Cunard's Royal Mail Ship Lusitania Real Photo Postcard

The S.S. Lusitania, launched in 1906 by the Cunard Line, was a monumental achievement in early 20th-century maritime engineering and luxury. Built by John Brown and Company in Clydebank, Scotland, she was designed to be one of the fastest and largest ocean liners in the world, regularly holding the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing between Europe and North America. Her opulent interiors and advanced steam turbine engines symbolized the pinnacle of an era dedicated to grand transatlantic travel and naval innovation.
