RMS Etruria

RMS Etruria and Umbria were the last two Cunarders that were fitted with auxiliary sails. Etruria was built by John Elder & Co. of Glasgow, Scotland in 1884. Etruria and Umbria, by the standards of the time, were record breakers. They were the largest liners then in service, and they plied the Liverpool to New York Service. RMS Etruria was completed and launched in March 1885, twelve weeks later than Umbria.
