Race for Seas Supremacy As Mauretania Aims Record
The Mauretania may dethrone the Lusitania as world’s fastest ocean liner within weeks. Tests show 10,000-mile runs at up to 26.13 knots an hour with 0.300-mile stretches hitting 0.9 knots. The Lusitania’s best daily pace and maiden voyage times are cited as Cunard faces a prize from Britain’s government while German lines vow faster ships to reclaim prestige. The speed race is framed as national competition, with Germany poised to challenge if Hamburg-American and North German Lloyd surpass Cunard records.
