Half-model of Ocean Liner “Mauretania”

About the Item

A fine half-hull model of RMS Mauretania, sister ship of the ill-fated Lusitania. Hand made in wood with metal fittings, the model is cleverly mounted on a period mirror giving the illusion of a full hull model without taking up additional space. The model is currently enclosed in a custom plexiglass case. RMS Mauretania was an ocean liner designed by Leonard Peskett and built by Wigham Richardson and Swan Hunter on the River Tyne, England for the British Cunard Line, launched on the afternoon of 20 September 1906. She was the world's largest ship until the launch of RMS Olympic in 1910. Mauretania became a favourite among her passengers. She captured the eastbound Blue Riband on her maiden return voyage in December 1907, then claimed the westbound Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing during her 1909 season. She held both speed records for 20 years.
