Aquitania, the third in Cunard Line's grand trio of express liners (preceded by Mauretania and Lusitania), was also the last surviving four-funnelled ocean liner. She sailed on her final commercial voyage from Halifax to Southampton between November 24th and 1st December 1949. After 35 years of service, her decks leaked in foul weather and her bulkheads and funnels were corroded to the point that a crewmember recalled You could stick a finger through them!
