EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the RMS Lusitania and her sister-ship RMS Mauretania, two magnificent steamships that ruled the waves on the Atlantic run in the early 1910s. These Cunarders, not to be confused with the shipping company, were the epitome of maritime innovation and speed. Built between 1906 and 1907, the Lusitania and Mauretania were the fastest vessels in the world at the time, each capable of reaching speeds over 22 knots (approximately 26 mph or 42 km/h). Their sleek designs and advanced engineering made them a sight to behold as they cut through the Atlantic waves. The Lusitania, named after the ancient Roman province of Lusitania, was the first of the two ships to be launched. She set the standard for ocean liners, offering luxurious accommodations, fine dining, and entertainment for her passengers. The Mauretania, named after the Roman province of Mauretania, followed suit, boasting similar amenities and setting new records for transatlantic crossings. This photograph, taken circa 1910, captures the essence of a bygone era in maritime history. The Lusitania and Mauretania represented the pinnacle of steamship design and technology, paving the way for future ocean liners and setting the stage for a new era of travel across the Atlantic. Despite their grandeur, both ships met tragic ends. The Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat during World War I in 1915, resulting in the loss of over 1,100 lives. The Mauretania continued to serve in various capacities until she was retired in 1965. Today, they remain iconic symbols of the golden age of ocean travel and a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the human spirit.
