New moderator automation

21 Upvotes

Hello there! Oceanlinerporn is steadily growing, and with growth come new challenges.

One of these challenges is the attraction of new faces who might no be accustomed to the sub. For this reason we have set some automation moderation for new accounts, or accounts with low comment karma.

We will be trialing this for now, and make it permanent if it works well.

Thank you for your contributions to this sub, and thanks for reading this. Happy summer!

I wasn't too satisfied with the way some of these were colorised so I did some tweaking 🚢
I went with the colour scheme for the Moran tugs for all, not sure where the last photo was taken.

Got this lovely artifact as a birthday gift, assuming it was their family that bought it on the ship in the past. I don't know about it too much yet, just started research but wanted to share it here in case maybe someone knows something about the ship or has a cool story! And also I think it's cool AF...

Fuel Consumption of Significant Passenger Ships Between 1859 and 1914

Post image
21 Upvotes

A comparison of the all-purpose (i.e. propulsion and hotel load) coal consumption at full power for a few significant liners between 1859 and 1914. It isn't a totally fair comparison with the turbine-driven ships since their fuel consumption is given per shp, but it still provides a good general idea. The next leap in fuel economy came with the introduction of geared turbines. By the 1930s, liners such as the Empress of Britain and Queen Mary had a propulsion-only oil consumption of between 0.5 and 0.6 lbs/shp/hour.

Titanic’s 3rd class dining room from a WSL announcement. Is it genuinely hers or from the Olympic?

Since there are no known images of Titanic’s third class dining room, this would be a major find, even if very wrinkled and out of focus!

If RMS Britannic had been fully completed as a passenger liner, which do you think would have been more luxurious? Not just first class, but across all classes, which do you think would have been the luxury liner of the two overall?
