Worst Ship Makeover Ever!? #titanic #shorts #history #ship #fact #fy #viral
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The video discusses the conversion of the Axel Johnson class container ships into cruise vessels by the Costa line. Originally designed and built in the late 1960s as utilitarian cargo ships, two sister ships were purchased in 1988. The conversion process began in 1990 with the goal of transforming the vessels into the MV Costa Marina and the MV Costa Allegra. The creator notes that while the intention was to create luxury cruise ships, the external appearance remained unconvincing due to the original container ship lines. The ships featured a large, blocky superstructure added to the existing design. Despite the aesthetic challenges mentioned, the creator observes that the interior accommodations may have been successful. This is supported by the fact that both ships remained in service for many years, cruising until approximately 2013 when they were eventually retired and scrapped.

Creator's Key Takeaways
the Axel Johnson class were a group of utilitarian container ships designed and built in the late 1960s not exactly what comes to mind when you think of luxury cruising
blessed them for trying but from the outside at least they just weren't very convincing looking cruise ships
the ship still had those utilitarian container ship lines but now with a nice added fat blocky super structure on top
still they must have been nice on the inside because the pair cruised all the way up until about 2013 before being retired and scrapped
