EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the majesty and grandeur of the Queen Mary, a true maritime icon and the pride of the Cunard White Star Line in the 1930s. Hull Number 534, popularly known as the Queen Mary, was launched on September 26, 1934, marking the beginning of a new era in ocean travel. The ship's sleek, streamlined design and impressive size set it apart from other vessels of the time. Measuring 1,019 feet in length and with a tonnage of 81,277 gross register tons, the Queen Mary was the largest ocean liner in the world when it entered service. Its impressive dimensions were matched by its advanced engineering, including a powerful steam turbine engine that could propel the ship through the Atlantic Ocean at an impressive speed of 31.5 knots. The Queen Mary was a symbol of luxury and elegance, with opulent public spaces, grand ballrooms, and spacious cabins. It offered first-class accommodations for the wealthy and famous, as well as more affordable options for travelers of more modest means. The ship's maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City on May 27, 1936, was a triumph, with the Queen Mary setting new records for the fastest transatlantic crossing. This photograph captures the Queen Mary in all its glory, with its distinctive funnel and elegant lines on full display. It is a testament to the golden age of ocean travel and a reminder of the romance and adventure that once defined crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
