RMS Mauretania in New York: A Vintage Sight of Elegance and Grandeur This vintage image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to the bustling waters of New York Harbor. The RMS Mauretania, a magnificent ocean liner of the Cunard Line, graces the scene with her regal presence. Built in 1907, the RMS Mauretania was the fastest and most luxurious ship of her time. Known as the 'Greyhound of the Seas,' she held the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing for over two decades. In this photograph, she is seen docked in New York, a common stop on her transatlantic voyages between Europe and America. The image is filled with the essence of the Edwardian era, with the RMS Mauretania's ornate details, from her intricate ironwork to her elegant funnels, standing out against the backdrop of the city skyline. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, captures the ship's grandeur and the vibrant energy of the bustling port. As the sun sets over the harbor, the RMS Mauretania casts a warm glow over the water, reflecting the golden hues of the evening sky. Passengers, dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, can be seen milling about the deck, eager to disembark and explore the wonders of America. This photograph is a testament to the romance and adventure of ocean travel during the early 1900s, a time when crossing the Atlantic was an exciting and transformative experience for many. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of maritime travel and the enduring allure of the sea.
