The line was founded in 1840 by Samuel Cunard, a businessman from Halifax, Nova Scotia. He applied for and received a contract from the British government to carry the Royal Mail from Britain to North America on a fleet of steamships that would maintain a weekly service. The first route was from Liverpool to Boston via Halifax, and the British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was born. Soon after, the company changed its name to Cunard Steamships Ltd. In 1879 the privately held British and North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was reorganized as a public stock corporation, the Cunard Steamship Company, Ltd., and immediately set about commissioning a fleet to take on its rivals. Among the ships added over the next few years were Servia, which launched in 1881 and was the first passenger liner with electric lighting; and Blue Riband winners, Campania and Luciana, (both launched in 1893), which sailed at 21.8 knots each. Throughout the 19th century, Cunard Line set the standard for larger, faster and more luxurious ships. Two new liners, Mauretania and Lusitania, were one-third larger than any existing ship and powered by turbine steam engines, a new technology. Mauretania was the slightly faster sister and quickly took the North Atlantic speed record (and held it for a record 22 years). It had a long, profitable career. Cunard's express liners carried three classes of passenger: first, second and steerage. First class was opulent, with public rooms imitative of the decor of country houses and hotels. Second class was comfortable and cheaper. Steerage was for immigrants. In the late 1920s Cunard lay down plans for a pair of liners that would be capable of maintaining the weekly service between Southampton and New York. Construction was delayed by the Great Depression, but the British government issued loan guarantees on the condition that Cunard merge with its rival, White Star Line, which took place in 1934. Cunard-White Star Line launched Queen Mary in 1935 and Queen Elizabeth in 1939. After the war, Cunard resumed transatlantic service with the Queens and a large fleet of smaller ships. In 1947, the line bought the rest of the remaining White Star stock and dropped the name, but retains to this day its "White Star Service" onboard. This was the Golden Age of transatlantic travel. Mauretania was retired in 1965, Queen Mary and Caronia in 1967, and Queen Elizabeth in 1968. Queen Mary was sold to the City of Long Beach, California, to become a hotel and conference center. It remains there to this day, allegedly haunted, having been a shoreside attraction longer than it sailed the seas. Single sheet, printed on both sides.…

Condizione: Very good. One of multiple originals produced. Approximately 5.25 inches by 6.75 inches folded in half to make a note card. Color illustration of the ship on the top left of the interior and the words Cunard Line R.M.S. "Caronia" on the right side. Envelop is present and has a nautical flag design on the flap and the statement":If undelivered please return this letter to:--" below the flap. Scarce surviving copy. In 1950 the Caronia was described as.The world's largest postwar liner, the Caronia, was especially constructed to combine the better features of the ideal Cruise Ship and the transatlantic liner. Her pale green hull is a delightful innovation in ocean travel, particularly suited to cruising in the tropics. Her every appointment spells unprecedented luxury. The Caronia is continually air-conditioned to withstand the vicissitudes of winter, or dispel the torrid heat of the tropical sun. The Caronia is a modern ship. Every public room and every stateroom represents the latest advances in ship-board splendour and comfort. In her, the traveller finds a composite of charm and intimacy usually associated only with private yachts; a grace and luxury that are delightful complements to the world cruise. The staterooms are done with a perfection of detail, toward achieving a maximum of comfort. They are completely modern rooms, most of them outside with either bath or shower, and they have, of course, louvre ventilation, private telephones and generally every appointment that distinguishes a fine hotel. Garden Lounges spread along the Promenade Deck with large framed windows overlooking the sea. Between these lounges is the Caronia's comfortable theatre. RMS Caronia was a 34,183 gross register tons (GRT) passenger ship of the Cunard Line (then Cunard White Star Line). Launched on 30 October 1947, she served with Cunard until 1967. She was initially nicknamed the "Green Goddess" after Liverpool's green and white "Green Goddess" trams, and the nickname stuck. She was one of the first "dual-purpose" ships, built both for 2-class transatlantic crossings and all 1st-class cruising. After leaving Cunard she briefly served as SS Caribia in 1969, after which she was laid up in New York until 1974 when she was sold for scrap. While being towed to Taiwan for scrapping, she was caught in a storm on 12 August. After her tow lines were cut, she repeatedly crashed on the rocky breakwater outside Apra Harbor, Guam and broke into three sections. The brand new RMS Caronia made her maiden voyage on 4 January 1949 between Southampton and New York. Two more transatlantic crossings followed before the ship embarked on her first cruises from New York to the Caribbean. During her first years she spent most of the year on transatlantic crossings; only during the winter was she engaged in cruising. In 1951 she made her first world cruise. From 1952 onwards she made transatlantic crossings only in August and September, with the rest of the year dedicated to cruising. In May 1953 the Caronia made what was perhaps her most famous cruise, associated with the coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II (who had christened the Caronia six years earlier). The ship was used as a hotel, as most of the accommodation in the United Kingdom was fully booked. Single sheet of stationery, printed on one side, with envelop.…
