I wonder if you can throw some light on a very strange postcard I have found of the Lusitania. It looks as if a photo of the ship has been superimposed on another picture, it is dated 1907 and is an unused postcard from the Valley series from L. Langollan. There is also another describing her as the new cunard liner. My grandfather was a telegraphist on the S.S. Tunisian and later the R.M.S. Umbria (1903/4) and these come from him.

Kind regards,

I work for a company Knowlton Machine now Knowlton Machine Engineering, that built a large number of circular saws in the early 1900's called the Knowlton Cold Saw. I have read a lot of old company records and several of these saws were shipped to New York from Portland, Maine in 1915. They were in the cargo of Lusitania when she set sail for England. These saws were uses by England to cut shrapnel shell casings for the war effort. I have a photo of the machines if anyone would like a copy, these are a heavy rugged machines with 24" dia inserted tooth blades that must be pretty much intact within the ship still.
