Documentary: 100 Years Of British Ships

Speaking of faking film and substituting shots from one ship to represent another , since when did film from this era contain any type of audio?

there is great footage here., shows now days spin the same shot over and over. great stuff

it's funny but now that people seek out simplicity i bet ships like that will come back, technology integrated into a vintage looking ship. So life seems more simple.

Such a wonderful doccie.... I really enjoyed it. So great to see those wonderful old ships, they dont make them like that anymore.

Aquitania, Mauretania, or Olympic should have been preserved. There are no surviving four-stack liners.

Fantastic video, thanks for posting..

My grandparents used to travel to Europe on many of these ships. They would return with toys and memorabilia for me and my sisters from the ship's gift shops. I wish I still had some of those things. My mother was one who never allowed the accumulation of clutter in our household. To bad. Thanks for upload.

What cool old ships from a bygone era...thanks

Very Nice.

Admiral Jellicoe's flagship at Jutland was HMS Iron Duke a battleship . HMS Lion was the flagship of Admiral Beatty.

First Rate production and video. thank you

I knew i recognized the narrator from the beginning. he is on railway documentarys too!

There are a number of ships, like Olympic and Mauretania, that I believe had more life in them when they were scrapped. The Aquitania, however, seemed to have every ounce of life squeezed out of her by 1950. While it was tragic that she couldn't be preserved, she had definitely done her duty and was an accomplished, well worn and tired ship when she went to the scrap yard. She had definitely fulfilled her purpose.
