Conte di Savoia and Rex 🇮🇹
Largest, fastest, greatest of all times - Queen Mary, Normandie and Rex
History has a tendency of repeating itself. After the generation of careful and hardworking liners there always comes self-confident and cheeky one. Though 1930s' "megaliners" were much more responsible and prudent than 1900s' "superliners" Normandie was born knowing she's the best. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? But unlike Titanic, Normandie had a successful career (until another World War started)
When Queen Mary came to this world, things were going on in new-formed Cunard-White Star line. Mauretania and Olympic were busy with reorganisation of the fleet; Aquitania, Homeric and Majestic were doing rearrangements in the (former) Cunard residence (or maybe Majestic couldn't accept cancellation of Oceanic). So Berengaria took Mary under her wing
Italian ocean liners appeared out of nowhere. Britain and Germany competed for Blue Riband for decades, and suddenly Italy steals it
Story of 1930s liners is still in progress, there might be changes. Stay tuned for updates
Some of the Ladies of the Italian Line.
Aaaaaaand bonus other Italians
(Leo and Raf use she/her, Galileo uses they/them)
I am having to much fun playing around with incorrect quote generator with ocean liners

BEST SHIP NAME - ROUND 1
This poll is purely about the name itself, not the ship/ships associated.
Huáscar vs Rex
Huáscar
Rex
Propaganda:
Huáscar - Named after the Inca emperor Huáscar. To me it sounds regal.
Rex - 🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖 (Roman word for King also)
I left this comment on an Alex the Historian video, but I want to leave it here too.
I live in Pennsylvania. If I ever do get the funds to travel and see the Queen Mary, it may be the only opportunity I ever get to do so.
I know that there are more... "pressing" repairs that need to be done, but I desperately want to see some of the historic rooms that were ripped out in the 70s to be restored to how they looked during her career. Mike Brady just covered a few of these rooms in his video covering the plans of the Queen Mary. I know that a lot of the interior decor would basically need to be recreated from scratch, but still. For example, the Synagogue is such an important and historic room. I'd love to see it restored. It was installed as a show of good faith from Cunard to show their Jewish passengers (especially the ones fleeing from nazi germany) that they would not stand for the rampant antisemitism they faced at home. For anyone who isn't the owner of a ghost hunting youtube channel, the main draw of the Queen Mary is her historic value. I don't want to see a bunch of new restaurants and shops and event spaces. I want the Queen Mary to reflect how she was during her career as closely as possible. The idea of trying to "modernize" the Queen Mary in any aspect seems... almost foolish and counterintuitive to me, aside from obvious things like modern air conditioning and sanitation and things like that. I know some of these post-long beach additions are popular and well loved, but if I'm booking a stay aboard the historic RMS Queen Mary, I dont want to eat in a modern restaurant that was stapled on to the ship in the last couple of decades. I'd want to be served in the first class dining room. I'd want to experience what the passengers experienced.
There aren't many liners left, but I think the Queen Mary is one of the best liners to have been preserved. She was designed in the late 1920's, built in the early 1930's, and despite her extreme modernity, she also features many things that more closely resemble the liners of the 1910s and 1920s than her then modern contemporaries. Like, she visually resembles the Aquitania from 1914 and Lusitania from 1906 much more closely than she resembles, say, the SS Rex or SS Normandie. The SS Rex, despite being nearly 5 years older, looks more like the SS United States of 1952 than any of the ships she succeeded. The Queen Mary is a beautiful collage of liner design spanning from the 1910s to the 1960s. So being on the Queen Mary can give you a great idea of what liners were like across many decades, which makes her invaluable as an educational tool, more so than any other liner that could have been preserved instead. If the Bremen, or the Rex, or even the Olympic had been preserved instead of the Queen Mary, it would have given a lot more narrow of a view of liner history. In the late 60's and early 70s, a lot of these spaces and decoration styles were seen more as outdated rather than historic, so the idea of preserving them didn’t seem extremely important. But now? If it were up to me, my primary objective would be to restore the Queen Mary to be as close as she was during her career as practical/possible. As a huge ocean liner enthusiast, I'd move to long beach in a hearbeat if it meant I could spend my life helping to preserve her, and with the loss of the SS United States, I think preserving and restoring the Queen is more important than ever.
Fighting for my life to actually start drawing something so. Naked boats. "Naked" as in "I took off the top layer of their outfits". 1st image: Mauretania, Lusitania, Titanic. Mauretania is such a fashion disaster god bless
2nd image, obligatory italians. (Top to bottom) Rafaello, Rex, Andrea Doria. Rex is genuinely so fun to draw i love drawing characters that are pissed off for no particular reason
3rd image, America, Leviathan and Ile de France. Genuinely no idea how I managed to get the lines on the Ile to be so clean because those are still just sketches/doodles
trying to love my sketches/doodles and attempting to convince myself that not everything needs to be lined
