the Cunard Line's 'Campania' and 'Lucania'


Both ships were built in Glasgow by Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Company, had identical dimensions and their maiden voyages were in 1893. Lucania was scrapped after being damaged by a fire at Liverpool on 14 August 1909. Campania was bought by the Admiralty in WW1 and turned into a warship; the ship lasted until she was sunk in a collision with HMS Glorious on 5 November 1918.

    I love this postcard! My great grandfather immigrated to the US on the Campania from Liverpool. Is there any way to get a higher resolution image so that I can print it out?

    It's possible a site like Allposters.com or Zazzle.com will have one.
