This montage presents Cunard’s RMS Aquitania in colored postcards, emphasizing her magnificent interiors. Britain’s largest ship at her debut in the spring of 1914, the “Ship Beautiful” was famous for her elegant architecture. She also had a long and distinguished career, being the only great liner to sail through both world wars and demobilizations before her retirement in 1950. Rostron commanded her twice in 1927 in relief of her regular master, Sir James Charles.
