 Ships of State: RMS Mauretania
It was on a fair September day in 1906 that the Mauretania was launched into the River Tyne, amid the cheer and jubilation of the Tyneside craftsmen whose skill and labor were borne into what was then the largest and most modern passenger vessel in the world.
The Mauretania was, in fact as well as fancy, to be revolutionary in that it would be the very first passenger vessel to be fitted with the new steam turbine engine, developed by engineering genius Charles Parsons.
As the Mauretania left the Ways and slipped into the waters of the Tyne, she was guided by six tugs to the nearby fitting-out basin where work would commence on the erection of her superstructure, funnels, and fitting-out of her luxurious interiors.

Reigning as the worlds fastest liner from 1907 to 1929, she was 790 feet long, 88 feet wide, and powered by steam turbines, quadruple screw.
Due to the rapid response of Captain Daniel Dow and Mauretania's sharp maneuverability, she was able to dodge an oncoming torpedo and withdraw rapidly from the area.
In the end, her masts cut down and white hull streaked with rust, she left Southampton surrounded by mournful crowds and headed towards the Firth of Forth, towards the breaker's yard, where her engines were stopped for the last time, and the scrapping process initialized.

I currently have a First Class saucer in the blue/yellow/red pastel pattern which originated from the RMS Mauretania and a Second Class blue-floral pattern 9.5" plate which came from her second class onboard service.
My question to anyone who may know is that I have a napkin ring engraved with the Lusitania's name and Cunard flag with rampant lion on the front.
I am currently assuming it was only used on the earlier ships since that is what I was told and it just survived time better than the other.
