Mauretania mania.

[Coquet]

Mauretania madness sweeps Amble again. Families split, neighbour against neighbour. Uncertainty and doubt reign supreme. Are we actually the kindliest port and not the friendliest port we have believed all these years? Have we been lied to? How can this be?

Anyway, in Newcastle to pick up 'swag' yesterday and popped into the Discovery museum to have a look at what they have on Parsons the turbine builder for a little medal related project. Completely missed all their Parsons stuff , apart from the Turbinia of course, which you can't miss, but did find their model of the Mauretania. It is worth a look in just for that model, massive and impressive to say the least.
