Mauretania

Also in the book: the Mauretania, a low-rise apartment building designed in 1934 by Milton J. Black in a Streamline Moderne style that references the British luxury liner of that name, which set a transatlantic speed record in 1909.

The ceremony had been captured on motion picture film that was, the theater advertised, “Now on the Mauretania speeding to New York and by special messenger to Washington.”

The Europeans called the invaders Moors, after Mauretania, the Roman name for North Africa.

The so-called Barkhane force is also involved in Chad, Niger, Burkina Faso and Mauretania.

Most of the lifeboats were not originally on the Queen Mary when it sailed its maiden voyage in 1936 but were salvaged over the years from the Mauretania and Queen Elizabeth, according to historians.
