Mauretania Cig: A Glimpse into Maritime History This photograph showcases the iconic RMS Mauretania, a steam ship that once ruled the waves as the fastest vessel in the world. The image, taken in 1907, captures the grandeur and sophistication of this marvel of engineering, which was part of the esteemed Cunard Line fleet. The RMS Mauretania, named after the ancient Roman province in North Africa, was launched in 1906 and was the largest and fastest passenger liner in service until surpassed by her sister ship, Lusitania, in 1907. With a top speed of 27 knots, she set numerous records for transatlantic crossings and became a symbol of luxury and progress during the Edwardian era. This photograph, part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective on the Mauretania, revealing her sleek lines, imposing size, and elegant details. The ship's tall funnel, adorned with the Cunard Line's distinctive black funnel with a white band, stands proudly against the sky, while the intricate latticework of her deck railings and the ornate details of her bridge add to her allure. The Mauretania's influence on maritime history is undeniable, as she paved the way for a new era of ocean travel, setting the standard for luxury, speed, and innovation. This photograph serves as a testament to her enduring legacy, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the awe-inspiring achievements of mankind's engineering prowess.
