EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the launch of the RMS Aquitania on April 21st, 1913. The Aquitania, belonging to the renowned Cunard Line, was a magnificent ocean liner that followed in the footsteps of its famous predecessors, the Mauretania and Lusitania. As the last four-stack liner ever built, it held a special place in maritime history. In this image by Bedford Lemere, we witness this grand vessel gliding gracefully into the water for her maiden voyage. The sheer size and elegance of the Aquitania are awe-inspiring as she stands tall against a backdrop of glistening waves. Her four iconic funnels were added later, becoming an unmistakable trademark feature. Designed to accommodate over 2000 passengers on Cunard's weekly transatlantic service, this ship represented an era when sea travel was at its pinnacle. It symbolized luxury and comfort during a time when crossing oceans meant embarking on an extraordinary adventure. Bedford Lemere's expert photography skillfully captures every detail - from intricate architectural elements to delicate reflections dancing upon calm waters. This photograph serves as both a testament to human ingenuity in shipbuilding and an homage to our enduring fascination with exploration and transportation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time through Bedford Lemere's lens, we cannot help but be transported back to that monumental day when dreams set sail aboard one of Britain's most celebrated ocean liners
