Mauretania of 1907
This page is devoted to postcards and photographs of the Cunard Liner
Mauretania (1)
of 1907.
Mauretania (1)
was a sister to the
Lusitania
, delivered two months previously. She was built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson, on the River Tyne.
Mauretania (1)
made her maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York on the 16th November 1907, and set an eastbound record on the return leg of that trip. This was the first of eight eastbound records
Mauretania (1)
would set, the last coming in 1924. In all, she held the eastbound record from 1907 until 1929. In addition, she set a westbound record in 1909 that would also stand until 1929.
During WW1,
Mauretania (1)
served as a troopship, a hospital ship and a troopship again before being returned to Cunard in 1919 for service from Southampton. After being damaged by fire in 1921,
Mauretania (1)
was converted from coal to oil as part of her refitting. She continued in transatlantic service through the 1920's, but by 1930, was used mainly for cruising. On 26th September 1934
Mauretania (1)
left New York on her final Atlantic crossing and she was scraped the following year.
