Just adding a couple of fun facts about the ship in this postcard that I just read about :)
RMS Saxonia (1899-1925) was the first of two Cunard Line ships with the same name. The second, RMS Saxonia (1954), was later renamed RMS Carmania in 1962.
The RMS Saxonia (1899-1925) featured in this postcard:
Was built by the John Brown & Company shipyard in Scotland and was one of the first ships to have a wireless telegraph installed.
Served as a troop transport ship and an armed merchant cruiser during World War I.
Was refitted and converted to a three-class cruise ship in 1922, with a passenger capacity of 600 in first class, 400 in second class, and 1,000 in third class.

Quick sketch of my boy Bucky Barnes. Inspired by @tempestaurora’s beautiful fic, “Let me be buried under your name”.
I am such a sucker for them exchanging dog tags. It’s very tiny but you can see Bucky wearing Steve’s tags here.
That fic single handled gave me a stucky resurgence and I love it so much. If you haven’t, seriously go read it.
Merry Christmas
