Large, lavish and record-breaking, RMS Mauretania remains one of the most remarkable ships ever built. She was to be the fastest and the most beautiful – with six huge turbines and interiors designed and created by the most fashionable of architects – but she would soon find herself pressed into service in the Great War.
From the ships that inspired her build to her very final journey, Illustrated Mauretania (1907) fills in the gaps in the Mauretania’s established literature. Through fifteen episodes, with over 200 images between them, acclaimed maritime historian David F. Hutchings explores the life and times of ‘The Grand Old Lady of the North Atlantic’.
DAVID F. HUTCHINGS’ lifetime love of ships has shaped his life as a shipbuilder and writer. He has written many successful books, including RMS Mauretania (1907): Queen of the Ocean for The History Press, a Hayne's manual for the Titanic, and is a member of The World Ship Society, the Ocean Liner Society, Solent Maritime Society, British Titanic Society, and Titanic International. He has contributed to magazines and DVDs, and regularly lectures on cruise ships. He lives in Lee-on-The Solent, Hampshire.
