I am not 100% sure if it has a picture of the ship, but you should try this book: Picture History of the Cunard Line, 1840-1990 by Frank Osborn Braynard, William H. Miller. You should be able to get it from your local library, or order it from Amazon.com (for $10.47):
Thank you for the information. I will check that out. I got the ship manifesto from the Ellis Island site for 1898 and they had a picture of a ship but it was the SS Aurania that was built in 1915 so was not the ship my grandparents came over on. (Actually it is my husband's grandparents) Thanks.
I know your message is old but I just found it. you can get a photo of the correct aurania on this web site: http://archives.ubalt.edu/steamship/transa.htm My wife's grandparents came over on her in 1903.

This url no longer works. Does anyone know a corrected one to access this picture of the SS Aurania built in1883?

This isn't a very good copy, but in case you do not find another, I have uploaded it to the image gallery. It was printed in an old booklet my great-grandfather issued, and I think I have the original photo somewhere, but can't not find it right now.
Would anyone know if there is a passenger list for the Aurania sailing out of Liverpool on July 12, 1890. I am looking for a James Lynn and his fellow travelers.
SS Aurania
