EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the early stages of the construction of the Queen Mary Ocean Liner, then known as Hull Number 534, at John Brown & Company's shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland, in the late 1930s. The major task of building this magnificent ocean liner began in December 1930 on the River Clyde. However, due to the economic downturn of the Great Depression, exactly one year after the ship was started, it became necessary to suspend the construction of the vessel, pending some changes in financial prospects. The image shows the stern of the ship, with one of its huge propellers taking center stage. The shipyard is bustling with activity, as cranes and other machinery are employed to shape and construct the colossal vessel. The scene is a testament to the industrial might of the time, with the British shipbuilding industry at the forefront of transportation innovation. The Queen Mary, a steam-powered ocean liner, was eventually completed in 1936 and became a symbol of hope and progress during a time of economic hardship. It went on to serve Cunard Line with distinction, plying the North Atlantic route between Southampton, England, and New York City, USA. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the meticulous and complex process of building a steamship of this magnitude during the 1930s.
