General Maritime Artefacts
Lot 76:
From a set of five this is a jigsaw puzzle of the RMS Laconia of the Cunard Line. It is complete and in its original box and in an excellent condition and dates from the 1930’s and the size is 9" (24cm) x 7" (19cm).
[The new ship was launched on 9 April 1921, and made her maiden voyage on 25 May 1922 from Southampton to New York City. At the outbreak of World War II she was converted into an Armed Merchant Cruiser, and subsequently a troopship. Like her predecessor, sunk during the First World War, this Laconia was also destroyed by a German submarine. Some estimates of the death toll have suggested that over 1,649 people were killed when the Laconia sank.]
Measurement: 24 x 19 CM
