Mauritania's Chief Engineer and Other Gentlemen
Standing beneath the colossal stern of the RMS Mauretania, a marvel of Edwardian engineering, the ship’s chief engineer and his fellow gentlemen pose for this dramatic and awe-inspiring photograph. Towering above them are the ship’s massive propellers and rudder, a visual testament to the power and ambition of early 20th-century transatlantic travel.
Constructed by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson, the Mauretania held the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic crossing for over two decades. This dry dock scene in Liverpool, captured shortly after her launch, reflects the pride and precision behind one of Britain’s greatest maritime achievements.
🛳️ A silent salute to the engineers, builders, and visionaries who powered an era of oceanic grandeur.
