ETRURIA: 1885 - First Class pax list from 1900

Cunard Line: A Saloon (First Class) passenger list dated July 7, 1900, for a New York to Liverpool crossing aboard the R.M.S. ETRUTIA. The eight-page list shows around 300 names, a bit shy of the ship's 478 passengers capacity in First Class. I am a little rusty on my 19th century celebrities and big-wigs so I have not checked the list. On back is a track chart and on front is an unfilled-in log. ETRURIA and sister ship UMBRIA were the last Cunarders to carry auxiliary sails, a reminder that single-screw propulsion was held hostage to the fragile propeller shaft. But they were also quick and both ships won the Blue Ribband several times in the 1880s for speeds surpassing 19 knots.    ETRURIA's sailing days ended when she hit struck and sunk a lighter while proceeding to Liverpool's landing stage in 1908. She was laid up and shuffled off to the breakers in 1910. Very good condition with glue marks on back.
