How Ocean Liners Won World War I

The First World War was full of technology and equipment, but one of the most important, and arguably decisive, elements wasn't a weapon at all: the luxury liner. This video explains the role of passenger liners in World War I, why the Allies could use them (and why Germany couldn't), the place of the liners in military and logistical strategy, and how they ultimately pushed the Allied powers over the finish line. This is a story of the war you may not have considered before now!
