A 1:1200 model of the Cunard ocean liner RMS Saxonia, part of the Tri-Ang Minic range produced between 1959 and 1964.
Triang Catalogue Number: M708
This Minic Ships model is of RMS Saxonia, lead ship of Cunard's four vessel "Saxonia" Class which were designed and built by John Brown & Company to service the St Lawrence Route to Quebec and Montreal replacing all of Cunard's old pre-Second World War vessels such as Scythia, Samaria, and Ascania.
These ships were large passenger / cargo vessels rather than pure passenger ships and were designed with only two classes of accommodation, a small First Class and a large Tourist Class. This design reflected the perceived changes in demand for sea travel with first class trade increasingly travelling by air.
The model has a white and black body and red and black funnel.
RMS Saxonia's period of operation was 1954-1962.
