EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white aerial photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of the mighty SS Leviathan being towed into her dock at New York in the 1930s. The image, taken from a vintage print featured in "The Wonder Book of Ships" edited by Harry Golding, showcases the grandeur and power of this iconic ocean liner. As small tugs guide the colossal vessel towards its destination, one can't help but marvel at the sheer size and engineering prowess on display. The birds-eye view allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this floating marvel, from its towering smokestacks to its elegant silhouette cutting through the water. The photo transports us back to a time when transatlantic travel was both glamorous and adventurous. It speaks volumes about America's booming shipping industry during that era while also highlighting Britain's influence as it was published by Ward, Lock & Co. , a renowned British publishing house. In this monochrome masterpiece, we witness not just a ship docking but also an intersection between artistry and technology. The composition exudes a sense of movement and anticipation as if inviting viewers to embark on their own voyage across oceans. This remarkable snapshot serves as a reminder of how transportation has shaped our world throughout history. It is an homage to those who built these magnificent vessels and those who sailed upon them seeking new horizons.
