EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of industry and determination that defined the shipbuilding community in Glasgow during the 1930s. Thousands of skilled shipbuilders and laborers, depicted here in this image by Terry Parker from Mary Evans Prints Online, worked tirelessly to bring the iconic RMS Queen Mary to life. The steamship, a symbol of luxury and opulence, was one of the most famous ocean liners of its time, and its construction was a source of great pride for the people of Clydebank, Scotland. The men in this photograph, dressed in their work clothes and focused on their tasks, embody the grit and determination that was required to build such a magnificent vessel. The intricate details of the ship's hull can be seen taking shape, with the distinctive funnel and propellers already in place. The cranes and scaffolding loom large in the background, a testament to the engineering prowess of the shipbuilders. The RMS Queen Mary was launched in 1936, and it went on to serve as a luxury liner for Cunard Line until the end of the war. It was then converted into a troopship, transporting over 800,000 troops and civilians across the Atlantic. After the war, it was returned to its original purpose, and it continued to be a popular choice for transatlantic travel until its retirement in 1967. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human effort and ingenuity that went into building the RMS Queen Mary, and it stands as a testament to the rich maritime history of Glasgow and Scotland.
