EDITORS COMMENTS
A Grand Send-Off: The Queen Mary Ocean Liner Prepares for Her Maiden Voyage Down the River Clyde, Scotland, March 1936 In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Queen Mary Ocean Liner, a symbol of luxury and elegance, is seen at her berth in Clydebank, Scotland, eagerly awaiting her first journey down the River Clyde to Southampton for her final fitting-out on March 24, 1936. The date marks an important moment in maritime history, as the Queen Mary, a magnificent steamship and the flagship of the Cunard Line, was about to embark on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The Queen Mary, a true marvel of the 1930s, was the largest and most expensive ocean liner ever built at the time, measuring 1,019 feet in length and capable of carrying over 2,000 passengers in style and comfort. This photograph captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding the vessel as she prepares to leave the shipyard and begin her illustrious career as a transatlantic cruiser. The scene is set against the backdrop of the picturesque Clydebank waterfront, with the hustle and bustle of activity in the dockyard and the green hills of Inverclyde in the distance. The Queen Mary, with her gleaming hull and elegant funnels, stands proudly against the gray Scottish sky, a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the era. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone age, when travel by sea was a grand and glamorous affair. It transports us back to a time when the journey was just as important as the destination, and the ocean liner was the epitome of luxury and adventure. As the Queen Mary sets sail, we can't help but be captivated by the sense of history and romance that surrounds this iconic vessel and the memories she represents.
