EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an excerpt from the engineers log of the legendary ocean liner, RMS Queen Mary, owned by Cunard White Star Line, during her illustrious service from May 1936 to July 1942. The log meticulously documents the technical data and engineering statistics from voyages numbered one through eighty-seven. During this period, the Queen Mary was under the command of esteemed captains, including Sir Edgar Britten RD RNR from May 1936 to April 1937 and J.G. Bisset from July 1942. The log provides a fascinating insight into the intricacies of the ship's engineering operations during these years. The log includes a wealth of information, such as the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) of the propellers, the temperature of the boilers, the consumption of fuel oil, and the pressure in the engine room. It also lists the names of the engineering personnel responsible for maintaining the ship's complex machinery. This rare and intriguing print offers a unique glimpse into the world of maritime engineering during the 1930s and 1940s. The log's detailed records provide a valuable resource for historians, engineers, and anyone with an interest in the history of ocean travel. The Queen Mary, a true marvel of engineering, set sail on her maiden voyage on May 27, 1936, and continued to transport passengers across the Atlantic Ocean until her retirement in 1967. This print is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the engineering personnel who ensured the safe and efficient operation of this magnificent vessel during her storied service.
