This book rectifies that problem. Although this book is advertised as a photographic history, J. Kent Layton provides an in-depth look at the ship from design and inception to scrapping. Far from being a coffee table book, this a pretty substantial history which covers the many ups and downs of her 28-year career, from records won and lost, fires, storms, and collisions, to the Gilded Age and the Great Depression.The photographs, of course, are the highlight of this book. There are more than 250, most of which are of excellent quality, and rich with little details. These range from photographs of the ship fitting out, in harbor, and at sea, candid photos taken by passengers, images of her interiors, programs for shipboard events, and a number of period postcards and posters. Many came from private collections, and are shown here for the first time. The captions are quite informative, and worth reading by themselves. Some photographs a little out of focus, or of poor quality, but nonetheless have some historic value.The Mauretania, for me at least, remains THE iconic British liner of the 1900s, and this book is a fine tribute. If I have one issue, it's that there are only a couple pictures of the ship under construction. I'm a bit of a naval architecture geek, and I love seeing shots of shipyards "in action." That aside, this deserves to be on the shelf of any serious ocean liner buff. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a great trip! *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2018* A very good book. I loved it. Many fine photos including those of other great ships which is always welcome. The text was well written and not too much of it to be a problem. The cover opens to a grand adventure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A superb biography of possibly the greatest Atlantic liner of all time *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2017* A superb biography of possibly the greatest Atlantic liner of all time. Coupled with brilliant photographs as always providing very possibly the best Mauretainia lifetime history's yet written. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/18895569-the-unseen-mauretania-1907-the-ship-in-rare-illustrations](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/18895569-the-unseen-mauretania-1907-the-ship-in-rare-illustrations) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
