EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic SS Asturias, an ocean liner that graced the waters from the late 1920s until the end of the 1950s. Built in 1926, the SS Asturias was a symbol of luxury and leisure, offering passengers an unparalleled travel experience as they cruised the ocean waves. During the 1940s, the SS Asturias was called into service for the war effort. Despite its grandeur, it was pressed into duty as a transport ship, carrying troops and supplies across the Atlantic. The ship's distinctive funnel, adorned with the elegant lettering "SS Asturias," can be seen in this image, a testament to its former glory. Following the war, the SS Asturias returned to its role as a passenger liner. However, its most enduring legacy came in 1957 when it was used as the Titanic in the iconic film "A Night to Remember." This classic movie, which depicted the tragic sinking of the RMS Titanic, brought the SS Asturias back into the spotlight and ensured its place in maritime history. In this photograph, the SS Asturias is seen being towed by a tugboat, with lifeboats stationed nearby. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the ship's dual role as a symbol of luxury and a vital transport vessel during the 1940s. The SS Asturias, with its elegant lines and powerful presence, continues to captivate us with its rich history and enduring allure.
