After an auction in to sell all fittings and furnishings, Mauretania was removed from Berth 108 and travelled North to Rosyth, Scotland to be dismantled. She left Southampton on July 1st and arrived at Rosyth on July 4th. Her last turn was to port after passing under the Firth of Forth Railway Bridge, for which her masts had been shortened (although she still proudly flew a Blue Ribband from her aft mast). She was scrapped in part at least by the Hughes Bolckow Shipbreaking Company LTD. in Blyth, Northumberland in 1935-36.
A number of souvenirs were produced from her metal and wood.
There is the Mauretania Pub in Bristol, and there is also a hotel - in St. Louis I think - that has a good deal of woodwork from her public rooms.
Best,
Eric
