  SS Imperator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SS Imperator, later renamed RMS Berengaria, was the first of a trio of successively larger ocean liners that included the Vaterland and the Bismarck built by the German HAPAG Line for the transatlantic passenger service.
Before her launch on May 23, 1912, in order to make her longer than the RMS Aquitania (which was under construction at the time) she was fitted with large bronze eagle gracing her forepeak with a banner emblazoned with HAPAG's motto Mein Feld ist die Welt (my field is the world).
The Berengaria served as flagship of the Cunard fleet until she was replaced by her sister ship, the RMS Majestic -- originally HAPAG's SS Bismarck -- in 1934.

 RMS Olympic: Another Premature Death? : (2002) by Mark Chirnside - 8 April 2002
In this respect the grandiose pools of the Berengaria and Majestic were certainly superior to the Aquitania and Olympic’s plainer pools, while their public rooms were somewhat grander in size, but the huge variations in accommodation made their facilities hard to compare.
Aquitania, Berengaria and Olympic all made crossings in the region of twenty-two to twenty-three knots, although Olympic has to have been considered slower owing to her higher number of passages at twenty-one knots.
Berengaria needed extensive repairs by February 1930, to rectify considerable wasted plating in her watertight bulkheads dividing the boiler rooms, which were hard to access owing to the boiler layout and masses of pipes; plating was renewed, stiffeners strengthened and doublers fitted.

 Tri-ang Minic Ships - RMS Aquitania
On her completion RMS Aquitania was dubbed the "Ship Beautiful" a reflection of both her perfectly balanced exterior lines and the elegance of her interior which included such features as the two deck high columned Palladian Lounge and the equally sumptuous Jacobean Smoking Room that was modelled on the Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
RMS Aquitania only made a few Atlantic crossings before the outbreak of the First World War when she and her "sisters" were called for military duty as Armed Merchant Cruisers.
RMS Aquitania underwent an extensive refit at John Brown and Company between December 1919 and July 1920 during which time her interior was completely re-furbished and her propulsion systems were converted from coal burning to oil.

 RMS Aquitania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the Twenties Aquitania became one of the most popular liners on the North Atlantic route.
She sailed with the Cunarders Mauretania and Berengaria in a trio that was known as "The Big Three".
As times grew better, Aquitania grew into the role of being one of the most profitable ocean liners in all history.

 SS Imperator / RMS Berengaria
For a while, the ship was used as a trouper for returning American soldiers before being transferred to the British as a reparation for the "Lusitania." The ship became the new flagship of the Cunard Line.
After she had retained her original German name for a series of Atlantic crossings, the British rechristianed her the "Berengaria." She remained one of the most beautiful and most popular liners of her time.
Between 1920 and the entry into service of the Queen Mary in 1936, the Berengaria was the pride of the Cunard fleet.

 VICTORIAN TURKISH BATHS: Ocean liners: RMS Berengaria - - - -
That the RMS Berengaria became the first British ship to offer its passengers a Turkish bath on board was due properly to its origins as the German-built Imperator.
Mason left the Berengaria in 1936 to run the Turkish bath on the new Cunard Queen Mary.
Much to his dismay, Dempsey was not immediately allowed to accompany him, but the person appointed proved unsatisfactory and after a few return voyages, Mason asked for Dempsey to be allowed to become his new assistant.

Having miraculously evaded thieves and sticky-fingered immigration officials, they were cut loose from their swaddling and spilled onto a table in Queens.
