EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic RMS Atlantis in Valetta, Malta during the years 1929 to 1939. Originally known as Andes, this impressive liner underwent a transformation into a luxurious cruise ship by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. The Atlantis proudly sailed through the Mediterranean Sea, serving as a symbol of British maritime excellence. During World War II, this remarkable vessel took on a new role as a hospital ship, providing vital medical aid to those in need. Its noble service continued even after the war's end when it became instrumental in transporting British emigrants seeking new beginnings in Australia and New Zealand. The image showcases the bustling harbor of Valetta with rowing boats dotting its waters. The sight of Atlantis amidst these smaller vessels is awe-inspiring, highlighting its grandeur and dominance within the shipping industry at that time. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to an era when sea travel was not only practical but also synonymous with adventure and luxury. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with exploration. Preserved by The Print Collector for future generations to admire, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter of maritime history - one where ships like RMS Atlantis reigned supreme over vast oceans while connecting people from different corners of the globe.
