The RMS MAURETANIA was a luxurious transatlantic Ocean liner. Scrapped in 1934, many of the fittings from the vessel were salvaged, reinstalled as decorative interiors, placed in museums or private collections. The best and largest remains are probably at the Mauretania in Bristol, England. First floor retains the first-class Grand Saloon with French-style gilding. - AsNotedIn
