Angeles Cunard Ensign Final Flown Include Jack Memento Onboard Presented Remaining Sail Souvenirs Voyage Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment from the final voyage of the legendary RMS Queen Mary in 1967. The last remaining man to have sailed on windjammers, a veteran seafarer who had witnessed the golden age of sail, is seen here proudly displaying a large red ensign, a cherished souvenir presented to him on board the Cunard liner. The RMS Queen Mary, an iconic British ocean liner and a symbol of transatlantic travel during the 20th century, was making its final journey to Los Angeles. As the ship prepared to enter a new chapter in its history, the crew and passengers paid tribute to the rich maritime heritage that the windjammers represented. The large red ensign, the Union Jack at the canton and St. George's Cross at the fly, is a symbol of British naval tradition and pride. The flag, flown on board the RMS Queen Mary during this voyage, adds a touch of history and nostalgia to the scene. The man in the photograph holds the flag with a sense of reverence, as if it were a precious memento from a bygone era. The image serves as a reminder of the seafaring traditions that shaped the lives of countless sailors and travelers, and the enduring allure of the sea. This photograph, along with other treasured souvenirs, is a testament to the deep connection between the RMS Queen Mary and the maritime history it represents. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the rich tapestry of stories and experiences that continue to shape our world.
