EDITORS COMMENTS
"A Majestic Sight: Queen Mary's Maiden Voyage Down the River Clyde, March 1936 This photograph captures the historic moment when the luxurious ocean liner, Queen Mary, began her maiden voyage from Clydebank, Scotland, where her interior was meticulously fitted out. The date was March 1936, and the anticipation was palpable as the magnificent vessel prepared to set sail on its first passenger cruise for the Cunard Line. The image offers a bird's-eye view of the event, with the Queen Mary maneuvering down the River Clyde towards Greenock. Seven powerful tugs are visible, working tirelessly to position the colossal ship in the narrow channel. Two tugs are strategically placed at the stern and bow, while three more push against the starboard side of the Queen Mary to ensure a smooth transition. The 1930s, an era of glamour and opulence, were marked by the advent of luxury passenger cruisers like the Queen Mary. This steamship, a marvel of engineering and design, symbolized the pinnacle of oceanic travel during that time. The crowds that gathered along the banks of the River Clyde were a testament to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the maiden voyage of this magnificent vessel. As the Queen Mary sailed away from the shores of Scotland, it carried with it the hopes and dreams of thousands of passengers, embarking on a journey to new horizons. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when travel by sea was an adventure in itself and the promise of a luxury cruise was an irresistible allure for the discerning traveler."
