RMS Ausonia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the Cunard liner. For the Italian liner, see SS Ausonia.

RMS Ausonia, launched in 1921, was one of Cunard's six post-World War I "A-class" ocean liners for the Canadian service.

[edit] History

She was built in Newcastle by Armstrong, Whitworth & Co.. She made her maiden voyage, Liverpool-Montreal, on 31 August 1922 and the following season went into service on the London-Canada route. Ausonia was requisitioned as an armed merchant cruiser in September 1939, decommissioned in 1964, and scrapped in Spain the next year.
