Old Photograph The Mauretania Rosyth Fife Scotland

Old photograph of The Mauretania ocean liner in the Firth of Forth near Rosyth, Fife, Scotland. En route to Rosyth Mauretania stopped at her birthplace the Tyne for half an hour, where she drew crowds of sightseers and was boarded by the Lord Mayor of Newcastle. The mayor bade her farewell from the people of Newcastle, and her last captain, A. T. Brown, then resumed his course for Rosyth. With masts cut down to fit, the ship passed under the Forth Bridge and was delivered to the breakers.
