R.M.S. Queen Mary 1950

Project Description

The Queen Mary was the high water mark of the conventional ocean liner she incorporated everything learned over the years and in many people’s opinion was the greatest of all the liners.

Unfortunately she could not outrun time, the advent of the jet finished the transatlantic service as a profit making business and one by one the liners of the day paid off for good, in her final years of service the Queen Mary often sailed with more crew than passengers.

Fortunately the Cunard line didn’t give up completely they evolved with the time and realised that while people now used the jet to get to and from work, there was a section of society which wanted to sail for pleasure, today 2015 a new Queen sails the seas The Queen Mary 2 the one and only true trans Atlantic liner which has taken advantage of this market.

The former Queen Mary survives in California as a museum a testament to a bygone era.
