That's a fair point, and there is some evidence to support that.

Best wishes,

Mark.

See that impetator mentioned earlier, is that not the same ship cunard called Berengaria, or something like that? And is it true that the decrative eagel on the bow was put in there to try and make it the longest liner in the world which she just missed being?

Yes; and, allegedly yes.

Best wishes,

Mark.

Hello,

Bell asked above if the Imperator (which I mentioned on another thread, if I remember rightly, so I'm not sure why Bell asked it here) was the same as Cunard's Berengaria. I said yes, as the Imperator was renamed Berengaria. The posts are directly above, so I am at a loss to know how you are confused about it.

Best wishes,

Mark.
