The ocean liner RMS Mauretania was built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson at Wallsend, Tyne and Wear for the British Cunard Line, and launched on 20 September 1906. At the time, she was the largest and fastest ship in the world. Mauretania became a favorite among the passengers after capturing the Blue Riband for fastest transatlantic crossing during her 1907 inaugural season. Mauretania held the speed record for twenty-two years. The ship's name was taken from an ancient Roman province on the northwest African coast. In 1897 the German liner SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse became the largest and fastest ship in the world. With a speed of 22 knots (41 km/h) she captured the Blue Riband from Cunard Line liners Campania and Lucania. At around the same time American financier J. P. Morgan’s International Mercantile Marine Co. was attempting to monopolize the shipping trade, and had already acquired Britain's other major transatlantic line White Star In the face of these threats the Cunard Line was determined to regain the prestige of ocean travel back not only to the company, but also to Great Britain. In 1903 Cunard Line and the British government reached an agreement to build two superliners, the Lusitania and Mauretania with a guaranteed service speed of no less than 24 knots, the British government were to loan £2,600,000 for the construction of Lusitania and Mauretania at an interest rate of 2.75% to be paid back over twenty years with a stipulation that the ships could be converted to Armed Merchant Cruisers if needed. Also to fund these ships further the admiralty arranged for Cunard to be paid an additional £150,000 per year to their mail subsidy.
