Atlantic Cunard Pears Steam Ships 1935 Liner
Mauretania (Pears)
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Glance into the Golden Age of Ocean Liners This photograph showcases the majestic Mauretania, a passenger liner that once ruled the Atlantic waves as part of the renowned Cunard Line fleet. Circa 1935, the Mauretania, christened as "Pears Mauretania" due to a sponsorship deal with the Pears soap company, is seen here in all her resplendent glory. The Mauretania, launched in 1937, was the last of the great pre-war ocean liners and the last major vessel to be powered by coal. She was a true engineering marvel of her time, boasting a top speed of 30 knots and a capacity to carry over 1,800 passengers. Her sleek design, elegant interiors, and luxurious amenities made her a symbol of opulence and sophistication, attracting the wealthy and famous from around the world. The image captures the Mauretania as she gracefully cuts through the Atlantic waters, leaving a trail of white foam in her wake. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the ship, highlighting her distinctive black hull and the elegant curves of her superstructure. The funnel, adorned with the iconic Cunard Line crest, stands tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, while the lifeboats neatly aligned on the deck add a sense of security and reassurance. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of the Atlantic run, a time when ocean liners like the Mauretania epitomized the spirit of adventure, luxury, and connection between the old and the new worlds. Today, she stands as a reminder of the golden age of ocean travel, an era that continues to captivate our imaginations and inspire awe and wonder.
