Built for the North Atlantic she was created to regain the fabled Blue Ribband that had been taken from Great Britain by a rapidly expanding and imperially ambitious Germany. Although she and her sistership, <i>Lusitania</i>, did regain the Ribband, speed was only part of the reason of why she had been constructed; rapid conversion into an Armed Merchant Cruiser in time of war was a role never realized as, when war finally came, this Cunard liner became a fast troopship and a hospital ship. After the Armistice, "The Grand Old Lady of the North Atlantic" continued to astound, retaining the Blue Ribband for an amazing 22 years! David Hutching re-examines this legendary ship.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David Hutchings</b> is a shipbuilder and the author of many successful books, including <i>RMS Titanic Owners' Workshop Manua</i>l and <i>The Titanic Story</i>.
