Its towering funnels symbolize power and elegance, reminiscent of an era when ocean liners ruled the seas. Next, we encounter the RMS Mauretania, another marvel from the Hamburg American Line. Its grandeur is immortalized in a vintage passenger ship poster that beckons travelers to explore distant lands. As we venture further, an aviation poster for Portsmouth, Southsea & Isle of Wight catches our eye.
