EDITORS COMMENTS
Front Cover: The Majestic Queen Mary Ocean Liner, Ready for Her Voyage to Greenock, Scotland In this photograph from the March 1936 issue of the Weekly Illustrated magazine, the Queen Mary ocean liner is seen gracefully resting in the dock at Clydebank in Scotland. The anticipation of her upcoming voyage is palpable as she prepares to embark on another luxury passenger cruise across the Atlantic. The Queen Mary, an engineering marvel of her time, is a steam-powered ocean liner that revolutionized ocean travel in the 1930s. Her sleek design and innovative features, such as air conditioning and spacious cabins, made her a coveted mode of transportation for the wealthy and the adventurous. As the date of her departure to Greenock approaches, an intricate maneuver is required to position her bow seawards. An escort of powerful tugs, stationed in the River Clyde, will guide her across the river, a journey of approximately five hours. The aerial view of the scene reveals the vastness of the shipyard and the intricate network of boats and vessels that support the transportation industry in Inverclyde, Scotland. The tranquil waters of the River Clyde reflect the grandeur of the Queen Mary, as seagulls fly overhead, adding a touch of nature to this historical event. This photograph, taken in March 1936, is a testament to the rich maritime history of Scotland and the importance of ocean travel during the 1930s. The Queen Mary, a symbol of luxury and innovation, embodies the spirit of adventure and the allure of the open sea.
