A wall of forts and palisades once surrounded New Orleans, but what happened to them? Well, there may yet be a trace of them left in the French Quarter!

The down fall of steamships was the efficiency of the boilers compared to diesel power plants. Which is a shame as steam turbine power plants are clean , no vibration and take up less space.
I'm curious what you mean because many ocean liners with steam turbine power suffered vibration issues that forced a reduction in speed to maximize passenger comfort. RMS Mauretania and RMS Queen Mary both had to undergo strengthening modification in the stern areas just to reduce vibration in Second Class. Not only that but the power plant for their steam turbine system occupied the entire lower deck nearly from stem to stern. However, diesel ships like Queen Mary 2, only dedicate about one-fifth of their lower deck to the power plant, leaving the rest to food storage space.

Very good video. This is my second time watching it. I live just a few minutes drive from the house. I visited it once again last weekend after watching your video the first time. I hadn’t been there in years. Thanks for the good video. There is an error though. When you say “Santa Clarita Valley” It is actually “Santa Clara Valley” 4:16
I grew up in Michigan, and there ain't no way my parents were going to take me to Damn Disneyland.!! When my best friends Dad rented a "Ef'fin Winnebago" and took his 5 kids to LA via Grand Canyon, I begged to go with them and even conspired to stowaway in the RV closet.! I was so dedicated to this mission that eventually I earned a trip to Disneyworld in Orlando selling newspaper subscriptions, to get the Grand Prize trip to FLA. Eventually, I made it to Disneyland as an adult, twice, and finally got my damn dream come true. "Never Give Up, Never Surrender".!!
I would say the QM would have survived the Ice Burg. We know today that there is not a gash in the starboard side of the Titanic. The ice burg caused a separation of the plates where the rivets gave way. This was in part to due the fact that the temperature of the sea water that night was below freezing at 28° to 31° and affected the strength of the steel. Yes, cold water can snap steel. See the SS Schenectady. With the QM having the longitudinal water tight bulkheads and the double hull, I feel she would have survived. All things considered the Titanic saved as many people as she could by sinking as slowly, and evenly as she did. Not many ships that have sunk before or since where able to launch ALL their life boats. Not even the Costa Concordia. Titanic was able to launch ALL of hers. She was a well built ship there is no doubt about that. It was a long list of human errors that sank her.

I was there opening day Oct 1 1971 my birthday was Oct 2.. back then I think it was $3.50 to get in but you had to buy tickets for each ride A to E tickets.. thus a killer ride today is called an “E” ticket! Probably been there 30 times over the years. Sad so much of Disney now is all greed.. I’ve done business with the company and they rip off your products and make them in China. I had the idea when all they had were Mickey t shirts to do shirts for each major ride.. space mountain … pirates of the Caribbean.. splash mountain.. haunted mansion etc..so I did a presentation of sketches to the company and they said thanks only to do it themselves a few weeks later.. geesh!
Now that there planning on closing down the "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN" for good because of a couple of woke wackjobs is one more reason why I'll never go again. My last visit was AUGUST 1983. I payed $ 26.00 at the time. Unreal.
I dont know who told you that, but they lied to you. Pirates of the Caribbean is not closing permanently.
I love the queen Mary she’s a beautiful ship, I’ve always wanted to visit her🚢😍👻"
Disneyland was fun as a kid but now it's been taken over by the Liberals so now it's the evil Rat
Well That's Good 👍
Nice One 👍
Well There's Sometimes Website's Online That Lie To Us And That Must Be Where People Are Getting This Information From About Cunard Being The Fastest and White Star Not Being The Fastest For Luxury We Should All Know Now From This Video That These Websites Saying Are Misinformation For Sure
Nice 👍
I saw the apparition of a very creepy , decrepit, seedy looking old man when I visited . I discovered later it was the day joe Biden visited.
Brilliant idea to have “simulated water”. Shame it didn’t work so well but there must have been some other way .
I spent five years working on this beautiful ship as an Able Seaman. The stories i could tell.
I rode the SF cable car once more than a decade ago and it was a fun ride. Now I live in Hong Kong, I still like to take the tram.
a government doing it right!
Went to Disneyland with family a couple times in the 90's and DisneyWorld for my senior class trip. It really was magical. As much as I hate on Disney now I'd still take my kids there, it's a mind opening experience.
Pahoua and I would LOVE this! I think they should star services in the Synagogue open to everyone + reopen the pool to swim in. ❤
It sounds much better in person
Did you ever try to capture it on film or take photos? I would've been terrified
very interesting
If Walt was alive today, probably his first act would be to fire everyone who is currently running the company.
Over these past few months, I've been becoming more and more of a Queen Mary fan. I used to staunchly sing the praises of the Normandie and the Queen Elizabeth and poke fun at the Mary, but now I realise just how iconic she is, and that she well disserves her praise. Perhaps if Kylsant hadn't run White Star into the ground, we'd have gotten Oceanic. Perhaps if Normandie hadn't have burnt, it'd be a different story. Perhaps if the Elizabeth had been able to escape her sister's shadow and wasn't cremated at Hong Kong, things would've been different again. Queen Mary is a survivor, and I've learnt to absolutely love her. Not gonna say I love the Normandie any less, I've just learnt to adore this grand old lady. Normandie was modern. Queen Mary was practical. Normandie was glamourous. Queen Mary was comfortable.
Exactly, that's been my goal these past few years was to get people to see that Queen Mary didn't have to be like Normandie or the others, she was unique in her own way and deserves to be recognized for her design and her contribution to the world.
This story was never "UNTOLD" 😅
Oh interesting, where did you hear information about her other houses in Atherton, or her house boat, or her plans for an estate in Berlingame where there would be neighborhoods surrounded by canals, or her philanthropy, or her activism for animal rights?
did u hear iasw theme in beggining?
What a beautiful lady Sarah was. She suffered so much yet triumph over it all, what amazing strength. May Sarah be at peace with her loved ones in the afterlife.❤
It’s beautiful been there about 10 or more years ago. Been wanting to go but no one wants to go afraid I guess but something else in there
I'll add an 11th: walk the promenade deck. Or the boat deck: that works too. Walking around up on deck is a classic and relaxing seagoing pasttime, as well as providing good exercise. As an athlete myself, I know I would love nothing more than to go thundering around the deck at full speed for as many laps as I can. :D
No Jews…..
This is a wonderful video. I stay on her when I go on my cruises and learn a lot while staying on her. This video has given me so much more information. She is a beautiful ship and I am very proud to have been able to stay aboard her and look forward to many more stays. Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
@16:35 this wasn’t the first theme park in the world. Heck Knott’s Berry opened in 1920. But there were several other parks around the world that opened before Disneyland.
"though steam turbines are not used anymore"--inaccurate, they are used on all our nuclear submarines!
I said "rarely used" and I meant in the context of passenger liners.
@@AlextheHistorianmost naval destroyers up until recently still used the steam turbine, and again, yes, all our nuke subs still do, due to their efficiency
Naval destroyers and submarines are military vessels not passenger ocean liners, though.
I wonder what hr would think about his Disneyland now since they went WOKE??
It's like Futurama's Old New York
I’m surprised how you put the QE2 at #9. It’s one of the greatest ocean liners of all time.
I'm just not a fan of the space-age look. Most of the ships on my list are built prior to World War II with the exception of QE2 and QM2, but only because QM2 is designed with a modern Art Deco style. I really only like QE2 because of its work as a troopship.
Amazing video. I would love to visit some day
I have been fascinated by Sarah Winchester's story for years and this video is a wonderful testament to an incredible woman. Thank you for this!!!
From living in the Bay Area, and talking to a few people who actually knew her, and whose family members worked for her, she was a kind woman who had the money to employ many people, and paid well above the going rate.
