"Aquitania" was the only major liner, and the largest commercial vessel, to serve in both World Wars. She was also the last four-funnelled passenger ship to be scrapped. The ship's wheel and a detailed scale model of "Aquitania" may be seen in the Cunard exhibit at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax. Maritime author N. R. P. Bonsor wrote of "Aquitania" in 1963: "Cunard had recovered possession of their veteran in 1948 but she was not worth reconditioning. In 35 years of service "Aquitania" had sailed more than 3 million miles and apart from one or two early Allan Line steamers no other ship served for as long in a single ownership."
