Beautiful, Interesting, Fun & Historical Things I like
My first first tumblr was Fuzzy not Furry, which had my interests alond with some porn. When that was became disallowed, I deleted the porn and still use for myself mostly. So I created a second account called SCOTTSBIFH. This is now where I post nearly everything.
I am a gay man living with my longtime husband in Orange County, California. We love to travel & enjoy good food & wines. We take civil rights of everyone very seriously and would love to have a Scandinavian approach to government here. All content is taken from the web save a few of my own photos. If you own a photo and want it removed, please let me know and I will gladly do so.

RMS Aquitania. From FB group The Marine Buff
The RMS Aquitania was an ocean liner of the Cunard Line, notable for its long service from 1914 to 1950. Designed by Leonard Peskett and built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, she was launched on April 21, 1913, and embarked on her maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York on May 30, 1914. The Aquitania was renowned for its elegance and was part of Cunard’s "grand trio" of express liners alongside the Lusitania and Mauretania.
The Aquitania was 901 feet long and 97 feet wide, with a draft of 36 feet. She had a gross tonnage of 45,647 tons and was powered by four steam turbines, enabling a cruising speed of 23 knots and a maximum speed of 24 knots. The ship could accommodate up to 3,230 passengers, divided into 618 in first class, 614 in second class, and 1,998 in third class, along with a crew of 972 members. She had ten decks and was equipped with various luxury amenities for her time.
During her service, Aquitania played significant roles during both World Wars. Initially serving as an armed merchant cruiser and then as a troopship and hospital ship, she was heavily utilized by the Royal Navy. After the wars, she returned to commercial service, becoming one of the most profitable ocean liners of her era.
The ship featured a double hull and watertight compartments, designed to remain afloat with five compartments flooded, which was a direct response to the Titanic disaster. She was also one of the first ships to carry enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew, with a total of eighty lifeboats including two motorized launches with Marconi wireless equipment.
Aquitania was scrapped in 1950, ending a distinguished career as one of the last four-funnel liners and one of the longest-serving liners in maritime history.
