EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite postcard, entitled 'Funnels of Mauretania and Lusitania, Canada Dock Basin, October 14th 1909,' is an extremely rare find from the William Affleck Anderson Archive, available through Mary Evans Prints Online. The image captures the Cunard sister ships, RMS Mauretania and RMS Lusitania, docked at Canada Dock Basin. Built between 1906 and 1907, these magnificent ocean liners were the epitome of Edwardian transport and travel, symbolizing the pinnacle of luxury and engineering innovation during the early 1900s. Mauretania and Lusitania were the first two ships to be designed as both Cunard's express liners and ocean liners, capable of making regular transatlantic crossings while maintaining impressive speeds. Their distinctive black funnels, which can be clearly seen in this postcard, were a defining feature of the Cunard fleet. The photograph was taken on October 14th, 1909, and the image offers a unique glimpse into the past, revealing the grandeur and elegance of these iconic vessels. As you gaze upon the image, you can almost hear the hum of the engines, feel the cool sea breeze, and imagine the excitement of passengers as they embarked on their transatlantic journeys. This postcard, from the William Affleck Anderson Archive, is an invaluable historical document that offers a glimpse into the golden age of ocean liner travel. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the engineers, designers, and seafarers who made these magnificent vessels a reality. This is a must-have for any collection focusing on maritime history, transportation, or the Edwardian era.
