Display base with brass plate engraved `RMS Aquitania, Quadruple Screw Turbine Driven Cunard Liner, length 901ft, breadth 97ft, 5300 tons. Built by John Brown & Co., Clydebank. Model by David Whitty`. The Aquitania was the longest lived of that glamorous breed of ocean greyhounds. Cunard ordered her from John Brown`s Clydebank yards in December 1910 where she was launched on 21st April 1913. Registered upon completion at 45,647 tons gross, she measured 901 feet in length with a 97 foot beam and designed to cruise at 23 knots. Clearing Liverpool on 30th May for her maiden voyage to New York, she was only to complete three round trips before being requisitioned by the government in August 1914 upon the outbreak of the Great War. She began work transporting troops in the spring of 1915 until July 1920 where she returned to regular commercial sailings. Her splendid décor attracted passengers immediately and she became one of the most popular liners on the North Atlantic over the next two decades. In 1939 she was converted into troop transport for the second time in her life for the Second World War and spent the next eight years carrying 300,000 servicemen all over the world. 1948 found her ferrying war brides to Canada prior to being returned to Cunard for yet another post-war `austerity service`. After being refitted and repainted, but never restored to her former magnificence, she maintained a one-class Southampton to Halifax service for a further year and a half before being finally withdrawn in December 1949. The RMS Aquitania was scrapped in the spring of 1950. This saw the end of an era of the majestic `four-stackers`.
