Description

The RMS Queen Mary was a pioneering ocean liner that dominated the transatlantic route in the mid-20th century. Launched in 1936, she won the coveted Blue Riband and continued to serve as a troopship during World War II before being retired with her sister ship, Queen Elizabeth. This book presents a unique collection of unpublished photographs and ephemera from Andrew Britton's extensive archive, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of the RMS Queen Mary. Rare wartime views, behind-the-scenes images, and detailed records such as menus, log books, timetables, tickets, and captain's invitations are just a few examples of the wealth of material presented here. With over 120 pages of photographs and documents, this book provides an engaging and informative look at the RMS Queen Mary's remarkable history.
