Description

This model of Cunard Line steamer RMS Mauretania at the London Science Museum identifies her as T.S. Mauretania, referring to the four Parsons steam turbines that put out a total of 90,000 horsepower and helped the 32,000-ton ocean liner reach speeds of 24 knots and hold the Blue Riband transatlantic speed record from 1907 to 1929.  Though she survived the First World War, which had claimed her sister RMS Lusitania, RMS Mauretania was retired in 1934 and scrapped in 1935, a casualty of advances in marine engineering.  The next RMS Mauretania, which sailed from 1939 to 1965, was larger and more sophisticated, but was slower than her predecessor.
