EDITORS COMMENTS
The RMS Mauretania, a Marvel of the 20th Century This print showcases the iconic RMS Mauretania, a true testament to engineering brilliance in the early 1900s. Built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, this majestic ocean liner was launched on September 20th, 1906. The RMS Mauretania held two remarkable distinctions during her time: she was not only the largest ship but also the fastest in the world. Her imposing size and impressive speed made her an unrivaled marvel of maritime transportation. One groundbreaking feature that set her apart from other ships of her era was her steam turbine propulsion system. This revolutionary development in ocean liner design propelled her through waters with unprecedented efficiency and power. As a sister ship to the ill-fated Lusitania, the RMS Mauretania carried passengers across vast oceans with elegance and luxury. She played a vital role in shaping global travel as part of Cunard's Royal Mail Ship fleet. In this monochrome image captured by an unknown creator, we witness the grandeur of this magnificent vessel. The towering funnel dominates its silhouette while showcasing its prowess within the shipping industry. Today, this historic print serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and our ceaseless pursuit for progress in transportation. It stands as a tribute to an era when giants like RMS Mauretania ruled over vast expanses of water.
