The Lusitania sets new speed record (1907)...



Item # 717568

November 08, 1907

THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, Nov. 8, 1907

* RMS Lusitania steamship
* Sets ocean liner speed record


The front page has a two column heading: "LUSITANIA IS QUEEN OF THE SEAS", which tells of her setting a new speed record for crossing the Atlantic. Surprisingly this issue is in good condition considering it is from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in newsprint manufacturing.
Complete with 8 pages, small library stamps within the masthead, some small binding holes along the spine, but generally very nice.

Item from last month's catalog - #357 released for August, 2025
