What an amazing sight as the brand new Olympic makes her grand entrance in New York after her maiden voyage the Lusitania (easily recognised by her funnels and ventilators) passes astern.

... I downloaded the larger TIFF version of this image ...you can see in that image how the passengers on the Olympic have turned to watch the Lusitania passing astern...amazing detail in the full size image!

aha she was a sister ship to the Titanic and some of here interior trim is still in use in english buildings my grandfather went to war on this ship he always joked that the titanic took him to france but we realised his joke many years later when we grew up he said when he saw the name of the ship he knew he was in trouble but he survived just as well he was not old enough to have been their its a wonder my great grandmother never sued the kaiser

The presence of service ribbons on the older gents, and the lack of them on the younger, seem to place this photo much later that the 1910s. My guess is that this was taken not long before WW2, or maybe closer to the mid '30s.

James Christensen Thank you Primeval Nature, you are exactly right. It was taken at the vessel's inaugural voyage from Auckland to Sydney in September 1936. I'll be putting a set together with all our AWATEA photographs which really displays the 1930s glamour associated with the vessel. There are more photos to come as well. beachcomber australia you beat me to it, tagging the pic! :)

What does QSPS stand for? My Googling has failed to enlighten me and I've always seen the ship referred to as RMS Mauretania.
