Cruise Cunard Nov16 Deco Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the iconic Queen Mary, a Cunard White Star cruise liner that ruled the waves during the glamorous 1930s. The grandeur and elegance of this ocean liner are evident in every detail, from the intricate Art Deco styling of its smokestacks and hull to the meticulously manicured gardens and swimming pools on its sprawling deck. The Queen Mary, measuring an impressive 1,019 feet in length and boasting a top speed of 31.7 knots, was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner in service when it set sail on its maiden voyage in May 1936. With a capacity to carry over 2,000 passengers in opulence, it was a symbol of affluence and sophistication, attracting the rich and famous from around the world. The red, black, and gold color scheme of the ship is a testament to the Art Deco style that was all the rage during the 1930s. The ship's exterior was adorned with intricate geometric patterns, while the interior boasted lavishly decorated public spaces, grand ballrooms, and luxurious cabins. The Queen Mary was not just a means of transportation but a floating palace that offered its passengers a luxurious escape from the mundane world. This photograph is a glimpse into the past, a reminder of a bygone era when travel was an adventure and ocean liners were the epitome of luxury and glamour.
