EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment as the RMS Queen Mary, the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, bids farewell to Clydebank, Scotland on March 24, 1936. The date marks the beginning of her maiden voyage to New York City. The Queen Mary, a testament to the engineering prowess of the era, was built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, and this poignant image shows her leaving her birthplace, surrounded by the misty waters of the River Clyde and the picturesque Scottish landscape. The liner's impressive size and stature are evident as she cuts through the water, with her distinctive funnels and elegant lines on full display. The Queen Mary was a symbol of hope and progress during the Great Depression, and her launch marked a significant milestone in the history of ocean travel. Her departure from Clydebank was a cause for celebration, with thousands of people lining the banks of the river to wave goodbye to the magnificent vessel. This photograph, taken from a unique perspective, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us back to a time when travel by sea was an adventure and a journey in itself. The Queen Mary went on to become a legendary ocean liner, serving both in war and peace, and her legacy continues to inspire and captivate people around the world.
