11:24 Titanic would replace the Teutonics's sister ship Majestic, but that replacement was short-lived as Titanic sank on her maiden transatlantic crossing.
Zuikaku struck a memory. Saturday morning, on a web cam, I watched Japanese carrier Kaga enter San Diego harbor. It was very foggy and there was something about watching a Japanese carrier, named after another carrier of WW2, sneak in, as if there was something sinister afoot. A Japanese carrier, entering an American port. WOW!! Mind blown!!
Such a good show. Always look forward to Sunday evenings with you.
She was beautiful and a War Vet👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 nice
Great video Elinor.
Great content, but I have never heard of the germanic. Maybe you can toss out a quick video about her one day.
👍👍
I find it interesting that ships often follow the same paths as human beings. They go from idea to blue print to construction to voyages to obsolescence to the grave yard. The only exceptions are the ships whose lives are interrupted by tragedy.
Thank you, Elinor! The Teutonic sails the seas of my imagination, looking for Naronic!
Not trying to be mean the flag you represented for Russia was the flag of the USSR and the imperial Russian flag of the Czar at that time. Again not trying to be mean, but Russia wasn’t the USSR u til their civil was over in 1921.
There museum in Washington DC that has Rms Masjestic grand stair case glass and SS United States furniture and other famous ocean liner Artie of facts and things
Victoria was his grandmother
I built a Lego liner called LRS Tubetonic. She’s third class only, and has twin funnels, twin single ended, single furnace, coal fired marine boilers, and twin steam turbine engines.
LRS stands for Lego Railway Ship, and Tubetonic is the younger sister to the much larger soon-to-be four funneled liner LRPS Bricktannic. Bricktannic notably has only three funnels currently, but there are plans to add a fourth, and the P in LRPS stands for Post, as Bricktannic, unlike Tubetonic, has an onboard mail and baggage room. Bricktannic is also notably first and second class only, and is much bigger than Tubetonic.
Just thought I’d let somebody know, in case anyone cares.
Great video as always, thanks for sharing that 😄
Nice one Elinor. 1st British AMC, 1st Twin Screw, repeated Blue Riband holder AND taking `Kaiser Bill`s` fancy – say no more, a worthy Shipwreck Sunday commemoration, but WHAT, no Dazzle? Talking of the Blue Riband, how about covering Branson`s failed attempt to win the coveted title (Virgin Atlantic Challenger? {from failing memory!})?
vary nice Elinor, see ya Friday my friend. 😎💚💙👍👍🍺🍺🍻
Very well done as usual Elinor. The Teautonic was a groundbreaking white star ship . Loved this ❤️
I've always found the Teutonic a wonderfully charming ship. By the standards of the 1910s and interwar period that thrive in the modern imagination she's seen as a little underwhelming, but her elegance still manages to shine through! Clean, subtle lines, the Iconic White Star livery, all make for a timelessly beautiful ship.
And as a side note: Her stern design and decorative metalwork always reminded me of a metal-hulled sailing ship with the way the lines run and the metalwork seeming to trace the outline of a Great Cabin.
Hey Elinor, love the channel and all your extensive research. Have you ever done a stream on the sailing schooner Fantome, lost in October 1998 during Hurricane Mitch? (If you have, sorry about the repetition.) If not, I think it would make an interesting one for Shipwreck Sunday. I sailed aboard her as a tourist a few years before its tragic loss with all of the crew. The schooner and its crew simply disappeared into the storm and were never seen again – except, as I recall, for a railing or two. Anyway, thanks again for the streams!
Teutonic was a major achievement in its day, marking the final transition from sail to steam. I'm curious about your music intro. It alternates between the Blue Danube and something unfamiliar to me, but which I suspect may be from the White Star Song Book. Can You elaborate?
Just pulled into puerto Vallarta and had to see what fate was bestowed to the liner. Excellent. Out dodging hurricanes. So far so good. Excited about the the carriers. Especially the “enemy” carriers that we know nothing about. Have a great week E.
Why use the Soviet flag when talking about 1880s Russia
She brought my wife's great grandparents to America in 1904. Therefore, a fabulous model of this charming ship is on prominent display in our house…which happens to have also been built in 1904! 😁
Stumbled on your channel just now shocked to see your subscriber count as your video quality is amazing…. Anyways new subscriber here 🎉
Should never have mentioned the chair! Get your freak on Eddy!!😂😂😂😂
Finishing up this video now but a suggestion if I may not much content out there about the Ms Louis incident but while it didn't sink surely the 939 passengers mostly Jewish refugees onboard faced heartache or worse as a result of the incident as they were forced to return to wartime Europe in 1939 surely a sad topic but definitely historical one….. Nonetheless look forward to watching more of your vids
Queen Victoria was indeed Kaiser Wilhelm the 2.s grandmother, and not as said great aunt.
Kieser Whilhelm was Queen Victorias grandson. His mother was Victorias eldest child Vicky.
Wow! Iceberg incident… Opposite weather conditions of the Titanic accident… Goes to show how fickle the seas can be! Great episode. Keep it up! I’m a commercially licensed pilot, and temperature inversions are no joke when it comes to optical illusions and other visual phenomena.
Queen Victoria was the Kaiser's grandmother , not his aunt !!
As far as I know, Victoria was Wilhelms grandmother.
It's probably stock footage but the Union Jack at 15:10 is flying upside down.
Teutonic scrapped in Germany in the end…Ironic!
I will never understand white star vessels having such tiny rudders, This design would make it very hard for any ship of the Teutonic class & higher to turn quicker.
Hey there! Just stumbled across your channel and I have to say I love your commentary! Just curious though, what sources do you use for your videos? I would recommend posting them when you make short documentaries like this so haters can’t say you’re wrong without proof and you can back yourself up! 🙂 Please keep up the good work! Looking forward to more!
Warmest regards.
