EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the momentous occasion of painting the name "RMS Queen Mary" on the hull of the grand ocean liner. The image, by acclaimed photographer Terry Parker, transports us back in time to the golden age of luxury travel by sea. The RMS Queen Mary, a veritable floating palace, was the pride of the Clydebank Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Glasgow, Scotland. This colossal steamship, measuring over 1,000 feet in length and capable of carrying 1,500 passengers in opulence, was a marvel of engineering and design. The photograph shows a team of skilled painters meticulously applying the elegant letters to the ship's side, with the Clyde River and Glasgow's skyline in the background. The intricate detail and precision of their work are evident, as they carefully trace each letter, ensuring a flawless finish. The RMS Queen Mary's maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City took place in May 1936, marking the beginning of a new era in transatlantic travel. This photograph serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry involved in bringing this magnificent vessel to life, as well as the excitement and anticipation surrounding its launch. With its rich history and iconic status, the RMS Queen Mary continues to captivate and inspire generations, making this photograph a must-have for any maritime enthusiast or history buff.
