Back to catalogue Place Bid or Track Lot Lot No: 108 Odin Rosenvinge (British, 1880-1957) R.M.S. Aquitania leaving New York signed 'Odin Rosenvinge' (lower left) oil on canvas 101.6 x 152.4cm (40 x 60in). Estimate: £10,000 - 15,000, 12,000 - 18,000 Request Condition Report Footnote: LITERATURE : Robert Wall, Ocean Liner Postcards in Marine Art, 1900-1945 ,(Woodbridge, 1998), p 43, illustrated. Odin Rosenvinge was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1880 of Danishdescent. After leaving school, he joined a Leeds commercial art andprinting firm where he started to paint marine subjects. When hewas thirty-two, he moved to Liverpool and joined the firm of Turnerand Dunett who had all the major shipping companies as clients. Heserved in the Middle East during World War I. In the 1930's, hisemployers went into liquidation and he went freelance, becoming oneof the most celebrated poster and postcard artists. Aquitania was a Cunard Line ocean liner built by John Brown& Company in Clydebank, Scotland and was launched on 21 April1913. Her keel was laid in the same plot that had famously built Lusitania and that would later be used for building QueenMary , Queen Elizabeth & Queen Elizabeth II . Aquitania was the third in Cunard's 'grand trio' of liners,preceded by the R.M.S. Mauretania and R.M.S. Lusitania . Widely considered one of the most attractiveships of her time, Aquitania earned the nickname 'ShipBeautiful'. In her 36 years of service, Aquitania survivedmilitary duty in both world wars and returned to passenger serviceafter each conflict. Aquitania 's record for the longestservice career of any 20th century express liner stood until 2004,when the Queen Elizabeth 2 (ultimate career service of 40years) became the longest-serving liner. In the wake of the Titanic disaster, Aquitania was one of the firstships to carry enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew. Her public spaces were designed by the British architect ArthurJoseph Davis of the interior decorating firm Mewès and Davis, whichhad overseen the construction and decoration of the Ritz Hotel inLondon. The Aquitania set sail on her maiden voyage underthe command of Captain William Turner on 30th May 1914. This event,however, was overshadowed by the sinking of the R.M.S. Empressof Ireland off Quebec the previous day with over a thousanddrowned. The following month the Archduke Franz Ferdinand ofAustria was assassinated and the world was plunged into World WarI, interrupting Aquitania 's civilian career. After onlythree round trips she was taken over for military use. Her serviceduring World War I included being used as a hospital ship in theDardanelles campaign and as a troopship, conveying North Americantroops to Britain. Many of these departures were from the port ofHalifax, Nova Scotia where her spectacular dazzle paint scheme wascaptured by artists and photographers, notably Antonio Jacobsen. Onone occasion she transported over 8,000 men. During the 1920s Aquitania sailed with the Cunarders Mauretania and Berengaria in a trio known as 'The BigThree', becoming one of the most popular liners on the NorthAtlantic route. As the 1920s became one of the most profitable agesin ocean travel history, Aquitania became the favorite ofroyalty, other aristocracy, politicians and royalty. This came toan end with the devastating consequences following the stock marketcrash of 1929. On 10 April 1935 Aquitania went hard agroundnear Thorne Knoll on the River Test outside Southampton, but withthe aid of ten tugboats and the next high tide she was freed. As time went on Aquitania grew older and was scheduled to bereplaced by R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth in 1940, but this planwas shelved with the outbreak of World War II. In 1940 Aquitania was in New York awaiting further orders and for atime she was tied up alongside R.M.S. Queen Mary , the Queen Elizabeth , and the Normandie which must havebeen a very impressive sight. Shortly after, Aquitania sailed for Sydney, Australia, to become a troop transport, just asshe had in World War I. Later in 1940 Aquitania , QueenMary , Queen Elizabeth , S.S. Ile de France andother ships sailed in a magnificent convoy out of Sydney,Australia. In November 1941 Aquitania was in Singapore (then still aBritish colony) now repainted in battleship grey, set sail to takepart indirectly in the loss of the Australian cruiser H.M.A.S. Sydney . The Sydney had engaged in battle with theGerman auxiliary cruiser Kormoran . There has been muchunsubstantiated speculation that Kormoran was expecting Aquitania , after spies in Singapore had notified Kormoran 's crew of the liner's sailing, and planned toambush her in the Indian Ocean west of Perth but insteadencountered Sydney on 19 November. Both ships were lostafter a fierce battle and a short time later Aquitania arrived on the scene to pick up survivors of the German ship, thecaptain going against orders not to stop for survivors of sinkings.There were no survivors from the Sydney . In her eight yearsof further military work, Aquitania sailed more than 500,000miles, and carried nearly 400,000 soldiers, to and from places asfar afield as New Zealand, Australia, the South Pacific, Greece andthe Indian Ocean. After completing troopship service, she washanded back to Cunard in 1946, who used her to transport war bridesand their children to Canada under charter from the Canadiangovernment. This final service created a special fondness for Aquitania in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the port ofdisembarkation for these immigration voyages. On completion of thistask in December 1949, she was taken out of service and scrapped in1950 in Scotland, thus ending an illustrious career which includedsteaming 3 million miles in 450 voyages. Aquitania carried 1.2 million passengers over a career thatspanned nearly 36 years. Her record for the longest-serving careerof any 20th century express liner stood until 2004, when the Queen Elizabeth 2 (ultimate career service of 40 years)broke it. Aquitania was the only major liner to serve in both WorldWars, and returned to passenger service after each conflict. Whenshe was scrapped, she was the last surviving four funnelledpassenger ship.
