EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic entrance of the White Star Liner Majestic into the world's largest graving dock in Southampton, circa 1934. The RMS Majestic, formerly known as SS Bismarck, held the title of being the largest ship until 1935. This historic vessel was originally launched in 1914 by Hamburg America Line but was later given to Britain as war reparations and renamed SS Majestic. The image showcases a remarkable aerial view of this momentous occasion, with the towering funnel of the ship dominating the landscape. The sepia tones add a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from a bygone era. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back to a time when ocean liners were symbols of grandeur and adventure. The significance of this event is further emphasized by its publication in an esteemed London newspaper in 1935. It serves as a testament to both technological advancements and international relations during that period. As we admire this piece of transportation history, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. From His Majesty The King himself, who reigned from 1910-1935, this photograph encapsulates an era defined by exploration and progress.
