Cunard White Star, Lancastria: A Voyage Through History and Engineering Marvel This deck plan of the Cunard White Star liner, Lancastria, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of one of the most iconic ocean liners of the early 20th century. Built in 1922, Lancastria was a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the Cunard White Star Line, which revolutionized transatlantic travel. The intricate details of this deck plan reveal the ship's impressive dimensions: a length of 792 feet, a breadth of 92 feet, and a tonnage of 19,800 gross register tons. Powered by twin screw propellers and turbine engines, Lancastria could reach impressive speeds of up to 19 knots. Her advanced design, including oil-burning engines, paved the way for more efficient and faster ocean liners. The deck plan also highlights the various amenities and accommodations onboard, including the Grand Saloon, a luxurious dining and social space, and the First Class Dining Room, which offered passengers an unparalleled dining experience. The deck plan also reveals the ship's extensive deck space, which provided ample opportunities for passengers to enjoy the sea air and take in the breathtaking views of the ocean. Tragically, Lancastria's history is also marked by a devastating fire in 1940, which ultimately led to the ship's demise. Despite this, the memory of this magnificent vessel lives on, not only as a symbol of the golden age of ocean liner travel but also as a testament to the engineering prowess of the Cunard White Star Line. This rare and intriguing deck plan, a treasure from the archives of Cunard White Star, invites us to explore the rich history of this iconic ship and the era of transatlantic travel it represented.
