EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of the Cunard RMS Aquitania in dry dock during the early 1900s. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and engineering marvel of one of the most iconic ocean liners of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Cunard RMS Aquitania, launched in 1914, was a testament to the technological advancements and design innovations of the time. With a length of 742 feet and a top speed of 22 knots, she was a sight to behold. In this photograph, we see her undergoing maintenance in a dry dock, her hull exposed, revealing the intricate details of her iron and steel frame. The image is a reminder of the painstaking process ships underwent to ensure their seaworthiness and the dedication of the workforce that made ocean travel possible. The Cunard RMS Aquitania was the last of the three sister ships, the others being the Lusitania and the Mauretania. Together, they set new standards for transatlantic travel, offering passengers luxurious accommodations and amenities. This photograph captures a moment in history, a time when travel by sea was an adventure, and the Cunard RMS Aquitania was a symbol of progress and innovation. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the hum of the workers, the clanging of tools, and the sound of the sea lapping against the dock. It's a reminder of the rich maritime history that has shaped our world and the enduring allure of the sea.
