The year is 1939, and a sense of excitement fills the air as crowds gather eagerly along the riverbank. Their eyes are fixed on the horizon, hoping for a glimpse of the majestic RMS Mauretania. Designed by Leonard Peskett and crafted by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, this ocean liner stands as a testament to British engineering prowess. Operated by the renowned Cunard Line, it represents an era when transatlantic travel was both glamorous and prestigious.
