Ocean Liner


It was the RMS Aquitania, a sister ship of the Lusitania. Built by Cunard to compete in terms of luxury with the Titanic.

It was hard to make out the ship's name on the side of the hull. At first I actually thought it was the "Lusitania," but knowing that the "Lusitania" had been sunk in WWI a few years prior to this film being made, I realized that it was another ship with a similar name. Only after pausing the image at just the right point did I discern "Aquitania." Truly a remarkable ship, that saw service in both World Wars:

Picture of Aquitania shown by way of link provided shows smoke coming out of FOUR stacks. Most of us are familiar with Titanic and know it used only three stacks with fourth stack as a vent to the galley. Was Aquitania similarly designed?
