(poster above): " - "IVERNIA" and "SAXONIA" (TWIN SCREW). Two of the largest and most comfortable ships crossing the Atlantic. Accommodation for 160 first, 200 second and 1600 third class passengers. The third-class accommodation embraces dining, smoking and sitting rooms, and 2, 4 & 6 berth rooms. The steadiness of these ships in all Waters, to which every Passenger testifies, and the freedom from Sea-sickness, are remakable"
