No, these where the two that caused White star to build the Olympic class Trio. There was the Aquitania , but that didn't really count

Hello,

The Aquitania was a 'near sister' although it depends on your opinion when you consider that the Aquitania was much larger, more luxurious and a little slower. White Star did respond to the Lusitania and Mauretania, but the fact that they were part of the reason for the construction of the 'Olympics' and that they had a later sister -- Aquitania (1914) are not mutually exclusive.

Best wishes,

Mark.

The Mauretania will long be remembered as a legend. Indeed a legend among those who knew her renown and acclaim as the largest, the fastest, and the most opulent liner of her time, but history will record the Mauretania as one of the most enduring symbols of reliability on the North Atlantic

Ive never considered aquitania as a true sister, because i only remember the bond between the Lusitania and Mauretania which couldn't be undone

Hi Johno,

Yes, it's a matter of much debate as to Aquitania's status. It depends on your view.

Best wishes,

Mark.

Hi Johno,

Thanks, but I thought you were talking about the Aquitania in your post immediately above my last, when you said you did not consider her a true sister in light of the 'bond' between Lusitania and Mauretania? I was a little puzzled when you now say that you 'totally forgot' about Aquitania.

Best wishes,

Mark.
