EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Terry Parker in 1936, captures a historic moment as the RMS Queen Mary, a luxurious ocean liner of the 1930s, makes its way down the River Clyde in Scotland, assisted by an impressive fleet of seven tugs. The RMS Queen Mary, a symbol of elegance and opulence in the world of travel, is seen here with her distinctive funnels emitting plumes of steam, creating a mesmerizing contrast against the calm waters and the clear blue sky. The tugs, each with their powerful engines, work in unison to help steer the massive ship through the river's gentle curves and currents. The water's surface ripples with each tug's wake, adding a dynamic element to the serene scene. The aerial perspective offers a unique vantage point, allowing us to fully appreciate the sheer size and grandeur of the RMS Queen Mary, as well as the intricate dance between the ship and the tugs. This photograph is a testament to the engineering marvels of the 1930s, a time when the world was enchanted by the possibilities of luxury travel across the seas. The RMS Queen Mary, with its iconic design and unparalleled amenities, represented the epitome of sophistication and adventure, making this moment a truly memorable one in maritime history.
