A Historic Voyage: The Queen Mary's Daring Departure from Clydebank to Greenock, Scotland, in March 1936 This photograph captures the momentous occasion of the Queen Mary ocean liner's first voyage down the River Clyde in Scotland, en route to Greenock from Clydebank. The Queen Mary, a symbol of luxury and elegance in the 1930s, was a groundbreaking passenger cruiser that set sail on her maiden journey after months of meticulous interior fitting at Clydebank. As the most dangerous voyage the Queen Mary was ever likely to undertake, the clearance between her keel and the riverbed was only 4 feet in some places. Extensive dredging and channel-widening had been necessary to prepare the river for the Queen Mary's passage. The anticipation and excitement were palpable as the vessel, escorted by tugs, navigated the narrow waterway towards the sea. In this aerial view, the Queen Mary appears as a majestic silhouette against the backdrop of the River Clyde, with the bustling crowds and boats below offering a testament to the historical significance of this event. The birds in the sky add a touch of nature to the scene, making for a truly unforgettable moment in maritime history. The Queen Mary's journey from Clydebank to Greenock marked the beginning of a new era in ocean travel, showcasing the marvels of engineering and innovation that made the 1930s an exciting time for transportation and travel.
