Book about fate of Mauretania's relics

[Stuart Kelly]

Hi,

I saw in an academic library catalogue last year, an entry for a book that gave a lot of detail of the current whereabouts of Mauretania's relics. I had been published in the 2000s and the synopsis gave a large number sites and the author clearly had done a lot of research.

Do any of you know which book I'm talking about and if so, how to obtain a copy of it. I've searched google and amazon to no avail.

Thanks,

Stuart

Hi Stuart, I think the book you refer to is "Mauretania: Triumph and Resurrection" by Peter Newall. The final third of this book is devoted to the whereabouts of various artifacts and decor salvaged from Mauretania when she was scrapped. There are several copies listed on abebooks.com.

Thanks Russell, you're right. I've ordered a copy this evening!

Thanks Peter for writing your wonderful book. I enjoyed it thoroughly and it must have taken you a lot of time and dedication to uncover so much of the relics of the great ship.
