As promised here are the details of my new book on Mauretania:
The fascinating story of an exceptional ship
MAURETANIA: TRIUMPH AND RESURRECTION
Peter Newall
This unusual book celebrates the 100th anniversary of Mauretania, one of the most famous liners ever built. A lucky ship, she held the transatlantic Blue Riband record for twenty-two years. Despite being scrapped in 1936, many of her magnificent interiors are still scattered around England. In fact, no other demolished liner of the past has so much material still on view.
‘Mauretania: Triumph and Resurrection’ tells the history of Mauretania, from concept, design and building to service in peace and war. The story continues way beyond the scrapping of this great ship, and tells what happened to many of the pieces, which were sold at auction and stripped out of the ship before demolition. The book also includes a tour of the ship, using plans and photographs. Well-known author Peter Newall has not only researched and written the full story of Mauretania’s life and times, but has also unearthed many of her fixtures and fittings.
This attractive 140-page A4 softback, including a four-page fold-out cutaway plan, is beautifully illustrated, with 98 colour and 240 black and white and sepia images of the ship at all stages of her career, and of her surviving fixtures and fittings.
‘Mauretania: Triumph and Resurrection’ is available at £19.50 plus £2.00 postage. Orders to J. & M. Clarkson, 18 Franklands, Longton, Preston PR4 5PD, UK or e-mail: [email protected]
A limited number of hardback copies will be available subject to demand.
