This print captures a momentous milestone in maritime history. Taken on the 5th of March, 1936, it showcases the magnificent SS Queen Mary nearing completion at a shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland. The sheer size and grandeur of this transatlantic passenger liner is awe-inspiring as it measures an impressive length of 1,020 feet and boasts a gross tonnage of 81,237. The Queen Mary's significance is further highlighted by its remarkable achievement in winning the prestigious Blue Riband for the fastest crossing of the North Atlantic in 1938.
