RMS Mauretania Launch from Wallsend in 1906

Posted by Norman Dunn on 4/7/2025, 9:36 am

'Swan Hunter-Whigham Richardson' at Wallsend built the 'Mauretania', the largest and fastest Ocean Liner in the World when she entered service in 1907. She held the Blue Riband for the fastest Atlantic crossings until 1929.
In May 1920 some of my Scottish Dunn family emigrated to the USA from Southampton on the Mauretania.
