EDITORS COMMENTS
This cross-section diagram of the iconic ocean liner RMS Mauretania, created by renowned marine artist and engineer George Horace Davis in 1927, offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate design and complex inner workings of this magnificent vessel. At the time, Mauretania held the prestigious title as the fastest ship on the Atlantic, with an impressive average speed of 26.25 knots. The diagram reveals the meticulous planning and engineering that went into creating a ship capable of such speed and luxury. The upper decks are dedicated to passenger facilities, including elegant lounges, dining rooms, and cabins. The lower decks house the ship's engineering spaces, including the engine rooms, boiler rooms, and the coal bunkers. The cargo holds, located towards the bottom of the diagram, were used to transport goods across the Atlantic. One unique feature of the Mauretania, highlighted in the diagram, is the ship's hospital. This state-of-the-art medical facility provided essential healthcare services to passengers and crew, ensuring their wellbeing during the transatlantic voyage. The attention to detail in this diagram is truly remarkable, with each component labeled and carefully placed to illustrate the harmony between form and function. The RMS Mauretania's groundbreaking design and record-breaking speed made it a symbol of progress and innovation in the early 20th century. This cross-section diagram serves as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its creators and the enduring allure of ocean liners as symbols of transport and luxury.
