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

    Did part of this ship interior end up in a Northumberland pub when it was broken up?? I'm probably way off mind!
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    It's possible... Parts of the engine room controls in this photo www.flickr.com/photos/twm_news/5621049717/in/photostream/ became part of the collection at Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums when Mauretania was dismantled,so it may be that the pub did have sections of it.

    I'm sure it was a hotel or pub in the Alnwick area - too far for me to do a pub crawl. ;)

    You are nearly right.....the White Swan Hotel in Alnwick has a whole dining room from the Olympic (sister ship of the Titanic) which was rescued when she was broken up at Blyth. A few years ago a whole barn full of artefacts was discovered at Buston (nr Alnwick) and there is more in a pub in Derbyshire....so there are bits of the Olympic everywhere!

    cigcardpix The power of the internet!! I knew there were local connections like that. I was a bit off mind....
