RMS MAURETANIA ocean liner model

RMS Mauretania was launched on September 20, 1906 to become the largest ship in the world. Particularly notable was her steam turbine propulsion, which was a revolutionary development in ocean liner design.

The RMA Mauretania left Liverpool on her maiden voyage on November 16 th, 1907.  Later that month she captured the record for the fastest eastbound crossing of the Atlantic.

Only 22 months later, in September, 1909, the RMS Mauretania captured the Blue Riband for the fastest westbound crossing - a record that was to stand for more than 20 years (broken by the German ocean liner Bremen in 1929.)

The RMS Mauretania (along with her near-twin sister, RMS Lusitania) were the only ships with direct-drive steam turbines to hold the Blue Riband, later ships had reduction-geared turbines.

In September 1934, Cunard withdrew the RMS Mauretania from service following a final eastward crossing from New York to Southampton. In July, 1935, the great RMS Mauretania sadly headed for the breaker's yard at Rosyth.

 

Note that the photos above show a model that was our fourth-generation ocean liner model. When you order a new one, it will be fifth-generation which started in 2018. Numerous examples of 5th-generation models can be found on our Web site such as the SS Bremen.

This primarily wood RMS Mauretania model features:

- Plank-on-frame hull

- Windows and portholes are cutouts (not black decals or indentation) which are clean, uniform, and aligned. We are not shy to show the model in large photos. Nothing to hide!

27" long x 10" tall  (1/350 scale)  $2,990  Shipping and insurance in the USA included. Other countries $300 flat rate.

47.5" long  x 15" tall (1/200 scale) $4,950  Shipping and insurance in the USA included. Other countries $500 flat rate.

66" long x 22" tall (1/144 scale)  $7,550 Shipping and insurance in the USA included. Other countries $700 flat rate.

Lighting feature is included.  A ship is not an ocean liner without beautiful lighting. LED light powered by standard 9v battery for your convenience. Our model has realistic and beautiful lighting, including navigation light. Cheap model makers neither care nor able to keep up with our artistry and and engineering ability.

Model is built per commission only. We require only a small deposit (not full amount, not even half) to start the process $500  The remaining balance won't be due until the boat is completed, in several months.

Don't be fooled by some model makers out there who freely claim their models "museum quality" or even "true museum quality. Their ships are wrong on many counts. The hull is horrible. Some parts are oversized yet others undersized. Plenty are wrong; Many are missing.  Go here to learn more: how to choose a model ship.
