The Cunard Line had three 4-funnel ships, the Lusitania and her sister Maurentania, launched within 9 weeks of each other in 1907, and the Aquitania, which followed seven years later. This is a scarce image of the Lusitania. Although there is no name on her prow, this ship can be identified in that the Mauretania had a slightly altered profile, in which her A deck extended out over the hull, and the Aquitania did not run the route advertised on this poster. rare
