What would the Britannic look like if she never entered war service? Today we step into an alternate history and see what could have been.
Famously, Britannic would have had a pipe organ installed in her Grand Staircase between A and Boat Decks. In 2007 it was discovered that this organ still exists. It is now in a museum and is played from time to time. The first 2 songs in the video are performed on this organ! Britannic would also have a Children's Playroom up on Boat Deck, opposite side of the Gym. Somehow, this ended up being a set in the movie 'A Night To Remember' even though Titanic never had a Children's Playroom. White Star would also add more cabins on A-Deck just aft of the Grand Staircase. On Titanic this would have just been promenade deck space. I wonder how those travelers would have appreciated an organ right outside their doors. I know Queen Mary has struggled with sound insulation and this was 20 years before her. The B-Deck boarding entrance has changed, using new larger windows on the doors leading into the Grand Staircase, and extending the promenade to the front of the superstructure. We also have a brand new 1st Class Mail Room on this deck, relieving the Purser's Desk from that duty. Heading down the stairs we see that furniture has started being removed from the cabins in preparation for her conversion into a hospital ship. After a peek at the Purser's Desk, we see our first Stateroom, the Gregorian Parlor Suite. A bedroom with attached sitting room. Heading back upstairs, we see the Regal Suite with attached private verandah. Then we see the 1st Class Pool, a grand step up from what Titanic and Olympic had. And finally, we end with a look at the Boiler Room and the new double hull.

I love how you inserted the music from the REAL Britannic Organ!

Britannic’s interior was more luxurious than her sisters Olympic & Titanic, but unfortunately she converted into a hospital ship

@JakvsMetalheads999 Год назад

The swimming pool on the Britannic was definitely a huge improvement over the one on Olympic and Titanic. Shame this ship never saw passenger service

@visionist7 11 месяцев назад

They were competing with the prewar German liners with their double height swimming pools with marble benches (and steam pipes passing through them to keep them warm). All that marble made the German ships prone to rolling heavily however.

The Britannic Organ was rediscovered in tact in 2007. It was designed to be operated both manually with pedal and keyboard, and automatically with paper rolls.

Nice!

@BimDaTitanicNerd Месяц назад

The swimming pool definitely looks a lot better in Britannic than Olympic and Titanic. Something I never really understood is why they didn't try to cover up the exposed metal walls and pipes in Olympic and Titanic with wall panels to make it look fancy.

@Drew791 Год назад

I’m glad the organ music got softer the lower the decks, because it was terrifyingly loud at some points and kind of destroyed the experience.

@mariemorgan7759 Год назад

Such beautiful animation! I like that they included a room for the children passengers to play in. Thanks for the uploads💕🚢

@CarlosGonzalez-hu3hr Месяц назад

Great vid! congrads to the maker. As a titanic nerd sine first reading about the wrecks discovery, I have to say that this reconstruction of britannic confirms my suspicions. The most successful space on the original sister ships, Titanic/olympic were its forward grand staircases. They were the architectural masterpieces of those two ships. They had everything, perfect. proportions, incredible design, every detail complemented the next. The irish oak paneling, the stunning glass domes, the beautiful carved clocks and upper landing murals, the bronze cherubs, the white marble floors. and most importantly the flow of the space. Sure the sister ships had detailed spaces like the Dinning salon and lounge but they were understated elegance, with the mens smoking room being the over the top exception. But that staircase must have been breath taking . Then I look at the britannics grand staircase and think, failure! That huge organ is basically a two story rectangular wall that overpowers the space, destroys the flow by cutting the space in half and worst of all if you look at 0:20 you see that what is that first landing goes from a space to stop and admire the beauty, to a congested, narrow passageway where you quickly have to move right or left to make way for the next person going up or down the stairs. And esthetically the organ does nothing but compete with the elegance of the carved clock wall in front of it & the other details of the space around it. Organ music could have been added to the space by hiding the instrument and not having the loud two story monster a few feet from your face when you reach the first landing.

Notice how you can't see the frames in the boiler room. They are covered by the inner hull plating.

@williamradford8817 11 месяцев назад

Awesome "What If" video. Britannic was to be a cruise liner and sail the Med? with Titanic's details and pipe organ

@shaunybraun3387 4 месяца назад

If she had become a passenger liner as originally intended, she would have done the transatlantic crossing like her sisters. But she went to the Mediterranean to pick up wounded soldiers since the admiralty needed her as a hospital ship during WW1.

@shaunybraun3387 4 месяца назад

Just a little fix up. The correct term is ocean liner, not cruise liner. Cruises take you on leisure voyages while ocean liners took you from one continent to the next on a set schedule before air travel existed. So you took an ocean liner cause you needed to.

@lora-2-alba-19 11 месяцев назад

Создается впечатление, что обстановка на " Британнике" более легкая и не такая гламурная по тем временам, как на " Титанике"!😊 Merci! Безусловно, что родство этих двух кораблей весьма ошутимо... C'est tres interessant

@th8257 2 месяца назад

The interiors seem lighter and more airy than Titanic. Perhaps taking a leaf out of Aquitania's and Imperator's book.

@jorgschwantje1239 Год назад

The organ is no improvement. The architecture with the bowed balcony on Titanic is much more pleasant and open. The green linoleum looks also not so timeless like the cream ones on Titanic. But watched alone without comparing definately a beautiful ship.

@andrewmedeiros9493 Год назад

I feel the same. As a stand alone, great. But the open concept seemed more like a palace

@visionist7 11 месяцев назад

Maybe they should have placed the organ at the aft staircase instead and kept the forward staircase like the Titanic.

The music is beyond irritating

I assume you mean "Georgian Style Parlor Suite"? There's no such thing as "Gregorian Style" in decoration or architecture.

So the creator don't really know what the first class smoking room would have looked like?

@deardiary8292 4 месяца назад

The creators are the highly renowned ‘Titanic Honor and Glory’ group and are exceptionally famous in the Titanic world. This is just a short fun game, walking experience to demonstrate Britannic. They just probably didn’t model the smoking room.

@robstamp9224 7 месяцев назад

That pipe organ would have been ripped out before the end of the first year of service. Nobody wants to hear church music while they're having cocktails before dinner.

@DavidHarrisonmusic 3 месяца назад

There is a lot of secular music written for organ, especially music for entertainment to accompany silent movies and theatre productions. At the time Britannic was built, a self-playing symphonic pipe organ would have been very much in vogue.

Yeah, you shouldn’t stereotype Organs as Religious Music

Ну, "Британник" - исключительно жертва войны. После "Титаника" внесли изменения, повышающие шансы для людей спастись при крушении (и они сработали отлично). Не будь на его пути заминированных немецкими минами вод, дослужил бы до полного морального устаревания, как "Олимпик", который вообще немецкую подлодку потопил, отделавшись царапинами (не стоило ли "Титанику" протаранить айсберг? Вопрос, на который мы никогда не узнаем ответ...)

@silwen9412 Месяц назад

Самонадеянность в первом случае и война во втором. "Олимпику" повезло больше.

@dannys942 Месяц назад

they ruined the grand stair-case, it looks cluttered, ugly, there is no "Coliseum" like vibe, because the organ takes all that space, its kind of lame that you need to go down and up the stairs to get from starboard to port-side and that AWFUL color GREEN!!!! but an Absolute Superiority above Tit and Oly, is the fact the Elevators go all the way up to "Boat-Deck"
