EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from May 1936, a French radio announcer can be seen broadcasting live from the promenade deck of the Queen Mary, during her maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The Queen Mary, a British ocean liner renowned for its size and luxury, was the largest ship in the world at the time of its launch. The excitement surrounding the maiden voyage was palpable, with passengers and crew alike eager to experience the latest in maritime technology and comfort. Radio broadcasts were a regular feature on board, keeping listeners back home in touch with the daily doings of those aboard the ship. The announcer, with his microphone and headphones, is in the midst of delivering a report to the listening audience, sharing the sights, sounds, and stories of the Queen Mary's maiden voyage. The deck, adorned with elegant Art Deco details, provides a fitting backdrop for this historic moment. The vast expanse of the ocean stretches out behind the ship, adding to the sense of adventure and discovery. The wireless technology used for these broadcasts was a marvel of the time, allowing people to connect with each other across great distances. The ability to receive live updates from the Queen Mary's maiden voyage would have been a source of excitement and pride for listeners, who could feel a part of the journey even if they weren't physically on board. This photograph captures a moment in time when technology and luxury came together to create a unique and memorable experience for those both on the ship and at home.
