EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the magnificent Caronia, a new Cunard liner under construction at Clydebank on 14th May 1947. With its unusual portrait angle, the image beautifully captures the grandeur of this vessel against the backdrop of Scotland's serene waters. Weighing an impressive 34,183 gross tons, the Caronia was a true marvel of shipbuilding expertise. Its sleek design allowed it to carry up to 930 passengers at a remarkable speed of 22 knots, making it one of the fastest ships in its time. This luxury liner became synonymous with transatlantic travel between New York and Europe. The photograph exudes nostalgia as it takes us back to an era when cruise ships were not just means of transportation but floating palaces offering opulent experiences for their privileged guests.
