An evocative visual history of the legendary liner known as the “greyhound of the Atlantic” When she took to the rugged North Atlantic for the first time in November of 1907, the Cunard company’s Mauretania was the world’s largest and most luxurious ocean liner.

Language: EnglishPages: 402 (8 Color and 17 B/W Illustrations)About the AuthorJeffrey S. Lidke is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Berry College in Rome, Georgia. He earned his doctorate in Sanskrit and South Asian Religions from the University of California, Santa Barbara, under the tutelage of David Gordon White, Gerald James Larson, Ninian Smart and Barbara Holdrege.
