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.

“Go outside” they said. “You’ll enjoy the fresh air” they said. Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

You said, “Lend an ear, I implore you, this comes from my heart: I’ll always adore you, ‘til death do us part.” Remember? It was pretty swell… I mean, while it lasted. But all beautiful things must end, so I guess we might as well call it a day.

This little guy is a postcard from my collection that was mailed in 1908. I love him so much that I use him as my avatar for all my accounts!
