This heavy volume never circulated; there is no card pocket or circulation slip. One of the most interesting and consequential volumes of this standard publication covering the world's engineering achievements during the first decade of the twentieth century. During the second half of 1906 the huge Cunard turbine-powered ocean liners "Lusitania" and "Mauretania" were built separately and first launched for their respective sea trials. The richly detailed accounts here in "Engineering" coincide with the maiden voyages of the two ships. Each was at its time of launching the largest and most powerful vessel the world had yet seen. Each also took the "Blue Riband" -- the informal but highly prized award for the fastest Atlantic crossing by a passenger liner. Cunard was under pressure at the time these two ships were designed and built. The German firms German Norddeutscher Lloyd NDL and Hamburg America Line HAPAG had each built ships larger faster and more luxurious ships than Cunard's flag ships. The American financier J. P. Morgan entered the liner business by forming a trust IMM consisting of Frederick Leyland Ltd. -- which he bought outright and his controlling interest in the British White Star Line. Additionally Morgan made an attempt to purchase Cunard as well. Cunard hoped to regain their position atop the Atlantic liner trade and struck a deal with the British government. In June 1903 Cunard obtained a loan of £2.6 million to finance two ships -- a 20-year loan at a rate of 2.75% . The proposed Cunard ships would receive an annual government operating subsidy of £75 000 each plus a mail contract worth £68 000. The only catch was that the ships were required to be built to Admiralty specifications -- implying that they might potentially serve as auxiliary cruisers in a time of war. The massive task of building these two ships was so complex and demanding that the two commissions were awarded to two different firms. "Lusitania" was designed by Leonard Peskett and built by John Brown and Company of Clydebank Scotland. Its vast size required that the shipyard be reorganized in order that "Lusitania" might be launched diagonally across the widest possible part of the river Clyde where it met a tributary. The Clyde itself was too narrow to accomodate the 786 foot length of "Lusitania. " Even considering this creative diagonal launching undertaking the commission required that John Brown spend £8 000 to dredge the Clyde £18 000 to extend the dock plus £19 000 for a new crane capable of lifting 150 tons etc. Photographs and detailed textual descriptions of all aspects are included in this volume. The texts published here were timed to coincide with the respective maiden voyages: 'Lusitania' was put into Atlantic service July 7 1907; 'Mautiania' followed at the end of 1908 on November 16. Like "Lusitania " "Mauretania was designed by Leonard Peskett but was built by the firm of John Wigham Richardson Swan Hunter in Northumberland England. Upon launch "Mauretania" was the largest moving structure ever built -- slightly larger in gross tonnage than Lusitania. She was also about five feet longer than her sister Cunard ship.
