Hi,
There are two records to consider - East and West. The Mauretania first took the Eastbound from Lusitania in 1907, and held solid the Westbound from 1909 to July of 1929 - losing it by small margin to the NDL Bremen. Mauretania could not have won in July '07 as her second trials and maiden voyage did not take place until November of that year (she was launched 9/20/06).
Best,
