RMS Sylvania was an ocean liner built in 1957, in Scotland for Cunard.
She was the last Cunard vessel built specifically for transatlantic crossings.
The ship was later heavily rebuilt as a cruise ship, and sailed under the names:
 SS Fairwind, SS Sitmar Fairwind, SS Dawn Princess and SS Albatros 
before being scrapped in 2004. She was renamed SS Genoa for her last voyage.

In 1839, Samuel Cunard was awarded the first British transatlantic mail contract,
so he formed the British and Nth American Royal Mail Steam-Packet Co.
In the 1870s Cunard fell behind its rival: White Star Line.
To meet this competition, and to raise capital, in 1879 the firm was reorganized as the: 
Cunard Steamship Company, Ltd.
