Der Imperator und dazu der Kaiser Wilhelm Siegesmarsch! Sehr eindrucksvoll auch der stolze Adler mit dem typischen Ballin-Motto "Mein Feld ist die Welt"! Wirklich brillant! Danke für dieses wundervolle Video!
Preußens Gloria Nichts zu danken :) Einfach mal durchschauen....es gibt noch viele weitere Videos deutscher wie auch internationaler Dampfer mit schöner Musik :)
wirklich erschreckend, mit diesem Wahnsinn fing der Untergang an...stolzer Adler an einem Fahrgastschiff........Ballin ein Arschkriecher von Kaiser Wilhelm II
Somewhere I read, years ago, that the Imperator was slightly top heavy and tended to roll quite a bit in rough seas. In most of the pictures here it does look as if it's listing slightly to starboard. The eagle on the bow made the ship a few feet longer slightly edging out some of its competitors.
Even in calm seas her list was quite noticeable at times. There are lots of photos of Imperator in harbour with an obvious list, leading to the nickname "Limperator". They tried all kinds of things to try and fix it, but nothing quite worked. They reduced the height of the funnels, poured concrete into the hull, and removed heavy furniture and fittings from accommodation. When Cunard got Imperator and changed the name to Berengaria, they were so perturbed by the listing that they considered removing one of the funnels to see if that would help, but decided against.
This ship was not built by those who rule us since the 18th centruy but a remnant of the old world what a beauty a palace in the wavesyour comments about the ships stabilty are null and void these used secret tech like science and logic
Maybe someone else can confirm this but I read somewhere, a long time ago, that the Queen Mary was to be an updated version of the Berengaria but with a floor plan similar to the Aquitania's. Though built in different countries for different companies Queen Mary does look like a further development of the Imperator's design.
Cunard and the Hamburg America line used the same interior designers when building the Aquitania and Imperator class. The different teams were supposed to be working is isolation from eachother, but it seems that they "borrowed" ideas from eachother. Therefore, there were lots of similarities.

I also seem to remember that the ridiculous figurehead was destroyed during one of her first voyages by a North Atlantic storm that washed green water over the stem. The figurehead was torn clear off its mount and one of the wings was left jammed under one of the bow anchor cables. Neptune does not care to be mocked.
@You’re king Kms Bismarck 1941 I am no expert on German grammar. However, my understanding is that German ships were considered feminine nouns even if the person or word after which they were named were neuter or masculine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender_in_German
If it hadn't been for the highly nonsensical, superfluous First World War! But Kaiser Wilhelm was not the "brightest candle on the cake" and suffered from megalomania and overestimation of his powers.
The ex Berengeria now renamed Empereror only an idiot would not love a beautiful grand ship like her. she is very grand and I wish she still existed today as a hotel and museum like the Queen Mary.
Hätte die Jungfernfahrt der "unsinkbaren" Titanic nicht in so einer Katastrophe ihr Ende gefunden, wäre die Titanic heute auch nur ein Schiff unter vielen in der Geschichte.
Georg, I love the Imperator, but I never liked that eagle. It was really ugly. I actually love her without it. I know it was install in a attempt to make longer the the Aquitania, but that eagle clashed terribly with her fine lines. Anyway, Awesome tribute as always.
Agree about "top heavy". Had to do with her luxurious finishes high up in the superstructure, a lot of marble and such. She was nick-named the "Limperator" in New York, because she would seem to "limp" into port with her list, a list which is visible in some of the pictures in this video.
bradc002 I read somewhere that modifications were made to correct Imperator's list. These included shortening the funnels by 3 meters, replacing heavy wood furniture with lighter wicker furniture and removing marble from the higher parts of the ship. Then, 2,000 tons of concrete was poured into the double bottom to balance the ship's center of gravity.
In these shots, one can really see the list to starboard. I think the Americans cruelly nicknamed her the 'Limperator'. It must have broken Albert Ballin's heart when these three grand sisters were separated post WW1. Not a big fan of that garish eagle on her prow either. I understand it was torn off in a gale. I have a good book on the ship called 'Berengaria, Cunard's Happy Ship'...interesting reading about her.
+RCBM After a final conversation with Kaiser Wilhelm, Albert Ballin , in my view, seeing what was coming committed suicide. Herr Ballin and the Kaiser were best of friends in his house , which still stands in Hamburg, there is a suite of rooms which were set aside for the Kaiser & Kaiserin.
Also, "schön" war der protzige Pott wirklich nicht, aber die spektakuläre Raumgestaltung in der Ersten Klasse macht auch nach über einem Jahrhundert Abstand einen überwältigenden Eindruck auf den Betrachter. Das Schwimmbad bei 2:09 war eine (etwas verkleinerte) Kopie des Bads im "Royal Automobil Club" in London, das noch heute existiert. Es lohnt sich, Bilder zum Vergleich zu googeln. Der Rauchsalon 1. Klasse bei 0:56 ist erstaunlich rustikal, fast schon etwas schrullig, was für den Grill Room bei 2:23 ebenso gilt. Eine sehr eklektische Mixtur der Dekorationsstile, wie schon bei den White Star Schiffen, wenngleich mit erheblich imposanteren Dimensionen. Was die Innenausstattung betrifft, wirkten die Olympic (und Titanic) im Vergleich schon sehr bescheiden gegenüber dem, was die HAPAG hier bot. Äusserlich jedoch war speziell die Olympic von besonderer Eleganz. Sie war schlicht und einfach eine wirkliche maritime Schönheit, gerade auch, weil sie...nun ja, so schlichte und einfache Linien hatte. So imposant die HAPAG-Riesen waren, ästhetisch konnten sie mit der Olympic nicht mithalten.
The 1929 Bremen. My website is waynekusy.com I have other ships and they are all built from tootpicks. My facebook page has my new liner SS America or better known as the American Star. facebook.com/wayne.kusy
Although it doesnt lack a certain elegance, the whole thing is so GERMAN! Just look at the "Bier Restaurant" at 2.25! And this horrible March!That ridiculous Eagle! Typical for the German Kaiserreich. I AM German🤓😜
Ein sehr schönes Schiff. Wieso kann man heute nicht Schiffe bauen die so elegant wie früher sind, aber den ganzen Modernen Schnickschnack haben? Statt dessen baut man heute zumeist stock hässliche Hochhäuser auf Wasser, nur um möglichst viele Passagiere rein quetschen zu können...
It's "der" Imperator but it's "die" Vaterland, when "Vaterland" is actually a neuter noun taking, "das"? Like in English, is a ship always a "sie" ("she") in German, and the Imperator was an exception at the request of the Kaiser or someone? Was it also "die" Bismarck in German, and not "der" or "das" Bismarck?
Also for German ships the Rule "a ship is a she" applies. However there was an exeption: Steamliner Imperator which was refered to as "Der Imperator" as desired by the Kaiser himself.
Englishmen are galant and named all ships as a lady. My opinion is :" Thats wrigt!", beceause I am also loving ships. For me, as an old privat- Sailor, a Ship posesses a soul and most it is very beautifull. If You are sailing in haevy weather or storm, your ship is your comrade and you are loving it like a fine lady. A ship is not dead, a ship is moving is living !
Comparing all three German three stackers to the British four funnel vessels the Germans look very heavy. Three thin stacks look somewhat oddly as for the ship of such size. Slender Aquitania was the most beautiful in those years.
The Aquitania's exterior design was always controversial and was often described as "boxy". The designers had taken the unusual step of not having a raised forecastle, with the result that it made the superstructure look too big for the hull from certain angles. The benefit the Imperator class had with three funnels was internal. The rooms inside were massive, and in the Vaterland and Bismarck, they took the novel step of splitting the funnel uptakes to the side of the ship, rather than having them rise straight up through the ship as they had done on all previous ships. The result was to create huge interior space, and the ability for the first time to see straight down the ship with no obstruction. It created an open, airy and spacious feel that just wasn't the case on other liners.
Albert Ballin war wirklich ein Pionier der Schifffahrt!

The brother of my grandfather was a pastry chef on the SS IMPERATOR in 1914.

Wie prunkvoll diese Schiffe damals waren. Einfach schön. Schade das es sowas nicht mehr gibt.
Wäre heute wahrscheinlich nicht mehr bezahlbar
Die Imperator Klasse sind die schönsten Schiffe die jemals auf kiel gelegt worden sind

O my God the dining room looks just like the Lusitania's dining room that is mind blowing and very cool

Nur größer, sicherer und besser....
A beautiful ship, but she was top heavy. Throughout her career she had a reputation for rolling in even the most calm of seas.

Jack Cuoco It seems, anyway, her list was fixed by the time she became the "Berengaria". The latter never seemed to have the same problem.
@@bradc002She still listed badly throughout her life as Berengaria. Cunard actually considered removing one of the funnels to see if that would help.

Thank you for posting. I build models of ocean liners and the German liners are the best. My next ship is TS Bremen

Bjr, pourais tu me dire la musique que tu a mis pour cette vidéo ? Mrc de me rappeler
La musique est "Kaiser Wilhelm - Siegesmarsch". :-)
Britain: The Olympic is the largest ship in the world
Germany : Hold mein Bier 🍺
In Germany we "halt mal mein bier fest"

Only Germans could build something like this.

The Olympic was way more beautiful than the Aquitania in my opinion.

Der Imperator ist falsch. Richtig: die Imperator, bei schiffen wird ein weiblicher Artikel verwendet.
Falsch. Auf Kaisers Wunsch sollte das Schiff DER Imperator heißen. Ballin hatte eigentlich den Namen Europa vorgesehen.
Der Kaiser wollte das dass Schiff mit männlichen Artikeln angesprochen wird

I hate that bird.
