Saving A Massive Historic Ship - The Aurora Restoration Project

My name is Christopher Willson, I found the Aurora nearly abandoned on the California Delta in 2008. After some investigation I found that she is one of the most historic liners still in existence today. Understanding the significance of her rich history I decided to go all in. Since I have given my best effort to save and preserve this ship for future generations. This is a look back at a few of the projects we've done over the past years. Enjoy.

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Nice that you save the little old lady 😊👍🏻🌹
Did you know that she „acted“ in a James Bond movie in the sixties? She was the yacht of the bad guy.

That is what one would call a real cruise ship, that offered smaller passenger quantity and vastly better-personalized service.

Hey guys, greetings from Germany! Thanks for preserving this historic ship!

Pretty awesome watching you bring this old girl back.

[davidbarnsley]

Well I am astounded by your level of commitment to fixing that old boat
You are fantastic and I wish you all the best with the rest of the restoration
Looking forward to future episodes 👍👍👍👍

I've always seen that boat on the Delta and wondered what the story was behind it, and just happened to stumble across this video by complete coincidence. Good luck on the restoration

What a gorgeous ship. Really nice lines. I’m glad someone is saving her.

this is the best restoration project ive ever seen on youtube

I only discoverd your channel from a post from Ship Happens, here in UK. I can't beleive you have a tiny 1.5k subscribers. This channel deserves to grow with regular videos. I'll be watching from here on in, for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad I stuck with this to the second video. The teaser made it look like Wish Orange County Choppers. This video felt more honest, more heartfelt. You can really hear the pride come through.

History is so important. I have never wanted a typical cruise, this I would dream of. Thank you for your passion.

Thank you. Thank you.
Love & light to you ALL! 🙏💙🙏

It’s looking so beautiful already, can’t wait to go see the museum when it’s ready.

[conorsheehan]

What great project. A bunch of people happily working to make something old and tired young and beautiful again . Full marks to everyone !

[ditzydoo]

Bravo, good on you and your team sir. Small liners like the Aurora are so underappreciated in today's world of mega Linners which are not cruise ships more than floating hotels.

[patrickloring]

Please keep going! That girl needs some love. Thank you!

[wandahoward]

When this ship has been fully restored it will look beautiful. Thank fully there are people out there who have enough vision to see what can be again and perhaps even better than original.
