EDITORS COMMENTS
A Splendid Sight: The RMS Queen Mary and the Palace of Westminster in 1934 This photograph showcases the majestic RMS Queen Mary, the world's largest liner at the time, docked near the iconic Palace of Westminster on the River Thames. Built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland, and launched in 1934, the Queen Mary was a true marvel of engineering and design, symbolizing the pinnacle of ocean travel during the golden age of transatlantic passenger liners. The image offers a striking contrast between the historic landmark and the modern marvel of the ship. The Palace of Westminster, home to the Houses of Parliament and the iconic Big Ben and Victoria Tower, stands tall and proud, a testament to the rich history of the United Kingdom. In comparison, the Queen Mary, with her distinctive funnels and sleek silhouette, appears even more impressive in size, dwarfing the Palace of Westminster. Now permanently moored at Long Beach, California, the RMS Queen Mary continues to be a beloved icon, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era. This photograph, taken in 1934, serves as a reminder of the comparative scale of these architectural wonders and the impact of human ingenuity on both land and sea.
