The yacht was built by the Clyde shipbuilders Messrs John Brown & Co at a cost of 2,098,000 to replace her 50-year-old predecessor, Victoria and Albert III.

DESCRIPTION -- Used great condition Colour postcard from the old Cunard White Star Line vessel the RMS Mauretania which is original and is an early item from this famous liner.
[ONLY 1 AVAILABLE]
CONDITION -- Good
HISTORY -- RMS Mauretania was launched on 28 July 1938 at the Cammell Laird yard in Birkenhead, England, and was completed in May 1939. The second Mauretania was the first ship built for the newly formed Cunard White Star company following the merger in April 1934 of the Cunard and White Star Line. On the withdrawal of the first RMS Mauretania in 1934, to prevent a rival company using the name and to keep it available for the new liner, arrangements were made for the Red Funnel paddle steamer Queen to be renamed Mauretania in the interim.
NOTES -- 1000's of other maritime items are available to buy on the website and many different cruise lines are covered. If you require more information on any of these or those that you do not see, please contact us on sales@travellersintime.net.
