EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a pivotal moment in maritime history - the construction of the iconic RMS Queen Elizabeth in 1938. The image showcases the impressive work being done by the skilled workers at John Brown & Company on the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland.
The sheer size and scale of this Edwardian-era Cunard liner is evident as it takes shape before our eyes. The intricate details of its design, from the steamship's sleek hull to its towering smokestacks, are a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of those who built her.
As one of the largest and most luxurious ocean liners of its time, RMS Queen Elizabeth represented a new era in transatlantic travel. With its elegant Victorian styling and state-of-the-art technology, she quickly became a symbol of prestige and sophistication on the high seas.
This photograph not only captures a moment in history but also serves as a reminder of the golden age of ocean travel. It transports us back to an era when these magnificent ships ruled the waves, carrying passengers across oceans with grace and style.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this snapshot from yesteryear for future generations to admire and appreciate. It stands as a tribute to both the shipbuilders who brought her into existence and to all those who sailed aboard her during her illustrious career.
