EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Cunard Liner SS Berengaria gracefully passes through the lines of the British Fleet, assembled for the grand Spithead Review on her homeward journey from New York in December 1935. The SS Berengaria, a majestic vessel built in 1912 for the Hamburg-American Line, previously known as Imperator, was a 52,226-ton liner measuring 883 feet in length with a speed of 23 knots. This impressive ship, with its rich history, had been acquired by Cunard Line in 1933. The Spithead Review was a ceremonial event held to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee, marking his 25th year on the British throne. The British Fleet, assembled in the Solent, displayed a grand spectacle of naval power and tradition. The SS Berengaria, with her sleek silhouette and imposing presence, added to the grandeur of the occasion as she sailed past the fleet on her homeward journey from her transatlantic voyage. The SS Berengaria, built in 1912, had a long and storied history. She had served as a troopship during World War I and later as a luxury liner for the Hamburg-American Line. In 1938, she was sold for scrap in New York, marking the end of her illustrious career. This photograph captures a moment in time, a fleeting instant in the ship's history, as she passes through the lines of the British Fleet during the Spithead Review in 1935. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of the early 20th century and the grandeur of ocean travel during that era. The SS Berengaria, with her impressive size, speed, and history, adds to the allure of this historic moment. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the grandeur of ocean travel during the early 20th century.
