The R.M.S. Berengaria was originally built for the Hamburg-Amerika Line as the Imperator. At the end of World War I, she was seized by the America Navy and given to the British as reparation for sinking of the Lusitania. The ship was then sold to the Cunard line.
The Hall Genealogy website has lots of information on the ship along with many photos of the interior.

Look at how those big red funnels dominate the scene, echoed by the ones in the smaller boats alongside.
ReplyDeleteThat ship had an interesting history.
