aquitania

Hello. I was looking at some mention of Aquitania's public rooms on Wikipedia and it looks as though this was one of the first ships to have a gym for second class passengers. I was wondering if anyone here knew the extent of special facilities that Aquitania offered all of it's passengers when...

So, I somehow managed to find these plans of Aquitania since I was trying to find these to see the history of the ship or start some sort of simulation, i guess. https://f-old.a0z.ru/8f/57/8f57cb7bc46db80419925c6fde682fc5.gif https://f-old.a0z.ru/47/2e/472ea2680b9cc2a7a971f064224f93f8.gif...

Good afternoon!! I´ve been interested on RMS Aquitania for many years, and especially the past few months. Because of her appareance, her long life, her interiors... I don´t know exactly why, but she is has become one of my favourite ships:D. In particular, I´m really interested in her 1948-1949...

Hello all, I'm a new member here - with a question. I am researching for a book about the early steamships of the CPR - namely the Empress of Asia and Empress of Russia. Both featured public rooms designed by George A. Crawley, a curious "amateur architect" with no formal training, thus no...

I've noticed in most of the footage of both Mauretania and Aquitania, their decks seem to be cluttered with a myriad of horn shaped pipes, as opposed to other liners (the Olympic-class for example only had a few of these pipes on deck) is there a particular reason Mauretania and Aquitania had so...

Hello everyone, This will not be a thread directed to Titanic specifically, but one can quickly realise it's from a common related subject. So, I have found this video: It's a propaganda newsreel about the safety features of the Aquitania in the 1920's. In regard to the lifeboats, it claims...

Does anybody know the manufacturer that made the davits for Lusitania, Aquitania etc.?

Hey guys, Got a couple questions regarding Cunard's RMS Aquitania. 1. How far along was Aquitania's construction the day that Titanic sank? By looking at the timeline of her contruction, I think that the builders were probably in the process of plating the hull. Can someone shine a light on...

RMS Aquitania-civilian scheme of 1914 HMHS Aquitania - hospital ship version of 1916

This drawing show the starboard profile of the mighty Cunard Liner RMS Aquitania of 1914. Maybe some parts of it are not really accurate, but that's the best I could do with the (few)sources found on Internet. A lot of thanks to Mark Chirnside for all the useful informations found on his book...

at 12 noon on 29 July, 1915 the 5th batallion of the Norfolk regiment embarked on the SS Aquitania at Liverpool in company with thousands of other troops including the 4th Norfolks. They were bound for Mudros and the Dardenelles. From The Vanished Battalion by Nigel McCrery, pub Simon and...

I got my copy of Mark's new book yesterday, on Aquitania, called The Ship Beautiful. As Mark is a member of this board, I don't think he'll mind me crowing about it. I ended staying up about 2 hours later than I normally do reading it. It's a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it to...

I colored a sepia tinted photo of it.

I wanted to thank everyone who has expressed an interest in my work, and the upcoming Aquitania book. As far as I am aware, we are still on course for a February publication date. It shares the same format as the Majestic book - heavily illustrated with a number of colour images (even more...

It is well-known that Aquitania had a new wheelhouse built one deck higher during WW1, but has anyone else noticed that this structure was significantly expanded during her WW2 service? Prior to the expansion, there were only 6 windows, but it was widened to about the width of the original...

I recently stumbled upon this video of Aquitania on Youtube. It has some very nice color film of her on the way to the breakers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xMZ5ioAsnA

i was looking at norwayheritge.com about the aquitania and it stated that the steam was provided at 195 psi and that it went to one high pressure outboard turbine, then the steam was released at intermediate pressure and sent to an intermediate pressure outboard turbine and then the now low...

I received the following inquiry from a Great Ships reader. I don't know the answer, but thought someone here might. Anyone know?

Hi, I'm a new member in Atlanta in the USA. Wondering if anyone can provide information on the large Aquitania poster/print pictured here. I bought it approximately 45 years ago in an antique shop in Connecticut, about 2 hours from New York City. I was a teenager and talked my...
