Try the ultimate tool to upscale the quality of vintage video to 4K: RMS Lucania was a British ocean liner owned by the Cunard Steamship Line Shipping Company and launched on Thursday, 2 February 1893. She was the joint largest passenger liner afloat when she entered service in 1893. On her second voyage, she won the prestigious Blue Riband from the other Cunarder to become the fastest passenger liner afloat, a title she kept until 1898. Several experiments with the Marconi radio were carried out at RMS Lucania, including the first ice bulletin in the Atlantic, long-distance transmissions, and the first Atlantic voyage with full radio coverage. On the evening of 14 August 1909, she was badly damaged by a fire and sold for scrap. The construction of the Titanic had begun 5 months earlier, in April 1909. Music: J.S. Bach, Orchestral suite no. 3 in D major, BWV 1068 - 1. Ouverture Join as a member to support this channel:
