| | Tri-ang Minic Ships - RMS Saxonia |
 | | This is the Tri-ang Minic Ships model of RMS Saxonia lead ship of Cunard's four (4) vessel "Saxonia" Class which were designed and built by John Brown and Company to service the St Lawrence Route to Quebec and Montreal replacing all of Cunard's old pre-Second World War vessels such as Scythia, Samaria, and Ascania. |
 | | During summer months RMS Saxonia and RMS Ivernia sailed on the Southampton, Le Havre, Cobh, Quebec, Montreal route while in the winter, when the St Lawrence Seaway is ice bound, they would sail on the Southampton, Le Havre, Cobh, Halifax, New York route. |
 | | By the early 1960's passenger and cargo demand was dwindling and as the numbers became worse Cunard asked John Brown and Company to convert RMS Saxonia and RMS Ivernia for Caribbean cruising. |
