EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic ocean liner RMS Queen Mary, a true icon of the 20th century. Built by John Brown & Co on Clydeside for the esteemed Cunard White Star Line, this magnificent vessel weighed an astounding 81,000 tons when it was launched in 1934. As she stands proudly docked in the harbour, her sheer size and grandeur are evident. Throughout her illustrious history, Queen Mary played a significant role in transatlantic travel. With only a brief interruption during World War II when she served as a troopship, she dominated the transatlantic route alongside her sister ship, Queen Elizabeth. For over three decades, these two queens of the sea transported passengers across vast oceans with unparalleled luxury and elegance. Retired from service in 1967, Queen Mary found new life as a hotel and tourist attraction moored at Long Beach, California. Today, visitors can marvel at her timeless beauty while exploring her decks filled with rich maritime history. This remarkable photograph captures not only the striking silhouette of this legendary liner but also pays homage to Britain's proud shipping industry. The monochrome tones add depth and nostalgia to this image that serves as a reminder of an era when ocean liners ruled the waves and transport by sea was synonymous with adventure and sophistication.
