  Thank you TWAM, another cracker of a old black and white shot that is much appreciated here.

• Greg Bishop said:

  "(1935) The demise of the beloved Mauretania was protested by many of her loyal passengers, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt who wrote a private letter arguing against the scrapping". Thank-you very much for providing this look at a magnificent ship.

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  You're welcome. Great piece of information, Konabish. Where's it taken from?

• Greg Bishop said:

  To the ship breakers On the route to Rosyth, Mauretania stopped at her birthplace the Tyne for half an hour, where she drew crowds of sightseers and was boarded by the Lord Mayor of Newcastle. The mayor bid her farewell from the people of Newcastle, and her last captain, A.T. Brown, then resumed his course for Rosyth. With masts cut down to fit, the ship passed under the Forth Bridge and was delivered to the breakers. The demise of the beloved Mauretania was protested by many of her loyal passengers, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt who wrote a private letter arguing against the scrapping. www.peekarica.com/steampedia/index.php?title=RMS_Mauretania I've seen those sad and lasting words quoted numerous times.

  Thank you for this great old picture TWAM. Is'nt it a crying shame that England and especially Newcastle shipbuilders are'nt still building ships of quality. I don't care WHAT the reasons for the demise of English shipbuilding were, it's a crying shame!
