EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic ocean liner, The Mauretania, in all its glory. Taken in 1922 but printed in 1935, this image captures a significant moment in maritime history. The Mauretania was renowned for its record-breaking speed and efficiency during transatlantic crossings. In May 1922, this majestic vessel shattered previous records by completing the journey from New York to Southampton in an astonishing time of just 5 days, 8 hours, and 56 minutes. However, it didn't stop there; later that year in November, The Mauretania surpassed its own achievement by crossing from New York to Plymouth in a remarkable time of only 4 days, 23 hours, and 15 minutes. The photograph depicts the ship docked at a bustling port with cranes towering above it. This scene symbolizes not only the power and grandeur of The Mauretania but also represents Britain's thriving shipping industry during the early twentieth century. Printed within "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. , London in 1935, this image serves as a reminder of an era when steamships ruled the seas and transportation across vast distances became faster than ever before. Though created by an unknown photographer or artist whose name has been lost to time, their work immortalizes one of history's most celebrated passenger ships – forever capturing its elegance and significance
