My name is Jack Stanley, I have studied history for many years. This blog is about history in a more raw view, not over done. I often use original materials to bring a historic event or story to life or an interview I may have done with the person mentioned. If you cook a vegetable too long it loses much. The same can be said of many histories. They are the history of the history written before it. Over done history. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE RAW. Comments send to phonograph78@hotmail.com

The last of the major 4 stacked liners to go into atlanic ferry service. Cunard's RMS Aquatania 1914-1950. The last of a breed..
Here you see the original advertising print put out by Cunard on their latest ship. The Aquatania. The great vessel served in 2 world wars. Carried more passengers than one could ever imagine. Sailed over a million miles. She was lovingly called the ship beautiful. She was in this her first design. In later years they added a wheel house to the front of the ship forever destroying her beautiful lines...
But this is how Cunard wanted the world to see their newest ship in 1914. The great Aquatania.
