Description
An inspection of the midship framing forming the hull of the Cunard luxury liner Aquitania, under construction at the Clydebank shipyard owned by John Brown & Company. The Aquitania took three years to build and was launched in 1914 weighing 45,647 gross tons. The last of the Atlantic four-stackers, she went on to become the longest-serving ship this century, retiring after 35 years of service which included war duty as an armed merchant cruiser, a troopship and a hospital.
