The Passenger Liner 'Queen Mary' Arriving at Southampton, 27 March 1936
An interpretation of the Cunard White Star liner 'Queen Mary's' first arrival at Southampton, Hampshire, from her builder, John Brown of Clydebank. This liner, along with the French 'Normandie' represented the apogee in size and comfort for ships on the pre-war North Atlantic route. Her decorations were contemporary and lavish, with work on her carried out by a team of some of the country's leading artists. The ship, dressed overall with flags, is visible on the right, being towed into the dock by a tug to the left and a tug on the far right. The ship alongside on the far left is the Cunard liner 'Majestic' which the 'Queen Mary' was built to supersede.. Stunning Photo Gifts From National Maritime Museum
