R. M. S. Queen Mary under construction, 1934

Photograph of Queen Mary, then known as 534, under construction at John Browns shipyard, Clydebank. Work on the massive liner had been halted between 1931 and 1934 due to lack of funds, but the merger of Cunard and White Star Line and a nine-and-a-half million pound government loan saved the vessel. She was launched in September 1934 by Queen Mary

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Glimpse into Maritime History: The Resurrection of R.M.S. Queen Mary from the Docks of Clydebank, 1934 This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in maritime history as R.M.S. Queen Mary, then known as 534, undergoes construction at John Brown's shipyard in Clydebank. The image, taken in December 1934, reveals the massive liner in various stages of completion, with workers diligently toiling away to bring her to life. The story of Queen Mary's construction is one of resilience and determination. After being halted between 1931 and 1934 due to a lack of funds, the merger of Cunard and White Star Line, and a nine-and-a-half million pound government loan, breathed new life into the project. The launch of this ocean liner on September 26, 1934, was a cause for great celebration, with Queen Mary herself performing the honors. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the intricacies of shipbuilding during this era. The vastness of the shipyard and the intricate details of the vessel's design are on full display, from the towering cranes and scaffolding to the meticulously placed rivets and welds. The image also serves as a testament to the ingenuity and skill of the workers who labored to bring this engineering marvel to fruition. As we reflect on this historical moment, we are reminded of the rich maritime heritage that has shaped our world. The R.M.S. Queen Mary, an icon of ocean travel, went on to make history as the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, paving the way for future innovations in marine transportation. This photograph stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of human ingenuity and the power of perseverance in the face of adversity.
