Zeppelins I saw the people climbing up the street Maddened with war and strength and thoughts to kill; And after followed Death, who held with skill His torn rags royally, and stamped his feet. The fires flamed up and burnt the serried town, Most where the sadder, poorer houses were; Death...

I've been to a flea market and going thru some old b/w pics, prescriptions etc., and this envelope of The Cunard Steam-Ship Company caught my attention. The Cunard was founded in 1840 under a different (longer) name and it was The Cunard Steam Ship Company Ltd. from 1879 until 1934. so I...

Back in the day, Cunard ships also included amateur "ham" radio equipment, and any licensed amateur radio operator could operate the amateur radio equipment upon showing their government-issued license. Queen Mary 1 has the station onboard and it was operational until the ship was closed to the...

Where do you think would be a good place to preserve the Cunard Princess as a hotel and museum ship. I feel that possible locations include Bahrain, Tilbury, Copenhagen, and the Canary Wharf area of London. I feel that the ship should be preserved as a hotel and museum ship rather than as as an...

Hello! So I've actually been doing a lot of research and such on this infamous Shipping company for a while now - no particular reason, just curious!

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...

Hi Has any one any links or photos to interior of the Cunard Building on 25th Broadway after it was completed ,or before it was handed over to the post office in the late 70,s? Any plans or drawings would be a help. Thanks

So if the Titanic was still afloat (albeit badly damaged) when Rostron got there, would/could Rostron have cordoned off the area with buoys and claimed Salvage rights on behalf of Cunard once everyone was off board? Then when he got to NY could've coaled up the Capathia, grabbed some other...
