In a continuation of Cunard month here at CruiseInd, we will now be featuring a series of videos that some of the top maritime content creators have recently published.
Jamie at the channel Old Shipping Lines recently published this fantastic video that goes over the RMS Mauretania (1938). This is a separate ship than the previously covered Mauretania that was built in 1908.
A quick summary of the vessel from Wikipedia:
RMS Mauretania was a British ocean liner that was launched on 28 July 1938 at the Cammell Laird yard in Birkenhead, England, and was completed in May 1939. She was one of the first ships built for the newly formed Cunard-White Star company following the merger in April 1934 of the Cunard and White Star Line. On the withdrawal of the first Mauretania in 1935, to prevent a rival company using the name and to keep it available for the new liner, arrangements were made for the Red Funnel paddle steamer Queen to be renamed Mauretania in the interim.
