EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, taken in 1914 by renowned maritime photographer G.H. Davis, captures the Aquitania of the British White Star Line and the Vaterland of the German Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (Hapag), two colossal ocean liners that epitomized the spirit of luxury and competition in the early 20th century. The Aquitania, with its elegant lines and imposing presence, is shown on the left side of the image. At the time, it was the largest ship in the White Star fleet, boasting a length of 882 feet 6 inches (269 meters) and a displacement of 45,119 tons. Its powerful quadruple-expansion engines generated a horsepower of 29,000, enabling it to reach impressive speeds of over 22 knots. On the right side of the photograph lies the Vaterland, the sister ship of the Lusitania, which was then the flagship of the Hapag fleet. Measuring 882 feet 6 inches (269 meters) in length and displacing 45,327 tons, the Vaterland was only slightly larger than the Aquitania. Its impressive quadruple-expansion engines produced a horsepower of 30,000, granting it a slightly faster cruising speed of 22.5 knots. The comparison between these two vessels, captured in this image, highlights the intense rivalry between the British and German shipping lines during this period. Both ships were symbols of national pride and represented the pinnacle of maritime engineering and luxury. The photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the history of ocean travel and the spirit of competition that drove the design and construction of these magnificent vessels.
