RMS Franconia was a passenger liner built by the British company Cunard Line. It was launched in 1910 and made its maiden voyage from Liverpool to Boston in 1911. At the time, it was one of the largest ships in the world, measuring over 700 feet in length and weighing more than 18,000 tons.
During World War I, the Franconia was used as a troopship to transport soldiers to the front lines in Europe. After the war, it was converted back to a passenger liner and continued to operate on the transatlantic route until 1933, when it was sold for scrap.
The Franconia was known for its luxurious amenities, including a swimming pool, Turkish bath, and grand staircase. It also had a reputation for its safety, as it was equipped with the latest in wireless telegraph technology and life-saving equipment.
One notable event in the Franconia's history was the sinking of the Lusitania, a Cunard liner that was torpedoed by a German U-boat in 1915. The Franconia was among the ships that rushed to the scene to help rescue survivors.
