@briandunn.bsky.socialOn this day in 1909, RMS Mauretania sets a transatlantic record crossing of 4 days, 10 hours, and 51 minutes measured from Queenstown, Ireland to the Ambrose Lightship off New York City.
The record is held for twenty years until broken by the German liner Bremen in 1929.

@bartgonnissen.bsky.social1/19 Eleven years after a church picnic in New York killed a thousand people, a company picnic in Chicago killed 844 more. The ship never left the wharf. She rolled over while the band was playing, in twenty feet of water, six metres from the bank. The SS Eastland. A 🧵. #maritimehistory
@guel-sen.bsky.socialThe grand admirals of the fleets during the Battle of Preveza on September 28, 1538:
Andrea Doria (d. 1560) not only survived the political fallout but remained in command of Charles V's naval forces for years afterward. 1/
@guel-sen.bsky.socialThe second follow-up:
Even during the Battle of Preveza, poor coordination plagued the squadrons of its principal members. In 1540, the Republic of Venice formally abandoned the League, signing a separate treaty with the Ottoman Empire and ceding strategic territories. 1/
@guel-sen.bsky.socialMore on the Naval Battle of Preveza on September 28, 1538; a first follow-up to yesterday's post:
Despite the overwhelming size of the League's fleet, one reason for the Ottoman victory lay in the composition of their own fleet. 🧵1/

@bartgonnissen.bsky.social1/26 In August 1942, an island was weeks from surrender, and everything depended on one tanker. She was torpedoed, bombed, had two aircraft crash onto her, broke her back, was abandoned twice, and arrived with her decks awash, lashed between two destroyers. The SS Ohio. A🧵 #maritimehistory
