EDITORS COMMENTS
"In this photograph from the 1930s, the RMS Queen Mary gracefully glides towards open anchorage off the coast of Greenock, Scotland. Four hours have passed since her departure from the fitting-out basin, and the steamship's grandeur is evident as she cuts through the tranquil waters. The RMS Queen Mary, a symbol of luxury and opulence during the era of ocean liner travel, exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. Built between 1930 and 1934, the RMS Queen Mary was a marvel of maritime engineering, measuring over 1,000 feet in length and capable of carrying over 2,000 passengers in style and comfort. This photograph captures a moment in history, as the magnificent vessel makes her way to her final destination, ready to welcome her esteemed passengers aboard for a journey across the Atlantic. The RMS Queen Mary's arrival at Greenock was an eagerly anticipated event, drawing crowds of onlookers to the shores to catch a glimpse of the magnificent ship. The 1930s were a golden age for transatlantic travel, and the RMS Queen Mary was one of the most iconic vessels of the time. This photograph serves as a reminder of the romance and adventure that once defined ocean travel, and the enduring allure of the open sea." Terry Parker's evocative image transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the excitement and anticipation that surrounded the arrival of the RMS Queen Mary in Scotland's shores. The photograph is a testament to the power of the sea, the ingenuity of human engineering, and the enduring allure of the open ocean.
