EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph showcases a lifeboat emergency ration tin from the iconic RMS Queen Mary, a British ocean liner renowned for its luxury and opulence. The tin, measuring 7 inches by 2½ inches, is identical to those previously sold on board the ship. Though often overshadowed by the grandeur of the ship itself, these ration tins were an essential component of safety equipment on board. The RMS Queen Mary, launched in 1936, was a true marvel of the sea, offering first-class accommodations and amenities to its passengers during transatlantic voyages between Southampton, England, and New York City. However, even the most luxurious liners were not immune to emergencies, and the presence of lifeboats and their accompanying ration tins were crucial for the safety and well-being of those on board. These ration tins were designed to provide sustenance in the event of a lifeboat evacuation. They contained a variety of essential food items, including biscuits, chocolate, and tea, to help keep survivors nourished during their time at sea. The tin's sturdy construction ensured that the contents remained protected and edible, even in the harshest of conditions. This particular tin, now a valuable collector's item, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preparation and safety on the high seas. Its presence in the photograph adds depth and intrigue to the story of the RMS Queen Mary, a ship that continues to captivate and inspire generations with its rich history and enduring legacy.
