Simply put, they were outdated, they served their purpose for 30+ years. Better technology came about and the ships built later were just more feasible economically than the older ships. The steam ships had to have millions of dollars dumped onto them to convert them from pollutive coal power engines to diesel fuel engines. This helped somewhat but it wasn't enough to keep them around when bigger, faster and more efficient ships were being built. Also the great depression killed a lot of jobs, trans Atlantic travel dropped to record lows. It was so bad that White Star line and Cunard had to merge together in order to survive the great depression. My great grandparents used to tell me about it growing up. People had no other choice but to re-purpose, recycle and reuse a lot of materials, food, and other products to save money and ensure food rations could get them through the hard winters etc. This same mentality was present in the shipping companies of the era as well.

It is sad , but all steel ships have a finite lifespan . Rust eventually wins out . I think it was Aquitainia that had a piano fall through one of the decks that had weakened due to rust . It is no more sad than steam locomotives being scrapped after later methods of traction came along , or even cars , many of which are scrapped when still perfectly serviceable, but the marketing machine and keeping up with the Joneses persuade so many people to change when they don’t really need to

If you ever watch the Mauritania last voyage footage it says goodbye to the world's most famous ship. This being said why didn't they save her along with the Olympic. The Olympic was nearly identical to her ill fated sisters (the Titanic and brittanic) and the Mauritania was nearly identical to the lusitania. The Mauritania's third sister survived the great depression but sadly was scrapped in 1950. Imagine if the Olympic and Mauritania would have been saved and turned into museums. It would be like getting a close look at their ill fated sisters. Unfortunately almost no ships from this Era survive :(

+Jarrod Boyd I don't think that any ocean liner built between 1846 and 1933 has been saved. We have the older SS Great Britain (1845) and the younger RMS Queen Mary (1934). RMS Mauretania was Cunard's flagship for 27 years and hold the Blue Riband record for 20 years. She should have been worth saving. Well, nobody cares of the new cruise ships of today either, but in the next century maybe some people will find them interesting.

For those wondering why these old ships usually aren't saved, some facts: - Think of it like a car. A civilian liner ship's seaworthy life (barring major accidents) is typically at best, around 30 years. Hulls corrode in salt water and salty air, stresses of the sea, etc. They take their toll. The other thing is market change, as new features and conveniences are available, it's harder to upgrade these ships to accommodate them without losing passenger space (i.e. profits.) Today, they're sold down to smaller cruise lines and so on until the ships become too costly to maintain. And by this time, they're in pretty sorry shape. You can't safely transport passengers on them anymore (per international law.) And it will keep costing far more to maintain them than buying replacements.

In 2019, 1907 is interesting, and, museum worthy because everything has changed so much. No one is going to sit on the rusting hulk of a retired ocean liner long enough for it to come back onto fashion, and interest as a museum piece. The Queen Mary, Elizabeth, and, the SS United States are special cases because they were the last of their type. At the time the Mauretania, Olympic, and Aquatania were scrapped, they were just old, outdated ships, in a sea of newer ships, with new ships still being built.

One of the absolute greatest liners to ever sail the waves. On Reddit there's a tournament going on called the Linerlympics: Mauretania will be facing off against Normandie in the quarterfinals. She's really up against it, but with what she was, she's getting my vote. If you're on Reddit, I encourage you to check it out. :D

Talk about a missed opportunity with Olympic...a museum ship, an almost exact copy of Titanic? It would've been more famous than the Queen Mary. Sure, upkeep would be crazy expensive, but just think about how many people would've visited her.

I still don't understand why the Olympic and Mauretania could not be preserved because In my opinion the Queen Mary is very ugly

gtb2009b actually both Mauretania and Olympic where scrapped because in order to built the Queen Mary the Cunard White Star could not mantain both of them in service since there was a poor economic situation. Really sad indeed

They also did not preserve ships in those days. The Queen Mary is the only one. The SS UNITED STATES is still intact but it is probably too late for her.

It’s so heartbreaking seeing such a beautiful and legendary ship being torn apart like that. Why didn’t Cunard listen to those who pleaded for them not to scrap her?? So much maritime history! It would’ve been wonderful if she had survived to be alive today along with her successor Queen Mary.

C P very tragic and heartbreaking but she is beaten up and is falling apart. Preserving her might just result of her capsizing later.

I wonder why they didn’t just go for an even 800’? I actually like these ships better than the Olympic Class. Everyone goes on and on about the Titanic, like it was more legendary than it actually was. It was just one of three ships built to run a specific route. It’s sinking was tragic, but so was Lusitania and Empress Of Ireland. Could never figure out what made Titanic’s sinking so special.

Gabriel Miller I am kind of against the scrapping but if the ships weren’t scrapped worse things like capsizing and catching fire might just cost Cunard WS Line more. And they were falling apart.
