About Mauretania The Speed Champion | HISTORY

RMS Mauretania was once Great Britain's champion of the North Atlantic. Built to take back supremacy of the sea, Mauretania was a monumental construction endeavor and once in service, battled relentlessly to capture the coveted Blue Riband. A title she would hold for an incredible length of time.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a University-educated historian, Alex the Historian was a nickname I got while working at Disneyland as a tour guide. After 6 years of using it as a stage name for my channel, it would be detrimental to the channel to suddenly change the name.
