EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the majestic RMS Queen Mary, a symbol of luxury and innovation during the golden age of ocean liner travel. With its distinctive Art Deco design and imposing size, the Queen Mary was a marvel of engineering and design, measuring over 1,000 feet in length and capable of carrying over 2,000 passengers in style and comfort. Beyond its elegant exterior, the Queen Mary was also home to an intricate network of protected cabling, stretching for miles beneath its hull. These cables, totaling an impressive 4,000 miles, were essential for the ship's operation, providing electricity to power its various systems and amenities. The cabling was carefully shielded and insulated to protect it from the harsh marine environment and ensure the safety and comfort of its passengers. The 1930s, also known as the 30s or the Thirties, was a time of great advancement and progress, and the RMS Queen Mary was a testament to this era's ingenuity and ambition. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terry Parker from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when ocean travel was an adventure and the RMS Queen Mary was a true marvel of the seas.
