INSIDE THE QE2 (1)











This is a magnificent reproduction model of the Mauretania outside the Caronia Restaurant on the Quarter Deck.

The RMS Mauretania ("Maury") was an ocean liner built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, and was launched on 20 September 1906.

At the time, she was the largest and fastest ship in the world.
