Summary:
Built for the North Atlantic, the
Mauretania
was created to regain the fabled Blue Ribband that had been taken from Great Britain by a rapidly expanding and imperially ambitious Germany. Although she and her sister
ship
, the Lusitania, did regain the Ribband, speed was only part of the reason of why she had been constructed; rapid conversion into an armed merchant cruiser in time of war was a role never realised as, when war finally came, this Cunard liner became a fast troop
ship
and a hospital
ship
. This well-researched book tells the fascinating story of the
Mauretania
.
