    The Aragon is very beautiful outside and inside! Her interriors remind me of the Titanic,Lusitania and the Mauretania put together to make this very beautiful ship!

      @casey wagner She was designed by Harland and Wolff, so you will see a lot of similarities to White Star Liners like the Olympic Class. But indeed she is very beautiful!!

    Georg, where do you find so these photos that are not only rare but of such high quality and that are such a mix of the ship's interior and exterior? What a collection! And the music and vocals are nice also.---Something I always especially like are the tables used for writing (:46): with the different compartments for stationery and envelopes and maybe with an inkwell. I noticed that the desk at 1:39 has a feature for holding writing materials. It looks like it may be part of the desk itself rather just placed on top. At :33 I noticed that under the washbasins is a place where magazines or newspapers or maybe books can be placed: an unusual location but a good use of space. Maybe someone else knows: could the sinks be tilted up into the cabinet and the area below be raised and used for a desktop?

    Great video, especially the music. Without a doubt, I think that's the exact same music used for tugs in the ending of the ghost episode

    Wow can't believe this gorgeous ship passed through here in South America, how immigrants came for Brazil here in this wonderful liner?

    Oh I do wonder what a 1st class passage to south America cost and how long did it take?

      I don't know how much it would have cost but the journey would take probably atleast 25 days on this ship, if not longer.
