A beautiful oil painting of RMS Mauretania by maritime artist and former marine radio officer for Cunard, Fred Tordoff. Size 77cm x 63cm with frame. The Ship: RMS Mauretania was a British ocean liner built for the Cunard Line by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson in Wallsend on the River Tyne. Launched in 1906, she was the largest ship in the world until RMS Olympic was launched in 1910. Mauretania became famous for her speed, securing the eastbound Blue Riband on her maiden return voyage in December 1907 and the westbound record in 1909. She went on to hold both records for an impressive 20 years. During the First World War, Mauretania was requisitioned by the British government and served as both a hospital ship and a troopship. She returned to Cunard's passenger service in 1919 and continued operating for many years. In September 1934, Cunard-White Star retired the liner, and she was eventually scrapped at Rosyth in 1935. The Artist: Frederick Tordoff (1939-Present) was born in Whitley Bay, on the northeast coast of England. The area has a rich maritime heritage and Fred sketched the local scenes and landmarks. After a stint in the Royal Air Force, Tordoff studied Marine Radio and Electronics at the Kingston-Upon-Hull College. Hull had a thriving school of marine art, and after visits to art galleries and the Hull Whaling Museum, Tordoff was motivated to paint the keels, sloops and whale ships that plied the waterways in the great age of sail. Tordoff joined the Cunard Steamship Company as a Radio & Electronics Officer and traveled the world. He continued to paint during these long sea voyages, and eventually began to exhibit his work at local art groups and galleries in northern England. The artist currently resides in New Jersey and continues to specialize in marine and sailing subjects, including the Hudson River and the Nantucket and New Bedford whaling fleets. His paintings are in collections in throughout Great Britain, Europe and the United States including Tim Casey and Susan Ostrowski’s home to be displayed at RYC this evening.
