EDITORS COMMENTS
RMS Mauretania, the pride of the White Star Line's fleet, is shown here gracefully anchored in Fishguard Harbour, Wales. This iconic ocean liner, built in 1907, was the fastest passenger ship in the world at the time of her launch, holding the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing for over twenty years. With a length of 127,539 gross register tons and a top speed of 23.9 knots, the Mauretania was a marvel of maritime engineering. The ship's sleek hull, adorned with elegant lines and ornate decorations, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the era of ocean liners. The Mauretania was renowned for its luxurious accommodations, including spacious cabins, grand ballrooms, and fine dining rooms. It was a floating palace, offering passengers a luxurious and comfortable journey across the Atlantic. Despite her impressive size and speed, the Mauretania was not just a means of transportation but also a symbol of status and wealth. The ship's arrival in port was a much-anticipated event, drawing large crowds of people eager to catch a glimpse of this magnificent vessel. This photograph captures the RMS Mauretania in all her glory, anchored in Fishguard Harbour, with the rugged Welsh coastline serving as a picturesque backdrop. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of elegance, luxury, and adventure on the high seas.
