One of the most beautiful liners ever built, the SS Rex is depicted in this painting in the Mediterranean, 1934, outward bound to the United States. In the background lies the coast of Italy. Cutting through the foreground, on port tack, witnessing sailors navigate a classic cutter-rigged yawl.

Built by Ansaldo & Company, Sestri Ponente, in Genoa, Italy, 1931, the two-funnel liner wieghed 51,062 gross tons, was 880 feet long and 96 feet wide. Her steam engines, quadruple screw, ran her at a service speed of 28 knots. Designed to carry 2,358 passengers, the SS Rex ran her maiden transatlantic voyage in 1932 for Italian Line's Italy - New York service. This magnificent record breaking Italian liner held the Blue Ribbon as the world's fastest liner from 1933 until 1935. Tragically, in September of 1944, she was set afire by Allied bombers near Trieste and sunk. Scrapping of the ship initialized in 1947.
