Ahoy Mates!

A short while back we published Jim Baumann's Feature article, "Building the R.M.S. Mauretania, (1907-1935)" which contains much research attributed to Historian (and MSW Crew-mate), Eric Longo.

Eric has now written a very interesting additional piece entitled, "Farewell to the Tyne", which features information and many images that have not been previously published until this date of writing, on the subject of the Mauretania.

Take a journey over by clicking the link below, for a very informative and interesting read about this glorious liner...
