1909 Cunard passenger list with
a bound-in advertisement for the ill-fated Lusitania
and sailing schedules for Titanic rescue ship Carpathia Scarce saloon passenger list/brochure for the Cunard Line passenger steamer H.M.S. Saxonia, from Liverpool to Boston via Queenstown, September 21, 1909. Color pictorial covers, 7-1/2” x4-7/8”, approx. 16 pages. Just a touch of mild soiling and handling wear, otherwise clean, bright, and near fine to fine overall.

Promoting the Lusitania six years before her demise. The booklet includes a page with list of the ship’s officers; a four-page alphabetized list of the passengers; general information on shipboard services, baggage, dogs, automobiles, valuables, etc. schedules of Cunard sailings to Boston and New York (with several mentions of the Lusitania) and Hungarian-American service (with multiple mentions of the Titanic rescue ship Carpathia); and more. Also of note is a bound-in slip advertising the fall and winter sailings of the Lusitania and Mauritania between Liverpool and New York.

Of particular interest is a full-page advertisement on the interior of the front cover for various lines on the U.S.-to-Europe route. The listing for the White Star Line begins with Olympic and Titanic, “Triple-Screw, 45,000 Tons, In Service April 1912, The Largest Steamers in the World.”

The R.M.S. Saxonia, built by John Brown & Company of Clydebank, Scotland, made her maiden voyage on May 22, 1900. During World War I she was requisitioned as a troop ship and accommodation ship for German prisoners of war, returning to commercial service in 1918. She was scrapped in the Netherlands in 1925.

IMPORTANT CORRECTION: The interior of the cover does not have an advertisement mentioning the Titanic (see third paragraph), which was a White Star ship; this information was accidentally copied from another of my descriptions. Apologies for the error.
