Creator's Key Takeaways
I cannot get over how beautiful these plans are, how stunningly well drawn they are, and you have to remember that this was all done by hand, and they're well over 110 years old.
Mauretania was a real thoroughbred greyhound of a thing. It was designed mainly for speed, and that's definitely going to come through as we look at these plans.
The drawings are just as impressive as the as the finished ships. It's absolutely superb.
