EDITORS COMMENTS
A moment in maritime history: Delivering Flour to the Queen Mary, 1936. This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era as a Josph Rank Ltd. Miller's truck, laden with sacks of freshly milled flour, approaches the majestic RMS Queen Mary at the quayside. As Britain's largest ocean liner, the Queen Mary sailed primarily in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line. Her luxurious amenities and size made her a symbol of British maritime prowess and a testament to the country's industrial might. In this image, we see the quay bustling with activity as the flour delivery is being unloaded from the truck and prepared for transfer to the ship. The Queen Mary's towering silhouette against the harbor backdrop underscores the scale of the operation, while the trailer and sacks of flour add a sense of the practicalities involved in restocking such a vast vessel. This historical photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, when the delivery of essential supplies to ocean liners was a critical part of transatlantic travel.
