RMS MAURETANIA ocean liner model

RMS Mauretania was launched on September 20, 1906 to become the largest ship in the world. Particularly notable was her steam turbine propulsion, which was a revolutionary development in ocean liner design.

RMS Mauretania left Liverpool on her maiden voyage on November 16 th, 1907. Later that month she captured the record for the fastest eastbound crossing of the Atlantic.
 

Only 22 months later, in September, 1909, the RMS Mauretania captured the Blue Riband for the fastest westbound crossing - a record that was to stand for more than 20 years (broken by the German ocean liner Bremen in 1929.)

The RMS Mauretania, along with her near-twin sister, RMS Lusitania, were the only ships with direct-drive steam turbines to hold the Blue Riband, later ships had reduction-geared turbines.

In September 1934, Cunard withdrew the RMS Mauretania from service following a final eastward crossing from New York to Southampton. In July, 1935, the great RMS Mauretania sadly headed for the breaker's yard at Rosyth.
 

This primarily wood RMS Mauretania model features:

- Plank-on-frame hull

- Windows and portholes are cutouts (not black decals or indentation) which are clean, uniform, and aligned.

- Captivating lighting, with and green/red navigation light that will light up your special evenings. LED light powered by standard 9v battery for your convenience. A ship is not a cruise ship without beautiful lighting.
