Britten, who has been appointed to the command of the liner Queen Mary, which is scheduled to start her maiden voyage on May 27, is known as “the knight of the Atlantic.” He was born in England in 1869. He knows every phase of a sailor’s life. Apprenticed to the sea when he was 13, he served for many years in sailing vessels, and by the time he reached manhood had travelled over every ocean and was acquainted with trading conditions at most of the chief ports of the world. After experience of various type of steamships he was engaged by the Cunard Company in 1901 and appointed fourth officer of the Ivernia, a liner built in the previous year. Although the Ivernia had only a tonnage of 14,210, she was one of the largest vessels afloat until a year later the White Star Company launched the Celtic of 20,900 tons. With that appointment Sir Edgar began a long period of service on the Atlantic which has run to hundreds of crossings. In 1915 he was given ills first command, being made captain of the Phrygia, and afterwards comdanded other Cunarders, including the Aquitania, Mauretania, Samaria, and Franconia. In the last of these lie made two world cruises, enabling his passengers by his geniality, tact, and ability to smooth over all difficulties and to have a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. T- December, 1930, he was given as highest command in the Cunard fleet- - that of the 52,000-ton liner Berengaria. In January, 1934, he was knighted, and in May, when he had said that iie thought of retiring, he was presented with a special silver medal by the Cherbourg Chamber of Commerce just 25 years after he had first entered the port in the ship in which he was an apprentice.
