EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken on the 8th of October 1935, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment in shipbuilding history. The image showcases a skilled worker diligently painting one of the 24 super unsinkable lifeboats being constructed for the iconic Cunard-White Star Liner Queen Mary at Govan by Messrs Hugh McLean. The scene exudes an air of industriousness and craftsmanship as the anonymous male figure stands with his back to us, fully immersed in his task. With paintbrush in hand, he delicately applies strokes of paint onto the vessel's surface, ensuring its durability and resilience against treacherous waters. The composition highlights not only the worker's dedication but also offers a glimpse into Scotland's rich shipbuilding heritage. Against a backdrop of towering cranes and other vessels under construction, this snapshot captures a pivotal moment during Europe's golden age of shipbuilding. As we gaze upon this evocative print, it is impossible not to marvel at both the scale of human ingenuity involved in constructing such magnificent ships and the unsung heroes who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst turbulent times like those faced during Queen Mary's era, there were individuals whose unwavering commitment ensured safe passage for countless travelers across vast oceans.
