EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous milestone in maritime history. Taken on the 5th of March, 1936, it showcases the magnificent SS Queen Mary nearing completion at a shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland. The sheer size and grandeur of this transatlantic passenger liner is awe-inspiring as it measures an impressive length of 1,020 feet and boasts a gross tonnage of 81,237. The Queen Mary's significance is further highlighted by its remarkable achievement in winning the prestigious Blue Riband for the fastest crossing of the North Atlantic in 1938. This iconic vessel served as a symbol of luxury and elegance during its active years until its retirement from service in 1967. Now moored at Long Beach, California, this archival photograph evokes nostalgia for an era when ocean liners were marvels of engineering prowess. The image portrays a sense of anticipation as construction machinery surrounds the ship while it undergoes finishing touches before embarking on its maiden voyage. With no people visible within the frame, viewers are invited to appreciate not only the immense scale but also admire the intricate details that went into creating such an extraordinary nautical masterpiece. This print serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an homage to one of history's most beloved ocean liners – RMS Queen Mary.
