The #WhiteStar #OceanLiner #SSAtlantic struck rocks off the coast of #NovaScotia on #ThisDayInHistory in 1873 and sank. 547 lives were lost, making it the worst White Star disaster until the Titanic loss in 1912. It remains one of the worst shipwrecks on the North Atlantic route.
Rms titanic as a anime girl This is my interpretation of if the titanic is a anime girl. Why because I can. I design the titanic funnels to move and extend and retract back to normal. #art #digitalart #characterdesign #oceanliner #titanic
Grave captaining errors caused the #OceanLiner #SSUtopia, an immigrant carrier built in 1874, to strike the ram of the warship #HMSAnson near #Gibraltar on #ThisDayInHistory in 1891. It sank within 20 minutes, killing 562 of 880 aboard, having failed to launch lifeboats in time.

The P&O Line #OceanLiner #SSMaloja struck a German submarine-laid mine off the Dover coast on #ThisDayInHistory in 1916. Canadian collier Empress of Fort William tried to rescue its passengers but it, too, struck a mine — both ships sank. Over 155 were lost, many to hypothermia.
#HMHSBritannic was launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1914. Meant to serve as #RMSBritannic on the North Atlantic #OceanLiner service, and built as a larger, safer sister ship to #RMSTitanic & #RMSOlympic, she worked instead as a hospital ship until sunk by a mine in the Aegean.
The gorgeous #RMSAquitania sadly arrived in Scotland for scrapping on #ThisDayInHistory in 1950. With one of the longest careers of any #OceanLiner, #Aquitania served in both World Wars as a troopship, and was the last surviving four-funnelled liner when she was retired in 1949.
Built with turbines instead of her sister #RMSCaronia's expansion engines, #RMSCarmania was launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1905. Carmania served as an armed merchant cruiser in #WWI, and sank another converted #OceanLiner, the German #CapTrafalgar, in 1914's #BattleOfTrindade.
THIS DAY IN HISTORY, February 9, 1942: 🚢 The S.S. Normandie, burns and capsizes in New York Harbor during its conversion to a WW II troop transport ship. Built in 1935, the vessel had been the pride of the French ocean liner fleet.

The very first #Cunard #OceanLiner, #RMSBritannia, was launched in Scotland on #ThisDayInHistory in 1840. A far more conservative design than #Brunel's steamships, she was wooden-hulled and paddle-driven with room for 115 passengers, and crossed the Atlantic in 12 days, 10 hours.
A #BlueRiband winner in 1876, the #WhiteStarLine #OceanLiner #SSBritannic was launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1874. Her single-screw propulsion was augmented with auxiliary sails in a four-masted barque configuration and her career on the #NorthAtlantic was nearly 30 years long.

The #OceanLiner #RMSLucania was launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1893. Identical to her running-mate #RMSCampania, the #Cunard liner shared a distinction of being the largest afloat, and took the #BlueRibard speed record from her sister on her second voyage, holding it 'til 1898.
The visionary #IsambardKingdomBrunel pioneered North Atlantic #OceanLiner #steamships with three (unprofitable) one-off designs. The largest of these by far was #SSGreatEastern, launched #ThisDayInHistory in 1858. Her length was exceeded only in 1899 and her tonnage only in 1901.

The small #OceanLiner #RMSRepublic, built in 1903 for #DominionLine but sold to #WhiteStarLine after just two voyages, made news on #ThisDayInHistory in 1909 with the first wireless #CQD distress signal. It had collided with #SSFlorida off Massachusetts and sank the next day.
The tiny #OceanLiner #SSValencia from 1882 was wrecked on #ThisDayInHistory in 1906, with more than 130 lives lost. She was sailing blind and grounded on a reef at #VancouverIsland. Mistakes wasted most lifeboats, and just 23 crew members and 12 male passengers made it to land.

One day, during the morning, Queen Mary remembered Berengaria's first piece of advice, which was to not trust firefighters. This was prophetic as Queen Mary's friend, Normandy, was destroyed by firefighters as they put out a fire on her superstructure.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1972, the #OceanLiner #RMSQueenElizabeth, nearing the end of her conversion into CY Tung's #SeawiseUniversity, was destroyed by arson in #HongKong's #VictoriaHarbour -- a sad end to #RMSQueenMary's running mate and the largest of the prewar ocean liners.
It's a lonely life for the sole remaining #OceanLiner in operation, but we enthusiasts are happy she exists. On #ThisDayInHistory in 2004, #RMSQueenMary2 was christened by #QueenElizabethII. #QM2 is the largest #liner ever built and the only one still on the North Atlantic route.
Ahoy! Wonderful Christmas interview on Chris Frame’s terrific maritime history show with “Mr. Ocean Liner” himself, Bill Miller.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 2008, the former #Cunard #OceanLiner #QueenElizabeth2 (#QE2) docked at her new permanent home in #Dubai, #UAE. Launched in 1967 as one of the last liners, she operated as a cruise ship half the year and on the North Atlantic for the other half until 2008.
Today marks the 109th anniversary of the sinking of HMHS Britannic on 21 November 1916.
