EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history when the magnificent R.M.S. Queen Mary was undergoing maintenance in dry dock at Southampton in April 1936. The luxury Cunard White Star Liner, known for its opulence and grandeur, had its hull repainted and all four of its massive propellers changed during this time.
The image showcases the bow of the iconic ship, with intricate details of her structure visible against the backdrop of the dry dock. Each propeller on the Queen Mary weighed an astonishing 35 tons, highlighting the sheer size and power of this ocean liner.
As one gazes upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, it is impossible not to be transported back in time to an era when such vessels represented the height of luxury travel. The historical significance of this moment is palpable, as we witness a crucial aspect of maritime engineering being carried out with precision and expertise.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our past and honoring those who contributed to shaping it. The R.M.S. Queen Mary remains a symbol of elegance and innovation, captured here in all her glory during a pivotal moment in her storied history.
