through & a partial semi-kits was offered to me to for £500 which I felt was too much money.
To think, this model was probably made by one person from one to several years by hand with mostly custom parts.
possibly my favorite ocean liner from the time, aquitania was such a beautiful ship. this model is truly stunning, it reminds me of roosevelt's mauretania model
That is one beautiful model!
I would love a model like this, it's not far off 00 gauge and probably wouldn't look amiss in a large diorama
Beautiful ship!
Very cool!
Her first bridge design was the best ngl.
Agreed.
Ships looked way better than how they look today
"Goodbye Titanic, Hello Aquitania!"
Hi, although I prefer the Rms Britannic as she would have been, I find the Aquitania a very pretty sleek ship. I prefer the britannic and the White Star for many reasons, but I’am sure that if Britannic didn’t sink they would have been great rivals
Britannic is my favourite of the Olympic trio. I like the modifications made to her 1st class interiors & the enclosed rear well deck plus the gantry davit lifeboat set up. I have a 1:250 of Aquitania & Britannic on display side by side, I do think they would have been interesting competitors & of course eventually sisters in a merged shipping line Cunard-WSL 1934.
I always found it curious that Britannic managed to enclose almost 2000 extra GRT despite being slightly shorter and narrower.
Magnificent model but you would expect no less from Cunard
Wow, just wow.
I like the fact she has her 1st and 2nd bridge.
Indeed her original bridge with the this window configuration is my favourite.
Amazing! Would love to buy a model like this. I think I'll be making a video on the Aquitania.
I look forward to that, Aquitania is my favourite liner. Seeing this model in person was a real treat.
I would use this scale model for a mini movie on RUclips
Were have to do 64/64 model now
Such a shame she was scrapped
Agreed, but in 1950 she was just an old ship & not yet a classic liner who had already been given a stay of execution in 1940 to serve in another World War. Ironically the later 1950’s saw a new interest in the Edwardian period. If only she had been laid up somewhere awaiting the day when people cared enough to restore her.
Beautiful model of a beautiful ship. 1/64 seems like an odd scale? Builders models are almost always 1/48th scale and most theres are smaller 1/96th
Why does this ship van so many air ducts on it
Because she didn't have a dummy funnel to act as a massive ventilator
She didn't have electric ventilators to move enormous amounts of air. The Olympic-class was one of the first to do that with the Sirocco electric ventilators. Moved a lot more air with vastly fewer ventilators than the Cunarders did with passive ventilation.
Beautiful model, too bad it capsized at the end.
I took screenshots so I can build a model of the great ship!
I wish they were on sale for 10 million
I love it
what are those big red circle things that look like tubas on the deck
Air vents.
WOW
Ship beautiful
Le agreed too!
Have you heard of grammar?
@@patchthevelociraptor4764 That's what she was called: The Ship Beautiful, while Olympic was called The Ship Magnificent. Look it up.
@@transatlanticnostalgia4655 Olympic also developed the name old reliable she kept going after her collision with the Hawke when she rammed and sank a enemy sub and and she hit and sank the Nantucket lightship 😂
Just arrived with a McDonald's Happy Meal
Why there's too much of speakers on the deck?
You what?
@@rarevhsuploads4995 what do you call that speaker like shape or amplifier over the deck?
Those are called "Cowl ventilators" @@safwanelias1698.
What are those holes on the deck?
Ventilators wich lead down to rooms and mainly engine areas
Ahh that’s interesting thanks I thought that was the horn lol
I later then realized that the horn was on the funnels
Where can i get one
Is this on the Queen Mary?
It’s all explained in the description.
Its my house!!!
Its like the QM's older sister, they look more like sister ships than the SS france and norway look like the same ship
Queen Mary was essentially an updated Aquitania for the 1930’s. It’s no coincidence that the linear design process can be traced from one to another. The QM was a very traditional ship design whilst the later Queen Elizabeth (1940) was a more modern ship in terms of design aesthetic & interior furnishings.
It’s hard foe me to believe that the Aquitania was larger than the Lusitania and the Mauritania
Believe it because she was almost 50% bigger. Longer, wider & taller & placed side by side its like putting a Boeing 747 next to a Concorde. Aquitania was Cunard’s answer to the Olympic class & she really has more in common with those ships in terms of speed & amenities.
@@rarevhsuploads4995 ok
Where can you find this model.
@@IvanCastillo-pk4gc it’s in the description.

1:64 whre
how is this 1:64?
I’ve seen 1/48 ship builders models & they are as large as this for ships of smaller GRT, so my guess is 1/64 but no scale is given on the display.
Discount Titanic.
icekideam cakea
why the funnel is so small?
So she could fit under bridges
:O
The Cunard ships were all outdated by time they were launched. Looked old fashioned with the ventilation shafts being round and ugly, compared to White Star ships which were modern, flattened, sleek and fewer in number.
I find the WSL ships which were all built by H&W boxy in design. Cunard ships by contrast were sleek greyhounds. Aquitania is ironically the one which most resembles the Olympic class boxy design.
Well, they did pioneer the use of steam turbines in merchant ships, which put them rather ahead of their time in that respect. White Star stuck with triple expansion engines or some combination until 10 years later, with the SS Vedic. If I am not mistaken all those cowls meant that the Cunard ships were better ventilated too, except possibly Lusitania with those weird barrel-vents. Ventilation seems to have been a particular concern of Leonard Peskitt's. I like the look of the Cunard ships for different reasons than White Star; to me they (especially Lusitania and Mauretania) look fast and sleek, whereas White Star tended to have a more balanced look -- the Olympic class especially.
joseph hardwicke normandie?
@@Ghrisjeneloeisu and the bremen/europa.
Outdated but outlasted the Olympic class 🤣
Call me boring but i really think titanic was the most beautiful
I prefer Britannic as intended for civilian service. The Olympic class liners are still a beautiful class of ships.

Extremely horrible looking ship!
