Book excerpt: The story of the elegant Aquitania 'the ship beautiful', told through rare and unusual imagery RMS Aquitania was in service for decades, and was very much beloved. The third in Cunard Line's 'grand trio' of express liners, running mate of the lost Lusitania and the legendary Mauretania (1907), Aquitania was the last surviving four-funneled ocean liner. Aquitania was pressed into service during both world wars and was one of the longest serving passenger liners of the twentieth century. She was also one of the most elegant, nicknamed the 'ship beautiful'. Maritime authors J. Kent Layton and Tad Fitch have collaborated to put together the most evocative and exciting collection of rare and unusual imagery relating to this historic vessel ever shown.

Book excerpt: She entered service two months before the start of World War I, was scrapped six years after World War II ended, and was the longest lasting of all four funnelled liners. For two wars, she spent much time transporting troops but for the rest of her career she traveled the North Atlantic as one of the most famous liners afloat. Holding many records, Aquitania was built for the Cunard Line, not for speed but for luxury, at which she excelled, being called the Ship Magnificent from her entry into service. Mark Chirnside writes with a passion about this most beautiful of ships, a ship that was the epitome of the four-funnelled liner.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This copiously illustrated book considers much more than its title suggests, beginning with a major section focusing on the history of the Cunard Line and their ships starting with Britannia (1840), Great Britain (1845) and the leadership of Samuel Cunard. Next, the loss of the Lusitania, which shocked the world, is examined and the Inquiry which followed. Other Cunarders such as the Aquitania and Mauretania are featured and then more modern liners: Queen Mary (1936), Queen Elizabeth (1940), and Queen Elizabeth 2 or QE2 (1969). Other famous disasters at sea are reviewed: the sinking of the Empress of Ireland (1906), due to a collision in May 1914 which led to an official inquiry, the fire on the Normandie (1932) which caused the ship to turn over in its dock in February 1942 and the sinking of the Andrea Doria (1951) in July 1956. The SS Great Britain (1843) is examined followed by three sets of ship and liner cigarette cards and eleven Appendices.

Download or read book The Age of Cunard written by Daniel Allen Butler and published by ProStar Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a century and a half, the single most important sea lane in the world was the transatlantic route linking the Old World with the New. For three hundred years, sailing ships sufficed to carry cargoes and people, but the demands of Steam Age business and commerce demanded more regularity. Just as the steam engine had allowed railroads to replace the unpredictability of stagecoaches on land with dependable schedules, steamships promised to bring this reliability to crossing the Atlantic. This is where the story of the Cunard Line began. The greatest influence Cunard would ever have on world events would be the leading role during the last half of the 19th century, when the great migration of millions of emigrants transformed the populations of Europe, the United States, and Canada. Wars devastation came to the Cunard Line with WW1 and WW2, as the power of the German submarine fleet -- built with one purpose in mind, to sever the North Atlantic shipping lanes -- threatened Great Britains very existence. By 1963, more people chose to travel by airplane than by steamship -- and it was the beginning of the end. Sir Winston Churchill observed, "You came into great things by the accident of sea power... By an accident of air power, you will probably cease to exist."
