Ocean Liner Sizes COMPARED

Показать описание

SUBSCRIBE for more great Ocean Liner content :)
Ocean Liners have come in all different shapes and sizes. In this video I have combined a few of my ship drawings in order to show how big, and small, some of history's great liners have been. Ships in order are:
MS Aurelia, MS Batory, RMS Canton, RHMS Ellinis, TSS Strathaird, SS Kronprinzessin Cecilie, SS America, RMS Lusitania, RMS Titanic and RMS Queen Mary.
The best method for determining the size of a ship is the Gross Tonnage (Formerly Gross Registered Tonnage, GRT) which is a measure of the ship's internal volume. This video, however, focuses only on vessel length as a visual indicator of size.

I have a nut and bolt from the Queen Mary, removed whilst being repaired. A workman threw it up on deck and it hit my foot (was a toddler). The workman was very apologetic and offered us free drinks at the bar, we declined but asked if we could keep the nut and bolt. The workman was so relieved he also signed a piece of paper stating it was an original piece of the Queen Mary. The paper has long since faded but I still have the bolt (didn’t realise the Queen Mary was bigger than the titanic tbh).

The fact that you literally used your own regular car as the scale reference is nothing short of absolutely mint.

Queen Mary, Titanic, Lusitania and SS America are the best-looking. Nice to see a true size comparison of Lusitania/Mauretania and the Olympic class, rather than the exaggerated silhouette comparison that floats around the Internet.

Really interesting video! Growing up with the Queen Mary not too far from me, I never really understood how it compared to the Titanic.

Titanic was smaller but at the same time bigger than I expected…😳

Nice that you mentioned MS Batory here! I mean, atleast someone besides me knows the 'Lucky ship' besides the WW2 stories.

wow I new Queen Mary is bigger than Titanic but Titanic isn't so much smaller thx a lot for the demonstration.

This channel has soon become one of my favorites, everything from the illustrations to the commentary are top notch. Keep up the fantastic work!

The ignorant scriptwriters ALWAYS refer to sizes in the shape of "Football Pitches", "Eiffel Towers", "Statue of Liberty", 'Double Decker Buses" etc. but what happened to an artists impression of these liners superimposed in recognizable areas or places, like Trafalgar Square, Times Square, etc, etc?
THAT way you can just get an idea of the sheer sizes.

Wouldn't it be a dream to see them all side-by-side in person?

The Queen Mary is unquestionably one of the greatest liners of all mankind

I definitely did not understand the true scale of the Titanic until I saw this

I somehow missed this when it came out. I really do enjoy your beautiful illustrations. They go beyond technical excellence (which they obviously have no shortage of) to convey emotion; perhaps a sense of history and your genuine love of these ships... Whatever it is, please keep doing it.
My head is still swimming from the one at the end with all of them. Amazing.
I was reminded what a fine-looking ship M/S Batory was. The 1930s were a very high point in passenger ship design. Which brings me to a suggestion I have for future consideration:
TSS Awatea, the exquisite Trans-Tasman express liner. Such a breathtaking ship, and fast as well. It's tragic that her career was so short. I'd love to see her illustrated by you.
Thanks again for the work you do.

Now that's the way to get your point across! Beautiful images of the liners and it's great to see them together and get a sense of scale as well as design. Some liners are or were bigger than others but there is no such thing as a small ocean liner!

I've always been curious about the actual 'feel' of interior space in the Olympic and Titanic. The second class section looked so small, the passengers must've been so board.
Also, having sailed on modern cruise ships, the Queen Mary still FEELS larger even though she is not.
