	RMS Britannia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The RMS Britannia was an ocean liner of the British Cunard Steamship Lines.
		Launched in 1840, the ship and its sisters, Acadia, Caledonia, and Columbia, were the first four Cunard ocean liners.
		The Britannia was a small ship, about 230 feet long, and was relatively fast for the time at 8.5 knots.

	Cunard Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cunard Line formerly Cunard White Star Line is the British cruise line that operates the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) and RMS Queen Mary 2 (QM2) ocean liners.
		In 1840 the company's first steamship, the Britannia, sailed from Liverpool to Boston, marking the beginning of the first ever regular passenger and cargo service by steamship.
		In 2004 the "QE2's" service was limited to world cruises and her transatlantic route was taken over by the new liner RMS Queen Mary 2, the first ocean liner to be built in 30 years and the largest passenger liner ever built.

		The jubilant and triumphant launch of RMS Queen Mary on 26 September 1934 by Her Majesty Queen Mary signified the end of the depression that had gripped the world and the British Empire, and provided a firm re-assertion that Britannia had the finest merchant fleet in the world.
		For three decades thereafter, RMS Queen Mary would rule the Atlantic, surviving the perils of a world war, ultimately creating a legacy that led to her being called the stateliest liner afloat.
		Elegantly capturing the artistic flair of the Art Deco period, RMS Queen Mary had a subtle grace and charm that exuded an aura of sophistication and class that would never again be duplicated.

		The voyage on RMS Britannia — which, depending on the weather, might have been spent ankle-deep in water — was taken up with bridge, strolling on deck, polite conversation, and looking at the night sky.

		The Britannia was launched on 7 February 1840 and set off on its maiden crossing of the Atlantic on 4 July 1840 with Samuel Cunard himself aboard.
		By 1907, the passenger trade had evolved from the spartan Britannia, which a Charles Dickens had called on its maiden voyage a 'hearse with windows', to large, spacious vessels that catered for unheard-of luxuries at sea.
		She was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat to the north of Rathlin Island lighthouse with the loss of seven.
