EDITORS COMMENTS
RMS Megantic: A Survivor of War and Crime on the High Seas This stunning painting, titled 'RMS Megantic' and created by the renowned maritime artist Charles Dixon around 1909, captures the majesty and grandeur of the White Star Line's transatlantic steamer, RMS Megantic. Launched in 1908, this ocean liner was a marvel of engineering and design, measuring over 600 feet in length and capable of carrying over 2,000 passengers in its luxurious cabins. The RMS Megantic's illustrious career was not without its share of drama and intrigue. During World War I, the ship was attacked by a German U-boat but managed to survive, thanks to the quick thinking and bravery of its crew. The vessel continued to ply the transatlantic route, transporting passengers safely between Europe and North America. However, the RMS Megantic's most notorious passenger was none other than Dr. Hawley Crippen, a Canadian physician who was wanted for the murder of his wife. In 1910, Crippen and his mistress, Ethel Le Neve, boarded the Megantic disguised as a Mr. and Mrs. Frewen, evading detection as they sailed back to England. They were eventually arrested in Canada, and Crippen was brought back to England for trial and execution. Despite this dark chapter in its history, the RMS Megantic continued to serve the White Star Line until its retirement in 1933, when it was eventually scrapped. This painting serves as a reminder of the ship's storied past and the many tales of adventure, intrigue, and history it carried with it across the ocean waves.
