In 1840, Cunard launched three ships: the Britannia, Acadia, and Caledonia. These vessels were part of the company's inaugural service, marking the beginning of regular transatlantic passenger shipping. The Britannia, in particular, was notable for being the first ship to provide scheduled service between Liverpool and Halifax, Nova Scotia, and onward to Boston.
