Additional Details:
The Cunard steamship Etruria and sister-ship Umbria were launched in 1884. Each was 500 feet long with a gross tonnage of 8,127 tons. With engines that could produce 14,500 horse-power, they could steam at 19 1/2 knots. They carried 550 first-class passengers and 800 emigrants. The illustration also displays distinguishing funnels and house flags of principal transatlantic lines, along with the International Code of Signals.
