EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Cunard Liner Queen Mary as it served as a troop transport ship during World War II, docked in New York Harbor, USA. Circa 1945, the Queen Mary, a British superline and transatlantic vessel, was commissioned into military service to aid in the transportation of troops to the European Theater of Operations. The ship's impressive size and stature are on full display as it dominates the harbor, with soldiers and sailors milling about on the deck and the city skyline of New York City visible in the background. The Queen Mary's conversion into a troop transport ship was a crucial contribution to the Allied war effort, enabling the swift and efficient movement of troops across the Atlantic. This historical image offers a poignant reminder of the vital role that maritime transportation played during World War II and the sacrifices made by those who served.
