Hi Lucy,

that vid clip from Youtube is about as close as I expect to get!

Best,

If I could go back in time I would find a way to buy the old girl (and Olympic) and save her for posterity. It would be great to have a genuine 4 stacker to explore today.

First, let me introduce myself. I am also a Mauretania fan. Even though I live in NZ, I have several postcards and other memontoes, and she is my alltime favourite ship. Maybe one day, someone will do a virtual exploration of these ships.

Hi Eric,

Yes, thanks for reminding us of this sad anniversary. I have been reflecting on her passing the East Coast 74 years ago...

Regards,

Lucy
