The Britannia class was the Cunard Line's initial fleet of wooden paddlers that established the first year round scheduled Atlantic steamship service in 1840. By 1845, steamships carried half of the transatlantic saloon passengers and Cunard dominated this trade. While the units of the Britannia class were solid performers, they were not superior to many of the other steamers being placed on the Atlantic at that time. What made the Britannia class successful is that it was the first homogeneous class of transatlantic steamships to provide a frequent and uniform service. Britannia, Acadia and Caledonia entered service in 1840 and Columbia in 1841 enabling Cunard to provide the dependable schedule of sailings required under his mail contracts with the Admiralty. It was these mail contracts t

  • Třída Britannia bylo označení kolesových parníků společnosti Cunard Line budovaných od roku 1840, které sloužily na poštovní lince společnosti Liverpool-Halifax. V roce 1845 převezly polovinu všech cestujících přes Atlantik v salónové třídě a v tomto směru jednoznačně dominovaly. Ačkoli to nebyly nejlepší transatlantické parníky, jejich hlavní výhodou bylo, že zajišťovaly pravidelné odjezdy mezi těmito destinacemi. (cs)

  • La classe Britannia est une classe de paquebot transatlantique, la première flotte de paquebots de la Cunard Line. Mise en service en 1840 pour assurer la liaison transatlantique entre Liverpool et Boston via Halifax, elle se compose au départ des trois premiers paquebots (le Britannia, l’Acadia, le Caledonia) commandés par Samuel Cunard à l'ingénieur écossais Charles Napier qui les fait construire sur les chantiers navals de la Clyde en Écosse. Afin d'assurer un service bihebdomadaire, un quatrième paquebot, le Columbia est commandé en 1841 pour compléter la série. Tous les sister-ships du « quatuor » ont les mêmes caractéristiques techniques. (fr)
  • A classe Britannia foi a frota inicial de Barcos a vapor com rodas de pás da Cunard Line, que estabeleceu o primeiro serviço programado de linhas transatlânticas regulares no Atlântico durante todo o ano em 1840. Em 1845, os navios a vapor transportavam metade dos passageiros das travessias transatlânticas e a Cunard dominava esse comércio. Embora as unidades da classe Britannia tivessem um desempenho sólido, não eram superiores a muitos dos outros navios a vapor em serviço no Atlântico naquela época. O que tornou a classe Britannia um sucesso é que ela foi a primeira classe homogênea de navios a vapor transatlânticos a fornecer um serviço frequente e uniforme. Britannia, Acadia e Caledonia entraram em serviço em 1840 e Columbia em 1841, permitindo que Cunard fornecesse o cronograma confiá (pt)
