EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the historic moment of the RMS Queen Mary's arrival in New York Harbor after her maiden voyage on August 8, 1938. The transatlantic ocean liner, a symbol of luxury and elegance, sails gracefully towards the iconic Manhattan skyline, surrounded by the shimmering waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The tall, majestic buildings of New York City, including the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, welcome the Queen Mary to her new home in America. The Queen Mary, the largest and most expensive ocean liner ever built at the time, had set sail from Southampton, England on May 27, 1936, and completed her maiden voyage in just over eight days. The ship was a marvel of engineering and design, featuring opulent interiors, grand ballrooms, swimming pools, and even a cinema. The photograph, taken by Aerofilms, offers a panoramic view of the scene, showcasing the vastness of the ocean, the grandeur of the ship, and the towering skyscrapers of New York City. It is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the time, and a reminder of the romance and adventure of ocean travel. The arrival of the Queen Mary in New York marked the beginning of a new era in transatlantic travel, and the ship went on to become a beloved icon of the maritime world. This photograph is a precious piece of history, capturing a moment in time that will never be forgotten.
