Mauretania: A Marvel of Maritime Engineering This photograph showcases the majestic Mauretania, a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of maritime engineering in the early 20th century. Built at Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson shipyard in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1906, Mauretania was an architectural marvel and a symbol of progress. At the time of her launch, she held the title of the largest liner in the world, with a gross tonnage of 32,000 and a length of 790 feet. Mauretania's impressive dimensions were not her only distinguishing features. Her four steam turbines, developed by the foremost engineers of the era, boasted a staggering 68,000 horsepower. This engineering feat enabled Mauretania to achieve speeds exceeding 27 knots, making her a true speed queen of the seas. The Mauretania was not just a marvel of size and power; she was also a work of art. Her sleek lines and elegant curves were a sight to behold, inspiring awe and admiration from all who saw her. This photograph captures her in all her glory, a reminder of a bygone era when the world seemed a little smaller, and the possibilities seemed endless.
