Rising against the sky (right) is the bow ot 35,C77-icas liner Mauretania, undergoing at Liver-pool, England, reconversion lo a peacetime luxury liner. The British vessel, completed in 1939, replaced her famous namesake which held, from 1907 to 1929, the record for the fastest North Atlantic crossing. During 7 years of war service she safely carried 330,000 Allied troops across Atlantic, Indian and Australian waters. Her reconversion includes the scraping and painting of her hull, the overhauling of her 25-tons propellers, and the inspection of her three 9-tons anchors. Smiling below is Sir Malcolm Campbell, once holder of the world land-speed record, and still, at C2, holder of the world water-speed record. His hand rests on a scale model of a new jet-powered speedboat when its advanced, streamlined design was being wind-tunnel tested for him at Hayes. Middlesex, England. When his new boat, to be called Bluebird, like all his record-breakers, is finished, the British speed king hopes to better his present 141.74 m.p.h. for a dash across water. smiled on the project by providing ideal sunny weather.
