EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the 1930s, the River Clyde in Scotland became a magnet for onlookers as the colossal structure of the RMS Queen Mary began to take shape. This iconic ocean liner, a marvel of engineering and luxury travel, was under construction at the John Brown & Company shipyard in Clydebank, near Glasgow. The sight of the ship being built attracted thousands of curious sightseers, who came to witness the progress of this engineering feat firsthand. The photograph, taken by Terry Parker, captures the RMS Queen Mary in its formative stages. The hull of the ship is visible, with scaffolding reaching high into the sky, supporting the workers as they toil away. The intricate network of pipes and cables can be seen crisscrossing the ship, a testament to the complex systems that would power and sustain the vessel once completed. The RMS Queen Mary was the largest and most expensive ocean liner ever built at the time, and her construction was a source of great pride for the people of Scotland. The ship was designed to offer unparalleled luxury and comfort to its passengers, with opulent amenities such as swimming pools, ballrooms, and grand staircases. The sight of the RMS Queen Mary under construction was a spectacle unlike any other, and the photograph by Terry Parker captures the sense of wonder and excitement that surrounded the project. The River Clyde, once a bustling hub of shipbuilding activity, now stands as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the past. This iconic image is a reminder of a bygone era, when the construction of a single ship could captivate the world.
