Cunard Line - Tumblr Posts
OH MY GOD. IM CRYING BUT OH MY GOD WE FINALLY KNOW HOW SHE SANK.
Cunard is a light in the darkness of the modern maritime world.
Looking at pictures of ocean liners and then looking at pictures of modern cruise ships is like looking at the comparisons of bad selective breeding in dogs over 100 years.
Beautiful. Elegant. Regal.
Vs
Evil. Overbred. Disfigured and dying young of inherited heart conditions.
This is that spongebob meme with the sales men.
I went on Cunard's website once to double-check something and now the internet will not stop bombarding me with cruise ship ads. Please, I do not have money, it's the middle of winter, I don't know what you want from me 😭
I’m making a mini documentary on the Franconia.
Probably gonna be posted on YouTube within the week.
It’s gonna be titled RMS Franconia : the Boston Runner
I’ll see ya then.
(this is also why I haven’t been as active)
I’m sorry but I’ve delayed the documentary due to me having a sore throat and it just being a pain to talk.

Post cards, postcards galore
It is now the 113th of her maiden crossing and I can now say, that after a month of research, writing, editing, procrastination hard work, and a crappy recording process, it, is, done.

Got an old Cunard Line sailing schedule from a 1895 Newspaper off EBay a day or 2 ago.

Silly little meme I made
OTD: 109 Years ago
RMS Lusitania departed New York for the very last time. 6 days later she was gone.
OTD 109 Years ago:
RMS Lusitania is torpedoed by U-20 and sinks in 18 minutes
1199 are killed, including 123 Americans.
The disaster among other things indirectly results in the US joining the war.
May they never be forgotten.
Yet another postcard I got
Feat a tugboat, what appears to be a tender, and a lot of people!
Wow it would only be made better if there was a famous liner in there!
Me when “When the Lusitania Went Down”
Inspiration came like an angel from heaven
Rare photograph of me going on a rant when asked something loosely related to ocean liners. (Circa 2024, colorized)
(Based on this meme ^)
Nuh uh, I’m named after the classic Franconia
