Description

The pride and joy of Cunard Line.

RMS Mauretania was an ocean liner designed by Leonard Peskett and built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Wallsend, Tyne and Wear for the British Cunard Line, and launched on 20 September 1906. At the time, she was the largest and fastest ship in the world. Mauretania became a favourite among her passengers. After capturing the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing during her 1907 inaugural season, Mauretania held the speed record for twenty-two years.

The ship's name was taken from Mauretania, an ancient Roman province on the northwest African coast, not related to the modern Mauritania. Similar nomenclature was also employed by Mauretania's sister ship, the Lusitania, which was named after the Roman province directly north of Mauretania, across the Strait of Gibraltar. the region that now is Portugal.


And another one:)
I hate her legs.:P

Theme song: "Sleeping sun" Nightwish[link]

The sun is sleeping quietly - Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red - Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life - For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time - Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night time - to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me - Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping - Weeping - With you

"I'm a great service. Lusitania and I were really hasty. Aquitania too. Lusitania was converted into a troopship, but was lost by U-20 in 1915. Aquitania and I were both converted into hospital ships. I was sold for scrap in 1935, Aquitania in 1950. Who am I? I am RMS Mauretania."
