1967 Crane Cranes Cunard Departing Departure Final Leaving Southampton Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment as the RMS Queen Mary, a legendary ocean liner of the Cunard Line, sails out of Southampton Harbour for the last time on October 31, 1967. The Queen Mary, a symbol of luxury and elegance in transport and travel, had graced the seas since her maiden voyage in 1936. With the advent of jet travel, ocean liners like the Queen Mary were becoming obsolete. The image shows the majestic ship, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, as it begins its final journey across the Atlantic. The cranes in the background, a common sight in the bustling harbor, stand as silent witnesses to the historic event. The water shimmers in the fading light, mirroring the ship's elegant silhouette. The Queen Mary's smokestacks billow out plumes of white steam, adding to the sense of movement and departure. The 1960s, a decade of change and innovation, saw the end of an era in ocean travel. The RMS Queen Mary's final departure from Southampton marked the end of an iconic chapter in maritime history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the romance and grandeur of a bygone era, and the sense of adventure and discovery that ocean travel once offered.
