Hi All,
This is my 735TH post at ET - 735 being the hull number of my beloved Mauretania. I have enjoyed joining the various discussions, adding what I could and making new friends here. I know I promised I'd make something really neat for this post, but my health has been bad these last few days and this is the best I could do with some images I already had scanned. A set of rather perfect "bookend" images, looking forward from 1907 and 1931. The first, published only once in color, may very well be true color, the second is shown here for the first time and it is remarkable to find such a match of angle for this type of comparison. The Mauretania threads have been very quiet for some time - perhaps someone has a photograph or two they'd like to share? I know I'd like to see some! In any event, enjoy!
R.M.S. Mauretania 1907 & 1931
Best wishes,
Eric
